Derek Underwood RIP He was a unique bowler, accurate, turned the ball sideways at a fair pace, unplayable at times, never seen a player like him That was in the days of uncovered pitches of course; whether he'd be as successful on the modern, flat tracks who knows?

Absolutely staggered by that after the Bristol debacle Will the real Rovers please stand up?

And but for the width of a crossbar we would have lost to Rotherham. The warning signs were there back then

Quite possible but still doesn’t mean the owners will depart. They’re rich and they’re arrogant and we’re just pawns in their vast empire.

Don’t understand this. Why would they leave if we went down? Why would one automatically lead to the other? Relegation is the worst thing that could happen.

I don’t understand this. As fans we do not deserve to be relegated. We’ve suffered enough. The players and managers deserve an almighty bollocking from the CEO (which won’t happen obviously) but fans deserve better. Much better

Decided not to go in the end. Best decision I’ve made in a while. Agree about the Wednesday match but I’ve a feeling it will go to the last game with us needing at least a point against Leicester to stay up

Totally unacceptable result and performance. The manager and the players should apologise to the fans who made a long journey to watch that capitulation.

And there’s the 5th to complete the humiliation. Assuming we lose to Leeds the Sheffield Wednesday game is taking on monumental proportions Based on tonight’s showing we’ll lose that too

A 4-0 defeat at Ashton Gate is a "result", albeit a bad one. Still contemplating going to this, but the thought of a weary 4-hour battle each way on the M6 and M5 doesn't appeal.

Keep up the good work old chap. Always entertaining!

Thanks.

And lots of others. Fills a shirt, and not much else

Never been to Ashton Gate so considering going as it might be my last opportunity to see a game this season. Does anyone know if we can pay on the gate?

I like baseball. Pace of the game and ambience very similar to cricket. I like watching the techniques of the bowlers (pitchers) and batters (now horribly used in cricket also). Went to the Red Sox v LA Angels game last year, low scoring game but v enjoyable. Back to the Saints game, a draw would be a good result against them. They're a good side with some talented players. Hope A Armstrong doesn't score.

Can we play north east teams every week?. Shame there's so few of them because we usually seem to do well. Back to earth with a bump I think with this one. 1-0 defeat with the immutable law of the ex in Adam Armstrong inevitably scoring the winner.

Branthwaite didn’t look the part at Rovers but has obviously improved since then. Harwood Bellis on the other hand looked top class to me and a future England player way ahead of Branthwaite To be fair to Mowbray among the flops the club got some excellent loans under him when you consider we’ve also had the likes of Tosin, Elliott, Reid and Giles, who looked an excellent left back when he was played in his proper position.

It's not new. It was a big problem under Mowbray and has continued. Points to lack of fitness maybe, poor concentration and poor game management - leaders on the pitch who know how to see out games.

How many goals have we given away not through poor defending but to downright bloody awful goalkeeping. It just should not happen at this level. Priority number one in the summer has to be a solid proven goalkeeper. He doesn’t have to be special, just one who doesn’t keep letting the team down with silly, basic mistakes

Football bloody hell. Sunderland safe and switched off for the season? It’s the only explanation. Very welcome though

Why does Chaddy bother attending matches when he knows we're going to win every game? It must be so boring. Looking beyond wind-up artistes, a draw would be a good result today

And that has achieved what exactly?

Is being useless transmissible? In which case almost the entire Rovers squad have been infected. I wouldn’t be bothered if he were out for the season seeing as he’s as much use as a chocolate fireguard even when he’s fit 1-1 would be a relief against the Black Cats. It’s the best we can hope for under the present circumstances

That hurts,, losing to a goal like that, a self inflicted wound. If we do manage to stay up it’s going to be by the skin of our teeth.

It’ll be especially painful if that rubbish goal proves to be the winner. Come on, Tomasson had to go
