Leaky defence, poor finishing (Eaves especially at fault), no shape to our play - an overall easy touch. Rochdale won't have a simpler win all season. Can't fault the players for effort today (no one had a mare), but the lack of quality is plain to see. I can see why Lovell is raging against the players, but he's singularly failed to find a system that works. Teams just play through us.
I really had a little hope that we'd be better this season, but it looks like yet another battle against the drop. This time I really fear for us. You could see the players' self-belief evaporating in front of us. To survive, they need to perform at their very best, and they're not. The chairman has to take some blame. We clearly haven't invested enough in this squad and as a club we're going backwards. It's really no fun being a Gills fan at the moment.
