I wonder if the Rovers TV guys know that no one is listening to them. I can imagine them happily chatting away, completely oblivious to not being on the air. 

In the past I think this has happened. Quite regularly the commentary would go silent during the league one season!

Yes I am. Clearly not a dive 'ffs'. Not a penalty either, just fell under pressure. Horseshit yellow card.

Some people have such a lack of objectivity. Ref has been fine.

Every bloody week we get booked for dissent and cynical fouls. They only get booked for leg breakers. That's ANOTHER horror tackle on Wharton. 

[BigBar]

Giles looks very useful

[Tom]

Buckley was lucky not to be booked when he kicked the ball away earlier anyway, needs to reign in the silly bookings 

[RTM08]

Does every ref in this league think that every foul is a card? Last few games have been carnage in that regard.

Never, solid yellow that 

[Darrenbot]

Get BBD on at HT and he'll get at least 2 goals in the 2nd half off Giles' crosses.

[OsloRover]

Change it up Tony, we’ve got noone in front of goal

[OldEwoodBlue]

Lovely ball into the box there. Nobody from Rovers even interested in attacking it.

Desperately need someone on the pitch with some goalscoring instinct. It's painful to watch the current front line try to be threatening. Giles has looked good but has nothing to work with.

We have yet to see Nyambe take on manning e outpaces him by miles but repeatedly returns back

[belfast_rover]

This Swansea side are apalling, trying to play pretty football and just keep handing us the ball which we do nothing with. 

[Hasta]

What’s annoying is that Swansea simply aren’t very good.

That's a late lunge that could have broken his leg. Ball was long gone - a forward's tackle, but still a red card. 

[Doug]

Buckley off Diaz on please 

[SoldierMo]

This is why we needed to sign a striker bloody costly

Some people might, but that's not what I'm guilty of here. Ref has been poor, as usual. I also disagreed with one of the yellows Swansea received. But I guess I'm just not objective.

[Mr. E]

Crazy not to start Brereton. Even at 50% he should have started. As mentioned we are playing with no one upfront and it shows massively. Crying out for a striker.

In fairness we haven't been since the end of December either. 

[TheRoversReturn]

This game is there for the taking but we have nothing up front.

Think they'd have been in trouble in this game with a fully fit BBD and Khadra.
