| Forum Reply | Chorley (A) Match Thread - Pre-Season Friendly at 22:26 15 Jul 2023
I was there today and putting it into perspective it was a pre season friendly. However apart from being impressed with a couple of Chorley players,Tyrese Sinclair Trialist A & Dos Santos it was a terrible game to watch. I'm trying to tell myself that pre season is about getting minutes into the players legs but we should be starting to see patterns of play and partnerships forming,? I sat in the seat directly in front James Ball & his girlfriend so that was another positive for me today, not the fact I was sat near him but the fact that he was not on the pitch or in the squad In all fairness Chorley looked a very decent outfit and I wish them a the best this season |

I know this is going to be hard given the current status quo but we really need to put every effort in getting behind whatever team is on that pitch on Saturday for the 90 minutes. The overcoaters have created some Fantastic atmospheres this season inside the ground and it’s been great to see and hear! Yes things are not great! Yes we are all fed up with the lack of signings that we all know are desperately needed whilst our rivals are bringing players in daily! yes there have been baffling team selections/substitutions, and many many below par performances from this squad of players but this is our club one which has in the past given us some Fantastic memories currently sitting rock bottom with a squad devoid of any kind of confidence worry wether they are worthy of our support after the game, but on Saturday, for just 90 minutes we need to come together and get behind them! our opinions and frustrations can be aired at the upcoming fans forum, A toxic atmosphere (which mostly I agree with on every social platform is already ingrained) on Saturday this will inevitably transfer onto the pitch and result in a defeat. Nobody wants that! I know it’s crap it hurts and we are all worried about the future of our club but a toxic atmosphere in the COA on Saturday will not help our plight one bit! Guaranteed it will affect the players (deservedly or not) and put us deeper in the shit! UTD 🙠|

Much better performance today, Especially first half. It was a shame Kelly lost his footing when played in by Lloyd just after our first if that goes in we win the game imo. Kelly & Lloyd both brilliant today Quigley & Ball as said already I halve feel sorry for ball but the lad just ain’t good enough how he gets in the team I will never know surely EBJ isn’t blind to his sub par performances? Quigley was superb at Carlisle in his first game, he has obviously got the quality as his career has proven so how he can be so bad is beyond me! Apart from these two I think everyone else had a decent game maybe there is hope! |

The attempted clearance/toe poke from John just before the free kick was the real reason there was any tackle to make by Kelly |

After the chairmans update on the club, especially the financial situation and after The Boxing Day shambles this squad of “players” should be knocking on the chairmans door and forfeiting any wages until they can put in any kind of a performance that deserves being payed a wage for! They Need to understand they got us into this mess with consistent sub par performances individually and collectively, they get praised when they do well and take the plaudits but don’t like it when criticism is aimed at them! As we fear for the very least existence of our football club this lot take the money and give us nothing in return, no pride no effort no desire nothing I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed going to a game. It’s become a chore there is nothing to like about this squad of “players” at all, misplaced passes, long balls to nothing, constant lazy offsides, slow throw ins and set pieces, no end product, horrendous first touches and finishing, not tracking back, missing headers, it’s crap! I’ve seen better on bowlee and figrove and this lot are supposed to be professional footballers Robbie Stockdale put this shambles together so yes in part he is to blame but this lot need to get there heads out of their arses stop feeling sorry for themselves and start to realise that it’s their responsibility to earn their own f@@@ing wages, put some effort in show some desire |

Wow that was awful! So bad EBJ sent Nick Chadwick out to do the post match interview! I cannot remember such a weak set of players turning out for the club! We have players pulling out of tackles they are jumping for headers but not challenging to actually win the header, it’s garbage |

He looks very good seemed to be involved in most of the highlights I’ve seen of the game against Scunthorpe |

Give it a rest! That was the best performance for a long long time! Never going to have it all your own way for 90 mins that’s just football, we did what was required we got the three points. I agree about the corners and in general our set plays, But can you really fault RS tactics tonight after a 2-0 win? We got stuck in we seen the players running themselves into the ground, we did the basics right defended well and put the ball in the net twice. Something us fans have not seen at least for the last 6 matches |

Unreal....Oh to be a Dale fan I find it very hard to believe that a manager would pick any player that does not care or try when they are on the pitch , Having played football at a very low level i can honestly say i never once went on the pitch and didn't care or try or want to win but i can remember countless times i played crap but never on purpose Does anybody honestly believe that any of these players dont care? Stockdale came into the Job with very little time and into a club in turmoil from top to bottom, the players all believed BBM would be there and they were left high and dry when he left (O'Connell being just one) and Stockdale had to pick up the pieces of a squad who had been playing with no confidence and accused of not trying for at least 2 seasons, He has brought in a few quality players but the rot has set in with the majority of this squad and its going to take time to get rid of it. The reality is we are in a transition period both on and off the Pitch League two football next season is a must and all that matters! it seems to me the Rot has also set in with the supporters too. Maybe we need to try and support this manager and these players? Boo's, moans and groans, criticism, accusations of no effort its all very toxic and it transfers onto the pitch? Some fans need a reality check....Clueless? Aye UP THE DALE [Post edited 16 Nov 2021 21:28]

What has max Taylor done wrong? For me alongside o’connell He was one of the stand out performers during our recent winning run! Then dropped for our last two defeats? If he is carrying an injury fair enough but there has been no mention of him being injured Dorset and graham for me are nowhere near as good [Post edited 2 Oct 2021 21:31]

Listening on Sunderland fan tv on YouTube and tbf it’s very good commentary no bias but they are saying the same things about us that we have been saying for years, that’s how obvious our problems are 3 makems have sussed us in 45 minutes |
