- Why does McFarland insist on Allot being on the pitch, today he has played right wing, right back and then replaced hursty on the left wing, would he still play if he nad two broken legs ??

- Why does McFarland seem to take off our best players in the game. Eg, Larkin/Hurst today and wednesday just for example but he seems to do this every game

- On a better note it was a good game today and the lads gave it their all

Wednesday, you could maybe say he was saving Hurst for today, however taking him off today just baffles me! Speaking to a Donny fan they asked me why the hell we took Hurst off he was our best player of the night because their right back couldnt keep up!

Allott is a good player think he breaks the opposition play up well and creates space for others!

Who else could we have taken off then?? I didn't think Husrt has great game today and Roy Mac did right in taking him off for Blathers.

Inevitably it killed the game though?

Allott has been solid all season.

Yes but we were drawing 3-3 at the time and down to ten men, we had to bring Blathers on because we only had 3 defenders on anyway. Hurst - like I said, didn't have the best of games did he?

Scored a screamer i believe, forced the defender to give the corner away for goal one!

And I think he actually scored in one game twice!

[Spireite_UK]

To be fair to him, I don't think he's put on the field to score goals, he's more of a holding player cross playmaker.

Im not saying he is a bad player, it just seems strange that he is very rarely rested and it is always someone else whose taken off

I agree, Allot and Hall never rested - Larkin always the first one to be subbed.
My subs today would have been Blathers for O'hare as soon as Kovacs was sent off and Folan on for Hall, but I was crap many years ago in Division 10 in the Sunday league and never played for Derby, the league champions or England so what the f do I know?

During the 10 minutes that Allott played right back, Sarfend had about 4 chances all created down their left side, including the corner that they scored from. Whenever something like this goes against us, like it did against Blackpool, the golden rule is to get a good solid back four in place as soon as possible. Blatherwick should have been on straight after the pen, with Picken at right back. After praising O'Hare for his best ever 45 minutes in a blue shirt, I thought he was at directly at fault with their first and third goals. He was dozing.

First goal was down to Barry Roche not Alan O'Hare

Wasn't the first goal the penalty? Or have I got that wrong? You'll have to forgive me if I have .

Yes it was, Roche's indecision and subsequent out of positioning led them to pass the ball around him for the shot that Kovacs "handled"

HA HA HA Funniest posting all night.
Read Dim View's post about Alan going to sleep - you must have been queuing for a pie and missed that bit.

I thought Roy's first sub today should have been Blatherwick to try and steady a very shaky defence which lost all its shape and nerve once Janos was sent off.
Folan did brilliant when he came on ,he always gives 110% but he lacks the goals.
I would have taken off Hall instead of Hurst,but I think Roy left it too late with Blathers.
What a superb performance today but Barry and Alan have got to concentrate more and cut out their costly mistakes.
The players must take heart from today#s battling performance and its up to us the fans to get behind the team next week at rotherham in massive numbers to get our promotion push back on track.
Peak said that two directors are coming on air next week to discuss the financial situation (are we in trouble again or are they about to spend some money on a striker?).
