Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 2 wins + 2 draws, that'll do me, awkward game against a team who scored 5 away from home in midweek, what is the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Dissapointing but not the end of the world. The people moaning are no doubt the same ones who expected us to steamroller them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert's City Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Massive point absolutely massive against the mighty Rochdale. Disappointed with that, bit of a concern not using his subs as there are game changers on the bench strange why Pack didn't come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Decent point seeing as we were second best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P'head Red Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Nobody bothered to listen to Cotterill when he said this could be our hardest game yet? Nope, little old Rochdale should just roll over shouldn't they. I'm more frustrated that he hasn't brought on Agard or JET, we lost all creativity second half, taking off Freeman didn't help that. We took our foot off the gas, absolutely no pressure on their men like we did in the first half. Leaves me feeling a little deflated. But still, another point, still unbeaten, onto the next game.

cityexile Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Very disappointed, not so much with the result, but the performance in the second half. Sounds like we were second best and overall lucky to get the point. If nothing else, was surely worth putting some fresh legs on up front to give them something different to think about.

Kingswoodactor Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 So disappointing. Never expected us to go there and crush them 4-0 etc, but it was a game that we could have easily nicked 2-1 with the right changes from the bench. He's being a bit stubborn at this moment is SC, and it's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, little old Rochdale should just roll over shouldn't they. Nobody was expecting them to roll-over, if it had finished 1-1 with us having had a go at winning it, nobody would be unhappy. But when we are clearly second best not using your subs (esp. with the quality we have) is just obstinate. Made no sense against Orient and no sense today, hence the frustration.

ten minutes of rough Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 4 points dropped. Awful Never going to win every match are we? 8 points from four matches is good in the cold light of day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am A Cider Drinker Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Ok so we are still unbeaten, great but we should have won Tuesday night and today we will never know what agard could have done, strange only using 1 substitution and it seemed a negative one at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeysrobins Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 The problem is that some think all we have to do is turn up and the opposition rolls over. And then spit their dummies out when that inevitably doesn't happen. The reality is that we have lost just one from the last 17 league games - which aint too bad. SC knew this would be a tough game, they are a decent side and deserve some respect. A point gained, not two lost. Well said that man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Just remember how far we have come FFS, this time last season we would been dicked up at Rochdale and the dreamers would be saying 'we are in transition'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a disapointment but we are against another proffesional outfit that are organised and determined to stop us playing.. Add to that we are the big spenders in this division and teams are going to be right up for it against us. Although annoying On to the next one and chill people..

screech Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Unbeaten after 4 games and got a point from a team who hit 5 midweek, yeah, terrible that. Unfortunately it seems we have the usual fans who look at the oppositions name and think 3 points, they are in the same league as us and we got a point away, be happy.

AshtonGreat Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Rochdale have just been promoted and will be a tight unit and full of confidence. Cotterill has already made it clear that all of our new players will need time to gel. So a point is a good result, and 8 out of 12 is fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westonred Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Two away games 4 points.. if we had drawn at Sheff Utd and won today everyone would have been happy Yes its disappointing not to have won but its early days and were still unbeaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswoodactor Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 A good point away from home is when you've been under the cosh from the first minute, defending non stop for majority of the game etc etc We sounded like we had the better of the 1st half, and then decided to take Freeman off early in the 2nd. That was a game I fully expected us to go on and see out in the 2nd half, but we allowed them back into it and then when SC could have changed things to give us more threat going forward, he keeps it the same, and without a cracking save at the end, would have gone home empty handed. I'm just surprised at Cott's choices with regards to subs at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P'head Red Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 What does annoy me is our commentators, not so much Adam Baker, but the other bloke (not sure who it was today) always seems to cheerfully announce the oppositions goals, gets on my nerves.

Totally agree with your top sentence cynic but it's frustrating when the club invest a lot of money in the squad and not use them. Will have to wait for the Cotterill interview for his reasons.

Major Isewater Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I think Cotts will be cautious in the first couple of months whilst we get the new boys settled in and so long as we are near the top we can go for it after Christmas .
