it is early to be critical of players plus the fact the pitch was so bad, but i thought Butler wasnt great, everytime he got the ball he knocked it long giving a lot of possession away,he looks like he lacks composure, or maybe Doherty didnt want the ball off him.
Bocu and Faz were very good, but are very similar in ways, both like to drop deep and collect the ball leaving us a little bit short up front at times especialy when the ball did go long

Yeah. In fairness i'm being a wee bit harsh in retrospect. He needs more time in fairnes..Quote:

Well we all have are favourite players dont we.However you must agree give the lad a chance.
Yes, and we are. We've just said he didn't play well on the night, none of us are saying we want him out or dropped, just saying he was poor and will need to improve if he wants to play with Rovers, that's all. Surely you must agree he didn't play great on the night? Look at it from an unbiased perspective and reply.Quote:

Clearly from his goal he has potential and hopefully if he can get used to Irish football and the sh1t playing surface he can become a fans favourite for us all and not just Jerry!!Quote:

here we go again.....it was Faz 2 years ago, then choice, then manson, now it looks as if its doherty, dont know why ye had to pick him out of a bad bunch in the first half, about 2 players played well in the first half, then he scored a cracker in the 2nd half and played much better. i think he'll be a very good addition to the side and gives us good balance in the midfield
2 out of those 3 mentioned have been proven true and released by the club;). Like I said to jerry, nobody is picking on him or anything, he had a bad game and a few of us pointed that out. He didn't play much better in the 2nd half like you say imo, great goal but nothing else. He will have to improve, and I'm sure he will, surely you can admit that? Or would you be happy him playing like that the whole time[apart from the goal obviously]?Quote:
