Dobson and Power are not the answer to our midfield problems . Both have been completely over run in the first half. Maguire looks laborious as well ,blows hot and cold and looks disinterested today .
Defence all over the place ,not helped by playing two defensive midfielders ,constantly dropping back in the way .
Luckily Rochdale just as porous at the back .
Good summary . Too many passengers
 
Not blaming the manager here like!! That’s too f***ing easy! Don’t think Parkinson said “get out there lads don’t even try to settle on the ball, infact show no composure and if you can look like your scared to loose possession and just lump it that would be ideal” these are supposed to be professional players. Take the lead five minutes to go till half time and the first thing we do is lump the f***ing ball back to the opposition. And OMG Dobson get off your miles off the pace!
 
Danny Collins sounds like he's dying inside. Isn't he employed by SAFC to do this? Must be so hard to hold your tongue while watching our worst ever team.
He's growing on me, called it exactly right for the second equaliser, keep hold of the ball, move it around at the back, bring them out.
What do we do, give the fucker away Dobson fails to clear the ball and its 2-2.
 
The whole team look disinterested. No passion and no application. Our midfield is woeful and Maguire should be taken off at half time along with Power and Dobson. It would be great to bring Diamond and Neal on...alas!
 
You really are thick like. A top striker would be getting 25+ in league one over 46 games. 1 in 2 is a fair average

Tell me how many strikers have over 25 goals in league one in the past 6 or 7 season..

You're f***ing bonkers pal. If Wyke gets 18 goals this season and we don't get promoted, he won't be the issue.. Far from it.
 
You need to, you know, do something for the rest of the game as well. And he only has 3 in 7 league games, hardly prolific

Can't recall him playing seven games but don't let facts get in the way of your absolute mind numbing bollocks.

Three in five, (which is even better than your one in two quotes), makes it sound a little better, don't you think? :rolleyes:

Danny is right, far too sloppy passing. Need to just need to keep it simple and not force anything. And f***ing track a player running 20 yards to get a free header and goal, twice!
 
Sanderson played for Cardiff last season at rwb, iirc, so Parkinson deems it fit to put a useless non entity kernt in McLaughlin in that position instead. And put Sanderson at CB. Should be sacked for that alone.
Certainly a strange decision.
1st impressions are that Sanderson is very comfortable on the ball/we know McLaughlin isn't.
McLaughlin for all his failings looks like he can defend/Sanderson has been involved in defending b potentially at fault for both their goals 😒
 
The big positive was how solid we were defensively, that didn’t last long. Bang average league 1 team
