Todays team and it’s a very different team with only 5 on the bench
COYR
-
Why only 5 subs on the bench?
-
Why only 5 subs on the bench?
DS will be using it as an excuse with injuries for such a shocking season under him to try buy himself some time.
-
Surely that has to be the weakest squad (starting XI plus subs) we’ve named since we got back into the Football League?
-
Have some already learned of their fate and refusing to play and risk injury?

Have some already learned of their fate and refusing to play and risk injury?
Close and Molyneux still contracted. Only Williams out of contract who's missing.
-

Brown, Williams and Ravenhill possibly I can understand, but Close and Moly are on longer contracts, and Nelson would not be after a contract with us. Illness in the camp?
-
Illness. Or hungover. One of the 2!

Hopefully refused to play in the process (sic)

I've heard similar, doesn't really bode well!

Same old getting the run around again

Nothing changes. This is so poor.
-
Do we even practice any attacking in training.
-
(http://)Miller isolated up front. And even so, no way is he up to the job.
-
Does anybody know who the ex-rovers player is on commentary for Walsall?

Don't understand why he is up front and goodman on the bench.

Is it Andy Williams?

43 | Isaac Hutchinson twists, turns and gets a powerful drive away, sending the ball wide from 20 yards.

Need to bring goodman on for Miller
-
Biggins has been very poor, looks like he’s going to give it away at any moment
-
45 | Big chance for Walsall. Liam Gordon stabs in a cross from the byline, Tom Knowles finds space in the middle and heads down and on goal but it's a simple take for Louis Jones
3 mins of added time

Thanks!

Goodman on for miller please

Anyone got any fresh paint I can watch dry?
-
5 shots in the first half! Why do we wait until the final game to give our performance of the season?

Get plenty of tins in for next season, Filo, because this set of management clowns aren't going anywhere.

How we looking?
If any prospective signings are watching this game is there any evidence of attractive football Copps will have sold to them?

51 | Matt Stevens is played into space on the left of the box but drills into the sidenetting
0-0

It’s been an even game with Walsall having the best chance (a header from a good cross) we have had some good possession in that half, but with only Miller up top we will always struggle.
Again some little signs we are starting to string a few passes together - just light weight up top
-
52 | Concern for Rovers with Harrison Biggins down receiving treatment.
54 | Biggins back on and able to continue
0-0
COYR
-
55 | Brilliant save from Louis Jones as he somehow keeps out an Isaac Hutchinson strike which took a wicked deflection on its way through
0-0

For his own good take him off, he can’t do anything right today ( Biggins) we would have been better with his pantomime name sake.

Pick your spot lad
-
I thought Goodman might have got a start today.
Unless we are going to sign Todd Miller it seems crackers not to have another look at our own player in a first team game.
-
What a useless side and manager disgraceful season

if we sign Todd Miller I will never watch rovers ever again lol

60 | Chance for Rovers as Jack Degruchy whips in an excellent cross which Aidan Barlow looks to chest home from close range. It's saved
1-0

Very poor, total lack of quality anywhere on this pitch.
Out played be a very poor side in walsall
-
5 shots in the first half! Why do we wait until the final game to give our performance of the season?
Stats how they make us look good today. Wallsall could have scored plenty. We again are aweful.
-
Shocking defending for the goal.
-
Why does he persist with Miller (yes I know all about his pace) up front when he’ll be back at his parent club after today while Jack Goodman (one of our ‘own’) sits on the bench?
Millers hair weighs more than he does!
-
P#ss poor defending from Hurst for their goal .
-
Walsall have had one decent chance other than the goal - keep some perspective!
We have had two very good chances we should’ve scored, one from Hurst in the first, and just now from Barlow which was harder to miss!

Unbelievabley abysmal performance by us, I'm done for now, can't believe how bad this team is. Wallsall are shite, but we are even shiter!! Enjoy the summer if you can. Bye!
-
We are terrible. Simple as. The worst Rovers side for over 25 years.. Our conference teams were better!

Perspective is over the last 5 games Walsall have a worse record than us, and they are beating us and are the better team

They have been well in charge, it was only a matter of time.
-
Second half yes, first half absolutely not!
It’s like people can’t wait until a goal goes in, then lose perspective, or make up what has happened.
It should be 1-1 that miss from Barlow was a shocker!
-
Absolutely awful, how on earth can any serious professional football club not sack Schofield?
-
Listening to Mickey Walker co-commentate on Rovers losing to Walsall, just makes you glad to be alive!
-
What can one say the saga continues week after week have we the base with what players we have to create a successful team for next season. I doubt it.
-
This is your legacy Mr Bramall.

74 | The hosts double their advantage as Isaac Hutchinson smashes in on the angle after meeting Matt Stevens' lay-off

Not the case at all, can just see the same rubbish as normal.
Pretty much the worst team in the football league since DS took over and your saying get some perspective. We have been outplayed again.
-
Poor from the keeper, straight through him and right at him
-
Bottom half of the table, no disrespect to other sides, in a poor league like this. Shameful the way this club has been allowed to drop backwards.
-
We are shit all over the pitch, can honestly say I would not be disappointed if I saw none of this team again
-
Blunt out now!aswell as the manager!
-
Have we found our level yet Mr Bramall getting beat by a side who have won once in 21 games he will be two in 22 now. Pathetic!!

Impossible to defend these performances. DS has shown us absolutely nothing to warrant giving him a transfer kitty. This is not a one off poor performance… its the norm under DS. Walsall are a poor team. We are clueless.

3rd worst in League 2 since 20th October.

84 | Great strike by Tommy Rowe from the edge of the box and Walsall keeper Jackson Smith does enough to turn it wide

Faulkner's scored.
-
84 | Rovers have a goal back. The corner comes in and drops all the way through for Bobby Faulkner who could hardly have struck it sweeter, powering a shot into the top corner
2-1

Technically poor Faulkner just scored one of our very best goals of the season. Can't wait to see what that lad can achieve with a proper manager that supports him!!

87 | Aidan Barlow goes for goal from 25 yards but its wide

Take the - what is the opposite of rose tinted specs off and watch the game with some perspective.
They have bossed this second half, but don’t tell me they bossed the first - utter bull, and desperation to prove a point against a team and manager you don’t like.
-
Can someone explain this so called "process" ? It can't be anything connected to football as we are clueless.
If DS is still here at start of next season serious questions need to be asked.
-

Was that sarcasm? He isn't the best footballer around. Pretty decent defender though. Improve his ability on the ball and he'll be brilliant.

Yeah it was sarcasm. He's our best defender and is a better prospect in my opinion than Ben Nelson.

It's not about that at all.
I never want us to lose, but if you would like to group me in with others then fair enough.
The truth is, there NEEDS to be a change, and again we deserve to lose the game.

18 year old CH showing the rest of team how to score,only player who seriously challenges for headers too,well done son.

He deserves it.
But the question in, the situation etc etc, why didn't he start?
-
Full time 2-1
Another defeat in a season of many defeats. In a results based industry how Schofield is still in charge is anyone’s guess
Hopefully a closed season clear out and a fresh start next
Onwards and upwards
