Nice1 Steve, was gonna say take a week off the reports after that mess, but a great read.
Confusing tactics from DC and a lot of questions raised...
Why was Bodin so narrow at the beginning, Was he the head of a diamond? If so then we were losing out massively on the wings. (Lockyer who is excellent, was pulled wide a lot and luckily for us Leads is flying)
Why didn't we close them down when they had the ball? And when we had the ball it seemed that just keeping it was enough. It's almost like DC is try to emulate Brendan Rodgers possession tactics (where he believed the team with the highest possession % won!) and everyone knows how that went at Liverpool.
Sorry, I really respect DC and want him to do well, but its bloody hard work!

Cannot for the life of me see how Taylor should have more than2.he is lazy and contributes little to the side.as for likeliest to score he had 5 good chances today and didn't hit the target with any.his chance to conversion ratio MST be the worst I have seen from any striker in the quaters since dick plumb Some people love the useless waste of space. Simple as that. He is definitely a marmite player. Do agree with Twentyman, who said on the radio after the game, that it seems Taylor has to miss four good chances to be able to score one. Newport had a controlling midfield player yesterday and forwards who could clinically finish, with the exception of Bodin, both non-evident in the Rovers line up.

Thanks Steve Your report agree with most of it, Except Easter good in patches outweighed by bad patches of play, he just has not the pace, but then he would not be with us if he had a bit of pace about him. Subs yesterday had no effect on changing the game whatsoever,
What the hell is the goalkeeper coach doing with our keepers, Mildenhall goes from being an excellent keeper to quivering wreck, Nicholls started brightly when he first came to a mistake prone player, and these errors have been creeping in over his last few games, would not drop him though, the howler he made is indefensible but any keeper who makes that sort of mistake there is no second chance

How many mistakes has Nicholls made since arriving - still a good keeper in my view. Parkes, looks too slow and heavy that's why he can't head a ball properly. James Clarke must come in for him on Friday if McChrystal isn't fit. We still need a wide right player since ...................................................(add your own date !!!!!!!!!).

Taylor is a hard working/determined average League 2 player in my opinion and is a good player to have in our squad especially after his contributions last season.
However if you were to do the equivalent of an mot test on our squad you would have advisories on:
Goalkeeper - needs replacing with better quality.
Right sided midfielder - Doesn't seem to be present and is desperately required.
Striker - Is only just functioning and requires a better quality replacement to run smoothly and more efficiently.
Client: "my budget won't stretch to that" Inspector: "That may be so and we sympathise with you but if you wanna get from A to B you better sort your finances or you won't be going very far"
Its my opinion we have a good squad of great hardworking lads being led by someone who gets the best from them he can but without the addition of a few refinements it can't progress and i say that with the utmost respect to all our players - UTG

He shiuld have scored at least one today but why is he always the scapegoat ffs. Not a scapegoat just telling how it is.Until he was subbed Easter put the defenders under pressure and worked his socks off to try to make something happen,whilst Taylor just trotted around and offering no assistance at all.As for all the balls in the air 5 or 6 at most and none that troubled either the defence or the keeper.He is a luxury player and when we are under the cosh like we were for long periods yesterday he was a passenger.

He is not the scapegoat just very simply a player who is out of his depth. He used to have a high work rate which partly made up for his misses in front of goal. Now he doesn't even put the effort in and seeing him jog around whilst staying 3 or 4 metres from the action is taking away the pleasure of watching rovers. Very poor again today. Disagree with Padstow about though, I'd rather we had Dick Plumb up front !! I think Plumb is a bit past it now but he would at least put in the effort

The reason monakana was sent back was because he wasn't needed and if we do get a good right winger in then he would demand to play, so I can't see this being high up his list of priorities, everything else is good though

Jon I think you are missing the main point in that the majority of successful teams have a settled side with changes made when forced through injuries and suspensions,at Rovers it seems to be whose number is pulled out of the hat to play,only played the same side once this season,even makes changes after a win,how can the team settle into a routine when no one knows if they will be playing or not.The way this season is going reminds me very much of 2001/2 when Ollie lost the plot,making changes for change sake and couldn't buy a win at home.The position is somewhat similar inasmuch as then we hadf 19 points today we have 20 and only the away record keeping us reasonably lower mid table,i hope I am wrong but the similarities are there for all to see,and Ollie didn't last long that season

steveK's reported that although there were good numbers the crowd never really got behind the Team. When Parkes conceded the own goal he must have felt terrible and so the crowd should encourage him to let him know they are right behind him and likewise with Nicholls and Taylor's array of off target efforts. Support for failing Players during a game is vital for injecting fresh confidence into them - it could have helped us to avoid defeat. Also I hope our Players avoid the forums like the plague.

We don't really know if Montano can do a job as a winger because whenever he is brought on it is generally when we are losing and then he is brought on inside to obviously send Browner down the line. He needs five games on the trot to show what he can do and get match fitness but the trouble is we cant give him the time. I actually thought hye did ok yesterday when he came on but not enough to start ahead of Gosling or Bodin.
