Rochdale v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 20.04.21

What a disgraceful performance . Passing it around at the back for the majority achieving the square root of fuck all . Crossing has been wank . Their keeper has had nothing to do . And worse of all critchley has done nothing about it. Shocking
 
There’s a few that have been waiting for a gash performance like this for 16 games.
Meaning back in their lives again, chance to vent and slate every player.
We’ve been poor tonight but still a play off team snd still we never give up trying until the final whistle.
Dusty wizzels. One poor performance doesn’t mean we are a bad team or badly coached

Anyhow - vent away. Get it off your chests.
It’s been poor
 
Not one of our players has had a good game.

The superfans will be on later saying how we aren't entitled to win every game borin blah blah blah.

We should expect better than this. A painful evening and those talking about Wembley and promotions should have a reality check. We need a lot lot better to make those playoffs.

How very true!
 
not a promotion winning team . Too few options in the squad available now to influence games. Backward passing tactics are embarrassing.
 
We have looked completely knackered tonight, they were second to everything. A horrible fixture against a team who were desperate for the points. We need some players back to change things because if we don't we won't have the legs to be at our best in the play offs.

Very disappointing, a really poor performance but we have to move on and do better.
 
Beat Sunderland Neil says big win
this to me is a big defeat , good runs have to come to end I suppose
I am getting concerned thou pool are relying to much on top two to score our goals

Nothing disgraceful about that performance whatsoever.

In all honesty Pool are just a workmanlike unit with no creativity or goals from midfield.
 
Been coming this for the last few games now we’ve scraped though not being beat but tonight luck deserted us.
Obviously the team scrapping for league 1 survival wanted it more.
Very disappointing yet again.
 
That was very poor. The lack of initiative, the quality of the passing and the tempo was poor for 80 minutes. Injuries and fatigue are obviously having an impact and we’re not entitled to win anything, but I think we are entitled to see a gutsy performance and a team of players fighting for the shirt. They weren’t doing that tonight and I think a few players are a bit too comfortable knowing they’re going to start due to injuries and a lack of competition.
 
That was poor obvs. Not the end of the world tho. But what's worrying for me is that the last half of consistently good football we played was first half v Lincoln. Let's hope Critch can sort it or my ringer will be squeaky for the next month.

He gave Brad Holmes 4 minutes of normal time..... apart from that recycled the same old subs, to be fair we dont have much else but Holmes earlier would have been better.

Utter shite tonight, still in a great position in the league, with games in hand on below, but that was crap.
 
that was shit, probably as bad as ive seen us year to be honest. we just look completely out of sorts.
we were going to have a bad game sooner or later. so get it out of the way.

c'est la vie
roll on saturday
 
A win tonight would have virtually written Portsmouth and Oxford out of the equation or given us more breathing g space.
As it is now, we are walking a tightrope.
 
Just one of those nights. We were bound to lose at least one more this season so there it is. Oxford and Portsmouth both lost so same gap to 7th place.

Go again on Saturday. This might mean a change in shape or personnel at the weekend which might be no bad thing.

I agree! It's done now we move on!
UTMP!
Let's bounce back vs Shrewsbury!
 
Another game chalked off and Portsmouth and Oxford both losing means we are marginally better off.
 
We have to improve on shooting, always hits a defender, final ball was abysmal tonight, we spend minutes working it forward then hesitate dont try something and go all the way back only to go long and lose it.

Happened far too much tonight.

Yates nonexistent again for a few games now really, needs a rest imo but we have no one else.

Said a while back lack of players may cost us, still think we get to the playoffs but am worried about the lack of options.

Robson comes on and does fuck all, tbf hes never given long but has not impressed.

Frustrating night.

He’s not been the difference at all. He has moments of brilliance that’s true. But the rest of the time he does nothing. We can’t afford him to do nothing and show up for 10 minutes every other game.

- 2nd highest goal tally behind Yates at the club
- Highest assist tally at the club
- Has scored 3 winning goals
- Has scored 2 goals which salvaged a draw
- Has 3 winning assists

Without those goals and assists you can knock 14 points off our tally, that is 6 wins into draws and 2 draws into losses without Kaikai's influence..

If that is stealing a living then I don't know what some of our other players are doing. I'm all for criticism when a player has had a bad game but our first loss since February and we're back to ripping them to shreds.
 
I feared this result tonight, a game too far against a bottom 4 scrapper, we seem to be running out of steam just at the wrong time.

It's an off night, deal with it, we aren't shite, Critch isn't shite, its the first defeat in 16 games, 16 GAMES! OK, we were poor, it happens, ask Oxford and Ipswich, I'd still rather be where we are.
