How frustrating watching that

We haven't got a subs bench for the thousandth time as you'd normally stack it with attack minded players who can change games with a couple of defenders and yet again we have four defenders,a defensive mid and a youth striker as back up which you can change fuck all with.
 
We played how we did at the begining of the season.
Yes I was thinking the same myself whilst watching........... Whatever that was
When we had the opportunity to get the ball to the front 2, we either opted to go backwards or the final ball was very poor. Yes we looked tired but that doesn't explain the poor (and slow) passing

We looked shit.

We should be no more tired than any other team in the league.
That’s not entirely true, we were much further behind most teams with games in hand. Think there was only Lincoln who were the same as us and had no dates left to resechdule games.

Also we’ve had more injuries than most to key players, which means we haven’t been able to rotate and keep the team ticking over.
 
Squad depth is good but the number of injuries we’ve had is starting to show, these players have played a huge amount of football, most of them full games, for 4 months and have done us proud.

We’d benefit hugely from getting some quality back (Madine, Stewart, Anderson, Ekpiteta) to supplement the squad and give some of our spine a rest.

Still in our hands though. Points on the board, good goal difference and games in hand. Let’s keep positive, the players deserve that much!
 
Everything about that game screamed earlier in the season. Had a real end of December/January vibe to it, even the lack of substitutes when needed!

I am flabbergasted we've reverted to the 4-4-2, we are superior in every way except maybe defensively when we play 4-2-3-1.

Think that's unfair after a long unbeaten run. We've played a lot of games to catch up and the injuries mean the bench is small. Games like tonight happen.
 
So frustrated and disappointed.

Kai kai... ffs... he is the most frustrating player ever.

Gutted without doubt as top2 was there for taking.. but back pass x20 won't achieve results. We need to use our attacking players quickly.. jeez I'm so peeved off
 
Ward. KaiKai and Garbutt each had their worst game for a while. Embleton was also shocking first half. He should have changed it at 60 mins like he intended.
A game best forgotten and the 3 points won't do Rochdale any good because the current bottom 4 will all get relegated.
 
Sunderland, Lincoln and Charlton won't play like that. We'll have more space to express ourselves. I think we'll win the play offs, we just have to get into them.
