This where gueye would look more dangerous than Ohashi, we're actually putting balls into the box

Gueye scores that header there. 

Yeah but he misses the Kargbo shot.

Nzonzi does not look like a footballer.

A great substitute for Rovers.

Clearly got a touch of class about him - a few nice touches - but his legs have absolutely gone. He can't move.

That's why he should've been on instead of ohashi

[Tom]

I’d take a point now, stop the rot at least but we could have won this 

[booth]

Alebiuso, fantastic player but evidently not a striker!

[cesus]

I was amazed Nzonzi was still playing ... I'm amazed Nzonzi is still playing.

Thought you were talking about the Kargbo header.

[Exiled_Rover]

Henriksson cannot get on the pitch. 

[RutlandRover]

De Neve has been a real surprise. He looks lightweight but he's been persistent and put in solid crosses and runs.

[RevidgeBlue]

Into October and are we on course for our first home League point?

Maybe this is what Gestede meant when he said it would be "exciting".

Edit: That's taking the piss out of Gueye bringing him on with 2 mins to go.

VI going for the throat, Gueye in 😆

goal, or red card, one or the other 

[B16Rover]

Would a 5 at the back with De Neve work? 

 

Part of me thinks Gueye up top with today's De Neve and Abeliousu scores a few.

Todd Cantwell awesome today, deserved a point after second half, but still going to be a long season.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Im sorry but its touch and go whether this Rovers side takes the drop or not.

We're poor fare and we all know it.

[WacoRover]

I’m elated with a point. 
That just shows what zero to low expectations does for you. 

[DE.]

Have to take a point gratefully in the circumstances, but it would have been more acceptable if we hadn't lost to Swansea midweek. 

Tough run of fixtures coming up. Really needed to win one of this or the last match, a single point from both is pretty disappointing. At least we're temporarily out of the relegation spots, I suppose. 

[RutlandRover]

Happy with a point. We deserved less based on the majority of that game.

We seem to swap to it quite often in the 2nd half of games, but we have no CB depth for 2 CBs, let alone 3, which means we'd end up with Pickering/Ribeiro/Miller as CBs which I'm not convinced by.

We don't have enough CBs to play with 3 of them on the pitch at the same time. Only have 4 of them (and 1 of those 4 some of you consider to be a RB).

[joey_big_nose]

I think id consider playing de neve at full back next game. Hes athletic like Alebiouso and it made quite a big difference.

Also super pleased that we actually managed to get a point back after going behind. We really needed that. And Kargbo looked like he has something.

Take a point to stop the rot.

Chuffed for Kargbo! 

[RevidgeBlue]

Tbf that last 10 -15 mins was much more like it.

Shouldn't have to wait until the 80th minute and a goal down to see a performance though.

Well done Cantwell and De Neve.

It’s genuinely a shit league. 
I know they were away from home, but if that Stoke team are top 6 quality then the rest must be absolute dross

Basically.

Based on the chances created we should have won it, but we desperately needed a result here - we've lost games we were the equal in, so at least we've come away with something.

It's going to be a long hard slog this year.
