Way too early to give up on this season after all it's only Sept.
It's not been good enough but last time we didn't get going until December and look where that got us.
I don't think PW will have thought about consolidation and Tony certainly won't after the investment in players he's made in the summer

I hope it is consolidation because this team would not get a point in the Championship.

A bit premature but it’s clear that tactics and defensive coaching are lacking.

We always seem poorer in the later stages, whether that's down to changing the shape, poor substitutions or fatigue (as probably was the case with Hastie and Morris) is debatable but today was definitely game, set and match to Darren Moore. The worrying thing is Warne has lost the tactical battle on most occasions this season and regularly fails to improve our performance when he does make changes. But, patience is the key for everyone, on and off the field...

Have a go next year

I agree about being too lightweight in midfield and disagree about have a go next year.
Didn’t go and had to rely on comms from Ronnie Moore and an ex Doncaster player, so could anyone that did go tell me why MacDonald was substituted ? Had he run out energy/ injured or tactical ?
We need a midfielder to hold onto the ball and slow the game down. Playing three young lads across midfield is always going to be difficult.
Plenty of time and points to aim for, it’s a marathon not a sprint. Issues need addressing Mr Warne.

Today the last 35 minutes were very poor. Most has been said. But lets deal with facts. Last season one of the main reasons we were relegated was loosing points from winning positions. 5 games in and 5 points lost from winning positions.

Macdonald was injured , for me he was having his best game for the Millers that I have seen. Although Donny was starting to dominate before he got injured it didn't help matters .

McDonald was not very good.I am disappointed with what I've seen.He is very slow,does not pass the ball very well, when he tackles he invariably fouls and no leadership qualities.He's no better than Potter.Alongside him today was an unfit Morris.No doubt who the best players on the park in the first half.The lad from Rangers,Hastie and Lindsey.We tired very badly after an hour and the substitutions did not improve the situation.There looked to far more tired players than Hastie but he was the first to be brought off.From that point we just invited them to attack us.

He was injured yes. He walked in front of the away end with his shin pad out and his sock rolled down.
