Danny Schofield hands Ben Nelson a Rovers debut against mansfield.
.
Our four other January recruits are among the substitutes, alongside Joseph Olowu.

-
Looks to be a far stronger bench plus DS keeping the same side other than Nelson for Knoyle isn’t upsetting the squad
-
Yep, happy with that. Same shape. Go one better than last time out. Earn the point and push for three!
-
We have more options to change a game. I fancy us in this one .
-
No Griffith's or agard, their futures feel ominous.
-
Come on Donny !!!!
-
I like on the whole that new players don’t go straight in. Let existing players have a chance to up their game knowing we’ve better depth and can change it
-
1-0
-
Here we go …. One down after 30 secs :headbang: Anderson o.g.
-
Well that was a great start 1-0 Anderson own goal
COYR
-
Great start.
-
Great start!
-
Wtf!
-

I hope you're right, not easy now though.
-
Not sure what seaman is doing there, woeful defending.
-
It happens, long way to go.
-
:24 seconds and we kicked off
-
Seaman away with the fairy’s, but Mitchell should be claiming that cross
-
I have no idea what Mollyneux was doing there, slow clearance from Anderson & then og. Three mistakes in 20 odd seconds, some going that.
-
That should of been a score wall penalty. But also seamen should of buried the shot anyway.
.seamens final delivery isn't very good so far
-
Stonewall pen not given!
-
Should have been a pen, even Mansfield commentators expected it to be one
-
The stats are going our way now, or maybe they are sitting back a bit and relying on breaking away now.
-
This “for me” is why seaman is the slightly better player/ potential than knoyle. He is more effective in the game, he just needs just needs to work on the end result of it. He is always in the thick of it.
-

No, we are just better at the moment
-
2-0 game over
-
Terrible
-
2-0 Defensively we are a shambles.
-
Not better anymore FFS!
-
They look like scoring everytime they get in our final third.
No quality from Rovers. Seaman f**king useless, lashing balls here there and everywhere.
-
Time to go with the two up top and chase the game.
-
Queueing up for that one, knock yourselves out.
-
Every time we have a break we come back playing like s*** so many opportunities to clear as well
-
Awful.
-
Embarrassing defending again. We are utter garbage. Standard 3-0 defeat on its way
-
Just the usual from our abject defence then. Need to trust the process though. :headbang:
-
Shocking defending
-
Don't deserve to be 2 down, but have to take your chances. Need 1 now before half time
-
Zero marking, the defence just stood watching absolutely hopeless
-
Shocking defending they were just queuing up for it.
-
Seaman shouldn’t be in side Williams plays better middle of the three but DS seems to know better.
Our inconsistency continues 1800 disciples will have to start praying
-
In fact, forget the standard 3-0. This could end up properly embarrassing
-
Seaman Ball watching for the chance they had just before they scored , absolutely useless.
-
Does seamen look where he wants to place the ball or does he just think f**k it and put his foot through it.
-
Don't deserve to be 2 down, but have to take your chances. Need 1 now before half time
Should be more than 2 down tbf. Akins slapping that effort straight at Mitchell who was on the deck
-
You could say the same about Biggins
-
We are soft as sh.... we are just coasting.. shocking.. simply not good enough. And every game Miller just looks isolated
-
Changes needed soon. Get two up top, get Brown on at right back. Start getting some shots on target, it’s important we get the next goal.
-
You could say the same about Biggins
Aye defo. Just stood there
-

But you could then say if that went in then the chance that followed which they scored from would not have happened.
Also could say we had a stonewall penalty shout and also seamen should of easily buried the chance at the same time instead of wildley smashing it behind.
-
You could say the same about Biggins
Aye defo. Just stood there
Molyneux, Biggins Hurst all done nothing.
-
We must be the worst at clearing a ball and tackling, it's a team full of soft players thinking they are skillful, with fluffy touches and bad passing who half go into tackles. Rubbish, totally rubbish, a really poor team.
-
Three weeks without a game? It looks more like a preseason friendly by the level of commitment being shown by Rovers !!
-
Never have I seen a striker as isolated as ours is.
-
We create nothing, I’m watching us losing to a very poor side easily
-
Please sub Seaman. He just aint good enough.
-
This is exactly like the Tranmere game. We start relatively well ( OG aside) but they are just more up for it.
Given the hype we had before the Tranmere game - we can’t wait, we are up for this match… you would think the manager would ensure we didn’t fall into the same traps.
SOD teams were always lauded as a passing teams, yet SOD always said you have to earn that right - at times we started direct and in their faces.
We do not do this, and need too, and given we are playing an aggressive style team, the manager should have thought about this.
Push them back, make them nervous, then establish your game.
-
Another pen not given, clear handball by Reid to block Seaman’s shot
-
Can't be arsed with listening to this, it is just a matter of how many from now on, Rovers have not had a shot on target again. Some things they are consistent about!
-
Please sub Seaman. He just aint good enough.
He's good at clearing pigeons out of the stand.
-
Anderson lucky not to be sent off there
-
Taxi for Seaman
-
Aye he was lucky. But only t**t out there with an ounce of competitiveness in him.
-
Very lucky
-
Very poor first half. A few boos from the 1700+ travelling fans
-
A coach up on his game would have changed this well before half time
-
Not as bad as it first looks when you see the reply
-
I have only seen us 6 times this season but takeaways so far.
We persist with Miller on his own. The lad runs himself to the ground but it's not the best use.
We are so slow playing from the back. Gives other team time to organise and we lose the ball.
We are not an attacking threat. Countless times we don't test the keeper at all.
We are poor at preventing crosses
Needs to play with a higher tempo
-
You could say the same about Biggins
Aye defo. Just stood there
Molyneux, Biggins Hurst all done nothing.
I actually think Biggins has done ok, he is putting a tackle in an straying to create something
-
The lack of quality on show is frightening. If Seaman comes on in the second half, I’m going home.
-
We just don't compete. Look at their two up top, compete for everything, bring people into play. Their centre mids all over us. They are a decent team though.
-

Change to what exactly? Theres the ghosts of a thousand untried and untested players on our bench.
-
Think some of the reactions are a bit over the top. I'd say we have been in this throughout. A quick on goal. And there goal came from a period when we had been easily on top.
We have had a stonewall penalty turned down. Another penalty from a block by the mansfield defender from seamens shit which was clearly blocked by the arm. We have had some nice play. But the issue is they have had 2 go in (most important bit like).
Hurst and maxwell have linked up well going forward. Shame the 2 on the right arnt doing the same.
Some reactions would have you believe that mansfield are running riot and we are playing like the tranmere away game. Let's turn 1 in and mansfield will start to crumble
-
Well from that first half, apart from the usual one of no shots on target, Seaman is not good enough for this level. Mollyneux looks disinterested & a complete passenger, Biggins anonymous, Miller completely isolated, we're still a soft touch, & we miss Knoyle.

But that’s the point for me - Mansfield are nothing special yet we can’t compete. Schofield has to make changes.

I admire your positivity but I'm afraid you are watching a different game to me. Molyneux and Seamen should stay in the dressing room at half time, both are hopeless.

I agree, not good enough by a mile
-
Molyneux has hardly shown all season.
-
Hope we have two up front second half.
-
Yesssss
2-1
-
Brown has looked better than Knoyle ever did already
-
2-1 Hurst
Is it on?
-
Looked the better team just keep going at them
-
would be a great win , if we can pull it off.
-
Momentum with us.
-
Amazing what can happen when you play 2 up front
-
Amazing what can happen when you play 2 up front
Is it rocket science? Why can only we see it?

We might be Shaman and seeing it in a vision
-
Get ready for top Mansfield shithousery.
-
Amazing what can happen when you play 2 up front
Amazing :crying:
-
It isn’t rocket science but seems beyond our management. Don’t over complicate things, the players he has suit 4-4-2. Too many managers trying to look too intelligent. The game is simple play it that way.
-
2-1 Hurst
Is it on?
Not with this defence
3-1
-
Anderson and RSW … the comedy duo aided by Mitch. 3-1
-
Keep maxwell get rid of the rest of the defence please no
-
Anderson and RSW … the comedy duo aided with Mitch. 3-1
Don't worry the manager's signed an 18 year old child to help them out back there
-
Anderson at fault for losing his man but god sake Mitchell why did he come for it
-
What the hell was Mitchell doing there?
-
Mitchell's fault all day long
-
Don't think you can blame rsw. Mitchell caught in 2 minds and Anderson decided to have a wrestle match and actually throw his man towards the goal where the ball was going. If your gonna wrestle then don't let him go for f**k sake
-
Only one person to blame for that goal. The clown of a goalkeeper.
-
Don't think you can blame rsw. Mitchell caught in 2 minds and Anderson decided to have a wrestle match and actually throw his man towards the goal where the ball was going. If your gonna wrestle then don't let him go for f**k sake
And get himself sent off???
-
Embarrassing defending how can we ever do anything with the defence that we have?.
-
Anderson should have been in front of his man but wasn’t, he’s been a liability today
-
Wonder if Close getting injured may encourage a midfield signing
-

Yea maybe I was a bit to over the top with that reaction. Should of just judged the flight of the ball better and not get involved trying to wrestle. But Mitchell didn't cover himself in glory
-

I somehow doubt it, Peebles. The possibility of injury to one of our midfield two has been discussed numerous times on here in the last couple of weeks but the possibility doesn't seem to have had any effect on the signings made.
-
Miller … miss of the season?
-
Wow that was pathetic
-
Miller … miss of the season?
What again. How many open nets is that this season
-
Only had to tap it with his left foot instead of two touches with his right
-
How on this earth did we not score there.
-
Tranmere beating Orient now gone bove us down to 15th
-
We have been at least as good as them just a shame we can’t defend
-
f**king pathetic whoever is throwing the flares
-
4-1
-
We have been at least as good as them just a shame we can’t defend
so we haven’t then? Defending is part and parcel of the game.
-
Wonder if ds is aware of our problems with defence. :rolleyes:
-
At least there is still time to get 3 new defenders in next week
-
We’ve gifted them the first 3 goals, missed an open net, should have had a penalty but our lack of midfield bite keeps getting us beat, 4-1 down to a very average side, embarrassing
-
Another game where the GD is -3
So we cant defend
We haven’t got a midfield that’s strong enough
We can’t score when we do have chances
But we are sustainable
-
I got excited at 2-1, stupid boy
-
Well that was my half time optimism shot to bits.
Defence just crumbled again
-
That was different defending by Miller
-
My goodness Miller. Embarassing.
-
We have to my mind and I’m only listening on ifollow, created as much if not more, and better chances to score. We have also had 1-2 penalty shouts?
That does say to me we are ok ish going forward, the problem is very obviously defensively.
I expect we will win the next game which almost hides some of the deficiencies- I hope to god DS has some ideas on what good defenders look like in the summer.
-
Well for the 1800 supporters well done I don’t see where your optimism comes from. The transfer window has been average at best . But we move on to the next game.
-
That was pathetic.
-
Well played for 15 mins lads
-
We berate our defending, but our finishing today was awful!

We came out in the second half with some decent attacking intent. But very poor defending and inability to even tap the ball into the net from close range only results in one thing. A heavy loss against a very mediocre side.
-
We are deficient in all areas of the pitch plus off the pitch
