Absolutely awful start by Dale. We're making Scunthorpe look decent but we are all over the shop . We look in real trouble . Praps its why we usually have another midfielder. |
Its not really a surprise surely? |  | | |

We are very poor, with even the Scunthorpe commentators saying we look awful and are offering nothing going forward.
I am getting worried about our position, if we cannot even threaten the Scunthorpe goal and look second best against the team at the bottom.
We are even making Pyke look a decent footballer, which says a lot. | | | |

Looking ok only in tiny pockets of play but we keep giving it to them back. i think we are being let down by Dowsett's passing. All the play at the back seems to end up with him and his distribution is very poor today. | | | |

Dooley is consistently trigger shy.
Charman keeps getting pulled too deep or out wide, when he should be in the box. | |

worst half of the season (especially considering the opposition). scunny won't look better against anyone all season.
no fight. second to everything. look knackered.
RS said before the game we're not in a relegation scrap yet. be under no illusion - as of right now we are. | | | |

1-0 at HT and a very poor performance. 2 shots against bottom of the league v their 9. Last 15 minutes was a little better than the first 30 & I don't think we would need to improve by much to get back into the game. However will be able to step it up? |  | | |

That first half was the visual embodiment of two bald men fighting over a comb. |  | | |

Possibly the worst most inept half of the season. The front two look well short of league standard at the moment and okeefe isn't overlapping enough.
Scunthorpe are much the better team based on that.
We are sadly in real trouble now. All those who said we could challenge for the play offs oh dear me.
I'll be happy with surviving this season. | | | |

Can anybody recall a chance or a goal emanating from a foraging run into midfield by our captain?
It’s a small moan amongst the rest of the not so great stuff we are seeing, but as he collected his booking today i thought ‘well, at least it led to something finally’
That was as bad a half as we have seen |  |

My last post was probably about 10 games ago and I pointed out the lack of fight, passion and grit. I’m sat here now, full emerged in a relegation battle wondering why I am witnessing the same drivel.
We have made about 4 passes the final third. The most abject 45 minutes considering our position. Scunthorpe must be sat eating their tangerines thinking this is in the bag and league two survival isn’t beyond them if we are what they have to fight against.
Newby was our best outlet last week and makes the bench this week. Bizzare because when he isn’t in the team O’Keefe looks half the player. The latter I don’t understand the hype on whatsoever. Just a poor man’s Wiseman.
Kelly is due a spell on the bench too. Not up for this type of battle. Spraying balls in a good team is nice when it’s going well but we don’t need that right now. We need ball carriers and battlers.
Clarke is crossing from far too deep and Dooley is probably the most shot shy player in the league when he gets in decent positions.
Dorsett keeps finding claret with hopeless long balls.
A big 45 minutes needed to prove to the fans they are up for this. Actions speak louder than words Robbie but this is your team. If you can’t fire them up then we are heading down a dark dark hole.
Scunthorpe look well organised, authoritarian and desperate to win. The togetherness when their centre half blocked Balls attempt at a shot on the penalty spot summed them up brilliantly. They know they can beat us and it’s the only thing in their heads. | | | |

No fluidity or movement. The team is not really playing well and playing as strangers, not a team playing with that enjoyment. The clever runs, talking and communication missing.
We look a long way from the side similar to the team at the start of the season. No togetherness. A couple of the players doing ok are Max Clarke and Campbell. Liam Kellys having another off game with his passing and vision not up to much, he's easily pushed off.
Comon Robbie sort it out. | | | |

I'd had enough of Kelly after last week's penalty, and thought his removal at half time signalled similar thoughts from RS
Either Grant or Newby should be on instead of him, from the start
Post goal edit: i'm deffo claiming credit for that one!! [Post edited 19 Feb 2022 16:15]

Nice, falls for Kelly, easy run and rochet in of a defender's heel looping the keeper.
hopefully he'll have his chin up now. | | | |

Great run from midfield by Kelly, followed by a huge deflection.
First shot on target.
C'mon Dale | | | |

Good driving run culminating in a shot that takes a huge deflection. Lucky, but if you actually shoot then you have a chance. Don't deserve it over the whole game but it should deflate them & it's now up to us to take advantage
Already done more in less than 10 minutes than the whole of the first half | | | |

Dooley can't shoot |
Did you mean Newby? 
(Good effort) |  |

I’ve said before we’re definitely a second half side but why, just once, can’t we start games on the front foot? |  | | |
| Scunthorpe (a) Match Thread on 16:26 - Feb 19 with 1944 views | golfaduffy |
We look a much better balanced side with a extra midfield player. | | | |
