A tough watch number two. Number one was Hull. We seemed to have totally lost our way. Stockdale seemed to have his head elswhere , and yes summed up by his attempt at sign language with ' up yours' . Maenpaa perform excellently at Hull and must now be in the frame for the next game. The full backs, Bruno seemed to frequently pick the wrong answer. Ridgewell is not a fullback! Calde is a better chioce if we can't get a quality leftback in. Dunk played quite well but a fateful slip led to headed pass to Danny Ward. Greer was solid but not error free. Kayal suffered a knee injury but played on at less than his best, Stephens grafted but you need others to move into space to give options. Murphy looked timid or knackered not sure which.Knockeart looked bright and gave us some hope. Wilson is lightweight and did not handle strong challenges, nearly got on the end of a cross though. Hemed still in COG mode. Bobby Z had some chances and offered more but has joined the off target trend. Lua Lua and crofts offered little. On plus side nice chat with many Donny fans who boosted our support and I only had a 25 minute drive home.

David Stockdale's kicking last night was about as good as letting an ISIS member loose at the Wailing Wall. The fact he had the nerve to swear atvpeople who had made the effort to go to Rotherham, ****ing ROTHERHAM on a Tuesday night is piss poor in anyone's eyes

Sheffield is a good night out mind
So i've heard ,Bierkeller indeed.

I saw a gent taken away for what I believe was the constant filming of the match on his smart phone last night. He returned 5 minutes later and kept his phone in his pocket. Not seen that before but have to say I support the stewards as it was a bit distracting for those behind him.

I thought Knockaert was our MOTM tonight. A lot of positivity about him. With him and a fully fit KLL on the field we will cause some problems. Wilson seemed to be surrounded by 4 of their players every time he got the ball and became frustrated. On another day Bobby would have scored a couple and set up a third. Hemed just seemed disinterested in the first half. Stockdale had an off day (to put it politely). Murphy seems to be running through treacle when he has the ball. Kayal and Stephens dont seem to be as effective as they were earlier on.(But Kayal is still consistently one of our best players)
The things that were going our way in the first half of the season arent going our way now. We maybe punched above our weight a bit for the first 20 games but we are not far from being that side again now that some of the walking wounded are returning to action.
Thats football.

Totally agree, Knockaert was the ONLY one that seemed to have any drive or passion, whether it was an attempt to impress on his first outing or wath we can look forward to, i don't know.. Any sense of passion was missing from every other player on pitch.

I'll get flamed for this but it didn't feel like they were playing for the team, almost playing against it, playing against the manager? Is there any chance of a player/manager fall out?
