[Trinidad Rover]

I'd just say to Buckley, look mate, you're 3 stone piss wet through, you need to put on some mass before you start playing again you're too flimsy 

Whilst I agree the bigger issue this game has been that I've lost count of the amount of times he's hit the least effective passing option with no pressure on him whatsoever.

Nah, not for me. As a striker (not on Penalties) going down there is soft.

[RutlandRover]

How's that not a pen? No attempt to play the ball.

[neophox]

Shit referee should been a penalty dijskteel pushes Leonard on a free..

More context needed ...

[Darwen Rover 007]

Leonard took the easy option for me went down way too easily should have pulled the trigger 

[neophox]

Tooth looks assured 

[Blue Greyhound]

Time for subs

I see your point but it was clearly a foul

[Bethnal]

Didn’t seem a pen on first viewing but second viewing, it did.

I agree. At the very least stand your ground a bit and stumble down to sell the force of the push a bit. 

[MB Rover]

Mmmm I think that would’ve been very soft. 

[Darwen Rover 007]

Toth looks very assured

Another that needs to gain some weight and strength

Yeah agreed. Looking at it again, at his age, he needs to be taking shots rather than trying blag soft pens

[Blow-in]

I am not against the idea of playing out from the back, but it seems to me all we do is knock it around putting ourselves under more and more pressure due to poor touch and passing accuracy until someone either loses it or has to smash it forward under pressure.

Can we not cut out the middle bit and hit it long at the start when you are not under pressure and have some chance of having a bit of accuracy?

[Ferrit]

Blatant penalty for me, goal side he just barges him in the back. Anywhere else on the pitch it’s a foul.

Hope he hasn’t got to pull one out of the net.
