We lost today because we were on tv and because of Billy Sharp?

And “personally I’m happy”?

Thats me done for the night. 
 

What ridiculous statements. 

Nighty, night.  You stick to your 4-4-2 and telling the players to “play football”.👍🏻

That would be much more preferable than playing 5-4-1 and telling your players to just stay in games.

2 holding midfielders and 5 at the back is ridiculous. It’s ultra-defensive, doesn't stop the goals and prevents us from scoring. Personally I hate it.

And when the consistency doesn't happen, because Moore is simply a poor manager, I hope you and a few others here will finally accept it and seriously question whether he's the right man for the job. He's won 7 games over the best part of 2 years. He can only hide behind excuses for so long.

You mean “if” not “when” because you have about as much idea as the future as I do.  I’m sure if results and performances don’t improve I’m big enough to take it on the chin but what I would say is that if results do improve will you admit that’s down to the manager too?  Or are you one of these who put all the blame on the manager when things go wrong but praise the players when things go right?

As I've said a hundred times before, opinions are there to be changed. If Moore starts to actually deserve praise he will rightly get it. I have zero belief im him though and it seems more and more are starting to feel the same.

Are we playing 5-4-1?  3-4-2-1?  3-4-3? Pick some other numbers?  And if you honestly think Moore is telling the players “just to stay in games” then you’re either on the same dust as Spunkers or thick as pig💩

Just a manager that has a connection with the fans would be a start. 
 

I see no personality and connection with Moore whatsoever. 
Which is ok if we are playing bad and winning. But we’re playing dreadful and getting battered. In league <ovf censored> two. 

I'd take Ryan Lowe 

That was a good

Missed out on the playoffs in his first season, cut short by COVID, and jumped ship for The Owls when they were in the playoffs in his second season.  Possibly their cries were more out of bitterness more than anything?  Just a though.

Possibly, but he is a cautious manager, acceptable if results get promotion. But has plenty of attackers in the squad so I expect a more positive start early against Chesterfield, containment being the priority against Newport. Glimmers of hope required over the next fortnight.

That’s possibly true, you do say the same things repeatedly.  There’s probably a diagnosis out there if you care to look.

Nobody is blind to the fact Moore couldn’t turn us round last season.  He, we, haven’t had the ideal start to this season.  Like it or not we do have to allow for the players to get some sort of understanding after such a complete rebuild.  After half a dozen more games we’ll have a better picture.  Beyond that results will dictate.  You’re writing the team off before giving them much of a chance.

I think we can all debate today until the cows come home but the reaction of Doncaster fans should open peoples eyes who are too stubborn.

Cries of “Darren Moore your football is <ovf censored>” from an away end should send alarm bells ringing through the club and the fanbase and if it doesn’t then we are ignorant as a collective. 
 

They’ve experienced his style of play. 
 

And now here we are. 

Obviously his style of play did not form part of the bespoke 3 hour facetime interview conducted by our governors. (or did it?)

Where does Garrity play?

As an advanced midfielder 👌

Instead of being asked to play deeper
