  • Utterly depressing defending after the front players had fought to get us back into it. I would whip off Lloyd Jones at half time today. He has been a liability all game. Just no point playing a player in this sort of mood.
  • This is just getting too boring….
  • Can't defend and can't clear the ball
  • most of us know how an Evans team plays and that is how Rotherham play, surely our management team knew this and should have set up the team to counteract it instead of waiting until we are 2-0 down.
    Nathan Jones has the talk but not the ability
  • 3 gifted goals away from half in 45 mins. You just cannot do that

    How have we changed to a diamond by the way?

    I fail to see how that XI fit into it, is one of the 3 CBs playing fullback? Is Small playing in central midfield?
    I'm showing both my age and my appalling sense of humour, but I really want his nickname to be Heather...
    Oi! 
  • Look at the positives the owners will now see that we need to keep our best players and bring a load more in.
  • It’s so bad. Back three look like they’ve never played before. Jones particularly bad. Zero awareness, slow to react to anything.

    Our goal came from nowhere. Rotherham unlucky not to have four or five.

  • I never thought I would be saying this but maybe this is a game for Anderson atleast he battles and has high energy ! We are being totally bullied and are so far off the pace it’s mental. I would also sub AMB at halftime he looks like a rabbit in the headlights everytime a ball comes in 
  • HT 3-1 …. Story of the first half one offside goal , two mistakes by Jones and a pen not given to us …
    People will moan at Nathen Jones but what could he do today, two individual errors and a poor ref 

  • Forwards bullied, midfield AWOL and defence back to the levels we expect.

    Absolutely fucking awful.

    Entire team look shattered. Need some legs on at HT. There is ln't a single player out there who could complain if they are hooked.

    The inability to maintain a level is baffling. A team that was starting to look ok dropping to this level of performance is a joke.
  • Unreal. All they had to do was get in a goal down at HT.

    The thickest football club in world strikes again.
    Said it before, but I genuinely do believe this to be the dimest/thickest squad of players we’ve seen for a long time! 

    No real footballing nous, no ‘smarts’ and dark arts of the game, and no real reading of the game
  • Brownie, shut up man giving credit to Rotherham...we can see it ourselves...back three not at it...
  • All that fucking about between Coventry and Edwards leading to the fk. AMB useless, had a fucking age to come collect that. L. Jones playing like he can't be bothered and at fault again. Shite.

    Looking forward to my Tuesday night trip
  • Not sure what you can do when your defence falls apart as ours just has. Jones looks half the player he has been while Mitchell and Gillesphey have their normal quota of errors. Docherty, apart from the goal, and Berry have been invisible. NJ going to have to do something special to turn this around, or even just stop it getting worse.
  • Worrying this performance. Could be a big score against us today. Defence looks like it will concede every time they attack us. Will be surprised if the don't get at least another 2.

  • On top of the awful defending we have absolutely nothing going forwards. No style, no plan. 
  • Brownie keeps banging on about them being this and that. I think they look just as Shite as any other team in this pub league and it’s purely down to our own undoing. Defence is all over the place!!
  • Tough choices for NJ here. The diamond is better than the 352 for this game but Small and Edwards are both doing ok. Mitchell isn't a RB and L Jones having a shocker but has been good for the whole season. At the moment we have lots of square pegs playing in round holes 
  • Our defenders all season have been appalling with the exception of Jones, and he’s having a stinker today like they all are, they’re just not good enough at this level. 
  • Utterly depressing defending after the front players had fought to get us back into it. I would whip off Lloyd Jones at half time today. He has been a liability all game. Just no point playing a player in this sort of mood.
    Isn’t he the second coming of Baresi ?

    jones the gaff could apply to either of them today.  One of them is trying to depress his transfer value?
  • I'm not sure I can be fucked watching this second half. I've seen us go behind before but it's never felt this depressing for some reason.
  • Don’t know what’s gone on behind the scenes this week but team spirit seems non-existent. They are very tetchy with each other.
