Canavan is bob.
This keeper is no better than Conrad.
McNulty (maybe even McGahey) is surely a better option at the moment.
Kitching isn't ready. Would rather play Cannon at RB and Raff at LB as a last resort.
Rathbone surely is worth a starting place? He looked brilliant when he came on.
NML on the bench is a head scratcher...especially if it's Donal taking his place.
If we offfer RNL a new contract I'll never go again.

So if a team is playing extremely poorly but flukes 5 wins in a row, they're in bad form? | | | |

Jesus H Christ, just what is up with people?
Form is either playing well or badly, results are just that... results
No need for further discussion

You can google wtf you like, if a team is in good form it means they're playing well - results usually follow
Just to give you another example, a run of results such as LWDLDW would tell you nothing about what kind of form a team was in, especially since that run of results wouldn't tell you which games were played home or away | |

I have done in other posts
A team with a sequence of WWWWW might be playing badly
Would you then say that team was in good form? If you answer yes, then describe what term you would use when a team is playing well. The accepted term is good FORM
And just to return to my original point when discussing this with Shun before you and sweetcorn so rudely interrupted - I used the term form to describe the fact that we're having some very good passages of play, despite results

As much as I'm not used to saying it, sweetcorn and JR are right on this one. We're playing ok but that's irrelevant, we're most definitely in poor form. |  | | |

I understand where you're coming from, but let me settle this (pretty sterile) debate once and for all
An individual player, when he's playing well, is said to be in good form. That's irrespective of what the result is
Also, "Form is temporary, class is permanent"
Is that about results? No. Sorry Shun. | |

If a team has won five games in a row they're in good form.
Form is all about good results. When people mention form teams in leagues, they're always talking about the team with the best recent results. That's really all there isn't to it.
Are you really that unwilling to fall on your sword this time? | | | |

Calvin MOM - That lad was everywhere today. |
You've no grounds for slagging off Wilson, he's got the best distribution of any Dale keeper I have seen. Donal had a decent game today, looked like he really wanted to prove a point. Not too sure why I'm responding to your post as you're clearly a moron, but there you go... |  |

Calvin was immense today and should be MOM.
Should have started with Rathbone. He created the spark when he came on.
Good to see Keith giving the subs more time to get into the game, hence the display from NML.
It felt like a loss, and we deserved to win that one.
Other results meant that it wasn't a bad result in the end.
As usual, we need to take more care with our passing.
When we took throw-ins they put us under the cosh and we lost possession as a result on many occasions. We didn't put them under the same cosh when they had throw-ins.
And one last boring observation...yet again we fail to put a man at the far post area when we have an attacking free kick. The free kick is often kicked too long...but there is nobody there...frustrating to see time after time after time after time after... |  |

Agree we really do miss Bunney and Kitching was definitely struggling a bit. Can't understand why RNL came on though. Would rather have seen McNulty than RNL.
With RNL you get what it says on the tin ...... Rubbish Non League quality player. When he inevitably gets released again at the end of the season he will really struggle to find a league club. He probably end up sat at home in Huddersfield then RNL may stand for Retired Near Leeds. |
Thought RNL did far better than Kitching when he came on, actually offered something going forward. Granted he left us more exposed at the back but then he was out of position, round peg in square hole and all that - just wish he could get some bloody consistency |  | | |

Once we learn how to deal with high ball in to the box, we will be fine. That seems to be our biggest weakness. There's not too much else to be concerned with. It was similar with Bolton. | |

Are you really comparing the exploits of an individual to a team? That's disappointing, even for you. Of course a player can be in form when the team isn't doing so well. We're talking about TEAM FORM.
The phrase you seem to insist on citing doesn't come into play either as you're attacking this from an INDIVIDUAL standpoint. We are talking about a team here. Please try again. | | | |

Just for your INDIVIDUAL benefit JR, since you're determined to interfere on every bloody Saturday after home games like a clockwork troll, check the definition of 'form' in any dictionary
The references will include concepts such as shape, structure, organisation, method, performance - all alluding to the way an individual or team PERFORMS not their results
You can ask me to try again if you like, but if it still hasn't sunk in for you after at least three goes, I don't hold out much hope for you
I guess you'll be back trying to pick up on some triviality again in a fortnight | |

Fwiw, I dont think this is a binary argument as both views are right. Form tables do reflect W-D-L records and a team can be playing badly but gets Ws or vice versa. The term mid-season form implies playing at a high level but that doesn't guarantee results. It's all down to interpretation and context but I suspect had we won there'd be nothing wrong with our form? 
Calvin was motm by a long way yesterday for me. Just a pity we couldnt have held on to that lead. At least we now have a pitch again. |  |
