We ran out of steam a few weeks ago when Farrell went back to Barnsley. Did well to get past Southend but Rochdale didn’t have to do anything special today, 2 goals gifted to them on a plate.

Weighing in with so many goals this last two seasons Roberts will be missed in that aspect. But for me seeing him lately bar the goals he hasn’t done enough to help the team out.
Maybe because he’s injured but rarely tracks back and helps out/gets stuck in.Hopefully we can find someone else to score because we really struggle to create too much.
I didn’t think Rochdale were that great. Didn’t need to be tbh.
Defensively we are so slow, every time they broke down the left side we were wide open. Someone tracking back would have helped !We’d have snapped someone’s hand off if they offered us semi final play off place at the start of the season.
For me today showed not how great the opposition were but how poor we looked. This constant lumping it forward even after DW went off showed this. The ball needing bringing down and played on the floor and strengths on what we had on offer.Early goal killed the atmosphere for us.
Think it’s going to be a very difficult to match this season next season.
AB has some work to do in the summer. He will be really judged next season in which could be more difficult.1 user thanked author for this post.
Not so sure roaming bull. We’ve done as well as we’ve done with a catalogue of questionable GK’s between the sticks with a LB playing at CB for a bulk of the season. Boyce as backl up despite him at times looking like he was wading through thick treacle.
If we get a good replacement for Roberts and Westbrook on a perm contract with a good dependable GK and a proper CB next to Evans, we should do pretty well.
I don’t think the league will be as strong next season.
Beestin, Westbrook and Rowley in CM doesn’t seem bad to me. We need another striker to put real pressure on Whitehall. It’s the defence which really needs strengthening. Rose and Jb for RB slot. Horton and Denton for LB. If we get a few good solid CB’s in and a good Gk who could actually be classed as a proper, dependable no 1, we’ll be fine.
Do we need Barrows, Rose and Jb for RB position ?

Rochdale imo where a class above us just like the league game at their place.
We were left to feed off scraps after the early goal it made it so easy for them to play the game out, we could never have done that from the 3rd minute onwards.
Belehouan was absolutely shite yesterday and something we couldn’t afford to happen when everyone needed to be at there best.1 user thanked author for this post.

Please not JB at RB ever again. CB, maybe. I’d still worry about his ability to turn and track nippy forwards though. Seems to accelerate well going forward but not defending so well.

How many people have played right back this season ?? We were shocking down that flank yesterday. Beestin came on too late for me, we had them rattled in the latter part of the game. They won by an own goal and a goal that could have easily been prevented. Small margins. The linesman on our side, we were right in line with his wrong decisions. Did their keeper carry the ball outside the area ?? UTWI
