Completely lost on the defence. Looking at their CVs they 'should' be alright. We are lacking a leader. It's PTs job to either make one of them a leader or get someone in on or off the pitch to sort it out as he is clearly incapable of sorting himself. There is no shame in a manager getting support where he needs it, it's part of management. Losing Craig was a disaster IMO. Was he the best defender, no. Did he get the best out of those around him, yes. Until we have that 'voice' at the back we are in serious trouble Ehmer was Gills captain so I would have expected him to be that voice, organiser, encourager etc etc. Clearly he isn't so perhaps he wasn't Gills real leader. As I posted earlier I feel so let down by him that he should be stripped of that captaincy, and even shown the door completely It seems to me that Garners recruitment (and yes TW has to take some of the blame for letting it happen) was to bring in people that wouldn't challenge him and his ideas as a new young coach. We're paying the price now

Dear oh Dear. Get them back on the bus now, and not Rich's bus.

Make Kilgour Captain. Drop Ehmer for Baldwin. In fact just show Ehmer the door as he isn't a Captain nor does he appear to care or put in the required effort

Got to make Kilgour Captain and drop Ehmer for Baldwin. In fact drop Ehmer out of the squad altogether - he isn't a captain nor does he appear to care.

A good start to the night, we're already in the drop zone as Swindle are already 1-0 up V Wigan. Into the second half at Swindle. Northampton's 'as it stands' point dropped us into the bottom 4

I pray that PT has taken Ehmer to one side and explained exactly what is expected of a Captain - to bust a gut and to rally, encourage and guide those around him. I also pray that Ogogo is OK as it is only with him and Grant holding the midfield and protecting the defence do we look at all able to defend properly And third prayer is that Nicholson, Hanlan and Daly are all kept fit through the next two months of 2 games a week

That'll be one game then before he twists his ankle, or gets a headache .... Any player can twist their ankle. A new signing could twist their ankle. So a bit of a weird comment. For all you know he could stay fit for the rest of the season. ..based on the fact that his ankle is a known issue and it's what he did v Darlington....

We've drawn 1 in 6 games and just lost to a poor Rochdale side whilst making the same type of basics mistakes we've made all season, we're bad enough to go down, it's whether there's 4 teams even worse, Wimbledon & Wigan could be, Burton are a bit a drift but seem to be having a good attempt today at trying to stay up, Swindon & Northampton are probably just as bad as us. Although if Hanlan picks up an injury then you do have to wonder where the next goal/win would come from. Once Daly is back, I probably wouldn’t start Hanlon anyway. That'll be one game then before he twists his ankle, or gets a headache ....

I wonder what the situation at the football club is. Are they still working on a deal? All gone home. Thought deadline day was tomorrow

No race to league safety - it's a lazy jog to relegation as exemplified by our (non) captain Ehmer every game.

I said after the Charlton game there was no need to panic. As soon as we got Nicholson and Oztumer back we'll be fine. I think i'll retract that now. Not beating teams like Rochdale at home, a team that concede plenty, and look so toothless is a recipe for disaster. This is sh*t!!!! Yep, we are headed down unless a miracle or three happen in the next few weeks. We have a weak minded and unbalanced squad. We have no defensive coach We have too many young and injury prone players that will not stand up to the two games a week schedule that faces them

Come on Gas - Rochdale concede late goals in every game.......

Our inability to close players down, or track back with urgency, or pick up runners, or just mark people properly will see us relegated. Ehmer is not a leader or captain - he doesn't seem to have any urgency in his own play and doesn't organise or bark orders at the others he is supposed to be leading. We need a defensive coach and we need to give the captaincy to Kilgour or Baldwin

Grant and Westbrook back together again That's a real blow if Ogogo is going to miss many games. He and Grant together were great on Tuesday

Wish we'd stop it with the 2 players taking a corner crap. I don’t understand why we do it. Surely the player by the taker’s side might as well stand in the box rather that next to the corner flag. It depends what the second player does. If it's our opposition doing it, he is the one that scores because we forget to mark him - e.g Crewe

Missing the solidity of Grant alongside Ogogo that we saw on Tuesday?
