Tonight’s team

Fingers crossed that Rovers midfield will defend and press properly tonight.
-
Well off our strongest side on paper here
-
Our second team has been stronger than most of this division, Huddersfield care less about this competition than we do, I go for a win tonight, 1-2
-
8 changes from Huddersfield’s last league game compared to 10 for us. Alfie playing up front for them.

How can we not care about being 2 games from Wembley?
-
To be fair it has worked so far this season, they have had shots unlike us unfortunately.
-
15 passes around the back four for no reason
-
Rovers not really penetrating their half at the moment.
-
Wish the commentary geezer would stop calling Middleton Robinson on Rovers+ video stream
-
Has anyone got any paint I can watch dry?
-
This formation just does not work at all.
A 40 year old lone striker up top, 4 stationary midfielders not making any runs and a holding midfielder stood between the centre halves.
Grant McCanns season in a nutshell

Sky commentator doesn’t know most of the Rovers players’ names.
-
Its look like we've never played together before
-

Sadly no….. it’s not the Johnstones Paint Trophy anymore you know!
Penalteeeeeee
-
Gibson looks like he’s got his can’t be arsed head on
-
A gift
-
1-0!!!!
-

I didn't realise he was playing..

Bill
-
Nobody will ever convince me that inverted wingers is a great idea
Stifles momentum, and makes it obvious what the winger needs to do to cut back inside
I absolutely hate it
-
For me Middleton needs to go back to the other side, Gibson showing why he isn’t in the team.
-
Doesn’t help Middleton and Gibson are not good enough.
-
Taxi for Gibson!
-
The in midfield all the same players working to close down no pace going forward or backwards. They are doing a job but that's it. Gibson and Middleton again okay defensively but not doing anything going forward. Gibson loses the ball when he try's Middleton not doing anything going forward. Defence okay but very slow. None of the players showing they are good enough for a good league one side
-
Good lord, where to start with that? So disjointed as a team, and such lack of control of the game.
Still we are winning - get in!
Fingers crossed we try to attempt to play in the second half. It doesn’t look like it would take much of an improvement to beat these based on that first half.
-
Half time 0-1 this is not a classic game of football. But we lead and that is all that matters

-
Rovers can bless their lucky star they are ahead in this match, they have been in their penalty area maybe twice I reckon, a good job the ref was looking after us! He must have felt sorry for us. We need at least Adelakun and Bailey on at half time.
-
Regardless of what folks think of some of our players starting tonight, I think it’s fair they get a game after the performance last Saturday.
These players are talented enough.
It’s the lack of consistency that doesn’t see them featuring more frequently at league one level. Sharp aside, who has nowt to prove.
-
That really was another lacklustre first half though. Hopefully we’ll improve second half, and happy to be leading!
-
That first half replicated the lack of intensity at Wycombe. If they don’t show more enterprise in the second, it reflects badly on (lack of) managerial influence.
-
That was a bad miss by Close!
-
1:1
-
Shite from Grehan and TLT.
-
Getting caught flat footed straight after half time AGAIN!!!!
-
Anything hard and low is a goal.
-
''Substitution, Huddersfield Town. Cameron Ashia replaces Mickel Miller'' bbc
Sub comes on and scores.
-
We can't string two passes together - awful!
-
It’s a better game in this half by a mile.
-
That goal defensively was useless from a poor attempt by Grehan to Nixon not going to close it down. Poor attempt from TLT
-
Anything hard and low is a goal.
At any level, low & hard tends to result in goals, especially in this weather.
-
Robinson departs after maintaining a low profile
-

Don’t forget, it came from OUR corner ffs
-
Huddersfield have had 6 shots on target, TLT has let one in. Just saying.
-
TLT is actually starting to embarrass the club with how bad he is. Wouldn't get a game in any other league 1 club
-
The defence is awful, it’s like the parting of the waves every time they run at us.

Which is it.?
Some comments by fans are embarrassing.!
-
Adelakun and Hanlon on, ten minutes to win it?
-
The lack of pace in the team is frightening in comparison to most teams I’ve seen. I hope Grant can sort that out next season

I think some are a little too quick to blame TLT when it is a failing of the whole defence.
-
Always has to be a scapegoat. Why.?
-
Is there extra time if needed...?
-
Stats - we're now on 53 possession, thoiugh the beeb statto is off in some other sections, so guessing we're still shite?
-
TLT just kept us in it with a great save
-
Is there extra time if needed...?
No straight to pens
-
Huddersfield have one of the shortest midfields I’ve seen in ages?
-

Straight to pens unless there’s a goal in the next few mins
-

Perhaps they're just far away.
-
Maxwell, what are you doing
-
I take it back. TLT has kept us in the game.
-
Another great save from TLT
-
More saves to come from TLT :chair:
-
TLT could be our penalty hero
-
Tim is getting tok much criticism. For me it's the two rows of four in front of him.
-
Another f*cling corner for rovers, and they end up breaking away and nearly scoring again
-
Pens it is...
-
Much better half of football, some scary moments but I feel a lot happier after that, irrespective of the penalties.
-
Not a great game let's be honest. TLT played well for me, hope he can pull off the pens.
-
May saved! :scarf:
-
Oh dear Mols, way too casual
-
TLT ON FIRE!!!!
-
2 saves from TLT! sadly also on Molly
-
Close scores
-
TLT Hat trick!!
-
TLT is actually starting to embarrass the club with how bad he is. Wouldn't get a game in any other league 1 club
I think you're embarrasing yourself with that rubbish.
-
3 saves now.. what a shit keeper eh.????
-
Is he Paul Crichton in disguise?
-
Gotts makes it 2-0
-
Get in there
-
TLT take a bow!!
-
We won... unbelievably...
-
Crazy crazy crazy
-
TLT Man of the match
-
Take a bow TLT
-
That’ll do nicely..
-
Penalty kings - Sharp too. But what a night for Timmy!
-
Well done TLT some big saves in the game and then that shot out. 2 excellent diving saves from good penalties.
-
TLT the hero tonight.
-
Another £50k in the bank.
-
TLT gets us through, still useless?

This aged really well
-
Would you believe it TLT in the game and the penalties MOM papered over the massive cracks in the team. Grehan very poor Maxwell can go for me at the end of the season we need better. Midfield one paced even when Gotts and Bailey came on. Attack wasn't good enough. We won very good but we need 10 times better when we play these in the league.
-
Jan Budtz, Paul Crichton and now TLT
Onwards and upwards

Maxwell trying to Meg their winger by his own penalty box nearly cost us.

It’s hard to look good away at a team that realistically are always going to have better players than us. They’re a big club at this level, we never will be. We’re not Barcelona but we won, enjoy the moment, have a cuppa tea maybe even a chocolate Hobnob.
