Nige, Pearson, Ruffels.
Turton. Headley
Ashia, orpenda, vost
Thomas. Ward.

I completely missed that Ruffels was playing somehow!

Another one who can't judge a long ball. Pathetic

Just wondered why the kick off is 7 pm.
Is it something to do with the young uns bedtime?

A lot of the games in this competition kick off at 7pm - maybe it's an attempt to get families in?

A 745 kick off would mean that we weren’t losing.

[rothwellterrier]

I thought by dropping to L1 we’d be more at “our level”, I think some of this squad have more falling to do yet to reach their level.

[heycarpet]

It’s looking very poor. Why am I watching this? Starting to think I might hate myself haha UTT

[utttrooper]

Iorpenda seems to be the only one who can pass a ball

[huddersfc]

If this isn’t good enough motivation to get promoted this season, then I don’t know what is. Waste of time.

[NewMill Terrier]

Iorpenda has a lot of potential,

[NewMill Terrier]

Garbage defending from Ruffles

[Stiggy]

Shambles! To think it briefly went through my head to go and watch this.

[cyberman]

And that Josh Ruffles is why you are shit and will end up at fcking Golcar

[nicovaesen]

Out played by a league two team again. Can any team at the club pass a football ffs. This is turgid yet again

[Is It Eidur Gudjohnsen]

Yeboah??? Is that Tony’s lad!?

[galpharm2400]

Look at the goal, how did Doncaster get out of that corner right on the touchline??

I will tell you how, we were there in numbers but thats enough, just enough, you dont have to close down any harder, just being there,is enough.

Problem is, its not...

Its our disease..

[ezzie]

Duff must look at the squad he’s had to field tonight like “Good Christ”

[yorkterrier]

Ruffles Just gave up then. He slowed up when their lad was in behind and just left it to the keeper. If you were arsed you'd at least try and cover the goal.

[Floyds]

Can’t wait until we see the back of Ruffels, Turton, Ward, Hogg, Pearson etc

Painful viewing at the moment.

[Kenny irons]

Just shows some of the dross we’ve signed this past couple of years

Iorpenda is the only positive in a very turgid first half

[heycarpet]

The Sky commentary is so unbelievably crap. Every single sports + game thus far has been so soulless and predictable.

[ezzie]

I seriously can’t believe how bad some of these lads look. That clean through 1 on 1 was seriously seriously embarrassing.

Do they lack footballing IQ? Keeper was sat on the floor before he took the shot 🙈 just walk it round him, just like healey should’ve done before

[Detective Boyle]

Getting knocked out of the papa John’s trophy in the first round would really sum up the last 5 years of this club

[heycarpet]

Sod the second half. Miserable viewing this. The decline in quality over the past several years is depressing. Any illusions about this squad are misplaced. A couple of potential signs of life in this starting 11 but bloody hell it’s going to be a long one this year.

[8pack]

Ruffles dear dear me....the rest just dear me....

Just to point out that three of this team are making their first ever professional starts. One is making his second. The combined age of those players is 77. They are kids making up almost the entire front half of the team.

I’m aware Peter Thomas played for Rochdale aged 15. To you cannot be professional at 15.

A reflection of whats on the screen sadly.
Some of that would put glass eyes to sleep!
On a positive note - it is easy to see why iorpenda has been picked out from the young lads. Looks composed and neat.

For me, it’s not the kids that are the issue. They are doing ok compared to the seasoned pro’s that are along side them.

[theterrier42]

Ruffles wouldn’t get a game at liversedge, Warnock giving him a new deal was suicide

[Stiggy]

I feel a bit for the owner tbh. Something at the club is not right and it wasn’t right when he came in.

Rotten to the core springs to mind.

It’s a group we’ve got Barnsley and Man Utd u21s to play first
