Sure if we lose he gets torn asunder for being useless.. and if he wins we get torn asunder for not playing this team Saturday night

Very disappointed with that team.

Wanted more of the younger lads to get more gametime rather than turn to mediocre players who haven't performed for years. For all the so called bull**** "project" talk, he is going short term here with a team that he hopes will grab a win rather than giving the actual future in players like Parrott and Knight game time and more experience.

Well its up to the likes of Hendrick and Brady to prove they have a roll to play going forward now

That’s it. A no win situation really. Hopefully we do get the win though.

What a great start. Not just the goal, but the whole start has been very positive.

**centre mid** · 30/03/2021, 6:50 PM

Really good start, great intensity and well worked goal

**osarusan** · 30/03/2021, 6:50 PM

Great start! Duffy absolutely flattening two Qataris to ensure McClean had a clear shot.

**pineapple stu** · 30/03/2021, 6:50 PM

And that is why Bazunu is at Rochdale...

Even if it was way outside the box FFS.

**centre mid** · 30/03/2021, 6:51 PM

Thata a mile outside the box FFS

**pineapple stu** · 30/03/2021, 6:52 PM

Fair dues to the ref there correcting himself at least.

**shakermaker1982** · 30/03/2021, 6:52 PM

Thank God for the linesman.

Conceded a free kick outside his area when 1 on 1 ?? bit harsh
great save subsequently

**shakermaker1982** · 30/03/2021, 6:57 PM

I didn’t expect Coleman at CB, Christie at RB & O’Shea at LB.

* or are we playing with WB?!

that wasn't a one-on-one. That was a complete rush of blood; he had no business coming for that ball. Similar thing in the Luxembourg game as well.

Absolutely the kind of thing that typifies a lower keeper. (Yes, he's 19 and has huge potential, but that's for the future)

**osarusan** · 30/03/2021, 7:02 PM

With Bazunu, and Travers before that, I wonder if they are trying too hard, in an effort to claim the GK position that is up for grabs.

We're looking outnumbered in midfield. One of the criticisms of Kenny so far has been that he's slow to adapt in a game, let's see if he can do something about that in the remaining time
