FT 1-0

[Canadian Rover]

Maxwell MOTM for me today.

[glosterred]

Full time 1-0, closer than I thought it would be. A decent performance but lacked quality in the final third

Onwards and Upward

Disappointing. But that sums up our away form, we've not played particularly well away from home often this season.  Frustrating thing for me today is the bench, what options were there to change the game?

[bpoolrover]

Cannot understand the manager every game he takes off our only players with any pace, we really need some new players not waiting till the last day when they fall through, some pace and creativity please

[anton123]

We are desperate for 3 or 4 new players to give us different options from bench ect or we can kiss playoff goodbye, come on now donny give schofield the tools he needs and we can make the top 7

Got bullied in midfield 2nd half against a good side. Close was a complete passenger for most of the game, for the few nice passes he does when he's not under pressure he offers us nothing. I'd like to see the goal again but it looked like no keeper in the world would have saved it. Anyone who's saying Mitchell's positioning was poor is wrong, he was exactly where he should be just a good strike unfortunately

[donnievic]

Agard for Hurst? Why not for Seaman and shift to a back 4? The over reliance and stubbornness of 5 at the back will cost us this season.

We seemed to have lost legs in the midfield the second half (probably as a result of sitting too deep)

And Donnievic that goal was completely Mitchell's fault. His positioning/reaction time was awful.

not sure where you think he should be positioned then if you think it was bad positioning

[normal rules]

First half very promising and at one point with an open goal I thought rovers might have took the lead. A few good chances first half just could get the shot through to goal with quite a few blocks by the o,s. Second half rovers just seemed to take their foot off the gas and it became a very defensive exercise. not a single shot on target tells the oh so familiar story. And orient are not as good as their league position shows. They will not win this league .

Just seen the goal on the match highlights.
No blame on Mitchell for the goal.
Any decent keeper would have positioned himself as he did.
