Today’s team, 1 change Crew for Sterry
COYR
-
I’m happy with that line up.
-
Surprised Crew goes straight in and Nixon not trusted to replace Sterry. Not even on the bench. In Grant We Trust.
Can't help thinking Mansfield will start like a house on fire. All that new energy and excitement of playing in front of their home fans.
First job is to shut them up.

Hope hanlon shows a bit more on the ball this week was a little disappointed v Exeter last week but first game.we will see. Hope he gets couple of goals.
-
Nixon must feel rotten. Never let us down but we’d rather play a loanee. Same with Gotts who was great last week when he came on and has been with us all preseason.
I know Crew is talented I just hope we’ve not got a must play clause I hate that with loans.
Grant is normally right though so I shouldn’t complain. Nixon might as well be loaned out if he can’t get on the bench today.

it’s the only way Bailey gets a game imo. Crew and Broadbent were excellent in the run in last year when our midfield finally clicked. Flabbergasted once again how Clifton manages a start, however
-
McCann will have half an eye on Middlesbrough on Tuesday where he's likely to make changes.
-
I don’t think we do loans with must play clauses.?

Bailey over Person from what I’ve seen. He’s class at centre half
-
Is Nixon fit? Doesn't bode well for him if he's been left out for any other reason.
-
That ball from Broadbent was brilliant
-
Mansfield started well, but Rovers starting to put the press on now.
-
Hectic start, not much quality. You feal if Rovers show some composure the game is there for the taking.
-
I really hope Grant is in the loan market for another striker. Hanlan just doesn't look up to it at all he's got a touch like Teflon which when you're playing with a lone striker you need to make it stick
-
Exeter are already 2 up against Blackpool. Maybe they're not quite as bad as we made them look last week!

totally agree, but it appears not to be in grants thinking judging by the centre halves he’s signed.
-
Too mainly aimless long balls from us. We're so much better when we play it forward.

Just about to say the same. Mainly inaccurate, wasted. Pressing is good. I've a sense of togetherness in the side but not that fluid.
-
That was some firey header from Mansfield, lucky it was straight at TLT.
-
Crew and Broadbent look excellent in the middle. Ref is inconsistent.
-
0-0 at HT
-
Flipping heck, What does Hanlon have to do to get a free kick? Doubled up on, one in his back and one on his shoulders…
We just need to calm it down with the final pass.
-
We are clearly the better side. They look completly disorganised but can put the odd attack together that makes them dangerous.
I was going to make a comment about Hanlan, but he made a lovely lay-off at one point late in the half, so he can produce (otherwise the ball is bouncing off him and he's being bullied by the defenders)
Game is there for us.
-
So far so good. Just need that final bit of quality in the area.
Start the same in the second half, then open them up with the movement.
-
We are getting the same problem as last year, 5 shots, all off target, Mansfield have 3, 2 on target.
-
1-0 Mansfield.
-
Now we have a mountain to climb because we haven't made the most of dominance.
-
7 all off target now.
-
Sharp, Gotts and Ajayi coming on in place of Clifton, Hanlan and Crew.
-
Tough start for Hanlan it seems.
-
That's a positive sub, fingers crossed.
-
We just couldn't see out that critical 15 mins after half time.
Up against in now chasing the game.
-
Gibson now on in place of Middleton.
-
We need a striker before the end of the window!
-
100% Crew was a good loan signing but not the one we needed imo.
-
1-1. Owen Bailey
-
Get in!
-
Sky has it as an own goal, but who cares!
-
Looks a bit different up front now with changes made.
-
Looked like an OG
-
This ref is awful.
-
Another pen in stoppage time would be nice, to us.
-
Jordan Bowery on for Mansfield. There's a name from the past!
-

We did need him. Agree about probably needing another “stricker” (copyright Steveski Ross)
-
A nice little starter for Billy please!
-
Broadbent has been superb again, he is growing into an exceptionally high quality player
-
Anybody else lost commentary on Rovers+?
edit: Back now :thumbsup:
-
7 minutes to do it! COYR!!!
-
BAILEY. 2-1 winner.

A very good away win 2 wins on the trot in the new league
Onwards and upwards
COYR
-
Six wins in a row lads.
-
When was the last time we came back from a goal down to win? :)
-
Away win. Late goal. 3 big points against the noisey near neighbours. Exeter 4-1 winners, Rotherham lost. What's not to like.

In the league it was the penultimate match 2 seasons ago - our 10th win on the trot at Colchester, we won 4-1 after conceding an early goal :scarf:

MK Dons winning?
But that’s balanced out by Robbie Savage and FGR cocking up whilst playing for 84 minutes against 10 men.
The Guinness and the takeaway will taste good tonight.

Looks like in pushing Bailey in the back the defender makes his chest the target. Justice done.

Ironside must be wondering what he’s done wrong after watching Hanlan

Terrific how the lads ran back to get the game restarted asap too.
No pissing about taking an age to kick off again and play for a draw.

Got to start him next Saturday in my opinion or play both

I’d start him on Tuesday against Boro

Looking at the match stats we had 45 touches in the Mansfield box.
Best in the division by a mile.

I assume he would play in that game

Yet only two shots on goal that stat has to change
