The Gas v Reds MDT

1-1, a point at a tough place while not playing well. I'll take that!

 

Aye he's had a cracking pre season with another new manager who really rates him

 

Just that?

 

You need to forget him. I’d be highly surprised if he’s ever in a red shirt again.

 

Went for 1-1 before and it’s a decent point. Started off for the first 10 minutes like Brazil but slowly got worse as the game went on.

Service to our strikers was poor all day but also nothing stuck with them. I still think we need a big ‘un who can hold it up. We don’t have anyone that can do that.

 

Get out of jail card has been played there. We didn’t have a sniff from scoring until late in injury time. Rovers did ok but I honestly think we were awful for 75% of the game today.

Jon Russell runs like he’s towing a caravan through treacle backwards.

Max Watters I really hope isn’t fully fit as if this is his limit then we are in trouble, as Shaw and Dallas look limited.

We need Phillips back in the side Tuesday, but we need Connell to recover more, we are so limited without him.

If we end up selling Kitching, this defence will cave. Add Williams to that, doesn’t bear thinking about. Scary thought, and Kitching I don’t think was great today. Williams has to stay as well though.

Kane and/or Styles have rumoured suitors - with Phillips coming back, Connell hopefully not too long, with Benson and Wolfe to come too, maybe we can afford to lose one of them. But not both.

But there’s one glaring requirement. We kept nothing in the final third today.

Based on what evidence?

 

Yes it was shocking to be fair, we defended well enough, showed little in midfield, not pointing finger at Cotter but he's like an old world war two Italian Tank too many reverse gears, and the front two Cole an Watters, 5 h i t e, to be fair. A good point an we ought to be grateful for that.

 

Sinclair wasn’t even close to being offside from what I’ve seen

 

Hmm. Any team worth their salt could have buried us last week. We were 2 up against the run of play and played 2nd half against a team that did not turn up. I haven't watched it today but I bet I can guess how it was played. I will judge em when we get our first choice midfield back.

 

We'll only finish on 92 points at this rate. Tinpot, boo

 

Spot on, we’re unbeaten on 4 points after 2 games with a +7 goal difference. New coach still getting to know his players, players still getting to know each other, all positive for me at the moment.

 

We were cut wide open far too easily today and didn't have an answer to it, hopefully Collins has learned a lot today and that the pass it back or lump it long tactics need tweaking.
Good point and hopefully lessons learned today.

 

On what basis have you formed that opinion. You make it sound like he’s a world beater!

Successive managers clearly don’t rate him and he’s done next to nothing when given a chance.

If he’s the answer I’d dread to think what the question is!

 

He should have been played in the cup game!

 

A worrying performance, we seemed not to change tactics to avoid their cutting through us like a hot knife through butter, the warning signs were there in the first half, hopefully we can learn from this game because if not I fear some heavy defeats

 

He should be binned waste of oxygen.

 

Correct about slagging Watters.. Cole did no better. Both Shaw and Dallas looked toothles.
We actually looked second rate all over the field.. very slow and laboured going forward and never really threatend there goal.. shoulda/coulda easy lost quite heavy had Rovers forwards been able to hit a barn door..
We looked a poor side today..

 

I was harsh on watters for effort today and he looks slow and abit unfit, but Harry kane wouldn't have scored for us today we created Jack ****. When cotter got in decent crossing positions he turned back and played it backwards. Tippy tappy playing around the defence.

 

Guessing!.... exactly that!
