Surely you would expect a player who playsd mainly backward or sholrt sideways passes to have a higher completion rate? As regards negative I don't consider the report to be that negative but more truthful to the point that we are in where we look unlikely to score many goals and therefore every game is likely to be tough because any team top or bottom is going to get a period in the match where they will create something. We have done very well to be undefeated in the last five games albeit that they have all been drawn and in general they have all been entertaining games. I just feel that with taylor going and more importantly not replaced we have lost our cutting edge and our tactics are less likely to succeed than they were before.

Goals win football matches and we havent scored more than 1 goal in a game since Northampton. Those thinking we will suddenly start banging them in against lesser teams will have a bit of a rude awakening as out strike force isn't good enough, not one of them imo. We gained one more point in January than we did this month despite losing 3 games in 5 last month.

Steve always like your reports but I think we had pace on the right side with Bodin and Leads doing the overlaps. On our left side we had the Beard and Harris who countered their attacking options. We were unlucky yesterday, we just need a striker who can play with Gaffers and hit the net regularly. I thought Harison would open them up yesterday in the second half, this just did not come off and he had a bad game but I am sure he will learn. I feel the crowd is too obsessed with S*** winning yesterday in the first half and that had an effect on the atmosphere, too many people looking at their mobile phones. I have noticed the crowd noise levels increases with S***'s opposition scoring goals as they catch up their lead in the second half. UTG

Ian Holloway requested once that the City score is not announced on our scoreboard during a game as it raised such a cheer it was distracting for the team, as city become embroiled in a relegation fight this seems to be true again with many showing more interest in their score than our own sadly.

Looking forward to Tuesday night, will be happy with a point, although not expecting anything, we all know our goal threat from the forward line is zero, so 0-0 is IMO our best hope.

I noticed Bob Harris limping a bit 5 mins before coming off. Nice to know Browner is there to replace.

LOL, who would have thought it? Our fans cheering so loudly it distracted our team..... The players at the time must have had their heads so turned on, they noticed the difference between a cheer for the Sh!t losing, and a "normal" cheer!!!

I'm afraid- this is too negative.
I can write a good deal of these match reports before they are written.
- Brown always less than a 7, unless he scores the promotion goal- then a 7...
- Sinclair can't do anything but tries hard, he's not really top 6 player...
- Why don't we play montano more?
- Darrell makes mistakes. Either shouldn't of subbed x, or should have started with the team we finished with.
At the end of the day remove a horror pass from Elis we would have beaten top of the table. James wasn't that bad- whilst he was on the pitch we were in cruise control. Had- we lasted a little longer- there's a great chance we could've caught them on the break and we're talking about 2 nil and possibly the performance of the season.
Don't get me wrong I quite like monty- I feel he's putting in the graft and becoming a better player for us. However- he gets more support on here than most considering his goals to games/ starts is very dubious. He's a good option but he doesn't do that much more than sincs. Sincs and Harris their right back on toast in that first half and could of drawn a red card on another day.
It's was a good performance. 6's all round minimum for me. (Sparring Elis). If we play like that for the run in we'll win more than half.

Why does Steve get so much stick for finding time to write a detailed report of every single game?
We already know we see games differently, everyone has an opinion and nobody is right or wrong that's the beauty of football.
Rather than criticise why not submit your own report?

I personally couldn't submit a report on each player because I find it difficult to watch 11 players and the formations for 90 mins. I take my hat off to anyone who can watch 11 players & the different formations for 90 mins.

It's not stick it's called a difference of opinion as you have said ,should we all just agree with what he writes ? He takes the time to do his match report because he chooses too and posters have every right to agree or disagree with what's written. I think that you may be looking into it a bit much

I dont always agree with it and not everyone will, but I always look forward to reading Steves write-up, but I dont go as far as to knock him for it.

Depends where you are, in the Dribuild you get quite a decent overview of the pitch and can see spaces being left which isnt always clear at ground level. You don't have to be watching someone every second of every game to make a judgement. I personally find it hard remembering who did what without writing things down, but i'll put that down to excessive partying in my youth!

You are having a laugh we had a few hours to sign a player to replace a player with the snakes quality Get real and stop moaning I for one was expecting Taylor to go in the January transfer window for certain. When signing the summer contract he already spoke of leaving (out the front door, head held high, blah blah..) and insisted on this clause so I always knew he would ship off at the first opportunity. DC should have been preparing for the possibility of losing him right up until the last minute and should have had some irons in the fire, even another loan. In any case realistically were they that bothered about replacing him? Does Wael want us to exceed expectation by getting into the Championship and have to shell out on the playing side for once?

Well, we're unbeaten in 6 and our next four home games are Southend, Chesterfield, Shrewsbury & Oldham.

If anyone suggests they would suddenly start doing that because the opposition are weaker, that would be naive imo. Draws would at least keep us safe so I guess if the defence stays steady we can sort the rest in the summer, but this was a wasted opportunity this season.

When the snake left DC said he had only scored 3 goals in the last 20 scored.... so why replace him when the other player put the ball in the net

We already know we see games differently, everyone has an opinion and nobody is right or wrong that's the beauty of football. Rather than criticise why not submit your own report? If someone makes statement on the forum - surely the point is to engage with it? Or we could all just write our reports and essentially make this a blog share instead? SteveK attends almost every rovers match and takes time to share his opinion. Fair play to him. However, I disagree with his opinion and challenge his post. Overall, this is a great weekly feature that many gasheads enjoy regardless if they agree or not. Personally, the marks out of 10 get to me more than anything. Luke James is getting 4s where a Taylor would have got 6. There's power to name. LJ ran his socks off yesterday and was part of a really good team performance. Yes, he didn't get around the box enough but thats enough criticism. A 4 implies he's well below the standard required and that clearly wasn't the case.
