Today’s team
COYR
-
Sharp starting is smart. Nailed on for a booking though!
-
We often start well at Rotherham but the thing that's cost us in the past is keeping our discipline and composure to the end.
Really hope we can make a fast start and capitalise by getting a two goal cushion going into the last quarter. Get the home crowd on the players and managers back.
COYR!!

Good morning everyone, getting ready for k.o.
-
Come on Rovers!!
-
Good morning everyone, getting ready for k.o.
Good morning from Madeira, Portugal. Sun is shining and the teams are out in Rovrum. Come on Donny.

Penalty
-
McGrath ffs
-
McGrath cock up after 30 seconds
-
Was it the right call?
-
Could have been a red
-
threw himself to the floor
-
Deffo a pen
-
Sh**. Giving it away again!
-
1-0
-
Lost for words.
Slightly uphill task now but plenty of time.
-
Was just about to say I have a really good feeling about today!
-
McGrath made a right mess of it
-
McGrath is a liability
-
Our defence looking shaky early doors
-
The complete opposite of what we wanted to happen
-
The complete opposite of what we wanted to happen
Yep, we’ve given them the lift we didn’t want to
-
Poor defending by McGrath, no chance to save.one error of many he makes.
-
Jay's a nailed on red card today.
-
Another mix up in defence. Christ we look dodgy back there
-
If i was ben close id be kicking grants door down monday morning
-
The way it is going you wonder how many we are going to lose by! Not being able to pass a ball forward, can't defend, this is very worrying to say the least.
-
If i was ben close id be kicking grants door down monday morning
Said he was injured
-
Byrne not got a yellow
-
Need to take McGrath off before he’s sent off, not got an ounce of sense
-

he appears as thick as mince. Repeats the same mistakes. Never learns.
-
Panicking maybe....
BobG
-
McCann has been ridiculously loyal to McGrath
-
Think a double switch and get a center forward on. Toothless up front
-
Half an hour in and the stats suggest we've managed one shot off target (0.09xG). Have we been as bad as that suggests?
-
Yes
-
Great save by TLT
-
Its not looking great is it .
-

Worse
-
Both the players and the management so far, don't seem to have a clue how to get back into this match and seem content to rely on luck to keep the score down to one.
-
second to every ball, they want it more
-
We’ve been battered in this half, it’s embarrassing how simple the football they are playing is and we can’t deal with.
They need an absolute bollocking at half time, nowhere near at the levels required.
-
Apart from Gotts no Rovers player has started yet
-
Moly might as well be sat with me
-
Another Wycombe performance, we are just lucky Rotherham are not good enough to make the most of it. Change is needed , whether it is personnel or tactics. It is poor.
-
bloody rubbish, Rovers - absolute embarrassment so far - the only redeeming feature is that Rotherham are sufficiently piss poor to only be one goal up...
-
Second best all over the pitch. Very poor so far.
-
Awful performance. Rotherham far more up for it. Not good enough.
-
Nowhere near good enough, playing a team low on confidence we come out like a rabbit in the headlights, get McGrath off before he gets sent off
-
Awful performance. Rotherham far more up for it. Not good enough.
exactly - all the obvious limitations apart, you'd like to think that we'd at least match them for effort and commitment given the importance of the match - to simply not turn up is unforgiveable :thumbdown:
-
Nowhere near good enough, playing a team low on confidence we come out like a rabbit in the headlights, get McGrath off before he gets sent off
He was very lucky to get away with just a yellow for the pen.
-
Rotherham are shite yet we are making them look good. We need the energy of Clifton on the pitch.
-
I suppose the saving grace would be that if he is sent off at least he can't play again for a few games!
BobG
-
Unfortunately we keep playing the same people that are not or no longer at the standard required
-
I did email my mate asking if it was game over after one minute, Rovers are not good at coming back from being behind. The rest of that half justified that call. We have been lucky so far, I reckon a bit more steel in midfield to feed forwards, maybe Clifton or Broadbent on for Lee, bring Mols and Haks further in from the wing at times to feed Bails and Billy.
-
Byrne not got a yellow
Pen all day long coukd of even been a red,and yes Byrne is on a yellow
-

totally agree ,that is the worst half of football I have seen in a long time ,take sharpe off put on Clifton and play lee up front
-

I agree
-
The best thing about that was it is now over. Grant has to change things.
Half time and only 1 down is nothing to overly worry about- IF we can show what we have been doing recently.
It is definitely one of the worst half’s I’ve watched this season, magnified even further by who we are playing.
-
They all need smelling salts at half time. Waking up will be a good start just to match them.
-
That was utterly embarrassing & nowhere near good enough.
-

The only problem with taking McGrath off is that the only replacement is Bailey, so we lose striking power, Pearson is too slow and unreliable to put him on and leave the left hand side open for them to drive through.
-
If they put Hanlon on the best we can look for is losing 1-0, he is hopeless.
-
There should have been a red for that awful looking elbow to the eye socket of McGrath by their striker - I’m still shocked given it was around the halfway line, the 4th and lino should’ve flagged that up.
-

He's on.
-
Yes VAR and it would have been a Red but rely on 4th to keep stum , even though the one at Bradford got their goal disallowed
-
Subs Grants gone mad Three players who could score to three players who haven't got the ability to score.
-
50 minutes in... we haven't turned up.
-
GET IN!!!!!!!
-
I love being proved wrong!!!! COYR!!!!!!
-
If they put Hanlon on the best we can look for is losing 1-0, he is hopeless.
Please can you in short order similarly slag off another of our potential substitutes.
-
Think we got lucky, looked well offside. But who cares!! Also looked like we might have hand balled it in our box just before
-
looked a country mile offside - which makes it even better :woohoo:
-
Middleton's done more in 10 mins than Moly's done in 55mins
-
We look a lot better this half.
-

This didn’t age well
-

So have Clifton and Hanlon
-
Hanlon scores from a Middleton cross what do I know.
-
Feisty last third coming up? Both sides needing the win.
-
Subs have made a big difference
-
Hanlan brought his banjo on with him & that bull should never have turned its back on him.
-

Certainly! Bloody Middleton, never shoots! :)
-
We are a totally different side this half
-
Just need Mols to turn up now!
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Brilliant!!!! Go Mols! COYR!!!!
-
Just need Mols to turn up now!
He has now
-
Just need Mols to turn up now!
And there we go!!
-
Just need Mols to turn up now!
Are you a seer?
-
comedy goalkeeping - laughable Miller tw@t :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Clifton giving a bite in midfield and Middleton showing some real bottle on the wing, we have a cracking manager!
-
Middleton's done more in 10 mins than Moly's done in 55mins
It's entertaining reading some of the comments on here with the benefit of hindsight.
-
That was brilliant by Mols
-
Middleton's done more in 10 mins than Moly's done in 55mins
:scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
Can we stop our players celebrating quite so enthusiastically? Hope they last the game out ok.
-
It’s all about hanlan this half, totally transformed us and put the sh…s up em.
A proper strikers goal, and then holds up the ball fancy tricks and a ball for Molly to score!
Never been league one quality though

Broadbent for Gotts, fresh legs to do the same job.
-
This is like a league survival semi final. Squeaky bum time!

Moly’s goal

Clown!
-
Imagine doing that in a game of this size.
-
Hanlon nearly kills it!
-
Nearly, offside.
-
Hope we don't regret that!
-
Not sure that was offside
-
8 mins added on
-
8 minute, COYR!!!! Manage the game out.
-
Need to keep our heads. Nothing ailly
-
Great piece of defensive work by Gibson
-
What a comeback
-
10 points off Huddersfield with a game in hand.. Forget all the teams between them but see you at wolves away next season
-
Game over!!! 3 more points on the path up this division, well done GM, a brilliant choice of subs, they made the difference.
-
Is that the first time coming from behind to win?
-
Get in.!!
I reckon that’s 17 points from 9 matches in 2026, regardless of the quality of performances both team and individual players.
Onwards and upwards.!
-
41 years of hurt over with that win. First half, we’ll forget about, second half more like the Rovers we know and love
Onwards and upwards
COYR
-
Is that the moment Grant understands our limitations with the team picked in the first half
-

matters not a shite of the shiniest variety - precisely none of those points are for artistic impression, looking good or trying hard
get in, Rovers :cool:
-
What a difference a bit of energy makes, the subs were outstanding, and the disallowed goal was onside
-

This has given you a great big bite mark on the arse
-

Big suspicions over the one that stood, though.
-
I watched the game on tele, and the defender trying to stop Middleton getting the cross in for Hanlon to score was playing Hanlon onside, just. Hanlon was in front of the defender chasing him into the box as he scored, but he was not in front of the last defender out on the left trying to stop Middleton getting the cross in from what I could see.
-
Brilliant result, & a great turnaround, well done the subs.
