The ricoh, especially in block 14/15/16and 17 had pretty good atmosphere over the last 2 seasons..

It would have been Alot louder than St Andrews today, to think anything else is just wrong and suggests a severe case of block 20 syndrome
My season ticket was in 15 but I moved over to 14 to get some atmosphere because it was dead. To suggest it was good over to 17 is nonsense.

It is extremely hard not to be critical of that miss though today.

This is a football fans forum, it is a place to critique players and their performances.

It is to be expected that we don't all think the same and it's also probably for the best that you don't read the forum if you are a player who can't take criticism

Yeah definitely I agree with that. If you have hundreds of people critiquing your profession on social media and forums it’d be hard to not have a look.

I can’t remember who it was now but an ex pro when he was playing made an account on his clubs forum and started posting loads of positive stuff about him as he was that insecure

Robbie Savage

Robbie Savage reveals he used aliases to write good things about himself online

Wonder if we have any on here :woot:

I sit in 16 and have done since god knows when... Its been a good atmosphere in these blocks for a couple of years now and is certainly not nonsense

The atmosphere from 18 down is absolutely dead

Baka needs to be moved on in January, he's simply not good enough.

I lost patience with him today, it usually takes Alot for me to gain it back for the player after its gone

Our idea of atmosphere is very different then.

Obviously... Because the difference between 15 and 14 is absolutely minimal, it extended out pretty well to 16 and 17, I know most the lads and lasses that sit up there in 15 and 14 lol

Why would you move from 15 to 14 to get some atmosphere, makes no sense

Because 90% of the time it was absolutely dead.

I don't know that was one of the main lads in 14 that I just asked so I'm not sure we see things the same

What utter tosh sat in 16 for years always good there.
Maybe should have turned your hearing aid on.

It’s obviously opinion. I regularly moved from 15 to 14 because the atmosphere wasn’t there. I don’t know what else I can say to you.

The majority of them read SBT and they are all sensitive about their performances.
That’s their own idiocy then isn’t it? What a stupid thing to do as a professional.

hilarious RE him pm’ing me and you “seeing how brave I am then...” because I said will he fuck read them. Also what am I supposed to be brave about, telling him that’s the worst miss I’ve ever seen in my life? Gladly.

Didn't see us winning that one after 30 mins! Great that we're picking up points with a patched up squad. If we can make it past Christmas and still be there or thereabouts thatd be a great effort.

Could do without the social media meltdowns with people slating Shipley and Walsh after about 20 mins. I feel for Baka, he puts the work in but he's just not very good. He's doing the best with the tools that he has.

That Bakayoko second half miss I just don’t know how when almost on the goal line he hit the ball and it went backwards an incredible miss. He’s gone backwards nowhere near good enough now

It was a fantastic clearance by Baka. If a defender had done it we would all of been saying amazing clearance to be facing the goal a couple.of yards out and clear it in the opposite direction.

Kasta is an odd one. Don't know if he has some sort of chronic injury or is just bone idle. For a professional sportsman to not be able to get fit over a long period is bizarre.

We got away with that today. We had much of the ball but it took a worldy to win it.
Allen, O'Hare, Kelly and Walsh will make us strong. Shipley and Westbrooke are too lighweight over 90 minutes.
Mcfazdean is the leader we need at the back and Biamou the man to get on the end of things while Godden is out.
But it's 3 points and MR's will be talking about the positives when really Rochdale had little to offer. Yep we got away with a win today with a scary at times weakened lineup.
I thought Westbrook was MoM yesterday.

Had Shipley missed the same chance his adoring public would have serenaded him with any of his songs to congratulate him. Bakayoko is one of the worst strikers ive seen at City but it is still double standards.

Bakayoko is categorically not one of our worst ever strikers. As others I’ve said he scores more than Fans hero McNulty at this level. What he is is a young lad low on confidence who, like all our other strikers, gets pretty poor service when on his own up top.

The miss was poor, we’ve seen all of our strikers miss open goals this season. Welcome to League One, where have you been the last few years?

They were 1 up by virtue of the one that went in. As we all know very well, hitting the post, having shots blocked or even having several shots that don't go in count for nothing except useless stats.
Good to see so many posts from you during the match, how do you make the time to come to your so insightful comments when you spend so much of it looking at a screen?
Something I can't understand either. How much of the game must be missed reading and then typing on here?

Can remember precious McNulty missing enough sitters. Chaplin was worse than Bakayoko for me

Badd miss put fsirplay won some big defensive headers at end

Hes not going anywhere till jan and even thrn its unlikely. We won the game so no need to dwell on it. He showed vs pboro he can finish. Lets judt try get best out of him whilst he wears cov shirt. Especially whilst other strikers are out!

Why is Shipley your go to player for anything negative? It is rubbish there’s blind love for him. He had a thread on here last season asking whether he’s good enough for the level

What puzzles me is he looked low in confidence against Accrington despite scoring in his previous 2 games.

Jordan Shipley this season
21 games 3 goals 3 assists

Tom bayliss last season

41 games 3 goals 3 assists

17 months age difference

Zain Westbrook

15 games 3 goals 4 assists

Westbrooke and Shipley have improved a lot and surprised me but if you go by stats then O’Hare is the worst of the lot which I don’t think many would agree with

On recent form I would though tbh

He's not doing bad though, 2 goals mostly off the bench

People like to say about O’Hare being the better player, but he doesn’t have the influence that Enobakhare did. Imo O’Hare’s miss against Colchester was worse than Bakayoko’s yesterday.

There is a mental problem with him, just doesn't have the aggression that good strikers need. I think the criticism of him otherwise is well OTT

There was a brilliant cross towards the end of the first half where a natural striker would have already started moving to get Infront of the defender, he doesn't do it and it's frustrating to watch
