i agreed with this. Pears should have taken his chance and try to catch the ball after the miskick (since it was unintentional). Probably that's what the ref came over and spoke to him about. "You could have caught the ball and it will be okay, son".

If the players have not in 1 second think we are in a relegation battle this season, i think its still not too late to start thinking now.

No way we are beating Coventry after seeing their comeback against Man Utd in the FA Cup. Expecting a heavy loss, uninterested players, a couple of individual mistakes again from our comical Hyam/Pears combo. Maybe Sammie will sneak one for us.

Oh, was that the reason? I thought Sammie was signalling to Gally "now you and i need to score 2 goals".

I've always been on Pears side but today's just shown he will always have an error in him. If we can get rid of him along with the Swedish guy, lets just start afresh looking for 2 new keepers next season. Pears is always making the wrong decisions. This is why you arent good with the ball at your feet, stop passing around in your penalty area and invite unnecessary pressure. Any chance of us coming back into the game was gone when Pears and Hyam messed that up. And don't get me started on 'captain' Hyam. How did he get POTS last season, we must have been really shite.

Wed deserves to win, they have a game plan, players who wants to stay up. we on the other are so complacent, lack of ideas, relying only on Sammie for goals.

we need a new team!

a trio of premier league loanees to save us. hahah

a bunch of soft pussies.

Sunderland are so shite at home.

I want Hudds and Sorba to go down.

Credit when it's due. Gally won his most important header of his entire Rovers career.

FARKING BRILLIANT!

Woke up from my alarm and watched the game at 2.45am. Bad mistake. Definitely the worst performance this season - lack of fight, lack of skills, lack of leadership, lack of tactics, all around poor poor poor. Please be ashamed of yourselves the entire Rovers team. Hyam - what a joke of a captain/CB. made so many mistakes, 3 of them led to goals. First goal, poor soft touch/backpass to Pears, second goal - reckless tackle in the box (i really do think he wants to be sent off to get out of the game), third goal - was shielding the ball but allowed the Bristol attacker to sneak the ball of him and score. No leadership, no pace, no confidence. The rest of the team are equally poor. I actually thought Wharton did quite okay but was strangely subbed out in the 2nd half (Hyam should have subbed out). Pears - was there anything he could possibly prevented? Kept the score down. Pickering poor and weak as usual. Brittain mindless defending, no threat on the wings, being asked too much to provide an attacking outlet. Tronstad/JRC completely overran in center midfield, Dilan a couple of weak attempts on goal, not the worst on the pitch. Dolan, did nothing except passing back. Szmodics, a tired performance from him, should have put the ball in the net when it was 0-2. Gally, big lump, poor control, cant direct his header, our Number 9. The subs - no one came on to change the game, probably McFadzen, joined Hyam to gift further goals. Kudos to Bristol City. Didnt even have to try. They were solid and disciplined and executed their game plan. Experienced bench players came on to seal the easiest victory they will have in a long time.

Good point against a top 4 team. Although we should be more disappointed than them not winning this game. Saints seem to have some good players but dont really play well as a team. If there's a team who had more desire and wants to win the game in the 2nd half, it was us. Markanday was refreshingly strong, got into the game and certainly look to create things. Gally is a strange one, won alot of headers but he doesnt direct his headers to a running team mate. he seems to just touch the ball with his head for the sake of it. does put in plenty energy, hard running, winning the ball back etc but ultimately, he's a forward. He needs goals. Tronstad was good again and so was Wharton. Dolan wasn't too bad either, even thought he got a YC, he was still trying to make things happen. JRC was just okay. Sammie should have put the chance in the first half away. Otherwise, it was a competent performance. Its just a shame some results elsewhere didn't help. We just have to keep focusing on our performance and results and that's all it matters.

Everything went our way today! Finally we had some luck. Best April Fool's Day in years. Hyam was near perfect today. Szmodics clinical. Hedges is a rolls royce, keep him fit and we are good. The subs today were good. Rovers and Eustace deserved this victory. Let's get a couple more wins and we should be safe.

I don't think the players believe in themselves either. Just pray our goal difference wont get a big hit.

Just watched Ipswich 6-0 trashing of Wednesday. Killed off any hopes of me thinking that Rovers will remotely get anything out of this game. Their Omari Hutchinson will shred our defence to bits.

Let Damien Johnson have a go at managing this game.

one fat point and clean sheet. hope it will come in handy end of the season. most of the results went our way so overall a positive result.

4-1 to Boro. Nothing to suggest from Plymouth game that we are able to pull of a win here.

All from Wharton's piss poor pass again!

we look so timid. attacking build up play is almost non-existent. 3 big lumps at the back, 2 useless fullbacks. somehow we are 1-0 up. hope we can limp our way to full time.

Good feeling about this. 5-1 to Rovers. Sammi brace, Gally hat trick. Leo OG. Let's go Rovers!

This season, it's so hard to predict how many points for safety as they are a shitload of teams in the mix for the last 2 bottom spots. All the teams below us has gotten at least 6 points in their last 5, except Rotherham. The faster we get some wins under our belt the better but we just totally forgotten how to beat teams. I just don't know where are we getting the wins from. Plymouth, Bristol city and Wednesday games are must-win for us. Hoping Leeds and Leicester will be promoted by the time we face them. Last season. 22nd was 44 points 21/22. 22nd was 37 points
