Tonight’s team
COYR

Very weak bench, let’s hope they aren’t needed
-
Awful bench. Hopefully we won’t need it. Disappointed not to see Oluwu in for Williams but hoping he’ll prove me wrong.
-
Hope Taylor hasn’t injured himself

Hope Taylor hasn’t injured himself
His foot swelled up after the game on Saturday.

It must be the weather.... Grey and nasty. My level of optimism and anticipation has collapsed. Defcon 0 sadly.

Why have we only got 6 on the bench
-
Why have we only got 6 on the bench
Because we have two players (passengers?) who RW refuses to play....
-
Why have we only got 6 on the bench
Because we’ve got a piss weak squad
-
Galbraith in for Vilca is an absolutely massive improvement!

I’m feeling the same, bracing myself for more disappointment. But would so love to be wrong!
-
Galbraith in for Vilca is an absolutely massive improvement!
And Vilca isn't even on the bench.
-

"Awful bench" then hoping one of them is on the pitch. Not very logical.
-

I guess Vilca must be injured as well?
-
It would be nice to get to 15 minutes without conceding..... and build on that.

Terrible miss from Knoyle

Preferably 90 mins plus any extras..
-
Fantastic commitment to defend the goal by Williams.
-
How’s Hiwula missed that sitter
-
Is it being streamed?

So you consider a bench of 6 with barely any senior appearances between them and not a single one that anyone of sane mind would consider a potential game changer anything other than awful?
I don’t really know if Olowu is any good but I do know that Williams has been worse than awful for us so far this season.
-
Is that the same Williams who’s just shown “fantastic commitment”, or is there another on the pitch.?
-

It was Knoyle.
-
Cukur had another good start to the game.
He is really improving.
-

He did, he made a good block. Not sure how that in any way makes a difference to his performances so far this season, mind…
Not a bad start so far, hopefully we can keep it going.
-
I’m late to the party but why didn’t knoyle use his left foot??

Makes a difference to tonight’s game though..
-
Williams has been very good so far tonight, beyond any criticism.
-
We are competing. I’m impressed so far.
-
We are competing.
That’s all I ever want, regardless of our squad, the opponents, or the league we are in..

Yep, agreed.
They are all playing their part tonight.
-
Almost ahead there. Good corner routine by Close and Rowe just off target with the header.
We are playing well.

Good to hear! Keep it up, lads!
(I see that we’ve had 63% of the possession…if that means anything, of course!)
-
Scunny winning at Barrow...
-
As hound said earlier, Cukur is improving every game.
His best game so far tonight, he’s really contributing
-
Best I’ve seen Bostock play and Galbraith is a baller. If we can get those 2 dovetailing this season we’ll be fine. Played well but although the front 3 have worked hard I still think we look a bit short up front, we’re creating more than we have been though so every chance we could go on to win this.
-
A decent first half, Rovers keeping their front line very quiet, and creating some decent chances. Looking good if we can keep it up, one will work.
-
Comfortably the better side. Sadly we couldn't even finish our tea.
-
Need to be winning games like this. Gillingham are terrible.
-
We are playing well until we get to their penalty area then we are clueless. The Gills keeper could be sat in the stand for what he has had to do.
-
Said on I follow Vilca Ill but not COVID related anyone think Galbraith could be as good as Snods eventually MOM so far
-
Really good half from Rovers, competing for everything & winning more of our fair share of second balls. Williams, Close, & Galbraith pick of our lot along with Bostock who is running the show. Come on Rovers we can win this.
-
Interesting stat, Rovers have won 100% of tackles won, who says they are showing no commitment? Impressive.
-
Is that Knoyle's 5th yellow and 1 game suspension? If so who plays RB?
-
Possibly Horton.
-
Seaman
-
Possibly Horton.
Recall for Greaves?
-
Seaman
Injured?
-
We are better.
But some of the worst finishing/shooting in decades, possibly millennia.
-
Corners are racking up
-
We're not doing bad but this has to be the bluntest rovers attack I've seen in many many years.
-
Corners are racking up
5-1 to Gillingham…corners, that is!
-

Almost all of them in the second half
Not good when playing a fatty Evans team
-
Our end product today has been diabolical.
-
typical.. ffs
-
1 down it's been coming
-
Well, that was coming.
-
Been coming.
-
We’ve been poor this second half. Been coming
-
Lets face it, we are going down, our strike force can’t hit a barn door
-
when you don't put your chances away, it's written in stone that the opposition score from their first shot on target!!!

Told you!!!
-
Doesn't take a football genius to work out when you have a team that can't score and can't keep clean sheets, you will struggle.
-
Now I think we'll go down.
-
Wow not looking good is it. Who’s going to want to join us in January if we are rock bottom and playing like this
-
Was that from a corner? Sounds like no lessons learned from Saturday.
-
Another set piece. Laughable now.
Sack Paul Gerrard. ‘Set piece coach’ hahaha
-
Why can't a goalie catch the ball? Useless dick!
-
Was that from a corner? Sounds like no lessons learned from Saturday.
Yep. Oliver getting there over Close.
-
We’re so powder puff all round. No bite or fight
-
…Who’s going to want to join us in January if we are rock bottom and playing like this
Anybody who’s out of a job!
-
It'll be spectacular now if we do manage to escape the drop.
BobG
-
Why do we bother crossing the ball into the area? It is totally pointless nobody EVER gets on the end of them.
-
There is a limit to patience and I think we may have passed it tonight.
-
Bugger!
-

BobG
Come on, Bob, what’s happened to that glass-half-full-attitude that you’ve had all these years? :)
-
Dodoo has been nothing short of atrocious.
-
Dodoo's freekick. If you didn't laugh you would cry. :facepalm:
-
Have no belief we can win a game when we concede. Similarly no belief that we’ll stay up now. Gills are poor really poor we are worse.
As a team on paper we shouldn’t be this bad, eventually that needs addressing at management level. I know we’re not a sacking club but that can only carry on so long when it’s this bad
-

the so called crossing tonight is the worst I’ve ever seen.
-
Not the answer is he. Pure panic signing
-
Whether it's a lack of ability, poor coaching, or mental strength I don't know but you just know when we go behind we aren't going to score. Does anyone believe we'll nick a late equaliser here?
-
That free kick just sums us up, f**king useless
-
We do alright between the two boxes. Going forward we overcomplicate things and there is too many pea rollers straight to the opposition keeper. At the other end we can't defend set pieces for shit. If we lose to a team like Gillingham after largely dominating then I don't see us staying up.
-
Let’s be honest, Gillingham are a very, very poor side and they have beaten us. The table doesn’t lie. Going to take a miracle to get out of this mess.
-
Shite again, so predictable, no signs of anything but relegation with this manager.
-

100% it’s a lack of footballing ability I’m afraid.
-

honestly don’t think Pep could get a tune out of this lot.

No it isn't. Technically we were the better team tonight.

It’s going to be a looooonnnnnngggg season

Agree. They just lack quality. The passing, crosses, shooting just not good enough. We’re doomed!!!
-
Six points adrift of safety now with the worst goal difference. Just can’t see this team turning that around.
-
So we get a free kick on the edge of the area and Dodoesnt blasts it about 6 yards wide.
I was one of those who thought RW was a good choice but I'm afraid he has signed some absolute shite.
-

Who signed them?
-
Unfortunately we would struggle in div 2 with this squad and don’t think another manager could alter things with what we have at the moment. Just look at the bench line up.

yes it is ol boy. Technically Bostock, Galbraith and Close were better. Technically Williams, Knoyle, Dodoo, Hiwula, Cukur, are amongst the worst batch of signings I can think of for quite a good while. And that’s not counting the squad players of Barlow, Gardner etc.
-
We pass in nice triangles here and there but how often do we threaten teams? How often do we stretch them? It's just sterile.
We are the worst team I've seen this season. I don't remember saying that about a Rovers team before.
-
And you know what makes it a lot, lot worse? The fact that Richie Wellens is goimg to take the blame for the accumulating mistakes of 2 years. That turncoat in S6 will get away almost scot free with all of his terrible, terrible failures.

Who signed them?
Wellens. And I agree he’s been poor. But my point is if we change the manager, as we probably should, nothing will change because we’ve been lumbered with some proper dead wood.

Our recruitment has been shocking for the last 4 years or so but Hiwula is decent.

People say footballers are thick. Well these are the least intelligent group of people I've seen. I sit behind the home bench and you wouldn't believe how little of a shit this group of players give. Rovers clean through on goal nope this lot sat on the bench don't even stir. Honestly you wouldn't believe it on Saturday Seaman with a fractured foot climbs over a seat and cracks his foot on the back of said seat.
