Flung the doors of the Lucky Pint open a bit early tonight.
An hour until team news, how we feeling.
Can't help but feel optimistic!
-
Nervous.
I have gone for a loss on PvO but that was a couple of days ago.
I am thinking back to how good we were for half an hour on Saturday and hope that we can do the same, score and carry on in the same vein.
Rotherham are a very strong team though and I know they will bombard us.
-
I think if we lose by the odd goal then that has to be seen as progress.
Hoping for a draw
-
We will have to see if our performance as improved against Rotherham tonight. Games are about the result I do not see anything but win for Rotherham and unfortunately I believe it will be more than 2 clear goals.
-
Very interesting team line-up, you can't accuse Gary McSheffrey of playing it safe with his picks!
-
That's interesting!
-
What's the team line-up?
-
Surprised he's dropped Galbraith and Martin to the bench and new keeper in.
Back three. Clayton flanked by Seaman and Horton on flanks. Smith and Rowe plus same starting front two.
Just concerned we won't be as fluid going forward but what do I know.
-
and a really strong bench FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON not just today
-
Don’t usually bet but I’ve put a fiver on us to win, just got a feeling. We’ll I say I did, daughters boyfriend did it on one of those App thingy’s…..he also said I might as well have slung the fiver out of the window
-
Big call on keeper we will learn if he do it. The manager as to know if Mitchell is better than Jones.
Knoyle. Younger Olowu
Seaman Smith. Clayton. Horton
Rowe
Dodoo. Mipo
Subs
Jones
Williams R
Jackson
Galbraith
Martin
Agard
Griffiths
-
Why's he dropped Martin? Why hasn't he started with Jackson?
I fear the worst, but live in hope.
-
Bench has some strength now, we have every chance (and we rarely lose a game I don't attend even in bad years).
-
Not expecting a win, a draw would be a massive plus when you see what Rotherham can do to teams. With virtually a new team, being realistic you have to bet on Rotherham beating us fairly easily.
-
Will be very interested to know how much influence Clayton has in midfield. We will certainly need a few experienced heads in midfield tonight but will we miss Galbraith’s creativity? We shall see. Bit puzzled why Martin is on the bench. His contribution has brought about the pace to supply the forwards we have witnessed in the last few games. Come on Donny!!
-
I’m confident of a good performance
From what I read the performances have improved of late
Just wish I was there
-
I think GM is holding back some players to be super subs when Rother legs tire, maybe a debut for Reo?

they won't tire, fittest team in the division
-
Not unexpected.
-
Pathetic attempt at clearing the ball from a corner by the new goalkeeper
0-1
-
So much for the new set piece coach.
-
Shocking keeping
-
Pathetic attempt at clearing the ball from a corner by the new goalkeeper
0-1
Bit harsh, crowded goal line and a wind assisted curve ball….
-
My mate who’s a Northampton Town season ticket holder said he can’t believe he’s playing league 1 and is dodgy as hell.
-
Horton is going to have his work cut out this evening.
-
have we put two passes together yet?
-
Horton needs to be benched for a few games he’s clueless at defending
-

0-1

He wasn’t that crowded out on the goal line. He misjudged the cross and could have just tipped it over if he was better positioned.
-
Horton is going to have his work cut out this evening.
He shouldn't even be playing. It should have been Jackson.
-
Horton does not have enough pace or defensive nouse to be playing left back. Especially against one of the best right wingers in the division.
-
Just too easy. Horton just ain’t up to it. So poor from him. 0-2
-
No sooner said…..
-
This could be 6 again
-
Horton is shocking. Sad as he’s one of our own but just not up to it. No better than Amos was
-
Shocking. Turned it off. Horton needs benching. Completely out of his depth at the moment.
-
Not looking good for my five pound bet
-
Absolutely shocking ,game over already
-
Need some changes here and quickly.
-
We all could tell GM that Horton should not be in the team what’s he thinking plus he’s set us up shocking
-
Why disrupt the midfield and out wide when we created so many chances last game … baffling.
-
God knows what the final score will be tonight, and on Saturday.
Doesn't bear thinking about.
-
Not looking good for my five pound bet
Going to lump £100,000 on a Sunderland win Saturday.
-
Not expected to win if that’s any comfort, it’s about getting a good balanced system for next season, so for me every games a trial……..
-
GM ant got a clue , he’s got the players now so can’t hide behind that if we don’t win 8 of last games he needs sacking
-
Only positive is I was unable to pay for ifollow..bottle of voddie instead..gonna be needed
-
Not expected to win if that’s any comfort, it’s about getting a good balanced system for next season, so for me every games a trial……..
Dead right, and if we get mullered tonight and on Saturday, think of what that'll do for the players' confidence.
-
“Every games a trial”! The most accurate sentence you’ve posted to date!
-
Quite refreshing commentary on I follow tonight.
-
Go on Alfie

Why Thankyou Colin!
-
Seen enough.
Better things to do.
Never tried a jig-saw.
-
Quite refreshing commentary on I follow tonight.
can't stand that co-commentator, had to switch to rovrum to keep my sanity
-
Well done Anton 123! I said to my mate we should start the GM out campaign after last Saturday, such a good joke.
-
Mitchell … totally unsure whether to come or stay … clueless.
-
The only one trying to keep us up at the moment is Alfie. 2 goals in 3 minutes against Wimbledon.
-
Mitchell … totally unsure whether to come or stay … clueless.
First game ?
-
‘Death by a thousand cuts’.
Worse than any desert foxhole I’ve endured during being curled up in on a dark, starry Arabian night.
Whaddya reckon Shabby?
-
40 mins in not been working from the off but no change in plan or shape , we are playing Rotherham for God sake don’t just roll over and take it lads
-
We need to the basics ,like passing and when taking a throw in get it to one of are own men , it's not that hard is it
-

I reckon your sentence structure is a bit off tonight Colin, not like you to be fluffing ya lines…
Fox hole?
She’ll scrape and scree with a Susat sight on a very cold starry night more like….
-
We are playing the best side in the division, and they are so much better than Rovers, who have had all their confidence evaporate. More to come.
-
Mitchell … totally unsure whether to come or stay … clueless.
First game ?
In professional football?
-
That was just abject. Not a single attempt on goal. total disarray all over the park. Why make such changes in the lineup when things were improving last few games. Just baffling. Let’s hope he changes things straight away second half.
-
Total lack of situational awareness across the whole Rovers team. Rotherham are joined up, confident and accurate. Rovers can’t seem to win a header, make a pass or tackle. It’s like Rotherham have psyched us out just by turning up.
-
Awful we have not been in their area
-
I genuinely don’t think we put 4 passes together there. Absolutely dreadful.
-
We need to the basics ,like passing and when taking a throw in get it to one of are own men , it's not that hard is it
It’s beyond a joke today like u say can’t even throw a ball to a team mate and one point just threw it out for a goal kick I could not believe what I was watching
Half time get dodoo and Horton off to start if we had more subs to use I’d say get more off total shocking display
-
Massive gulf in quality. Rotherham are so much better than us all over the pitch
-
Mitchell … totally unsure whether to come or stay … clueless.
First game ?
In professional football?
I’d say yes because ya being pedantic…but no!….first game for us?
-
Not the goalies fault for me
But Horton ain’t good enough
Galbraith and Jackson are coming on
-
Not expected to win if that’s any comfort, it’s about getting a good balanced system for next season, so for me every games a trial……..
Dead right, and if we get mullered tonight and on Saturday, think of what that'll do for the players' confidence.
Not as much as those numpties in the south stand who booed the lads off at half time. We need to be realistic, Rotherham are very better in every aspect so far tonight.
-
I know what you mean,but going on fans from previous clubs,it's looking more likely he is prone to cock ups.
-
For all that, we're only 2 nil down.

How many wins do u think is acceptable to show he’s the man to get us going next season and get us back up as even with 8 wins we will probably still be down so don’t think 8 is to much of an ask

66 mins played . No shots on tgt. What’s happened?

Darren Bent on Sky Sports is saying that we've offered absolutely nothing.

-
Really good goal that from Rotherham. 0-3
We are a long way off having that sort of a cohesive move in our locker.
-
What a horrific, unbelievable decision from the ref. Penalty. 0-4
Never, ever a pen
-

that's been polite trust me

Well… the referee has been poor.

Well state your opinion then what’s achievable in your opinion? As for me we can’t just keep loosing or n picking up the odd 1-0 win now and again and expect it to all come good in LG 2 we need to see some improvement now he as has a transfer window
-
:pinch:That was a shocking pen ,he played the ball ,
-
66 mins played . No shots on tgt. What’s happened?
You sound surprised, normal rules?!
-
Well… the referee has been poor.
he has but still not as bad as rovers have been
-
Just seen the pen, woeful decision.
-
That’s one of the worst decisions Iv ever seen.
The ball actually lifts in the air after hitting our lads foot. Unbelievable
-
Worst penalty decision I've seen for a while!! Rovers pure shite though.
-
What a f*cking embarrassment of a team we've become.
Saturday will probably be even worse.
-
66 mins played . No shots on tgt. What’s happened?
You sound surprised, normal rules?!
I went to Cambridge and MK. Saw plenty of shots from Rovers.
-
The refs made more tackles than our midfield.

I shall state my opinion !!!
We aren’t good enough to win any games from now till seasons end, however we can try different formations and shapes in preparation for a tough league2 campaign….
I don’t expect us to get promoted in our first or second season in lg2
By the same token I think we will be too good to get relegated……
By the third year we should hopefully be doing a Forest Green and dominating 90% of games…….
I don’t expect any wins this year but I expect to see performances getting gradually better!

Perspective. We’ve been in freefall since Moore f**ked us. Yes, there have been mistakes made. And yes, we’re going to be in League 2 next season, barring an absolute miracle, but I believe in GMc we have a very good manager in development. Wellens was disastrous. Took a bad situation and made it considerably worse.
I said elsewhere recently that it takes a brave individual to take on what GMc has taken on. But it’s football isn’t it? As a club we go through phases of good and bad. We’ve been in a bad phase and I hope lessons have been learned, and we now look to regroup next season and get back on the upward trajectory. It’s like life in many ways, if you want to be philosophical about it.
Darren Moore and Wellens were really really bad for the club. Poor Andy Butler looked scared shitless in every interview… But McSheffrey offers is hope I think. Of course he’s going to make mistakes. SO’D did. Bremner did. Penney did. Every manager does.
But to call for him to be sacked is nuts. Get a grip lad.
-
Mitchell … another half hearted attempt at a clearance and it’s 0-5. Not impressed with him at all tonight.
-
Oh god it's going to be 6 again isn't it
-
Rotherham 13 - Rovers 0
Aggregate score vs Rotherham. Utter utter shit

If he can get us improved and get 8 wins even if we go down I will say he deserves a crack next year ! I will even lower it and say 7 but if we don’t improve why should we put trust in him to get us up next year or achieve the clubs goals next year what ever they are as for me he is not free from criticism for tonight’s performance
-
Well that was embarrassing to say the least. Just dreadful and utterly pathetic.
No excuses from the players. A really bad performance but I would say it wasn’t helped by GM initial line up.
In the long term I think GM will do well and hope he does but his inexperience in management will cost us short term.

You may exercise your right to not buy a season ticket or attend games, but I think Rovers is in your blood irrespective of where we ply our trade….

Probably the worse I’ve seen the Rovers play this season, any little improvement that we’ve seen certainly was not on show tonight. Big question from me is why did GMS change the formation and the team tonight.

Was it awful.

Was it awful.
It was Phil.
We were outclassed and out muscled from start to finish.
We did well to keep it down to five nil.
Rotherham are the best team I have seen us play this season.
You can only play as well as the opposition let you.
