    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

    Give the lad time to adjust to playing football on a bog. We did see what he can do when he scored that goal so I think he will come good eventually.

    Cant believe your judging this lad after half a game against coolaney,90 mins against Athlone and 67 mins against Finn Harps,who by the way has scored 2 world class goals and created the penalty at Athlone.Anyway keep slagging him off and when someone comes along and takes him away from rovers.Its a joke,dont you think our players look at the website.For gods sake hes been here 5 mins.

    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.

    I'm definitely going to give him a chance and I'm not going to judge him on a game or two but that doesn't change the fact that I thought he was poor against harps. 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!!

    Thumbs up

    No problem lads.I just think cookie is building a real good football side and as stated by many on the site our pitch his poor and the talented lads are going to have to adjust accordingly.I do think on the better pitches away from home we can tear teams apart.

    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]?

    I said we were playing Saturday, you said Friday. Looks like you were wrong.

    u want to have a read of my post before you go jumping in at the deep end.what i said was im not judging him and what's your first sentence...can't believe your judging this lad"!im not judging him at all,im saying he had a poor game but im not about to start judging people yet.anybody can have a bad game,therefore he will get the benefit of the doubt and will be judged over a period of time,same as any new player!
