I think you may well see a game today where not a single tackle is made by us in midfield. I hope Madine and Madison can work some magic, but I sense a big defeat.

Dreadful marking by who ever was stood by the goal scorer. Other end of the pitch and couldn't see who put the non challenge in

1-0 Donny

Ffs. Still not cleansheets in the league without Reda Johnson...

Good start that missed training session yesterday

 

[Nick]

Far post header, 2nd minute.

Get Jackson on and fucking go for it.

 

[chiefdave]

Cracking start :facepalm:

Well we certainly didn't put up any defence to try and stop that goal...... (Couldn't quite 'tackle' a header but same principle )

Started watching MU v Newcastle. Decided to turn radio on and TV off. Bad decision.

I remember the days when match threads were huge. Ten minutes in, and about a half-dozen posts (excluding the pre-match predictions). Says it all, really.

Doncaster have only won once at home this season so far

 

[skybluepm2]

I know there are still 88 minutes remaining but FUCKING HELL! And why bring fucking Finch in? Dreadful player. No Jackson or Swanson?

What is he, 18? And he's already a dreadful player!

It's the same on twitter, even people who don't go to games are losing interest.

Both on the bench!

 

[ccfcway]

Interesting position for Fleck today. Out on the left wing,

Maddison books for diving again

 

[chiefdave]

What a surprise, Maddison goes down and we don't get a pen.

 

[ccfcway]

Coventry City@Coventry_City
12 - City have penalty appeal turned down! Maddison booked for diving but there looked to be contact! 1-0 #PUSB

 

[Nick]

Maddison booked for diving.

Isn't this his second so far this season for that?

Anybody there who saw it? sw?

 

[Nick]

Maddison books for diving again

How did it look?

 

[sw88]

Does Maddison go down because e think he'll get the ball everytime? For free kicks he seems to want them all, but I think penalties would be very very different (with OBrien around anyway after the Reda saga)

 

[sw88]

How did it look?

Unconvincing, ref right on the spot

 

[sw88]

Only him and OBrien really called for it, and challenged refs decision which is usually what OBrien does for everything anyway

 

[shy_tall_knight]

Yes fleck will lure the opposition RB into a false sense of security, as he is soooooooo slow their RB will become complacent and when Jackson comes on in the second half he will burn past the RB.

A midfield of Finch barton JOB & Fleck has limited creativity and virtually no goal threat - please prove me wrong by all scoring

 

[kg82]

Just out of interest, how many league pens have we had this year?

 

[skybluepm2]

What is he, 18? And he's already a dreadful player!

At the age of 18 yes he is a dreadful player. Are we not allowed to be critical because he's just out of nappies and from the academy. Sorry for having a fucking opinion.

Barton scored the last time we played Doncaster away although I do agree with you.

 

[sw88]

Maddison this time wins a free kick after legs taken, both CB's come forward but we take it short just as they pass where the ball is. We end up playing it back to Allsopp :facepalm:

 

[skybluepm2]

I think they should both be starting. Two youth teamers in the midfield away from home doesn't fill me with too much confidence. That said Maddison is a potential game changer.

Coventry City@Coventry_City
17 - City have looked the better side since going a goal down early on. Keeping the ball nicely, nothing of note apart from PK claim though.

Just the first two names show how negative our midfield tactic-wise is

No, have an opinion, but how about giving the lad more time than a handful of games, most of which played out of position. I forgot we were now a country of instant results. I don't disagree about having Swanson or Jackson in by the way.

 

[Nick]

I just don't see why he is playing 2 in front of the defence. Maybe yes we have 1 sitting there and another doing the link up with strikers.
