First goal is a poor header out from Lines but a good volleyed finish from their CB in fairness.
Lockyer is caught out of position for the second and then makes a rash swipe at the ball - misses it and is out of the game and Jackson is 1v1.
Third goal Moore needs to be much, much stronger in that position. I appreciate he isn't a defender but he's last man, being closed down, and hits the floor like a sack of s***. It's not good enough.

Bloody awful defending if I produced that week in week out at work I would have been down the road weeks ago they ought to donate their wages to the travelling Gasheads what a shambles!! Do rank amateurs study videos of you doing your job and give critical comment? are you on a 1 year deal ? Do you donate your wages to your customers when you make mistakes?

The biggest joke is that the player who has caused the majority of the goals conceded is Tom Lockyer and he has been the only defender who has played regularly! Over the season Roos probably took the brunt of the blame. Are we yet again going to see assigning spend most of his time on the bench in Partington? I sometimes think that DC is losing the plot and six away defeats on the trot with no real signs of improving are certainly worrying. Just wish he would play his signings and stick to a winning formation. Why Sinclair was recalled today I just don't know and our squad today was probably the weakest we have put out this season which questions why we have released at least three of the six players. I would also query what Luke James brings to the table. Strange times indeed.

Im leads biggest fan but he was poor today. Maybe not match fit as I'm amazed he's back so soon after limping of v charlton. Someone had to be took of and it quite literally could have been any of them. Lumley done nothing wrong, olly Clarke may have been the best player on the pitch for both teams today. Luke James was more lively than Taylor was for the whole game. I don't think that was Taylor's goal. Looked like og where I was stood but the camera angle won't over rule it. Anyone else think that

Personally, there's many words I would use to describe Leadbitter's performance yesterday - 'impressive' wouldn't be one of them! ('Rusty' would be one of the kinder ones). Moore replaced Leadbitter because DC went all-out-attack at 1-0 down and changed the shape to a 3-4-3: _________Lumley ___Lockyer_____J Clarke _________Sinclair Moore_Lines___Clarke_Brown __James__Gaffney__Taylor Then when we went 3-0 down he changed to 4-4-2 and played Broom as an attacking right back behind Moore: _________Lumley Broom_Lockyer_Clarke_Brown Moore__Lines__Clarke_Taylor ______James__Gaffney Agree about Partington though. I'd have started them over either of the CBs - JC isn't a L1-standard CB and Lockyer is horribly out of form.

Lines badly directed and weak header is an example why he is best kept away from defensive duties. Moore tried to control the ball like he was further up the pitch and got bullied off the ball...possibly unlucky not to get a free kick. Despite the poor defending on the other goal the lob was very good indeed. Im hoping one of the new players is a good central midfield player who knows how to defend so Lines can stay away from the rovers box.

Wow, I heard everyone saying how sh** those goals were to concede, but that didn't prepare me for how sh** they really were.
That's three of the sh**test goals you could possible imagine.
We complain about every shot on target seemingly resulting in a goal like it's unlucky, but most of the chances we give away are very good chances. If all we gave away were snatched chances in the box where the striker was closed down by two or three defenders, or speculative long range efforts coz they can't even get it into the box then that would be one thing, but these chances are mostly easier to score than not.

To be fair to Lines there was a crazy amount of spin on that ball after J.Clarke's poor attempt at a clearance. I don't think the ball went anywhere near where Lines was trying to head it. I have some sympathy with him there and put at least 50% of th blame on J.Clarke.
Lockyer caught out yet again. I'm a big fan of Toms but the truth is he's probably cost us more goals than anyone this season.
Moore was woeful and although h's not a defender there is no excuse for the third goal. He offered nothing going forward either. I expected better after arguably his best performance of the season at Fleetwood.
Can't judge Lumley o that showing. Didn't have much to do other than pick the ball out the net and he had no real chance with the goals.
I'm concerned that DC thinks 1 or 2 more will be enough. Other than Lines and O.Clarke none of our central midfielders are good enough. We've lost Colkett and Boateng and need to bring in at least one to offer decent cover and competition in the middle of the park.
If Bodin is out for any length of time we need a winger as well because he'll be badly missed. Looked like a rib injury to me but I could be wrong.
However, the biggest problem is still the defence and until we get that sorted we'll continue to struggle.

Ditto for me mate. Couldn't watch last night so just saw them. Wow, that was bad. if you give chances like that a decent percentage will go in at this level. Think the Moore goal was questionable. he was trying to shield the ball, within playing distance of it, and the guy pretty much pushed him out of the way. Encouraged by matty's goal though. Another day a goal like that could get us points. I hope we don;t lose him as I think it'll be very much like the Lambert loss - we'll get the stiff upper lip out and pretend it's not such a massive loss after all, but the reality is many many players would not have scored that goal. Out jumped 6' 2" Celtic loanee Eoghan O'Connell and 6' 3" keeper. From my memory last year Matty was joint leading scored in Lge 2 for headers. He really has a knack with them. BTW - I wonder if Walsall fans are slagging Etheridge off for not getting that cross. it was his to get.

Hit it and could well go in, just before half time. General point - It's easy for people to say Lines shouldn't be back there but he's actually one of out tallest players so not having him there for a freekick into the box would be criticised more than him being there.
