Before I start I'd like to say I'm DC's biggest fan, so this isn't a anti-DC post.
Why the need for such drastic changes in our tactics? Aldershot at home we were at 'em from the start, on the front foot they didn't know how to handle it. Today was the exact opposite, sit back and see what happens! Why change a winning formula?
I've said from game one we will win this league, after today I'm not to sure. Think Barnet will need to mess up big time, cant see it happening somehow.

I dont think it was a drastic change in tactics, you are obviously going to approach a game at home vs strugglers differently than a game away against a title contender. It was out of our hands before and it still is now, need to keep pushing on though as Barnet and Grimsby are prone to a dodgy result and anything can still happen.

More to the point Macclesfield were at us from the off and we couldn't settle and play any type of game at all. Combined with having a non existent and one if the worst mid fields I can remember supporting Rovers, coming away with a point is good. Enough said. Moving swiftly on.

Does accurate passing of the ball, and being able to retain the ball for more than several seconds at a time come under the heading of ''Tactics?'' If they do, then throw them both into the pot.
But if they don't qualify, then they should . . . at least somewhere in the grand scheme of things. Woeful on both counts, irrespective of how it all pans out.

Moving swiftly on. which is why we are where we are We are where we are due to years of mismanagement from top to bottom not because of a non existent midfield v macclesfield on the 28th March 2015!!

The fact Macc were at us from the start had nothing to do with tactics it was because they had a much better clue how big a factor the wind would be than we did and so they knew they had to come out flying. I don't think we realised quite how much of an impact it was going to have. It wasn't that strong in the area generally but the ground creates a weird wind tunnel effect.

They were all over us like a rash and we had no time on the ball so effectively stifling any tactics which may have been. if Macclesfield stood off and let rovers play their game the outcome may have been different. But I much doubt it. not one rovers player got into the game and that's down to Macclesfield not the wind. imo.

But lets play the game. They were at us from the off, but we have better players in every position, evidentially. Where is the leadership on and off the pitch to challenge them? Do we just role over and play dead? It looks like the answer was yes. And that is my biggest doubt about the manager, is he a leader? Or a textbook tactician?

Who said otherwise regarding Macclesfield ? You don't agree with me yet say they were at us from the off?As for leadership, it didn't appear to me that there was one out there. They are men who know there roles,they should take the lead when they are on that pitch. Not hide. as for Darrel Clarke I think he is doing a good job at a demoralised club which is in progress of rebuilding from the bottom up. he doesn't always get things right being young and learning but there you go. The difference from the Aldershot game on Friday to today is shocking. Largely the same players so it's anyone's guess as to why but it does happen too often. if anything oldie it does give you and the other Rovers haters something to chew on for a couple of minutes. So there is a bright side to the Rovers drawing at little old Macclesfield

Macclesfield are a much better team than bloody aldershot Exactly were people just expecting them to roll over, despite their poor recent form they are still in a play off position. I think they have the 2nd best home record in the league and the 2nd best defensive record, we were poor in the first half but as usual played far better in the 2nd half. We're not out of this by a long way.....

Macclesfield are a much better team than bloody aldershot So what if they are. The difference from Rovers were polar bloody opposites from Friday nght,with Rovers offering bloody nothing. not one attempt on goal in 45 minutes! it was embarrassing to watch, regardless. If you think otherwise that's up to you. I've seen better over my local park on a Sunday morning,which I shall be going in the morning to watch a better game than today even tho half the team will be hungover

strange comments from the usual idiots on here,,,it was a tough game against a good team in our league,,,i was annoyed we didnt pass the ball better and today at times our midfield did struggle but in the 2nd half lines and lockyer started to assert themselves on macclesfield, we really needed to win but the cheap shot posts from some on here beggars belief
