Nobody in the Lucky Pint.
I was going to get the beers in!
-
2 shots, 1 on target. Decent start. Walsall 1 PV1 after 11 minutes!

Mine’s a pint please Martin!
-
Pleased to see Senior getting forward for once!
-
Walsall up 2-1 over Vale 15 in. Jeez.
-
Slow start- you wouldn’t think how much was at stake

Bitter??
-
Sweet stout if we score!
-

Such a lack of quality on display unfortunately!
-
Scrappy game so far.
Billy and Gibbo both put shots into Row Z when they should have done better.
Plenty of sloppy mistakes by both sides.
As usual, Moly is looking our greatest threat.
-
Absolutely dire, defence look so shaky no midfield
-
2 cards for Cheltenham now, might not end up with 11 at this rate.
-
George Miller doing well for them
-
Blimey this is poor.
We badly need somebody who can put their foot on the ball and control the midfield. I don’t think we’ve had more than ten seconds of continuous possession!

Bring back Copps!
-
We badly need a goal
-
Expecting subs at half time, Grant got this wrong, toothless
-
This is again so slow paced and flat, we don’t seem to have any spark in us at all, and haven’t all season, we are consistent steady Eddie’s, and that may be enough to get the job done, it’s not great to watch though
-
Yellow card Woody
-
Nothing happening at the moment to inspire a win and defence giving a lot away.
-
That was shite
-
As usual it just looks like Luke, Bailey and Sterry belong in a promotion side. TSL has looked solid enough.
-
Well that was boring.
I’m sure I saw somebody doing their knitting. I think it was Cheltenham’s number 6.
-
The midfield are poor yet again Kelly no better than Sbarra. No flow to the game Gibson wasting the ball all the time. We don’t look like a side going for promotion this is poor.
-
Could have nodded off there, it's like a pre-season friendly. Powder puff. Lack urgency & passing ability. Awful first half.
-
To be fair there’s more effort than we’ve seen sometimes. Cheltenham are not a bad side by L2 standards. Sharp is doing a good deal all over the pitch and Senior (who I’ve criticised for lack of involvement in the past) is getting over the half way line and combining with Gibson in attack.
The cliche “fine margins” is apposite. Expecting us to absolutely dominate a mid table team is unrealistic.
-
May as well sacrifice the number 10 as nobody is playing well in it. I'd go two up top second half.
The other option is put Gibson in there.
-
Port Vale now top of the league
-

Yep. A general lack of application. Too careless at times. We need to do the basics instead of players doing their own thing and hoping something comes off.
I doubt he'll make subs but give them a good wake up call at HT.
-
Thing is, as uninspiring as this all sounds, should we nick a winner and Port Vale beat Walsall, we would be 3 points off top spot with a game in hand by the end of today’s fixtures..
-
Good old fashioned 442 will sort this out.

Got to agree with this.
Molyneux. Is having a great game.
At the game and it's indicative of the season. I feel sorry for our forwards. No matter who it is the service to them is shocking and they spend all their time deep and working their b*llocks off.
-
If we don’t get promotion at the end of such a slog of a season it’s going to be incredibly disappointing. The usual turgid, uninspired fayre. Hopefully a rollicking at half time might inject a bit of purpose.
-
At least the weather is nice
And the young drunken lad has given us some entertainment. He was annoying at the start then shortly afterwards sat with his head in his hands. Took himself to the toilet and needed assistance from the stewards and police. I don’t know what happened to him but he has come all this way and seen 5 minutes of football
-
Get Ironside, Sbarra, Clifton and Street on. Don’t wait till will go behind, need to win this game.

Not too sure about that, if you consider yourselves potential champions then mid table sides should be under a LOT of pressure, as it is they aren't and maybe Rovers are a play off contender at this rate. Second half may bring some joy with a change in attitude/tactics from GM.
-
No changes half time
-

Who for?
Preferably with no-one coming off :lol: :lol: :lol:
-

We can't afford to go behind because we know what happens when we do.
-
Back to poor shooting, 7 shots only1 on target.
-
Are the goals lower today? Thats another that has been out over the bar by about 30ft
-
Hope he does ent wait to long to do somthing.
-
This is better from Rovers.
Good work from Moly yet again there.
-
Perhaps he wants to see how they react from what was said at half time first.?
-
Would give them 15 mins if still the same or no improvement then changes need to be made
-
Get in Cheltenham down to 10
-
Cheltenham down to 10 - correctly
-
Come on Rovers, getbthis turgid game turned around we don't need another draw.
Hello everyone sorry I'm late put a tab on behind the bar for you all - afraid that's the most action we are going to see today at this rate !
-
Right, come on now Rovers!
We almost scored there, hit the post.
-
Another couple of shots on target, waking up?
-
We’ve been much better this last ten minutes.
Keep this up, let’s get this won.
-
Ten men to beat, and a goalie injured, if we don't win with these circumstances......
-
McGrath, Clifton & Street on for Wood, Kelly, Sharp
-
Right, come on now Rovers!
We almost scored there, hit the post.
Go on, mention his name - Gibson again!
-
We have to stretch them, get a goal soon to force them out.
Kelly off Clifton on
Wood off street on
Sharp off McGrath on
-
Deing deserved his Red card .
-
Deing deserved his Red card .
It was a stupid 1st yellow as well for blocking a free kick, serves him right
-
Right, come on now Rovers!

Go on, mention his name - Gibson again!
I wasn’t sure who it was!
Good effort from Gibbo.
-
If we dont win this game now then we dont deserve promotion
-
I wouldn’t have taken George Miller off - he’s been good for them.
-
Yet another stonewall penalty not given - even the Sky commentator thought it was
-

Absolutely.
-
Was a penalty.
Rovers showing little composure or quality in the final third.
-
I wouldn’t have taken George Miller off - he’s been good for them.
Can understand why you think that,but Miller was constantly offside.
-
No sign of a goal from rovers here
-
Bet365 now have a draw odds on. They have no faith that Rovers can score, we are odds against winning (5/4)
-
They were strange subs to make when they’d just gone down to 10 weren’t they?
-
Why didnt grant go for it when they went down to 10?
Didnt make a positive change with the 3 like for like subs
-
Two up front with a back 3 now. Getting desperate.
-
Yet again we look like we aren’t going to break a team down
-
Ironside missed a sitter
-
Unbelievable miss by Ironside.
Over the bar from 2 yards out!
-
How has joe missed that?
-
They have not parked the bus, so you have to give them credit.
-
Jujst a bit of luck pretty please
-
Promotion-chasing team vs a ten man mid table team ought to have rout written all over it really. Feels like forever ago that we were consistently good technically and ability-wise.
-
Bromley written all over it.
-
How has joe missed that?
Simple answer really.
-
Are we playing against ten men play it along the ground.bit of a shambles at the moment. Nothing going for us.
-
How has joe missed that?
Simple answer really.
Which is, he’s been out injured and not as sharp as he should be?
-
I think we have to accept we just aren't good enough.
-
Abysmal....again.
-

Not good enough, hasn't been all season.
-
Alleluia
-
Wow, a life line gets thrown down to our chances!
-
Finally
-
0:1
-
Go on son.
-
Should’ve been a 30 year deal!!!!
-
Thank God for that.
-
So well deserved for Sterry
-
Great moment for those that have made the trip
-
Thank god for that concentrate now
-
Sterry’s control of Luke’s cross was even better than the shot
-

Bump
-

Exactly,easy to underestimate how well Sterry did with controlling that pass to give himself the chance to shoot
-
0:2
-
Yes!!!
-
Rob Street is looking fine
-
FT and Leeds only drew also....
-
Wow we needed that
-
Yyyyeeeesssss!
FT 2-0
Thank heavens for that
-
Come on Crewe
-
Fair play to Cheltenham thought they played well
-
I'm sure when I checked the table before the match Rovers were on 68 points. The table now shows Rovers on 70 points, am I mistaken?
-
Relief all round there, the final result is definitely flattering. Next week has to be at a far higher level of performance.

It showed 68 when the score was 0-0, 67 before KO..
-

what sort of impact does that have on us? Can we still catch them?
-

Being pedantic, no, it doesn’t, as long as we get a decent result..
-
Wonder if there was a little handball from Sterry bringing it under control?
-
We are now only one point less than where we finished last season, with 6 more games to go..
Definitely in this, it’s there for the taking.
Plus, alongside Notts Co and Chesterfield, we are the joint second highest scorers.
-
What a time for Jamie Sterry to finally get his first goal!
2-0 flattered us but I don’t care.

Not sure it did flatter us actually - yes the goals were late but there was the stonewall penalty not given, hit post with keeper beaten, Ironside miss of the season
-
It took our right back to finally hit a shot that didn’t fly over the bar!
I’m liking the look of that league table right now.

Agree we should have killed it off long before we did, controlled the game mostly. But I massively thought we were gonna have another of those days.
7pts from 3 is good, can't grumble.

Agreed Dutch, but I was thinking more about the overall game, especially with Cheltenham down to 10 men.
-
Great result. Kept going till the end. It's all about points
-
Fantastic 3 points, well below average performance.
-
We were awful really and McCann had a shocker today. Awful subs
-

Quit your whining, 3 points at this point in the season is all that matters!
-
Come on Crewe
1 down already..... 1st minute :headbang:
-
Loads of time for Crewe to come back
-
Crewe had a penalty saved. Penalty? What’s them, you may well ask!
Second half - Crewe hit the post!
-
Bradford 2 up
-
What a time for Jamie Sterry to finally get his first goal!
Sorry dutch but that wasnt the miss of the season. Billy has missed worse.
But it doesnt matter aslong has we go ip

-
We had 18 shots today.
Six saved, six blocked and one that hit the post.
TSL only had to make one save.
How is that not a dominant performance?
We definitely deserved the win.
