Why the criticism of Alan Mac, the guy is immune from it for his service to the club

[Peter Venkman]

Don't know if its been mentioned on another thread, but QPR equal our record of games without a Premiership victory. The monkey will be off our back in 15 mins

Well they drew 2-2 so the record is not longer ours

I'll drink to that, the monkey has scampered off

I won't criticise him for his playing history but his commentary skills are lacking IMO and several others.

On the radio you just cannot get a good idea of the game, especially so when listeing to our own commentary team.

From chances alone it seemed to have been a good game for us with a lack of finishing the key.

Your second sentence has summed the game up in a nutshell.  Disappointing that once again our finishing has let us down.  I'm not sure where Di Canio goes from here tbh.  All of the strikers, either permanent or loan seem unable to find the net.

I hear Charlie Austin is available for the right fee

It's even more noticeable when switching between commentary teams.

There was one opposition commentary team recently that irritated the shit out of me. One of them was like a cross between Terry Christian and David Brent. Couldn't stand the irritating little fucker.

Having had enough I decided to switch back to good 'ole BBC wilts only to listen to Alan Mac moaning. I was persistent and switched between the two a few times and each time it was Alan Mac just moaning every bloody time.

In the end I chose to stick with Terry Brent.

Frustrating game. Highlights were Bostock, De Vita and the back 4. All others could have done better.

Dissapointed by Donnny, who never even considered winning. Their perogative I know, but I'd have hoped a side in second would have shown more intent

PDC interview:
- Disappointed as we always want to win.
- Unfortunately not disappointed with the players as he's been saying for months that he does not have players who can score enough
- They tried their best and he has tried to encourage them. He told them 90% of them were fantastic
- He wanted a 'nasty striker' a month and 1/2 ago but cant get one now
- The positive is that the players have improved and done as they are told. We didn't give the ball away.
- When you have 62 balls into the box then you should be able to score 2 goals!
- Not saying he can't get any more out of the players.
- He used Williams as an example saying that he can't fault his commitment or desire but the injury has set him back. He seemed to suggest that Williams problems are in his head rather than with technique as they have worked hard in training, but he doesn't reproduce goal scoring form on the pitch.
- Talked a lot about realistic goals for the season being mid table
- Gary Roberts disappointed PDC today
- Devera, Flint & Thompson have done very well and improved, 'especially where they have come from'. PDC is happy for those 3. But they still need to improve to be top league 1 players. They did well not to buckle after the OG
- Sad for the team as we deserved to win
- Frustrating that we always create chances and are have had a chance of winning nearly every game we've played this year (But the fact is that we don't score enough)
- PDC is not giving up and wants to finish top 8 if possible

DeVita:
- Frustrating because he believes that we are one of the best teams in the league
- It can't be bad luck as its happened too many times
- Sides making it difficult at County Ground, but today Doncaster didnt offer enough to get anything out of the game
- We have decent players all over the park and just need to keep working hard in the week and hopefully the goals will come
- Martin has taken a while to get fit, because he hasn't played much. But you can see that he comes from a higher league club

[Nomoreheroes]

Flint:
-Team did well. Solid at the back
- Defended as a unit, starting from the front
- OG was unfortunate
- We had plenty of chances but didnt finish them
- Frustrated dressing room
- Glad to be back and am enjoying it. Wants to train hard and play as much as possible
- First sending off was 2 silly yellow cards. Second wouldnt have been a red card 5 years ago
- Flint needs to stand up a bit more, but is a physical player and wont change that
