Match Thread Rochdale (a) - tickets and match thread

The Players have no excuse as Adams quite clearly showed them his master game plan in detail

 

Fair play, it was a really good save from what was an excellent first time shot. Kept us in it.

 

I thought we looked very good down the right last week once Sutton went to RB and was convinced DA would play him there todat to accommodate Daley. But then prematch Morais said he'd ben talking be peole who basically said Daley is a talent but doesn't get stuck in or like a tackle. Like someone said earlier, do we really need another no 10

 

Absolute snore fest. Terrible performance and terrible result.

Team selection all wrong. Cook needs to start if he's fit enough because Angol is never a target man in a million years. Daly hung out to dry on his debut being played out of position. Why he was chosen to play LW over Angol and Vernam is anyone's guess. Threlkeld absolutely dire as usual and together with Gilliead, they must be one of the weakest right sides in the division.

Performance wise it was unbelievably disjointed and lacking in any sort of intensity and creativity. Hornby sitting on the ball at 0-0 instead of distributing the ball quickly said it all about Adams' approach to the game.

2.5k supporters, outnumbering the home side and he has us playing like the underdogs against a poor side. He isn't managing in front of 10 men and a dog at Morecambe anymore, when will he realise.

 

The one first half are you talking about? That was a very good save Trevor was talking about the free kick at the end worth watching back if anyone thinks that was a fantastic save, very much one for the camera.

 

What I mean with regards their tails being up was that until the mistake by Watt (that they should have scored from) we were the only team on the park, be that because as you say they were happy to let us have the ball or not, once they got their first shot on goal their confidence grew.
As I posted earlier the lad Newby was different class when he was brought on, glad he wasn't on from the start.

 

Seriously? What with wasted balls, simply passes giving up possession

Better save first half, down to his right?

 

Yes I don’t know why he didn’t start, he was the best player on the park when he came on. We have players like him though but other teams don’t give them the space we have him. Probably doesn’t perform like that every week is why he was on the bench. Forget tactics and everything for a minute we are nowhere near aggressive enough. A Parky team would never have let him walk around like he owned the place.

 

The same Adams who plays Gillead week in week out says we missed Watts
Just proves he is poor manager
Getting to the stage I'd rather Trueman was in charge

 

Yeah my apologies if I got it wrong in translation. It was the first half save which is a belter.

 

That’s very kind of you @Bronco if I don’t get one I’ll take it off you for double face value and buy you a pint.

 

You're very strange Trev.

Try having an opinion on the actual performance of the players rather than everything you type being purely agenda led.

It usually helps to stop you looking as much of a plonker.

 

Just to totally piss everyone off who attended todays game at Rochdale, who remembers todays date back in 2013, coming back to Bradford on a massive high after getting a result at Villa Park to take us to Wembley .

 

We’ve seen ROD play dozens upon dozens upon dozens of times. He’s utter garbage and not professional standard, hence why he always gets relegated.

 

Unexpectedly met some other Queensbury Bantams and went to the Eagle Hotel to start with...got special dispensation from the landlady to go in with my youngest (14, but they had a NO KIDS sign on the door!!). Sam Smiths, beer good but 10 in there, 8 of us from Queensbury!!! Then wandered up into the town centre and came to The Regal Moon so went in there for a few. Decent enough atmosphere, full of City fans and loads of people I knew so good for a couple of hours. Got a taxi, 4 of us and was £5...booked it back to the station after the game as well!! Another decent day out, shame about the football!!

 

Around 300 career appearances and he's "not professional standard"?

Think your hat must have been a bit tight today m9, it seems to have affected your brain.

 

That sums up most saturdays..

 

He won't because he's a poor manager living off his mediocre past reputation

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's actually only been relegated once while he's been first choice keeper, and that was with us.

He only played 12 times when Rotherham get relegated in 2017, although he had played more games for Bristol City that season in the Championship.

The other team he got relegated with was Wednesday, and he was a rookie keeper and didn't play.

So "once" is an interesting criteria for "always", ie, every season.
