I'm in china but after signed in I put my vpn to uk and it was much better, don't know why

Was the commentary working today?

Funny how all the U-23 results show how attacking this formation can be... with the right players. Also does this not only reflect well on Damien Johnson but also Eric Kinder? Was he the one who restructured the team and pushed the younger ones through early?

Great to read a few different views on the games and the youngsters, thanks to all who go and give their opinions

This may be true of some but in general I disagree and think that is unfair. It's true I hadn't given it thought before but upon finding out I do think it is very poor. I think that losing RR is disappointing even though I would have called it great, if there are good reasons for it I suggest the club communicate them.

I don't really get what your point is here, is there something wrong with people being outraged? I never thought about the blind fans but now it has been pointed out it seems pretty poor, especially the way it has been done, certainly the communication needs to be better. Also lots of people complain about Rovers and their football of recent years but we don't want it taken away. Being abroad most of the time I've listened A LOT via Rovers player, and sometimes complained and been annoyed but I've kept on paying for it.

if you go to the site there should be customer service online before the game

Is radio Rovers done or just not broadcasting on am/fm? i listened to the Coventry game and Neil was down my the commentary on his own but still there whilst the interviews questions were generally rubbish, lots of leading questions that almost answered themselves, I have a soft spot for Neil's commentary, generally for a club's radio and the restrictions that would naturally put on it (especially under venkys) I thought it was good. Maybe a bit biased and occasionally frustrating but I'd be disappointed if he was replaced, I've been listening for years and years due to being abroad. Ed, on the other hand, talks a fair bit of rubbish and sees everything blue and white specs, I'd be genuinely surprised if he got paid as he just seemed like an intern or Neil's mate

Whilst it's always great to win, we should be beating a L2 side that made SIX changes, so it's not surprising that we looked better than the weekend, and whilst 3 at the back ,ay have worked well it would be silly to use this game as evidence to say we look better with 3 rather than 4. Having said that with TM's preference for the full backs to play really high and provide width whichever formation he seems to play it might be better to have 3 in there rather than two. I don't think Williams or Nyambe are particularly good full backs but I think TM's tactics may make them look worse.

Generally since 1888

Young left back, came through the academy, our back up LB so far

Doyle on so Williams at CB, interested to see how they play like that as we need to know if Doyle is ready before the window closes. I suspect Williams may be better at CB than advanced LB or LWB like Mowbray like to play

He was bloody awful on Saturday so I'm not so sure

You can access it through matches the first team results. Same as live, mo commentary or anything different so worse than the old player. Also makes it much harder to not see the result as through desktop at least the status bar has little footballs showing when a goal is scored. Am I the only person who sometimes will watch the game the nest day having avoided seeing the result (which is getting much easier the worse we get ) ? Although it is great to be able to see matches live and the stream was fine (I was in Ireland with Astrill vpn set to Netherlands) no commentary even on the replay (which you have to wait almost 20 hours for) is poor. It's not a cheap service but am I being greedy?

I doubt the EFL are choosing to exclude UK customers, what would be their motivation? It's surely to do with regulations and previously signed contracts

Tomlinson looked almost ready in preseason in 2015, so it's good to hear he's really progressing now. Lowe isn't much of a footballer so I'd like to see Tomlinson on the pitch at some point over the weekend. Steele has been worse than usual recently so Raya should be given another chance, I would have liked to see him given the chance at the start of the season as at least he should improve and Steele has been going backwards. Mahoney, whilst still having a lot to learn, has played well since getting in the team and should be ahead of Feeny and Conway in my opinion, sure he makes mistakes but he created several chances on Saturday at least one should have been scored.

category 1

Absolutely awful what's happening in Turkey... Loved Howard Gayle, almost as much but not quite as much as Scott Sellars, it was at that time I first started going to matches. It's a pity the honours system is so anachronistic and dodgy (just a few, most well deserved) and lots of respect for HG turning down the MBE.

O'Sullivan said in a tweet that he's still working his way back to match fitness at the moment, so I hope he gets the chance to find the form that so impressed Barnsley fans last season. I've not seen him do anything outstanding yet but he's hardly had much of a chance at Rovers. I had hoped Bowyer would give him a run of 2 or three games at the end of last season but that wasn't to be. It doesn't look like he'd be a superstar for us but there's still a chance he might be a useful player, maybe like Judge, he needs a bit more football. Petschi has looked quite good for the U-21s from what people say and my own limited viewing ( 1 full match and some highlights ) he definitely looked like he had something about him, some potential, hopefully in the 6 months he has left he shows enough improvement. I don't really get it but sometimes it feels like we are keen to right off some players rather than give them as much of a chance as possible.

I don't think our opinions on him are that far apart, 2 years is plenty of time, a 5/10 manager isn't good enough for me, I just don't think he will take us down.

Neal, I'm no fan of the manager... Did you not read what I wrote? He's not very good just not terrible... Does that sound like I think we will get promoted? Maybe I didn't express myself clearly enough, I think the manager is poor but the squad is decent. Even more than that I think there's a lot of poor teams in this league.

Yeah, I'm quite angry with him at the moment, wouldn't cry if he left, but even if he's not very good, I don't think he's terrible. Plus I think if things go poorly enough he'll leave of his own accord. It's far too early to say but going off how close he's come to scoring in two sub appearances, we might have a 20+ striker already in Koita.

It is but have a relegation thread is a bit silly isn't it? IF Rhodes stays, I think he'll score more, if he leaves I think we will get someone in who can score a few, also Koita looks like he might be pretty good. As good as JR and Rudy were last season, it's a team game and we have finished 8th and 9th, not good enough but not awful. I think quite a few of the players are decent and after 2+ years the problem is the manager. The BIGGEST factor against us getting relegated is that although we might be poor so is the league and there are 6 or 7 worse teams minimum.

Even if Rhodes goes there's no way we are going down, I don't even think we'd be in a relegation fight. We lost to Wolves but we played well enough to draw and with a bit better from the officials we might have won. What's most frustrating about the team is that individually we have quite a few good players.

R.I.P. Kelbo, hope the family can take a small crumb of comfort from the fact he is so well regarded, even by strangers thousands of miles away. Always interesting and always respected
