Here’s today’s team
-
I'd rather Grehan be playing than McGrath but he maybe hasn't come back from international duty 100%
-
Hanlan to start hope he can get a goal or two today, still only 1 recognised striker so still not confident of us getting anything today, hopefully I'll be eating humble pie later this afternoon

Grehan plays most of his football on the right side of the defence. I hope the faith Grant has shown with Mc Grath will be okay he has mistakes in his game.
-
I've a really strange feeling today. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we pulled off the shock of the day with a victory; but I also wouldn't be at all surprised if we got mullered.
I just hope McGrath and O'Riordan don't have a repeat of the nightmare they had at Orient.
-
An opportunity for Hanlan to build on his improved form in recent games.
-
Clifton should be burying that. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us that.
-
We seemed to be getting the bests of the opening exchanges, but the balance has changed more recently. Difficult not to focus on whether or not Hanlan is pulling his weight. He does not seem to have done much with what he has seen of the ball so far, but I’m not a fan of his.
-
I'm only going on stats from Sky and Bet365, but Rovers are not being overwhelmed, and at least the shot they have had was on target.
-
A fair bit of injury time this half

I note that one of our old boys Jordan Houghton has been subbed for them....

Hanlan has been lively. Really put their back line under pressure, and nearly created a goal by chasing down a ball that looked the defenders all day long, robbing him, and squaring into the box (and getting fouled in the process).
This ref isn't giving too many fouls, seems to be making allowance for the awful weather.

Awful weather? just dull and grey and cold here. Not bad for football.

Good - better than Sharp?
-
There seems to be quite a few offsides, a sign that our back 4 are tightening up this game?
-
Nowt happening?
Is it boring?
-
So many good chances, but we never seem to take them - or is just good defending?
-
Appeals for a penalty, looked pretty clear to me, push in the back with no attempt to play the ball? Ref not giving much
-
Quality poor in the final third again. Maxwell needs to learn how to cross a ball. Good for 1 in 20 crosses.
-
Maxwells control of a ball is sooooooo poor, his second touch is normally a tackle.

According to GazLaz he’s our best player…..by a country mile!

Why don't you start to behave like a grown up Usher?Your fixation is not only bizarre, it is also puerile.

A clean sheet, a point away at a club in the top six.
I’ll take that.
-
Sounds like we could’ve and should’ve had more but I would’ve taken a point before kick off with how Stevenage have started this season!
-
A point away after the run we’ve been on is a good point. We had our chances but need to be much more clinical in front of goal

Well, at least we didn't lose! 10 points only between us and the current league leaders. Hope we start catching up soon
-
Looked a pen on Hanlan to me. Other than that decision, thought the ref had a really good game.
We were the best side for a large part of the game. Just can’t put our chances away.
-
Deserved to win that. Also defended really well
-
Really good, gutsy team performance that. Could & should have won it.
-
The angle from the camera behind the goal showed the Hanlan incident looked like a robust shoulder charge and nothing more.

The ref was correct with all of our penalty appeals none were penalties.

The one on Hanlan near the end was a Penalty, it was n’t shoulder to shoulder, it was a push, and like others have said anywhere else on the pitch it is a foul
