First goal Maher should have got there when the ball was loose early on and the defence was all over the place. Great finish though.

Second goal given the ball away very cheaply in the midfield, Smith beaten way too easily and Maher lets Ironside get across him.

Third goal the tracking or lack of from Eisa is criminal. Absolutely pathetic.

Fourth goal a complete mess defensively, all over the shop.

Fifth goal terrible goalkeeping, should have been saved.

We are really bad.

The reason Clifton was running back so quickly was because it was his sloppy pass that started the trouble.

Andrews then did his customary big, wet fänny impression by Eastwooding out of a challenge he was 90:10 in favour of winning (not for the first time this season).

To Clifton’s credit, at least he bothered to make an effort to get back after his error, unlike Andrews who was prancing around like the knitted scarf he is, and whichever other vapid waste of skin was supposed to be in our midfield.

Then Clifton tries to clobber Adelakun and Maher gets bullied for his change in the dinner queue.


Yep, I'm with that. My point is that our so called defenders had several yards start on Clifton but were failing to get near the man.

Agreed. It’s also our non-existent midfield who just go through the motions.

What is the point of Green?

I was excited when we signed him. I thought he was the sort of dogged DCM who would do the dirty work, win the ball back and then play a simple pass.

Initially I thought he wasn’t 100% fit but then we seemed to play him as the most attacking of the midfield three in his first couple of months.

Given Green’s limited abilities on the ball, why is he often caught so far ahead of it on transition.

Doncaster’s first goal, Green should be in front of the back four protecting it and filling the space. Why is he so far forward and then lumbering back like his CPU has short-circuited?

Does our keeper ever save a shot he should of saved at least two of them not good enough for me.
And our tackling omg we are nailed on for relegation


I think Cartwright has avoided taking too much blame because he is a young keeper learning his trade with that defence, but why the hell has he been put in thatposition? That aside, he doesn't look nearly ready for first team football and all the efforts on goal just sail past him.

The biggest thing we could do is find a free agent keeper who has been round the block a bit to give a bit of maturity back there, if we could find anybody that would put themselves in the firing line.

Other than the last one, I don't think Cartwright had a chance with any of the goals - and it was really rubbish defensive play from Smith that allowed their player to easily cut in on his right foot. He should have been sent down the line.

I don't think Cartwright is too bad, but the shocking defence in front of him doesn't really give him a chance.

For some reason, teams have been absolutely clinical against us this year. Donny had 4 shots on target yesterday and scored 5 and Tranmere had one shot on target and scored twice! Stockport scored with 3 out of 4 shots on target, Walsall scored 6 from 7 on target.

It's ridiculously accurate finishing from the opposition at the moment and I just hope our luck changes because we don't look to be good enough to change it around ourselves.

Yes the keeper saves nothing if it’s on target it’s in.
I know our defence is awful but he has to save the odd one, the second yesterday went in just over his head nowhere near the corner most keepers would of turned that over the bar as for the 5th goal well basic shot should be saved.

If you get a shot on target basically you score against us , the young keeper shouldn’t be in this position I don’t blame him but it’s time he was taken out of the firing line.

The first position Artell should of addressed was the keeper .neither are good enough. Cartwright would’ve ok as a back up though .

Usually the individual errors stand out quite obviously. Maher/Cartwright and Clifton/Gnahoa last week. Their attack looked pretty good and their wing play was quite impressive. The quality of league 2 is much higher than it ever used to be. We maybe are throwing too many forward and leaving ourselves exposed, but the counters are very quick, very accurate and quite lethal.


No one tracked their players arriving at the edge of the box for the first. The second we put in two challenges that were weaker than p1ss. The third - acres of space again down our left and  was after Tharme had been dispossessed way out of position

No words for what came after that.
