    Bags of width and attacking options. Flitcroft is not my tip by any stretch but that was radically different from anything Hill served up. we absolutely battered them second half and it was fantastic to watch at times. Fair enough players need resting over xmas, but we missed Fozzy.

    Fozzy can head a ball, but lacks pace and his distribution is awful. I don't think he would have improved things today. I honestly don't know what more we could have done to win it...

    We could've started with harewood instead of Davies for a start. Davies needs dropping to the bench as he's clearly not interested anymore. We may have had a better chance with marlon starting going off his application when he finally came on.

    It would have been a brave move to drop our top scorer for a misfiring Harewood. But he did make the right call with the substitution, and I'd expect Marlon to start on Saturday.

    Davies was their best player.

    Maybe, but after the previous two games where he was utter garbage, his penalty miss and his refusal of a contract it would have been totally justified imho.

    Refreshing except for the retention of Davies. It has come to something these last few months when I find myself yelling for Marlon to come on.

    Davies should be docked his wages for the last two weeks - if I put as much effort into my job as he has, I'd be sacked.

    Lazy, idle, tart.

    If someone is willing to pay good money in January for this lard arse, I'll gladly drive him there.

    A half-decent, half-arsed striker would have had a bagful today, given some of the crosses jimbo and the others were putting in.

    I think Marlon still has something to offer. His chance is very likely to come. Daggers was superb, his shot that hit the post was still beautiful to watch.

    Daggers was my MoM today despite having the handicap of Davies.

    Trouble is, when you are down there you don't usually get what you deserve and never more so than was the case today....

    I am sick of losing..............it's become a habit at BFC.

    Yep, we've had some bad luck, but we are not doing the basics ie. defending at all costs.
    And then when we ocassionally get a scoring chance, we miss more than we score.

    Davies was dealing with no support or decent service first half. He became a bit of a scapegoat but he was grafting. Harewood didn't do much different to Davies, he was just a different face.

    Tbf we did seem more of a threat today compared to the possession and anti climax of past performances.at least today it was because of the lack of quality,luck in front of goal and poor defending rather than poor tactics and effort imo

    Rose tinted davies specs there pal im afraid. He was woeful, didnt make space for the ball, was 5 yards off any decent balls in from obrian and anyone else, touch like a rapist when he finally got onto owt. The should call him bleedin teflon boy cos nowt seems to stick. He was totally disinterested, face it, he's had enough of laikin for us and wants to move on. His last 3 "performances" clearly show this.

    Davies has turned good contract offer down. Want to consider his options. Then let him go probably Grimsby or Lincoln not good enough for Rotherham.
