Yes, holding his inner thigh behind his knee, could have felt a twinge though and maybe a precaution


Wilson is an absolute liability ... Embarrassing fall to try and make it look a foul... Just not good enough and he's costing us goals consistently

Our defending is atrocious. We've managed to drag Flint down to our level as well now.

That second goal again supports the argument that we just aren’t set up to prevent chances being given up. One pass and we’re miles away from each other.

Like EEL, I’m now of the belief he can only be used in a three. Hasn’t got the legs to deal with situations like that second goal.

Can’t believe we didn’t try the back three and wingbacks in a game like this. As it is, all we’ve done is confirm how we leave so much space all over the pitch with players too wide or too high.

He is truly awful.

The back line this season vs last is absolutely laughable.

Including the keeper three out of those who finished the season are starting in League One.

Absolutely but that’s as much about what we have brought in than what we have lost.

In other news, another 3 goals shipped. I know it’s the milk cup but how long can we endure this sort of punishment?

The basics of defending this half are as bad as you’ll see. With three of the current back four all out there.

Make that 4.

Sorry but he has to go.

I don’t care what the occasion is, enough is enough.

We've conceded 24 goals in our last 7 games. Diabolical levels of defending.

Unfortunately a game many would have written off as being pretty meaningless in the bigger picture has managed to have a bigger negative impact than any could have predicted.

We played the second 45 with our current keeper, 3 of the back 4, 3 first team midfielders and Hayes.

Despite that we were not only beaten comprehensively, it was in a manner that was very alarming.

Sunday league levels in the second half - and after the introduction of three regular starters at half time. It's getting really desperate.

How many times this season have we said, “That is as bad a 45 minutes as I can ever remember?”

I think that second half tops the lot tonight.

We are in serious do-do and going down with Watson in charge.

Let’s just hope the board can see it too.

Another really poor performance against Doncaster Rovers reserves. 1-4 is probably a fair reflection of the difference between the sides. We are miles off being an effective outfit.

Inept weak defending, overrun in midfield and other than Hendo toothless up front. Some of the players treating the game like a practice match. Can't really think of any obvious plus points and we await injury news.

Our XG for much of the second half was zero. Even Hayes and Middleton look as if they have lost their mojo since arriving at the club.

The reaction of some of the younger players after conceding the third and the fourth goals was informative. They looked shattered and devoid of fighting spirit.

If we loose on Saturday in the same manner I don't see that there can be any doubt about what the Board need to do.

Can we just ask one question here….

Are the players making it clear? Is this them helping force the decision? Or are we really just dreadful?

IW looks to have lost the dressing room as well as the plot. Wonder what the post match interview will reveal if anything.

Could Hendo take over for a couple of games before a more experienced hand could be found? We may get a bit of a dead cat bounce.

I agree. Really feel for Watson, he’s obviously doing his best whilst trying to stick to his processes. It’s also worth noting that some players could be doing a lot more too.

Such a shame for Hendo too

He's had some great highs at Dale. Tonight must rank as one of the lows on the pitch, even with another goal to his tally

After the 3 subs introduced at half time we went backwards... Flint slower than a mobility scooter and Wilson Bambi on ice. 1st Teamers didn't look arsed including Hayes who kept running with his head down and losing the ball ... Midfield missing again.
Definite lack of confidence, very worrying to be fair
