Looks like three at the back, and a physically very strong looking team bar the front three
-
Looks like we’re setting up for the counter. Definitely wont be much support up top.
-
Good to see Emmanuel and Senior starting as wing backs and 3 at the back.
-
Hutchinson goes straight in for them hopefully not fully fit and get him an early booking
-
Playing same shape as Bradford away and we looked good on the break there so could be a good game
-
Pleased Emmanuel has been rewarded for his mid week performance..
-

Your wish has come true in the 8th minute :lol:
-

Good shout.
-
Haha fantastic for my next wish
Anderson to score from a corner
-
We need to take these chances. We should be 2-0 up
-
Two great chances to score fluffed by Molly and Hursty
-
Good way to lose that. At least get the ball on target Rovers!!!!
-
What was you doing to miss that hurst all the time in the world.
-
Pissing about playing it out from the back needlessly … and we pay the price. 1-0
-
There we go, losing our attacking edge and not scoring when we have chances, get a goal behind and?
-
It's just a massive mistake from Broadbent, we were under no real pressure in that position.
-
Hope we won't end up regretting those missed chances
-
Messing about with it at the back stupid goal to concede
-
Broadbent was excellent last week but not only did he give the ball away he then didn’t stop the player climbing over him to head it in
-
Players make mistakes occasionally, that is why we are in Lg.2 still. The key thing is if they can produce enough at the other end, and we don't seem to be able to do that recently.
-
Ball has hardly been on the floor in the game, not very enjoyable to watch.
-
Rovers now 8/1 against winning on Bet 365, that reflects the lack of punch they are showing.

Make that 9/1
-
This is rubbish.
-
Only another 15 mins of this drivel, once we get to 60 mins, the usual change to 2 up top then we sit wishing we had started like that. Same every week only one that don’t see it unfortunately is GM
-
We do not deserve to be behind but we try hard to make things difficult for ourselves.
-
It's frustrating because we know we can play better. Just can't seem to put in a decent performance for more than 15 minutes. That said, there's nothing between the teams and we're still in it.
-

We certainly do deserve to be behind, given chances that we can't convert and buckle under minimal pressure at the other end. We're just not good enough.
-
Bad mistake by Broadbent but not as bad as the 2 sitters we missed earlier in the game. I don't think Hurst will get as far as 60 minutes. In fact I would be surprised if he starts the second half. Molyneux is nearly as bad and has Billy Sharp touched the ball yet?
-
OK, a long time to go yet in this game, and in the season; but it's looking more and more as though the January window will be a massive factor in our promotion hopes.
-
Even man city can't play out from the back any more? Why do L2 teams think they can?
-
Billy is a six yard poacher feeding off second ball. Never leads the line.
-
If Hurst and Molyneux are as bad as you say then how can Billy touch the ball need those two to supply the creativity.
Last season when we had the great finish Hurst couldn’t get in the side yet we are expecting him to start every game. But have got any body better in his position, yes we have players but are they better than Hurst.
-
We should be looking at Stevens who scored for them. That’s 15 this season in all competitions
-
Hurst just not getting it together.
-
Hirst is not delivering and somebody that can remain composed and shoot low and straight like Clifton or Ironside needs to replace him.
-
There is nobody on this earth convincing me that Hurst offers more than Clifton. Has McCann fallen out with him or summat?
-

He’ll go to a Championship side in January like the fellow they sold to Ipswich this time last year.
-
Our midfield is non existent we need to go 3-5-2
-
Wimbledon well on top now, is there a way back into this game for Rovers? Only if they make a serious error I reckon.
-
Like clockwork
-
The 'Live updates' on Rovers match centre are rubbish.
Only 3 updates since half time!
-
Like clockwork
What is?
-
Grimsby 1-0 down to Crewe, which puts Crewe ahead of us in the table :(
-
What do we think to the substitutions?
-
Cue the brak up of our attacks ( which are becoming increasingly rare) as Ironside starts to have wrestling matches with defenders.
-
What do we think to the substitutions?
Pleased about 2 out of 3 subs, but Sbarra - I don’t know…
-
Who's replaced who?
-
Who's replaced who?
Sbarra for Hurst.
-
72 minutes, still waiting for a shot on target.
-
Is it possible for GM to drop Molyneux and give a chance to others, he is becoming less effective in recent weeks.
-
Who's replaced who?
Cliftonville, Ironside, Sbarra on for Hurst, Broadbent and Emmanuel
-
Cliftonville. Predictive texting strikes again
-
And again. Clifton
-
And now also Gibson on for Olowu who got a knock
-
72 minutes, still waiting for a shot on target.
Concerning.
-
Going to have to be a smash-and-grab this one lads. We've hardly been in their box.
-
No shots on target is really bad.
-
Any sign of a “click”?
-
McCann needs to start answering questions now cos it’s not been good enough for a while.
-
No shots seem to happen a lot.
-
Game over, it would take till next week before Rovers produce a shot on goal, never mind score, points in GM's six game league 0/18 after 1 game.
-
Close from Moly
-
Worst performance for sometime, our passing has been woeful all game and we are wanting far too much time on the ball
-
Just lumping it up to the forward players continuously. Nothing constructive at all. No wonder we can’t score.
-
Yet again another poor referee. Not as bad as us though.
-
Can’t blame the ref for that result
-
Very poor performance. Just not good enough. Lacking in composure on goal and little creativity.
-
Lucky to get away with just 1-0.
-
Lowest goal difference in the top five
-
Can’t blame the ref for that result
Not blaming the ref. He had a poor game. We had a terrible game.
-
We can talk about the table and points etc. but we just don’t look convincing as a football team if you ask me. At the Cheltenham game I was talking to my son and we realised we’ve not seen a game this season where we’ve bossed it, been in control, or felt like the superior team. And we seem to get stuck in the same thing week in week out, go behind and make it hard for ourselves, poor delivery into the box, poor decision making around taking shots, taking way too long on the ball, not getting out quick enough on the break.
If we do go up I worry about how we will survive.
-
That was crap. What happened to shooting across the keeper? The couple of chances we had were scuffed past the near post
We are certainly not playing like champion contenders
-
Not as good as grant thinks we are too lightweight
-
Billy is a six yard poacher feeding off second ball. Never leads the line.
In which case you sign someone younger and quicker instead.
-
The way we are playing we are not a top 3 team. We don’t improve we’ll again be in the playoffs.
