Defeat lies at the managers feet on this one I'm afraid. We've gone from 2-0 down to 3-2 and he's killed all momentum with the tactics and the subs inviting them to come and beat us. |

Theres no hiding from the fact that we were really poor tonight and offered absolutely nothing going forward. Neither were they but they took their chance and go home with 3 points.
Let's hope they regroup and produce something better on Tuesday. |

I am worried about the amount of injuries we have and how we seem to be getting them but not that worried about goals. There are plenty of goals throughout the team with everyone seemingly chipping in. How many times have we had the same starting XI lining up every week? Those players that are part of the rotation of the team aren't going to be getting the same level as someone like Mitchell who is playing 90 mins every week.
Haaland has scored 60% of City's league goals, Haughton has scored 61% of Fyldes goals, its the main strikers job to. I'm sure Mitchell will go through dry spells again at some point, he didn't score for the first 5 games. |

A competition that very few people want to see. Our attendances were low when it was the EFL trophy so they will be even less for this.
Even if the home team do keep all of the gate receipts. Are we going to make any profit if we get 500 people paying between £5 and £10? |

Dagenham have just absolutely spanked Gateshead 7-1, scoring all 8 goals. So we've moved back up a place. Every cloud... |

Things have gone our way recently (largely down to how good we've been of course).
Let's see what we're made of now they haven't. |

It was another great performance for the first 50 minutes. The striking difference between this season and last is that we can rotate a lot of the team and there's very little to no drop off in performance.
We unnecessarily panicked after they scored their first and were under pressure for the rest of the game. Last night showed the importance of TAR to the team and the way we play. They hadn't had a sniff down our right hand side all night until he went off but when he did, their left back had pretty much free rein to go up and down the line as he wanted and it caused us a lot of problems. |

First half - superb performance.
Second half - professional performance.
We got a 2 nil lead in the first half and protected it in the second. The fact we've conceded two goals, (the one at York completely preventable) is un believable.
TAR and Gordon on the right is as good a partnership I've seen in 30 years of watching Dale. |

Yesterday was a great game and like others have said, one of the best team performances at Spotland for a long time. It shows what we can do when we play without fear and with an attacking mentality. I don't think Woking are a bad outfit but we made them look like it yesterday.
A lot of the new signings performing well, Mitchell breaking his duck and for me, the best player of the season so far in Gordon. He seems to have come on a lot since last year and having TAR to the right hand side of him seems to give him confidence to both attack and defend.
Play like that and any team in the division will struggle to beat us. |

Was quietly confident going into this season that we'd make progress and become an attacking force but it looks like nothing is changing at all. Another drab half of football with no pressure on their keeper. |

We played better than on Tuesday as we cut out the daft mistakes.
FGR were well organised but nothing special. Our attacks for the first 70 mins were too predictable. Run down the wing, overlap and play it across the 6 yard box.
We seemed to attack more and have a few more shots from distance when the subs were made. I don't think either team would have scored if they were still playing though.
I wasn't at Boston but I don't remember Rodney having a shot in the last 3 games. He's wasted in the system we're currently playing, he needs to be central. |

Got what we deserved which was nothing. York better in attack and defense, stronger and quicker than we were.
We came out fighting in the second half but it soon petered out when York had a decent chance.
From starting XI to substitutions it was a really poor game from McNulty.
Go again Saturday. |

They appointed Southgate off the back of finishing bottom of the group in U21 Euro 2015. Carsley won the Euros against a really strong Spain team last year and I think that will be weighing on the FA's mind. |

Can't see it being anyone other than Potter or Carsley to be honest.
I'd like to see an attacking manager come in now. There wasn't a good consistent team at the Euros outside of the Spanish and when you look at the rest of the world, Brazil is the probably in its worst footballing state ever, Argentina just won Copa America but Messi isn't getting any younger, I don't think any of the African or Asian teams are ready to win a world cup.
With this group of players I don't think we're ever going to get a better chance over the next 2 to 4 years so its crucial the FA get this right. |

Tomorrow will be interesting, the Dutch seem to have found their shooting boots with 9 goals. You'd expect both teams will score in 90 minutes at some point. The Turkey team gave the Dutch defence problems when they ran at them.
I suspect Van Dijk will be more than happy to see Kane drop back to get the ball so everything is played in front of him. It's screaming out for runners in behind but not sure that's how England will set up.
It's worth noting that France are in the semi-finals, too. Only one French player has scored a goal all tournament and that was a penalty so we don't have it that bad, do we? |

Portugal won Euro 2016 and the only game they won in 90 minutes in the entire tournament was against Wales in the semi-final. They won the final AET without their best player for the majority of the game. |
