v Stoke City (a) - 10/3/23

[yankfan]

Dolan at fault again. Not alone mind you as the ball should have been cleared well before. But both goals his man gets in behind 

[JohnD]

Brereton for Dolan and Brittain for JRC

[neophox]

Dolan really poor tonight... Missing the marking two.times....

Brereton must replace him 

[Rochdale_rover]

Get Dolan off . Liability this half. All shite but he's on another level 

[den]

We’re just second best everywhere. They’re winning every 50/50

[1864roverite]

Reverted to type no control no midfield and the passing and defending is non existent 

[West Yorks Rover]

I really didn't fancy us tonight, in fact i was almost hoping for it to be called off.

[neophox]

Their right back will have a hattrick at this rate

[yankfan]

Definitely a penalty on Hayem. Maybe one for us too

I mean on this evidence so far I think I’d struggle to keep it to single figures

Me too

Zero chance we get a point tonight now.

Blatant penalty for us there, didn't see it at the time but the replay makes it a very obvious penalty for handball.

Dolan Shit

Buckley Shit

Travis Shit

Again

You have missed 8 others

[Nuttall is lost]

Why is it when we concede first its game over? why?

[Guest]

Rovers unrecognisable. We need to get something soon, and a rocket from JDT at half time.

Stoke well on top. Deserve their lead. No complaints

[roverblue]

Just like watching rovers for the most part of the season, garbage.
 

Been totally dominated, second to every ball and no clue going forward. 
 

[neophox]

This is why Dolan won't be a top player... He can't defend

 

[davulsukur]

We've been really poor.

Gotta make some changes at half time.

[booth]

I've not seen much of this game, but the ten minutes I have seen it's a very lazy performance.

And this is the problem, we've got a squad of players that are either inexperienced, poor or inconsistent and we haven't a decent centre forward amongst them.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Fearing another Rotherham like pasting here...when we are bad we're really bad!

[DE.]

What a shitshow. Nobody can bring their fans back down to Earth with a crashing thud quite like Rovers.

[pick32]

Szmodics and Dolan of please, well played ref didn’t deserve that penalty and made up for not giving them the blatant one

[neophox]

Even Jrc has been poor...only Gally had a fight in him tonight.

[RTM08]

Well, I actually thought we had learned our lessons and turned a corner, how wrong I was. Another unforgivably bad performance away from home, 

If we're going to be going back to this guff, with our run-in you can forget the play-offs. 

[LDRover]

So so poor all over the pitch. Anyone of those players could be hooked at half time and it be justified.

I do worry that some of our players go missing when it gets on top though, especially in that midfield area

that's a pen for us which would be huge. 

They should also have had a pen but if they do then it's still 2 anyway ours changes the way the game is going.
