Season is over. Don't like the thought of only getting in the play offs because of Bradford's points deduction.
Latus makes too many mistakes still at the moment but it was mainly down to the passion (or lack of it) in the first half.
Come on. 2-3 weeks ago Rovers primary cheerleader was waving his pom poms proclaiming your best SL finish was on. You'll make the play-offs, no question.

And rover, I won't go and pay 22 quid to watch a game that you cannot even see, last season when I went, I could not even see the big screen! never mind the match.

Firstly, FC deserved the win. They played a better game, had more passion and were a lot more creative than us. What i am about to post is not trying to take away anything from the win.
I listened to craig Sandercock in a pre-match interview and was in two minds whether to turn around and go home, the bloke showed no passion at all and basically said that the derby was a fans thing and the players and coaches didn't feel the same and it was just another game. Well Craig, you certainly have rubbed some of it off on the players as they played with no desire or passion for most of the game. One bloke near me said (and I had to agree) 'what we miss this season is Newton and Cockayne because those two would not have given up'
McDonnell isn't interested, he has his thoughts on pastures new, and we all know where he is going (he did his new employers a good turn tonight). Get shut now.
Latus isn't good enough, he was laughable tonight.
Our forwards are suppose to be twice the pack FC have, but they cannot offload to save their lives while FC offloaded at will and kept it alive.
Dobsons kicking game is awful recently and why the hell do we persist in kicking a short touch when we gat a penalty, get it upfield to save the forwards hard yards.
Green is poor lately, his options were terrible tonight.
We could see Whitings try coming two passes before, so why couldn't our defenders, why the hell was the two smallest men on our side (Dobbo and Withers) the only ones defending the corner, he was through before he got the ball. Our line defence is absolutely garbage.
Why did we take the two after a couple of minutes, it signalled a lack of confidence in attack and FC smelt it and it gave them a boost. Can you imagine Morgan allowing that to happen, he would have kicked some ar$es if they had gone for two so early in his reign. Most of us stood where I was stood feared the worst when we took that option.
We need a clear out, but sadly i doubt we can afford it. We need someone who can coach the pack to offload every so often, rather than just be battering rams.
Most of all, we need some heart and passion in the shirt, something we have always had in the SL era, but sadly now it has gone.
