But nothing is likely to change though. If we give him 20 games it's very likely that by then we will have just completely wasted the season. We have some good players, regardless of Moore, so we will win games here and there. But if you're not fooled by the score-line today, getting battered by Barrow and Doncaster should not be deemed as acceptable in any shape or form.

But you're missing my point. It's not about me. It's about what Carol will do. And I don't think she'll get rid of DM early doors. Her track record is to give managers a 'reasonable' amount of time based on the circumstances at the time.

Give over. They were miles better, especially in attack. 

I disagree.

They just looked like a team who been playing together for a while (which they have) & they had Sharp & Molyneux up the top end of the pitch. At no point did I think we were being totally outplayed by them. Both teams had little spells, ours coming at the end of both halves. They were clinical, we were not. Stats back this up.

I see. Well I just hope if things don't change dramatically she doesn't delay what seems the inevitable for too long. It's not fair on supporters or the next manager, whoever it may be.

We had 10 minutes in the first half which was from the momentum of the equaliser which got the crowd up. Then we were the better side while chasing the game in the last 5 minutes of normal time and the 8 minutes of extra-time. For most of the game they were on a different level to us. Fortunately there won't be many better sides to play than Doncaster this season. But many aspects of our performance were still rubbish.

I have my doubts about the manager, but this is how I saw it too.

Ok,no need to lay it on with a trowel...

As days go….

6 hours on Ticketmaster only to get “session suspended”. They have one job to do FFS.

Then….

Having to watch a Moore masterclass

Now….

Leaving Cornwall for Stone. But that find because nothing bad ever happens on the A30 / M5 / M6 on a Saturday afternoon. Ever.

Wish me luck.

Not saying we were great, but different level? Nah.

Their attack certainly was. Paton did nothing, but he's not being given a chance by Moore. Curtis was dreadful, and completely overshadowed by Molyneux. Tolaj got a nice assist but is just not a goal threat from out wide. Didn't we sign him to score goals?

Add to that the fact that Garrity and Croasdale are both grinders, not ball players, in the middle of the park. And a defence that looks absolutely abysmal against any sort of lively attack. If it wasn't for a soft penalty they conceded which put them under pressure in extra-time they would have seen the game out comfortably.

Totally agree! Doncaster weren't that good. In fact that was one of the few positives I took away: If Donnie are one of the better sides in the league, then we 'shouldn't' have much to worry about.

4 points from 12 is a lot to worry about.

No it isn't. However, 17 points from 69 is very concerning.

After the signings we made this summer there isn't a single member here that would have thought we would have only assembled 4 points after 4 games. It's shocking.

Even 2-3 massively flattered us. 

Why

We were all over them the last 10 mins. Even if we'd have played brilliantly and drawn 3-3 it's all about sticking the ball in the next - as others have said, Conor came close, we had one cleared off the line, should we have had another pen.

People saying we were garbage is simply wrong. Their goals were quite good and they weren't a bad side. 

WE just need to improve by a small margin in each area. That should come in time. 

This hatred of Moore is getting rediculous

Some….i never wanted him in the first place, can’t understand why we gave someone a 5 year contract after how they performed at Huddersfield.

What about him taking Wednesday up...??
