Quote from: Rigoglioso on March 15, 2019, 10:40:20 pmWell it won't live too long in the memory!Thought Rovers just about shaded things though a point was undoubtedly the fair result.I know it's commonplace to try and discredit the opposition in local derbies, make out they're crap, etc, but that double save from the goalkeeper in the first five minutes was unbelievable. Deserves massive credit for that.Not a great game for Marquis, as said elsewhere, and Barnsley kept him very quiet. His decision-making at times left a lot to be desired, but his record speaks for itself and he's going through a tricky patch. He needs folks' support in this moment and not OTT criticism.Their No.12, can't remember his name, was equally as bad with the decision-making. There were a couple of times he clung onto the ball for dear life when he had better options either side, who might have ultimately created a clearer opening.No damage in the result as there's plenty of games left - nothing's decided tonight - and I think both sides will be content with a point.Over to the teams tomorrow now who have all the pressure on them as they're in the chasing pack.The double save was decent but unbelievable? The save from Wilks’ header was regulation and he had plenty of time to get up and prepare himself for Marquis to shoot straight at him - with the amount of time in between the two saves I’m not even sure it would qualify as a double save!Agree that a point was a fair result - we dominated the first half but they settled in and were much better in the second.

Absolutely fair play to him.Shame it didn’t go in, mind you, as Barnsley would have then had to come out their shell and be more inventive from very early on.

Our first half performance was dreadful , we just couldn't keep the ball , Rovers pressed us to good effect and the shape and balance of the side looked all over the place .Mowatt who normally bosses the midfield was anonymous , not helped by the injury to Dougall in all fairness .Whiteman and Wilks caused us problems , half time still level couldn't come soon enough for this tyke .Second half we were much better if still below par , Fryers nullified Wilks and Mowatt started to become more influential .Pinnock and Lindsay were immense , as they have for most of this season .Happy enough with the point given the circumstances and we move on .I think both teams will fulfill their ambitions this season , we will get the second automatic spot and Rovers a play off place , I can't be certain you will win the play offs because in reality nobody can be sure of that .Good luck though , both clubs in the championship next season would be terrific with the millers staying up too .

Quote from: DINGLE on March 16, 2019, 03:07:04 pmIf we finish third we won’t go up Coventry are a bogey side for us. Given all their issues will Coventry even be allowed to compete in the play-offs, should they get there?

Be big enough to call it how it is.You can now go on to tell me how much higher in the table you are, but you don’t get the bragging rights from us this season.
Pancho - drawing both games, I don’t think we’ve got any bragging rights either. A draw was a fair point on Friday as well - no robbery this time around.

Just confirmed that our Kenny Dougall broke his leg on friday night and he's obviously out for the rest of the season .One of those things really , certainly no intent from the Rovers lad and just two committed players challenging for the ball .Kenny even tried playing on for a spell , good grief .Just got to get on with it and I'm sure we all wish Kenny a speedy recovery .
Bit of a dick move from our fans booing someone with a broken leg for not rushing off.

It is so refreshing to have sensible banter with opposition fans. Shame a few idiots always want to come on here and make derisory comments. That’s both Rovers and other club supporters of course.All the best Tyke until we play you in the play off Semi finals.Sorry have a gut feeling Sunderland are just going to pip you for 2nd.You will be pleased to know i am usually wrong.
