    There seems to be a bit of a player manager issue. Has he peeeed people off?

    Even though we played against 10 men last week the lad Walker looked a class above the rest of our midfield players and rightly won MOTM but today he was as poor as the rest, as a team we looked lost with regards that formation we were supposed to play no one seemed to know where they were playing.

    I rate them in matches I have seen. One game at chesterfield a while ago if we had won we may have stayed up. We were utter dog shittte. Another game at gillingham were it’s the only time I have seen our away crowd boo a goal from us cadimarsbar….. that was shite. Or I can go on but fancy a peroni so I am off. Cheer up lads summer soon.

    I saw little to suggest Watt was pulling the strings in midfield as I posted once again he couldn't make a simple 4/5 yard pass and almost lost us a goal with his sloppy play in midfield when he lost the ball.

    You’d have to ask Adams about formations imo first half before Watt went off we looked comfortable but clueless on how to break them down, as we have everytime Angol has started as a lone striker. But the game then changed and Rochdale changed from playing on the counter and got in our faces and we looked all at sea. Imo we need to bring a striker in who can make the ball stick up top before anything else as unless we get a shot away we lose the ball cheaply and teams pass through us at will.

    It was a bad performance with the blame at Adams door but could have been worse without the wonderful save by Hornby in the last few minutes, Not many would have stopped that free kick

    Given how disappointing the game was (again), then how was the day out in Rochdale?

    Any views on the pre match pint or two @Doodle@Doodle & @QCFC BANTAM@QCFC BANTAM?

    Anybody else try any of Rochdales watering holes.

    Rating for the drink/price/ambience?

    Taxi or walk?

    It's what we do as a club these days, bring in players but with no strategy.of where they are going to fit into the side.

    We certainly bossed the first 10 minutes or so but when Watt lost the ball in midfield and they broke and should have scored they were the better side we seemed to lose momentum and their tails went up.
    As you say we seem to have opposition managers who can see things need changing and have a plan B for want of a better expression, you have ask why doesn't Adams and makes comments like he did with regards Watts injury.

    Exactly. Today you could argue that we had four players who consider themselves a 10, Daly, Walker, Cooke and, arguably, Gilliead. And there was always three of them on the pitch.

    Threlkeld is a true gift to the other team, Is probably the worst full back in the clubs history, How Adams can continually pick him when the opposition realise quickly how bad he is and target that side with a winger only Adams knows,

    Tbf they had less shots than us first half 3 I believe to our 5, so I don’t think their tails were up but they definitely were second half. Regarding plan B I think that’s what we did bringing Cook on and going 3 at the back it was just the wrong plan, but nobody can say Adams didn’t try change it as we played about 4 formations which probably caused a lot of the confusion second half.

    Eh?

    It was a decent stop but if that goes in he might aswell say goodbye to a career in proffesional football.

    It was close to the centre for the goal. A nice save but one of those that he gets pelters if he lets it in. Sometimes it’s best people watch moments back before commenting or at least watch them once…
