Broadbent really could not do much for the 3rd their striker was going to get that goal whatever and he could have damaged himself on the post. The issue was that 2 others let the cross come in. Really? He was clearly the wrong side of his man before the ball went in the box. |

My thoughts after watching on television Slocombe 5 looked very shaky Leadbiter 4 everything he tried went wrong Burnumber 4 looked short of games and confidence Broadbent 5 very naive has a lot to learn Brown 6 tried to get things going but difficult with no help Bodin 7 extra point for goal but not a great deal of action. Looks weak defensively Lines 5 way off pace today Clarke 5 doesn't look fit Sercombe 5 control and vision let him down Moore 3 could have or should have scored at least 1 anonymous most of game Harrison 7.5 our best at both ends of pitch so why take h off Agree with most of that padstow except..... Brown was dire. Can anybody explain to me why he insists on running beside a player trying to muscle him of the ball and not TACKLE the attacker ?? |

Brown was dire. Can anybody explain to me why he insists on running beside a player trying to muscle him of the ball and not TACKLE the attacker ?? Probably got used to not having a reliable keeper behind him in recent seasons so tries jockeying the winger into a position where it is difficult to get a telling cross in rather than dive in miss his tackle and give the winger more time to get a decent cross in |

That was painful viewing felt nervous every time they had a set piece, shows how much we miss Locks and sweens can't believe Partington never played.

Really don't know what you people watch ?
2 centre backs and 2 centre midfielders were poor
Brown and Leadbitter didn't do much wrong they had to come narrow to cover 2 poor centre backs to say everything Leadbitter did went wrong and Brown was awful is just typical of fans who look for blame coz they've lost a game
There's plenty more games and no doubt someone you like this week will be awful next week!
We lost to a better team because the centre backs are on international duty
There is a"love in" with Broadbent purely because he's a good story but he's never a league player yet
Give him time he might learn but nowhere near yet
Set pieces are poor at the minute but so much over reaction to a defeat it's only September 2nd

Broadbent is far less culpable for the third goal than Sercombe who made no proper attempt to stop the crosser from advancing into the box.

Yes but should the player been able to beat two players so easily to get the cross in, in the first place let's face it if we had been better at closing down and not giving so much space thing may have been different ! history now move on and get over it ! |

Burn has not really featured since his arrival last January either through injury or non selection by DC. He is inexperienced so not likely to shine until he gets more game time. Sercombe probably should have been rested against Wycombe saving him for today. Partington rested today perhaps after playing against Wycombe. Many of us feared the worst regarding the loss of Sweeney and Lockyer and fears duly obliged. Seems that SteveK is correct about the 3 signings that failed to arrive and it may be costing us points and an adverse GD.

And still he was taken off He only took him off because he was tired after putting in a good shift often without enough support. Didnt you notice he was exhausted? |

One thing you dont need against a very good bradford side when your forced to play 2 inexperienced centre-halves is poor performances from experienced players which is what we had today.
I know people love scapegoats and we could all see how the goals happened but it was a poor team performance.
On the positive side of things i thought ellis had a great game,bodin had some good moments and broadbent stuck to his task very well overall.

The one reassuring note is DC in his interview is in total agreement with most views, we were poor defensively and need to be more ruthless through out the team. He looked angry with the defensive display as he had every right to be. In particular we seem incapable of man marking setting pieces and opponents must be picking this up. Today was terrible but not the first time this season we have lost men at corners. Back to the training pitch!
As for any positives-If Harrison continues in the current vain he will win over the majority, Nicholls has skills -goals will come, and we continued to try to play good football.

Definitely a very poor performance against a very effective Bradford City side.We were outpassed, outfought for large periods of the game with a lack of experience and some off form players not contributing enough. Every time they had a corner I feared the worst. Let's hope we can bounce back over the next 2 home games which I am sure we can do.

No excuses for poor team set up, selection and performance - it was shambolic and embarassing end of. |

I thought Broadbent had a good game, one of a very small number of Rovers' players who showed up today; one thing I did notice, he clearly only has one foot! This makes me wonder how he got into the Army? I'm sure they check for things like that! Easy, he was a foot soldier! |

No excuses for poor team set up, selection and performance - it was shambolic and embarassing end of. The wider issues are the midfield not tracking back or supporting forward, to many pointing the finger at individuals,poor defending at corner's / set pieces as a team and not just as a back four !! END OF ! |
