Makes me laugh how modern keepers punch and punch… until defending a lead late on, they then suddenly remember how to catch again (with elaborate falls to the ground wasting thirty seconds) 😅

Can understand (🤣) why Leeds fans were annoyed with Pears taking his time but he was given a yellow card which doesn't always happen when an away keeper does this at Ewood. Seen a lot worse so a little bit of pay back.

Still bouncy on the result, the way we scored & Rovers fans reaction when players came over after game with the "we are staying up, we are staying up...." sound hitting the airways.

Outstanding Team effort including fan backing too. 

Personally for me beating Leeds at their place the way we did is the result of the season.

Bristol C 0 Hudds 0  HT

Typical Bristol haven't had a shot in the first half, Hudds have had 5.

Like someone said, they're on the beach.

GOAL!!!!!

Mercer!!

1700 Rovers fans going to Leeds today. Great effort and probably the one constant of recent times.

 

This is brilliant! 

Bad shocking embarassing performance all round. Fans deserve a refund, apology with venkys walking away after sacking Waggott, and LT need to lead the way with some true publicity about mismanagement of Rovers.

LT reporter didn't hold back on criticising Hyam during the game yet he gave him 3/10.

looks like we're trying to go down.

1 change - Markanday for Hedges

Deserves a start. Up against it tonight & it's a game I'd be happy with a point but we need 3.

If you watch the sky coverage it shows that replay during the main the game from 38.40 onwards. I can't post the video on here (on which Don Goodman actually changes his mind about whether he's offside when he sees it), but can only post the stills in sequence.

If you still think this clearly in the keepers line of vision then fine, but I disagree.

edit - I'm just going to crop and repost these to make them bigger.

 

 

 

 

 

The assistant on Jack Walker side had no right to raise his flag. On what evidence without VAR could he see Szmodic was in line. The interfering with play bit is a talking point for the ref to make a decision but Atwell cancelled the goal without talking to his assistant.

Diabolical decision which will help Atwell and other refs officiate next time a similar action happens but sadly cost us.

Atwell got wound up when Ipswitch started wasted time, crowd got agitated and he didn't know how to deal with it. The goal that was disallowed when Sammie was in the eye of the keeper, which TV replays show was incorrect, was disallowed quite a while after ball his the net. This suggests the linesman had some doubt so why didn't Atwell go over to have a chat with him? Probably because he was wound up and couldn't focus.

We've witnessed a poor ref. Yet he a rising star and we'll see more of him officiating top games. Like in all jobs he'll learn from his mistakes.

Lots of blame towards the ref including from no excuses Eustace. They could have had a penalty and Brittain sent off after 5 minutes.

So that shows what a poor ref (premiership too) he was today. The game was full of bad decisions.

Game should be abandoned due to incompetent officials.

QPR & Stoke big winners. We need 3 points today. COYB

Why has it taken until 25th March for this story to hit the press?

Very good open game of football between United and Liverpool. Very enjoyable for the neutral fan to watch. 

Cracking game. Thought the ref should have used decression when he gave a second yellow for player celebration. Winning goal with 10 seconds to go and he applies the letter of the law. 

Chelsea in blue Leicester in dark blue. Easy on the eye close up but on long shots crazy. Whoever made that decisionneeds a bollocking.

Good business there Rovers. Sell our best player for at least half of his actual worth and reinvest absolutely nothing. 

Almost as though they are trying to deliberately get us relegated.....

And to rub salt in, Rovers ceo (well I mean that chap who works for venkys) states we might even make a profif this year. Music to venky's ears because their ownership of Rovers is nothing to do with football.

My thoughts on the game are,

We started the game really well and on the front foot and Szmodics scored a good goal from good play from Ayari, and I thought we would win the game. After Sigurdsson missed that great chance, Plymouth took over the rest of the first half by playing some good passing football and making with real width and playing balls over the top/in between Wharton and McFadzean. We played far too high and allow Hardie to simply run in behind time after time. Plymouth missed a number of great chances and I was relieved to get to half time with us winning. I expect changes to the team cos Wahlstedt looked injured during the first half making a save at the Plymouth player feet. I expect Hedges to come on for McFadzean at half time with us moving to 4-4-2 or stick with 3 at the back with Pickering moving to centre back and Hedges at half time. Plus Michalski coming on for his debut for the Injured Wahlstedt. I was very surprised no changes at half time. 

We started the second half well but then we were too high again and Hardie run in behind and McFadzean fouled him. I don't know how bad it was or whether it was soft but it could have been avoid if if Eustace had sub McFadzean off for Chrisene or Hedges. 

After that it would tough and Plymouth carried on with playing attacking football and making the pitch as big as possible but they couldn't find a goal. Rovers had a couple of half chances but nothing more. When we would the ball back we were too quick to give it back to them. 

Ayari was our best player for me. Szmodics played well. Wahlstedt and Hyam also had decent games. 

Plymouth exploited the wide areas alot and their number 2 Mumba was their best player for me. Also Wharton and McFadzean slowest at turning behind them

So overall, its another point and its 8 points from 8 games since JDT left, and after today's games we are 3 points clear.

Its a big week for Eustace cos he has a full week of training to get his ways and methods he wants and get 3 points at Boro next Saturday we badly need.  I would like us to set either 4-4-1-1 or 3-5-2 next week at Boro. 

P.S. I didn't understand the booing of Ash Phillips or the booing at full time either. 

Also the officials were awful and one of the worst displays I've seen all season. 

Some good points Chaddy. Eustace should have spotted McFadzean was too slow in first half and done something about it. First ten minutes and our keeper hadn't touch the ball. Then we scored, should have had two but then they realised how poor our defense is and with us down to 10 & all stats heavily agains us Plymouth should have won.

Agree no need for booing, the team played to their abililities and deserved credit for holding on to a point. I don't agree with Venkys non show etc but on match days players need our support.

No doubt who player of the season is and I doubt if Sammie will be at Ewood next season.

Rovers players showing appreciation to fans as they leave pitch. Good to see.

Moran cost us that game.

Little else to say.

Can't see how Moran plays again because this isn't the first time he's been not good enough. Unless there's something in that loan contract??

Swans will be bragging about winning at Sunderland but Tuesday's cup game must have put some confidence in the team that have drawn last 3 games or even 4 if you include aet result on Tuesday. Hoping we're beginning to see the change and we come away with a 1 2 victory.
