Don't panic lads. We're only 3 points off 10th place.

What an abject performance so far. Nobody comes out with any real credit. Need an Almighty kick up the arse to have any hope.

Every cross they put in threatens. Every corner we take finds the defender and is cleared.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Worst half by a country mile this season. Shocking from Dabo and McFadzean, there’s a time and a place to play out from the back. Got bullied from start to finish.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Lol... 61.1% possession for us.... getting the ball out of our own net.

 

[SkyBlueDog]

We've completely lost the midfield battle there. Can't cope with the high press at all. Kastaneer the only one who looks likely to do anything positive

 

[chiefdave]

Going to be a tough task to turn this around. They can just shut up shop if we start pressing and we don't have many options on the bench in terms of potential game changers.

 

[Evo1883]

Mason a yard off the pace, Walsh out of his depth today, mcfadzean sloppy again, Shipley pointless half, same goes for Hiwula, godden absolutely nothing to work with, Dabo needs to wake up a bit

Just an atrocious 45

 

[Liquid Gold]

We have to go 4231 2nd half

 

[peace ndlovu]

A rabbit in the headlights performance. We were far toe easily dispossessed in that half. They’re not amazing - just quicker, stronger and ready to exploit any error

 

[hill83]

Love how Godden always get a ‘nothing to work with’ pass. What has come near him he’s done something once.

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

Generally poor. O'Hare is flickering though and Mason playing well. Kastaneer has done a few surprisingly good things too.

Marosi and McFadzean are giving chances - and goals - away hand over fist - the second today was a carbon copy of last week's mistake. I've been having the old kittens all season with these two and today has been a condensation of their worst tendencies.

Will they not stop playing those suicidal passes around their area or is it in their contracts?

Dabo and Walsh have been giving it away too as well, for a bit of variety.

I was with you until your comment about Kastaneer.
He's been dogshit

Ok godden has nothing to work with and was shit...

 

[hill83]

better

but at some point he’s got to start making things happen for himself. Hiwula gets slated for misses, but he gets a shit load more chances than Godden. It’s not by accident.

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

Marosi, McFadzean and Dabo terrible

Walsh and Shipley poor

Mason, O'Hare and Kastaneer about the only ones to come out of that with any credit

I just posted after you and said more or less the same thing

Disagree. Some decent crosses and at least trying to be creative. More than anyone else has done

 

[Evo1883]

better

We do need to start getting the ball to his feet in an around the box though, it just doesn't happen

 

[Alkhen]

Blimey some of the reactionary bollocks posted above is astounding. 1 bad half and players are "terrible footballers"

Embarrassing

 

[Paxman II]

Rotherham closing down in two's on our players and targeting our full backs. Mason is making a fist of it but Dabo is having a mare of his own half the time. They have targeted O'Hare, he needs to find a way to shake that off.
We must deal with their agressive play, and play our own game. Still think we look a little shaky at the back though. Is Walsh protecting them enough? Mc.Fazdean looks like he has a mistake in him again for me. A scrappy game that we still have 60% of the ball. Godden not getting anything from their centre backs. I'm confident we have it in us to come back if we find our feet in the second half. Don't think MR will be pleased with the way we given away those goals.

I think its fair to say that as an abysmal half, people are rightly pissed off with that showing

You not wrong there. Dreadful half. Morosi got to leave his line. Back four been off pace. Midfield non existent and up front not even getting in front of their defence.

Quick question to the experts on here. Connor Jennings (probably Tranmere's best player) has got 2 yellows (sent off ) today. Will that mean he's out against us on Sunday (Tranmere have a game against Villa U23s in the Mickey Mouse Cup midweek, so wasn't sure if the one match ban counts for that game, or against us?)

 

[clint van damme]

Trying to single out individual players for criticism is futile. They've all been shit.

Let's hope for a barnstorming 2nd half.
And who's the c**t who's got the kiosks closed by stealing beer? Got to admit to a sneaking admiration

 

[Sick Boy]

We are looking likeweight and getting bullied off the ball

 

[ccfcway]

this is the worst ccfc team in last 40 years according to text on cwr !

 

[Ricketts]

Rotherham are a very big, physical side and we aren't getting anything from the ref, despite what the ifollow commentators think.

Keep playing our proper football and it will come.

 

[larry_david]

Agreed. We look like we've won a completion to play today. Absolutely dreadful from all concerned

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Come on City - let's not feel sorry for ourselves - a free hit for us in the seconfd half. Have a go, and if we can't turn it around, beat the heck out of Tranmere next week (not counting forest green game!)

Mason cost us a goal (aided and abetted by Marosi).
Arguing over who has been worse out of him and Dabo is futile. They've both been shit along with everyone else

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Not a single shot on target. The first 5mins you could tell we were all over the shop.

You can't steal beer. It's a god given beverage that is free for all to plunder!

That's what I keep telling the Tesco security men anyway.

 

[Magwitch]

Remember Rotherham are a good team, better than their league position suggests but we can come back from this, we have become a good second half team.

Haha! What do you tell the magistrate?!

 

[Johhny Blue]

2 quick goals from Kastaneer and then when he's Knackered Baka to come on and score the winner

 

[hill83]

Even then. Godden hides at the back post ready for a cross, get front post. You aren’t winning a header against a bloke twice your height.

only being critical because everyone else sucks him off
