10/10 Exactly what I thought. It was noticeable that their first team manager was right on the touchline encouraging his team throughout the game. I was on that side of the stand but I never noticed our guys doing much. You’re dead right about Barrett, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him make a save that was out of the extremely basic. Regarding Tyjon, he got absolutely no service so no wonder he got disheartened. Our 3 were over run by their 4 in midfield and we never did anything much to alter that. It didn’t matter but I was right in line for their 4th goal. Their guy was yards off side. Not feet, yards. It just looked like we were just fulfilling a promise for a pre-season friendly. One team wanted it, and one didn’t.

Dead right, they played like they didn’t want to be there. We were out enthused all over the pitch. Too many gift goals, too slow to get the ball forward. I was really disappointed. One way traffic in the second half, 4-1 flattered us. Going off that showing not one of those players can be knocking on the managers door and be asking why they aren’t under consideration for a first team slot. If I were some of them I’d be looking around for a real job. Pro football isn’t for them.I don’t know who’s coaching them but the Dale had a 2 on 1 down our left side all the second half and nobody did a thing to rectify it. .

We aren’t making enough chances. We weren’t last season either but then we had Sammi to put the odd chance away.

Anybody else going to the Rochdale v Rovers U-21’s tomorrow ? It’s pay on the gate according to the Dale site. I’m going with my grandson. It’s £2 for adults and £1 for kids and dinosaurs like me.

I’ve been thinking along those lines. The current set up isn’t working. I’ve also been concerned about have two water carriers in central midfield, especially in home games, for a while. What did we sign the lad from Stoke for ? I thought he was a more attacking midfield player ?

I’ve never understood what whoever signed Hedges actually thought we would be getting. A deeply average player as far as I can see.

Your thought about Cantwell crossed my mind yesterday. He’s been increasingly influential as a player yet at the same time our performances have tanked ! Is there a connection ?

One thing’s for sure, Gally won’t be scoring the winner.

I remember the bloke who wanted to sue the ref for awarding in the penalty. They had him on the TV news. He’d never be out of court today.

Nice goal from Edmundson.

If we had half a team we’d beat them this time.

Traditional crossing of the ball isn’t flavour of the month anymore. Ask Pep, he’ll tell you. It’s too much of a lottery, you may lose the ball. You need to keep passing the ball around until you lose it instead.

Something needs to change, we can’t carry with the current system. If we were to play two up front I’d start with Gueye and Ohashi.

Something has to change if we are hoping to score enough goals to win games.

Carter is out whilst after Xmas apparently.

I remember coming off after a similar performance to todays. On the way out a guy said to me -“ I believe they’ve just found where Lord Lucan has been hiding, he was playing up front for Rovers today .l.

I’ve been there. It’s not doing anybody any good.

I like the “ As for Amorim don’t know him don’t like him “ !

Any team news ?
