Such a strange malaise about tonight for a semi final one game from Wembley. Fans don’t seem bothered and looking at the line up Grant doesn’t seem bothered either.

Only one manager wants to win tonight!!!!

RoversInSpain · « **Reply #62 on** March 03, 2026, 07:57:14 pm by RoversInSpain »

And only one manager is being loyal to his players who got this far…. So which attitude will be the winning ingredient

Think its pretty obvious after 12 mins

Good point ..Supporters aren’t convinced we can win it . Not with standing that we’ve put out a poor line up … McCanns not bothered about Wembley if it ends up it costs us a decent finish to the campaign.

You're saying that but why then drop TLT especially after his heroics in the last round?

One way traffic,no shot at goal.

Don’t get the whole being loyal nonsense. He’s not playing TLT who effectively got us here, so why’s it matter about the others? We’ve basically decided to put our second string out against their first team. Only going to end one way

Lack of match sharpness is frightening!!

drfcsteve · « **Reply #69 on** March 03, 2026, 08:50:44 pm by drfcsteve »

We have been very poor first half, lucky to only be one down. I’m sorry but McGrath is an absolute liability, no awareness whatsoever of what’s happening around him. At one point after Pearson got done instead of McGrath covering it got left to Ben Close to sprint past McGrath and tidy up, ridiculous!

McCann needs to be all over Clark! If it weren’t for him McCann would look nothing short of an idiot going in at half time 4 or 5 down.
Atrocious team selection

Zander has kept us in this. It could have been 4-0 to county

dickos1 · « **Reply #72 on** March 03, 2026, 08:54:55 pm by dickos1 »

McGrath looks like he’s won a competition to play tonight, he needs to come off, Robinson needs to come off, Sharp needs to come off
Bring Bailey, gotts and hanlon on, immediately

CJK · « **Reply #73 on** March 03, 2026, 08:55:22 pm by CJK »

I know they've put their best eleven out but jeez that was poor. Clark has kept us in it. That wall for the goal was crap, it went through at head height.

RoversInSpain · « **Reply #74 on** March 03, 2026, 08:56:23 pm by RoversInSpain »

Players have let McCann down, look half asleep or scared witless, not sure which. Seems loyalty does not work. Let’s hope for many HT changes

Scooter · « **Reply #75 on** March 03, 2026, 08:58:56 pm by Scooter »

Big changes inbound

Bills view · « **Reply #76 on** March 03, 2026, 08:59:30 pm by Bills view »

How McCann doesn’t change after 20 mins is beyond me.

We were battered in that first half

Scooter · « **Reply #77 on** March 03, 2026, 08:59:51 pm by Scooter »

Hanlan, Mols, Bailey and senior all out in full kits.

jmt23 · « **Reply #78 on** March 03, 2026, 09:01:44 pm by jmt23 »

This is what you get when you collect deep lying midfielders like we have. Not one of them can play anywhere else, and that is more than a tonight issue.
Close is by far the best player on the pitch with the ball, I’m not sure if broadbent has touched the ball yet.
It was quite literally attack vs defence.

Thought Maxwell did well in the first half, surprised he's been hooked.

McGrath MOM for me. Sorry my old mate.
When are we going to get a Doolan in mid field.

We were absolutely terrible

even if we had one he probably would have been on the bench

drfcsteve · « **Reply #84 on** March 03, 2026, 09:57:13 pm by drfcsteve »

Shambles. Improvement second half sure, but what on earth were we thinking with that starting line up.

Hope everyone enjoyed Adelakun filling in at centre half so McGrath could play in midfield for the last 5 minutes.

dickos1 · « **Reply #85 on** March 03, 2026, 09:57:19 pm by dickos1 »

Excellent performance in the second half,
The ref was a disgrace

It's hard to give what you haven't got.

Clark is some keeper

PDX_Rover · « **Reply #88 on** March 03, 2026, 10:01:15 pm by PDX_Rover »

Ah well. There we are… focus on the league. I just want us to avoid relegation this season.

Sorry, Pearson and McGrath no where near the quality required for this league
