This is absolutely fecking pathetic |
He has to go, simple as that, been saying for months that we’re falling dramatically, rubbish football, no guts, no passion, no leaders. He looks for everyone else to blame but himself, it’s a lottery to guess which keeper is starting, players consistently played out of position.
Keith Hill, please go because I love this club but you’re making watching us unbearable, do the right thing for yourself, the club and the fans and leave. If you don’t, league 2 is a certainty. |  | |  |

We have no points and no chance of scoring. Home made self destruction |
Totally agree with your last point. Today is merely an exclamation point on the problems created and not solved by the manager. |  |

The point-scoring that’s started needs to stop, it achieves nothing. |
That's a helluva gameplan... |  |

Doncaster obviously had someone watching on Saturday and has told their boss that if they attack from the start and put pressure on our defenders, we will crumble and never recover. Awaiting another first half substitution that has no effect. |
Absolute garbage. Ability but no shape, game plan and most important no heart. Some of the worst dale performances since the barrow era. Sort these players out or time to move on Keith. They are either not listening or you have lost their respect. This squad has the ability but these games are now just shambolic. | | | |

We have a free kick 40 yards from our goal line on the left flank. Play forward? No. Backwards. Loose pass forward. Rush pass backwards. Goes back to keeper. Spoons his pass. Foul. Free kick. Unmarked but cannot quite get it in. Seen this or something similar at least 5 times this half. |  | | |

Another hammering, but it's alright cause we beat 10 men not long ago. | | | |

Might be time to take Adshead out of the firing line, he looks like what he is out there....a schoolboy. His time will come but it's not yet and his confidence must be taking a battering. | | | |

Seen this at least 100 times this season. It's one of the reasons we are in the mess we are in. Our confidence is shot to pieces. I said it after Bradford - that I didn't know how Hilly would get us up for this one. It's plain he couldn't and didn't but the longer term is now becoming more of a concern. It seems the confidence from two wins was much more fragile and easily usurped by the fear of more losses. |  |

Bood off at half time at shouts of Hill out heard |  |

If we were playing a coherent system with shape, players in the right position, learning from mistakes but still losing then you could say, fair enough, we might just not be good enough. None of that is the case though and the buck with all that stops with the manager and his stubbornness and inability to get anything from the players at his disposal. | | | |

I feel bad for the youth players out there because they need composed professionals and leaders with them and in that 45 they had confused amateurs and pussies. I hope someone robs the team coach and they have to walk back. | | | |

Glad I gave this a swerve. Even if I am freezing my nads off at Ashton United. |  | | |

Bet you've seen better defending at Ashton as well [Post edited 1 Jan 2019 15:55]

Half time thoughts.
Norman has pulled off some good saves but his distribution has been absolutely atrocious. Not even looking to control the ball and get his head up- just kicking it forward with no direction on site. Not good enough, hope this is his last game.
The midfield looks so fragile- the amount of times we’ve let their players run through our team has been embarrassing. I liked the idea of a diamond and at times (very few and far) it has worked, but too many players look like they don’t know the system they’re playing. Done in particular has looked completely off the pace- I’d move him on if possible.
We have such little quality in the final third, it’s all too well being patient in creating space but when we get that space we need to be effective. McGahey and N’Lthe won’t offer us any quality from wide positions.
McGahey playing like a centre back at right back, Delaney playing like he’s completely out of confidence and we’ve got very little options from the bench. I still do want Hill in, but things have to change. |  | | |

Posted in the squad thread, this was the team that sent us 4th winning at Walsall two years ago:
Logan
Rafferty
Keane
McNulty
Bunney
Rathbone
Lund
Camps
Thompson
Andrew
Henderson
There’s nothing spectacular about that line-up but they all had a clear plan and those that came into it knew it as well. This has nothing to do with quality, it’s about a muddled quantity leading to an absence of consistency and players appearing and disappearing and their confidence ebbing away as it carries on. | |

That is just what i have said, regarding the youth players, they will be seeing their fellow proffesionals at rock bottom... Cant be a good changing room... | | | |

I think Norman will probably get the blame for their free kick because he’s very tall. HilLogic will blame him for the first too, because he’s very tall. | | | |

That's 50 goals conceded so far this season in the league the second worst in the Division behind Scunthorpe on 51. It's fairly obvious where the real problem lies. If you can't defend, it's hard to win. |  | | |

The bigger question is - why? Why did this start to happen? Right this minute isn't the time for answers, but they must be sought from within the club or we're sunk | |
