He was terrible.

His performance summer up by him being put through and being one on one with the defender on the edge of their box, and it nearly resulting in a goal for them, when he barely tried to get the ball back.

I wouldn't particular single him out but how anyone could say he was one of the better performers is beyond me .

Everyone was a 1 or 2 out of 10 but he'd definitely be one of the 1s.

Apart from that not happening? Nearly resulting in a goal is massive exaggeration.

It didn't sum up his performance either. Being available, putting in several decent crosses and running at them when others weren't showing or trying to make things happened summed up his performance.

In the scale of things he's shit, he's frustrating and he has too many brain farts. There was much much worse players on the pitch today though, but too many notice him involved and the frustrating bits and need a scapegoat.
 
Tell you what, let's play the same team as last week shall we. Niel and Embleton midfield pair worked well last week. O.K.How about the new lads starting ? Nah ,happy how it went.Right,it's only Donny,should be no problem with our quality all over the pitch. That was the problem WE WERE all over the pitch.Painful,scared to death,kids need dropping NOW.

I think the problem is that no manager in the world will be able to get a tune out of these players.

This afternoon, I kept on thinking about Coleman's repeated mantra, that the players 'have to take responsibility'.
Today wasn't as bad as Bolton but, there again, we were playing Doncaster, The only surprise to me today was that we actually scored.
 
As I said earlier. Set up for a massive let down. And because this is Sunlan that's exactly what we got.

Can't understand a temporary management team who decides to play safe and pick that team. And then when it is clearly failing, let's them play on for vital minutes into the second half.

Let's face it - they'll probably be out of the door under the new manager so they might as well have ridden the wave of optimism and played the new guys from the start. Or at least made three changes at half time. They did neither. They probably couldn't win whatever they did but I'd rather see us fail through trying too hard than not enough.

We know we have some decent players - the results we've had this season prove it. Some of them have lost confidence massively in the past couple of months. Players we all lauded are now playing very poorly. Injuries have fecked us over but...

We need organisation at the back
We need to stop chopping and changing lineups and let players get used to each other, especially at the back (injuries permitting)
We need some real leaders in defence and midfield

Utterly pissed off with the result.
