I was almost in line and y thought that we had edged in front. The Lino was behind play though. Nice to share a drink and a natter with Pancho Regan pre match in the Corn Dolly as well.It was a pleasure to meet you and your Granddaughter last night Idler, really enjoyed your company. We were the better team last night and I really enjoyed our performance. We deserved to win, no doubt about it. I was always a bit concerned that we didn't convert on of those chances we had, because at 1-0 it just takes one moment for the opposition to equalise, which is what happened. Two points dropped there but a very encouraging performance. I agree with all of that Neil. We just can’t seem to keep a clean sheet. I don’t know what game the ref was watching either. I’d love to see the assessor’s report. It seemed a long walk back to the car and no gym this morning as my leg and foot are killing me. Hopefully I’ll be OK to make it on Saturday.Maybe see you in the Corn Dolly when we play City next season? There will be a few more Rovers fans in if it is a Saturday. I’ll certainly have more family there if it is.

We look a much better side when Molyneux plays in my opinion. His absence v Walsall made a difference.

I'd go with that re: Moly. Definitely offer Maxwell and Faulkner something as well, and possibly Westbrooke (although if there is a cheaper alternative that can do the same job, I wouldn't be against it) and probably let go of the rest. Biggins has been decent recently but I still think we need better if we're serious about aiming for the top end of this league.As for last night, I thought we were decent for the first 80 minutes and looked good for a win. Frustrating that we couldn't get the 2nd goal to ensure the win, but I think we can be encouraged by the performance on a really difficult pitch. To say we're not the most "rough and ready" team I thought we handled it really well. I thought Craig was good, as was Maxwell, and Biggins had another decent game. Adelakun and Ironside weren't at their best but I think they can be forgiven for that, considering how well they've both done in previous games.

After this season can anyone tell me why Faulkner deserves a new contract? I get he's young and had potential but he has done absolutely nothing to warrant a new contract, hasn't been out on loan for the majority of the season, played very few games although has been injured but all that aside why does he deserve a new contract, he's brought less than Biggins to the team but people are happy to let him go but mention Faulkner and its like he's the messiah and he must be signed, what am I missing??
That's a really dissappinting goal to concede. Jamie Sterry is culpable there. The more I've seen of him, I don't think he's up to the standard we need
Really poor goalkeeping again. Same as the 3rd goal against Walsall.Not too surprising that such a young, inexperienced keeper is starting to make mistakes for all his promise.It may be best to take him out of the firing line at this point. He's here to help Rovers, and has done so, he's not here to have his confidence shattered by the club.I don't think Jones would have conceded either of the 2 goals I've referenced.
