Did burmley come back early for pre-season just to sit on top of Sheff United? 

It's clearly working. 3 points ahead with a superior goal difference. Well done Vinny.

Not seen much that’s been pretty to my eyes 😂

Wharton, Moran and Leonard on at HT for me. Needs a proper shake up. 

The two moves which resulted in a glaring miss from Brittain in the first few mins and the set-piece play which Szmodics shot and slipped. Those were some pretty passing football. Just a shame we didn't score either one. Those were big chances.

Tronstad and Wharton doing well so far.

Someone needs to bloody try and take a shot. Too much pretty-to-the-eye type of football. Swansea already has the ball 3 times in our net. Wahlstedt doesn't inspire me. Pears wont have much difficulty getting his shirt back.

It's a shame how badly he has regressed. When he burst into the scene, he was a joy to watch, always wanting to take on his player, very enthusiastic, always play with a smile on his face. Not sure if it's due to the death of his best mate.

Now he just passes the ball back, even when he takes on players, he cant get the ball out of his feet, misses sitters too. All is not well with him. To be fair to JDT, he's giving Dolan alot of chances to play.

This young guy badly needs to sort himself out.

We spent the last 45 seconds still trying to pass the ball out from defence. Unbelievable.

It's not suicide football though - our GK has thrown 2 in the back of the net and was VERY slow coming out for the 3rd. A good GK and we easily win this 3-1. He's an absolute clown. 

Aren't we watching the same game. He made a few good saves too. It could have been 6-3 or 7-3 EASILY.

Travis is playing too far high up, he should be helping Wharton in the middle. The hole in our center midfield is just ridiculous. Just give Wharton a rest, he's at walking pace.

I don’t understand our failures defending. I thought that was going to be the best part of our team. 
But we sell off Kaminski & Phillips. Those moves did not help us defensively this season. 

Same sentiments. Defence is supposedly our best department but we are conceding goals.

Im not sure if its due to A.Wharton playing just in front of the defence. Wharton can pick the ball and distribute for sure but he's also culpable of losing the ball in dangerous positions. Travis is sometimes played too far high up, trying to link up the attack when he's really not a good passer (or rather it's not his strength), his strength is breaking up play. Probably explains why he's seems more injury-prone now with all the lung-busting attacking runs upfield and on the flanks. There seems to be a "hole" in our midfield and i'm not sure if anyone else sees this too. They aren't protecting the defence well enough.

Tronstad needs to get up to speed. We are missing a really unfashionable yet reliable defensive CM. Just do simple things right - screen the defence, win and pick up loose balls, pass it on the attacking players, keep your position.

Totally deserved to lose. Too much cute football passing the ball around. We just dont have the players to finish the moves.

Gally is a still a joke. Travis shouldnt be anywhere in the attacking third - cant shoot cant pass. Hedges is seriously frustrating to watch - tries to be too fancy, keep passing when he's in a good position to shoot. And when he's one-on-one, he misses. The three of them should never be allowed to play as an attacking trio ever again. A. Wharton gives away too many balls. Horrible result. 

And Pears and S.Wharton are a comical pairing.

No, Gally will play and he will do the rock-the-cradle celebration after scoring a hat trick.

Totally deserved it.

We have a manager whos an ex striker yet we are so poor at taking shots.

Can we fcking try to shoot?

Can’t help but feel we’d be up 3 if Szmodics had finished the penalty 

how so? we have 0 shots on target.

Anyone outside of UK can watch the game on RoversTV?

Signed up for the season and i cant watch the first game!

Joke. Mistakes after mistakes. We make Millwall looks are Madrid.

We are SO BAD at chances creations. Millwall already has 4 shots, 2 in our net. Have we even gotten a shot away? All that stupid pointless xpassing at the back.

It's crazy WBA still has a chance like us to get into the playoff, thought they were out awhile ago.

Kudos to Coventry, came from nowhere and now safely in the playoffs. 

We only have ourselves to blame, and lady luck of course. Had we gotten a win or 2 from the last 7/8 games, we should be safe and dry too. Such a wasted opportunity.

One last game to go. Win at Millwall and pray we have some luck with the other 2 games. Squeaky bum time!

Same old story. Good football, plenty of possession but can't score.

Luton defence solid. We need a lucky good from somewhere. 

Luton should let us win this game so that we get in and they get to play us in the playoff as their reward.

We are in horrendous form compared to the rest of the playoff chasing pack.

Luton and Millwall are definitely beatable.

So are Stoke, Birmingham, Norwich, Hudds, Hull, Coventry, Preston. We only got just 4 points from these lot.

These last 2 games, we need more than Arte et Labore, we need our forwards to put away chances, we need JDT to stop mucking around subs, we need Lady Luck... and possibly black magic.

Even a set piece king will need someone/anyone who can head the ball into the net. We only have Gally.

Felt like Thomas is a wasted opportunity, just like Giles. Giles has 11 assists this season.

It's a day our boys must play like men. any player who cant give 100% can stay home with their pets. No half-arse performances. JDT needs to be equally smart in his game plan. Let's hope the entire team learnt something from the past 43 games.

Come on Rovers!

Sick of the sight of this fucking picture. 

Dingles plaster it all over the Rovers Twitter posts.

I hope JDT ask his coaching team to print this and paste this all over the training centre these few days too.

Team talk should be easy-

2 pictures on the board- Tella doing the 2-0 sign to Hyam and Barnes shoving TK into the net after he scored. 

3-0 actually. No chance of us doing that to them but let's pray for some luck, somehow.
