All the good work last week undone I guess. I can see this being a recurring theme this season.

What's most disappointing is that Rochdale were absolute sh!te.

I can't even motivate myself to complain. It's just the same old....and I'm not going to watch a whole season of it at £20+ a pop.

either he goes or I go. Thats it for me, also sick and tired of these fecking officials. unless Baker acts soon this club will be back in non-league - Yates has clearly lost the dressing room, some of the performances over the last 35 minutes were shocking. We tried to sit back on a 1-0 lead and paid the price.

Trying to hold out, if that happened, has proven to be a failed tactic for years. Home draws cost us last season and it is worrying Yates still persisted with with that today.

Keith Hill made changes to win the game. Tactically that was genius. I really don't know what the manager learnt in Turkey, but it ain't effective.

What must the lads on the bench think when a manager would rather watch a tired team lose a match than make changes to try and secure victory. I cannot defend Yates today purely due the lack of substitutions.

- Starting Mcglashan
- Failure to react to Rochdale's tactical change
- Not making a substitution

Yates errors are once again costing us.

That is an added factor they looked very mediocre and must have been amazed we gifted them a win when they never looked like scoring!

For me :

1 Rochdale looked a good side - plenty of crosses into box first half, good passing and movement - think the rain actually badly affected their game

2 I have to say I thought Keith Hill was nuts putting on 3 subs with over 20 mins to go ; proved a masterstroke

3 Russ Penn had a shocker - not just the miss, but consistent poor passing

4 I didn't think CBB played too bad - he could work on a decent final ball, but he pushed up well

5 Harrison and Cureton largely anonymous

6 Yates' failure not to change things was inexcusable. Gornell holds the ball up as well as anyone, Noble could have come on for Penn ; many other alternatives, to do nothing was shocking judgement

I still cannot have "next two games decide manager's future" , but Yates deserved the boos and if he was surprised by that (I cannot tell from where I am ) then it shows how badly he misread this game

If Penn was out wide then it's Yates who had the shocker, not Russ.

What that game needed was a goal in the first half. But you can't score if you don't hit the target and I don't recall a sinle effort that either keeper had to save.
Dale didn't play well at all until the substitutions - that changed everything.
Cheltenham fans will no doublt have thei own views about how much better Cheltenham played.
