Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Thought we did quite well for first 25 minutes. All fallen apart since. You need the luck to go with you when you are the underdogs and it has deserted us today.
With hindsight playing Atkinson at centre half has not worked today. Also surprised to see Reid on ahead of Holness. Perhaps AA does show too much loyalty to the ex Blyth contingent.

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
I disagree with luck. They had 2 offsides which should not have been.
Re: Away to Bristol rovers
This is bloody shambolic
Re: Away to Bristol rovers
I know we're lower tier, but that means you bloody play like it. Dig in, graft, make it hard.

That was not a penalty
Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Pretty soft penalty, that.

Seen them given didn't expect it given the scoreline mind.

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Pretty tame exit this. All I can say is we have to dust ourselves down and concentrate on the league.... and hope Bristol Rovers don't pull Man City or Liverpool tomorrow.

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
This is horrific.
I dream of Darlo getting a top premier league team in the cup one day but if we played like this can you imagine.

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
More worried about the game against Gateshead and how much this game will hit our confidence.AA should know his best team and formation so now is the time to play it.

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
It would be double figures if we played a premier league team, it still might be today. Their heads have totally dropped.

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
At times we are playing some really nice stuff & knocking the ball around really well, just some poor defending is letting us down.
Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Things are slowly getting back to normal a booking for Wheatley!
Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Is there any point. Chances of it making a difference are slim. The odds were they would comfortably beat us.
Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Our defence looks so leggy

Commentator must be getting bored now as he is repeating his stat about Craig and Ben Liddle. We got it the first time thanks

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Clutching at positive straws, the game has allowed Hunt, McMahon and Holness some game time.

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Rovers down to ten men, thank God.
Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Saltmer clearly called "Johnny's" as he came out ahead of their first goal - whether he'd have got their or not who knows but he did the right thing coming for it.
Not sure what Campbell was doing for their second, didn't seem to make any effort to get goal side of his man and ran outside him instead of getting himself between the man and the goal.
After that heads just dropped all over. Charman looked isolated. Wheatley has done well and Holness has looked bright since coming on. Otherwise just outplayed by a much better side. Disappointing lack of fight after we went behind though, heads dropped much too quickly.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
Absolutely there is a point. Cant keep selecting the wrong players in the wrong positions and expect to do well. Hunt and storey formed a decent partnership earlier in the season, I’m not saying we would have done any better by having them both in, but surely we couldn’t have done any worse

Re: Away to Bristol rovers
No cup distraction now so might as well, although fixture congestion and rotation could disrupt that. Just annoying that we've put in a limp performance today. First 30 mins more than matched them, one mistake and for whatever reason we have capitulated dreadfully.QUAKERMAN2 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 3:00 pmMore worried about the game against Gateshead and how much this game will hit our confidence.AA should know his best team and formation so now is the time to play it.
