Today’s team
COYR
-
That looks like a back threeBailey Pearson and McGrath to me
-
Or a back 4 Sterry, McGrath, Pearson, Maxwell.?
Then again it could be a back 3 if we have Maxwell as LWB to provide an attacking option on the left?
-
TLT a waste of a loan spot if we’re going to play Lawlor.
-
It's more than time that Lawlor got the shirt.
-
A lot of games over this period, so good to see everyone get involved.
-

Couldn’t disagree more.
We need 2 keepers immediately available for the first team, whether or not one is a loanee. We’re losing too many games so changing the keeper is t an issue is it.?

For me, close is in there as cover for Bailey’s midfield position
-
I’d be happy with Bailey playing no10..
-
Come out all guns blazing and get an early goal again would be nice but I’ve a feeling we’ll adopt a more cautious approach early game for this one. Let’s really hope we can be much more solid at the back than of late. Come on Rovers !!!
-
Feels really subdued here, home & away fans....
Even the PA system is barely audible.
-
Bailey misses a sitter
-
Bailey misses a sitter
you except him to score that

They get that chance , they score
-
Have we ever played the same starting eleven in consecutive games this season
-
you are honoured (perhaps not) with having me here
as the team supposed to be going in the opposite direction to Blackpool (manager had a disasterous record in my world and always blamed everyone but himself at Bolton) almost takes the lead
he wasted so much money at Bolton - he also had shares in the club |!!!
cheeky barsteward commentator Sharpe " beyond a veteran now"
-

You called it
-
Are we playing for a nil nil draw?
-
We look very lob sided. No width on the left so Hanlan keeps drifting out there leaving no one up front.
-
1-0 down
-
That's a shocking goal to concede, especially when you're playing a back 5
-
Not any more.. big delay from lawyer coming off his line ffs
-
Are we playing for a nil nil draw?
So, plan B…
-
Are we playing for a nil nil draw?
Well if we were that plan is out of the window.
-
We are really shit defensively.
-
More cracking defending ffs
-
Teams know we leave that channel open
-
Awful goal to concede. Maxwell misjudged an interception, McGrath thinks he's playing in midfield and is nowhere, man unmarked in the middle. What do we work on all week?
-
Maxwell has to do better
-
Seem to find myself asking this a lot these days. But where was McGrath? That was down his channel.
-
And Lawlor should have done something, anything!
-
Maxwell has to do better
Along with Pearson and McGrath
-
vale 2-0 down at Huddersfield and
Mansfield who I expect to get relegated 2-0 down at Barnsley
plymouth 0 Reading 3
-
Schoolboy defending from Maxwell, they'll be targeting that side now.
-
What a poor goal to concede
-
Why haven’t the club sent someone to do commentary when people pay for that service? Sky commentator on rovers+ giving no description of events as he’s on tele.
-
Great save Lawlor
-
Terrific stop from Lawlor. Doubt whether TLT would have got that one.
-
Forget the criticism of anyone else. Maxwell was 100% to blame for their goal.

As far as I know the sky coommentator isn’t actually there, he’s watching it on a monitor like a lot of us which would explain the lack of in depth commentary.
-
I think the plan is to save our energy for the second half.
-
Maxwell is having a nightmare.
But so is the whole team as usual.
-
Getting ripped apart by a right back.
-
Both full backs have been poor. But we are not going to win the game with this set up. May aswell have an extra attacker on. The centre halves have been fine but we've no attacking threat.
-
Its just awful. Out muscled, no cohesion, what little possession we get, we just end up passing back, only for it to get hoofed aimlessly, upfield.
We are really poor, no shots on target either.
-
Awful, Maxwell was terrible for the goal and once again we don’t take the chance

-
Get Senior on
-
We are very poor. Mccann not learning anything.
-
Blackpool seems to tail off as the half went on which is some encouragement. Sterry and Moly didn’t seem to be able to get their double act going at all. Dare I say we are missing a threat up the left side … Gibson??
-
Get Senior on
Absolutely, and someone said the other day that we should have got rid of him.
Jesus wept.

To be fair we are missing a threat all over
-
Blackpool first half stronger bigger technically better. Maxwell fault for goal where was McGrath. Defensively they are better. Midfield they are better upfront they are better. Our players are league 2 standard. Bailey should have scored with the only chance we've had.
-

The players aren't good enough you can't make a league one dominant side with players we have
-
Sharp on for Sterry
-
Get Senior on
Absolutely, and someone said the other day that we should have got rid of him.
Jesus wept.
If that was in reference to me I just meant let him go when his contract was up, so we could have got someone much better to start over Maxwell.
I like Senior but he’s not the answer for this level either.
-
GET MAXWELL OFF!!
-
Maxwell looks half hearted in everything he does
-
He’s a better defender than Maxwell and has a goal in him
-
Imray is very good and wish Molyneux could step up and look as good
-
Free header ffs McGrath
-

Started game by saying with Charlie Crew unavailable, Pearson was filling in at the back. And that Molyneux has been struggling for form recently.
-
Definitely foul on Hanlan ref gives nothing
-
What’s the point in putting Sharp on to play as a left winger ffs
-
Oooh Bails
-
Bailey missed another headed chance
-
That was disappointing.
-
How many times does Close have to put it on a plate for someone before we put one away.
-
Definitely foul on Hanlan ref gives nothing
Was foul plus yellow, and the Blackpool player now has a yellow which should have been his second (or he wouldn't have fouled Hanlan in a promising situation)
-
How is that not a second yellow?!
-

His free kicks are at least as good as Moly’s who is better on the receiving end
-
How is that not a second yellow?!
Yep, another, on another day Blackpool could be down to 9
-
Mrs Honeyman should have gone there.
-
Every week is the same. Why are referees at this level so poor.
-
a goal for us would turn our season !
vale only 5-0 down and counting
-
just put £1 on us at 42/1 to win
-
We just need a bit of luck
-
We just need a bit of luck
Feels like we’ve been saying this (and ‘on another day we win that’) since September
-
Looks unlikely we will get much here but there is something to take away from this in terms of the second half fight at least. The set up in the first half was a horror show though. Was Grant on the sherry last night?

The set up and the lack of effort
-
Why is the Blackpool player not off the pitch for the treatment
-
Not the result we wanted there.
-
Not enough until it got too late Hanlan should score and thats a penalty near the end when he gets pulled down by his shirt
-
Just couldn't take the chances but we got better second half still not good enough
-
Chances!!! Got to take at least one of them!
-
ended up with another battle of the Alamo like that Bromley match last season
-
Thought we were better defensively with Pearson in. But got to be taking those chances. Definitely a point dropped.
-
Better second half, first half hopeless, aimless football. On the positive side Hanlon is becoming a real handful for defences. Without naming names as it does no good, but there were 2 or 3 out there today who should be nowhere near the first 11 on Monday.

there certainly isn't a lack of effort. A lack of quality yes but not lack of effort
-
I remember walking back to the car at Huddersfield and listening to some of their fans saying that we would be in the mix at the top come the end of the season.
