Same old story

[karlos]

We should be out of sight with a decent striker.

[PDX_Rover]

Harsh. Hit the post. Their keeper made a few good stops.Their defenders made some very good last ditch tackles and blocks. Yes, we missed a couple but it wasn't like we were skying sitters.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

But it's not the same old story is it!

[karlos]

Yes it is draws won't get us promoted and all the missed chances need to be converted, and yes it was the same last year we just couldn't finish.!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

No it wasn't. We were playing well in patches but couldn't sustain performances over 90 minutes and in some instances the wheels were falling off completely. This team has produced much better performances over 90 minutes. The bar has been raised in terms of the standards from last season and you can see the potential for getting even better.

[coventryrover]

The same old story is that there is always someone having a whinge even though we have a fair result

[pib]

Imagine if we'd got beat!

[karlos]

So has our goals for record improved?

[acacia94]

That was a great performance today. Maybe not the deserved result but tremendous to watch. We'll beat a good proportion this season if we can keep that up.

[pib]

So has our goals for record improved?

In comparison to what?

A full season vs 6 matches?

[ian1980]

If we keep playing like that we’re in for a great season.

Did you go today Karlos? There is no way anyone can seriously come away from that game with anything to moan about. Thoroughly enjoyed it, very entertaining and much the better team.

Posh have come out of the starting blocks with a brilliant performance so far, so for Rovers to stop them on their own turf was an incredible result  backed up by the game stats. How anyone can complain at that result escapes me.

[ravenrover]

No but our points tally has increased by 1 which over a season is probably more important

  The two stupidest statements today, this by Karlos, and the radio Sheffield summarizer  who must have been in a cafe all afternoon and said in his report, "an even game with about the right result".

You have to admit it's messed your 6 from 6 up though

[selby]

 Raven, look on it that we took 2 points off Peterborough, the top side, away from home, it will look a lot better.

[ravenrover]

Sorry Selby you've lost me on that one, doesn't take much though these days😁

[graingrover]

This ranks among one of the best performaces I have seen from any Rovers side for many a season.

Seeing as I am in Switzerland no I didn't go but listened to the match, the facts are single points will not get us promoted and the fact is we are still not scoring. So I ask this question as our goal scoring recird improved from last season?

[besty]

Dont judge any team until at least 10-15 games,then feel free

[karlos]

I'm not I'm judging it on last season as well, look at the top 6 goals for antd that shows you what you need to succeed in this league.

[PDX_Rover]

Agree with Brian. It was one of the best performances for a long time. Everything about it. Movement, pressing, defending, attacking, discipline, getting a foot in when needed. Remember this is a Posh side scoring for fun. We dominated them for the vast majority of the game...

[goalkick]

As was it a good entertaining game against Pompey. Bring it on good football.

[ian1980]

How are we ‘still not scoring’

I’m sure I’ve just watched Marquis put one past the keeper today

[karlos]

22 shots 1 goal says it all

[Michael Shaw]

Table position after 6 games in previous seasons:-

2013-14  18th
2014-15  19th
2015-16  17th
2016-17   6th  (went on to be promoted from League 2)
2017-18  16th

This season we are 7th, only 1 place behind our promotion season. Who knows what will happen going forward but we have already drawn with Peterborough and Portsmouth.

Fatty Evans also said the same thing Brian.

Thought you said you were not going to waste your money going to Peterborough.
I said we would win and I don’t know how we managed not to.
Brilliant performance by all 11 players. Kane and Copps different class.
Best £21 spent on a football match for years. Fantastic entertainment for 94 mins Even Fatty Evans was entertaining.

[RedJ]

Really enjoyed the game, frustrated not to come away with more than a point as we should've won it and on another day they'd have copped an arseholing. Encouraging signs - and we've reacted well to recent poor displays.

Karlos

Name the striker you are continually proposing, or get off the pot...
