Got to be top priority in the close season to get an experienced permanent keeper on board.

Commentators said the OG was a real howler but that he went to the trainer for treatment afterwards. They also said it's an awful game?? And McFadzean is injured, replaced by Hemmings, and Lyness on at halftime for Lainton (dislocated thumb).
Gurky's been pulled back to the wing and Palmer back to holding midfielder...
Alexander on for Phillips, 71 mins.
Cobblers break-away, great save by Lyness.
Ends 1-0

Dreadful performance against a team who played with spirit but not much else. I always think we play with real effort but today, apart from the last few minutes,they played as if the play-offs will do. The shots on target count says it all. Will we try for nil alls in the play-offs and win on penalties?

I've seen some poor performances this season, but today takes the biscuit. They were dreadful. There was no football at all in the first half, just hoof it up towards McGurk and hope something might turn up. McGurk could not hold on to any ball he was fed with, so there was no pattern or creation in our play at all. Changes were made at half time, but this made no real impact on us. Northampton were I thought a very poor side who were given a goal, and were never pressed by us, because we never ever looked like scoring. Our goals for column still averages 1 goal every 2 games. They cantered to their 1 0 win. I can't think of one effort on target for us in the whole game. Don't know if I can face going to Newport to watch this so called football  |

Glad the penny has finally dropped with some the supporters on here,the football has been dreadful for most of the season,with the nadir for me the Wimbledon home game.Somehow more by luck,than any decent football the playoffs will be achieved ,it's not even parks football anymore,lump the ball up and hope.
How can anybody say they have been well and truly entertained this season?
I know all the rowett lovers on here will defend his style of play,but ask any person at the home games if they rate any of the performances or the awful football,not many would say yes.
As for the playoffs always a 50/50 chance,but not if this high ball rubbish is persisted with.

Ironically this team can play football. You watch their warm up routines with the maximum of 2 touches interplay, and they are very accomplished. Why they bother with this routine though is beyond me, because they hardly ever use these skills in a match. It completely frustrates me.

Credit must go to our defence for getting us where we are because our strikers are bordering on non league |

I don't mind losing it is part and parcel of the game, but I do mind us losing without giving a decent effort! Is it just me or did it seem like they had almost accepted getting nothing out of the game before they had even travelled ?

Last Saturday we had given our best first half display of the season with a typical target striker alongside Billy Kee, and Bell in midfield, But because GR has a massive soft spot for McGurk we revert to a McGurk/Kee combination which was a total disaster at Northampton. If you think hoof ball is the game we should be playing (which I don't), then you must have a target man who can win the ball, hold it and lay it off. We are though also a small side for hoof ball anyway. I am as you may already know really despairing about our football and style, or should I say lack of style.
I can stand us losing, but not like we lost yesterday. I can watch football of that quality at the Moat ground, for a lot less money.

Burton were so bad yesterday, I was physically sick all over the radio and spent the evening sticking pins into a doll of McGurk and setting fire to my signed Gary Rowett jock strap. If I want to hear football like that, I can repeatedly bang my head in the wall until my comatose state resembles a Scottish Third Division match. Disgusted of Horninglow.

After yesterday's performance I was left thinking about both where we might have finished this season if we'd had a better than half-decent goalkeeper and a 20 goal striker........and how well we've done without either.
We've got plenty of keepers and plenty of strikers.....not sure how hard Gary has tried to remedy either problem of finding really good ones or how hard he has tried to practise what he's often preached - quality rather than quantity - at either end anyway - he's applied this maxim pretty well in his back-line and in midfield.....

I agree and it is a better place that we are in that last season is it not? A better place from which to build? He tried desperately hard with the striker, Howe seemed to be a good option, but wasn't, Alexander sounded a good signing but is not prolific. In terms of the 'keeper, it is a bit of a mystery. Lyness was signed as a no.2 but we don't ever seem to have gone for a no.1. Pickford had the potential but was up and down to Sunderland like a fiddler's elbow, Lainton is (IMHO) a better bet than Lyness but neither is an assured no.1. Perhaps that will be a priority position next season... |
