This wankfest over connell has to stop. Top of the league and we are booing decisions? Murray and Connell were both shit today and both rightly subbed.

Not sure he is the answer. Is De Vita? Is Tehoue? |

Connell and Murray were both shit today.
Would like to see Benson and Storey up front next game, think Benson's hold up skills and Storeys pace would be a good match IMO

Dissapointing result. Back four solid, McEveley was very good defensively as were the centre backs. Smith was energetic in the middle and until the last half hour, used the ball very well.
Going forward, it just didn't click. There was not one spell where we had concerted pressure, we lacked penetration, but Rovers sat deep and defended well. Connell should have scored - but to bring him off impulsively when he miscontrolled in front of the Town End was wrong. We missed his link play after that. Benson was off colour, Murray was Murray... if we don't have Tehoue then we need Bodin back.
They came for a draw and got it. We need to get all 3 on Tuesday.

We played well today I thought, the back four were solid all game, the midfield played well. we really need an austin/cox/parkin type up front to put away those chances. the ref and the lino were absolute dogshit today. but it could've been worse. still top of the league and going up as fucking champions

- Strange game
- If we'd got one we would have got more
- They increased in confidence as game went on and we were glad to get a draw in the end
- Connell's chance wasnt easy as he was of balance
- Didn't really create much in the end
- Found it frustrating in not being able to break them down
- Other results went in our favour. Should still be happy
- Back training with strikers as from Thursday. Strange at first
- At moment its likely he will be played as a striker, but doesnt care as long as he helps the team
- Its a team of great quality

Well said Walcot. No team can win every game but fuck it as we haven't scored for one game let's stick a youth teamer up front. No pressure son.
To quote a popular DMR phrase "Get a fuckin grip".

Agree both were shite, but Connell always looks slightly more likely to score and works harder than Murray. Personally I would have taken Murray off first. 2 points dropped today. Rovers only looked remotely threatening in the last 20 minutes or so. Umpteen corners again wasted. Interesting how opinions differ. I thought McEveley looked slow and indecisive at times. Unfortunately my opinion on Holmes remains the same as following Wembley. He doesn't seem able to get past his man and again, crosses were poor. Two away games on the trot now, we need to start picking up points on the road again. The concern is our lack of firepower up front. |

We don't really have strikers that scare the opposition. Benson is a poacher - that is great, we have link men in Connell and Bodin, but he's fallen out with Kerrouche and Tehoue, both quicker, penatrative strikers. Agree with the post above. Get Storey involved.

Im basing this on more than one game. Connell is an impact sub IMO, Murray has done virtually nothing, Teehoue likewise although hasnt played much. Id just like to see Storey as he is a different option. Either way we are going up as champs but hey ho just my opinion |

All over them first half, should have been leading. Didn't quite click second half.
I can't argue with Di Canio making the first two substitutions when he did, and who he brought on/off. But I thought switching holmes to the right was a mistake. Holmes was puttting in some juicy crosses from the left, and linking up well with Mcevilly (Whom i thought was much better than on sunday). Moving him to the right took him out of the game, and we lost any resemblance of shape and balance.
Connel was absolute gash today. Not just finishing, but all round play. Not Murrays biggest fan, but he was the better striker.
Rooney looked shit. He does the same thing every single time he gets the ball. If he's still like that in 12 months, get rid. He'll never learn.
Rovers are a horrible fucking thuggish team. Id hate to watch them every week.

If Paolo was the Mrs I think we have had a lovers tiff this week. Look this is just my opinion, nothing more. I still love him but the things that have annoyed me recently
1. I was a bit annoyed two loan players walked straight into the Wembley team
2. Another falling out with a player. He needs to show more maturity.
3. Taking Connell off first. He wasn't great, should have scored and the decision should never have been booed. But at least you knew he was on the pitch.
Right I have that off my chest and will no doubt be lambasted for it.
---------
The game was not as poor as the radio texts I heard on the way back would make out. We played very very well for 65 minutes but found it hard to break a defensive Rovers team down. That's how its going to be, teams coming to defend for 70 minutes.
Ritchie looked very lively and for once the opposition didn't seem to make special arrangements and double mark him. He had more space and looked to be heading back to form. Such a pity he got clattered and injured.
Ferry was excellent and Holmes and Smith did there job. We were very very comfortable at the back and Rovers were more gash than gas to be honest.
After 65 minutes the game went scrappy and Rovers started to look a bit more threatening, but not much. Its nearly impossible to be so dominant for 90 minutes so it was no surprise. We didn't fashion too many clear chances but hey ho, every game is a battle now.
Not sure PDCs up/down celebration at the end was the wisest move but it was funny.
All in all a useful point.
