Really scrappy start and in fact we’ve spent more time in our half than theirs. They’ve had a few corners and half chances but not made anything count.

No idea on the atmosphere as I’m watching without the sound on!

Lag on ifollow :(. Anderson done round the back for pace, good cross and their winger came in completely unmarked (Blair’s man?) for an easy finish.

They deserve it so far, we’ve been shite.

Pumping aimless balls over the top - Marquis and May don’t have the pace to be getting those and Maxted will be grateful to drag out every goal kick. Step it up Rovers!

Tommy Rowe is looking lively at least. Good move put Marquis into the area but he only managed an air kick under a bit of pressure from their defender.

Quick feet from Rowe got him a bit of room and forced their keeper into a (pretty comfortable) save...Accrington then straight down the other end and missed an easy chance to make it 2.

The table says we are good enough for sixth spot currently. It is what it is. Having said that, we’ve been very poor this half.

And 2-0 down now. Shocking.

No Scapegoat MM to quickly to blame players and revert back to 433 when 4231 was working at the end of the season when players are feeling it. So no scapegoat just stubborn he will learn

Whilst that’s true, 6th place doesn’t mean anything other than there are 5 teams better and significantly more consistent than us in the league. Of course, always a chance we could go up in a playoff system but playing like this it’s highly unlikely

Other than Wilks and possibly Rowe not one player looking League 1 standard out there at the moment... Constant long ball, mis-directed passes, mis-directed heading and no communication between players....

Bottling it, big style. Very, very nervy. We’re carrying on with the Sunderland performance and our end of season form is coming back to haunt us. 45 mins to do something, but is a draw good enough? No, thought not.

Yeah, Rowe other than some crap passing at 40ish mins had been easily our best player.

Mate it’s just my opinion and one I’ve made no secret of before - it’s not just based on 30 minutes of tonight. Of course we could turn this around and still win the game. We could even still go up.

I just don’t think we are good enough. Is that ok with you?

Can’t string a couple of passes together in the attacking half, no service to the front players..

We are making Accrington look good, and they are not.!

The referee is a joke too.. but in all honesty that’s not making much difference if we don’t up our game..

Alan, if we can turn this into a draw it will ha e been a dramatic turn around..  it’s what we have to try and do, get some belief into the players for the next game maybe.?

I think we need to go back to my comments some time ago when I suggested the playoffs this year may be a step too far. I can only see us getting maybe 1 more point now to take us to 70.

Peterborough need 2 wins or 1 win and 2 draws to get above us.

Its not a given they will get these as they play Walsall away who are fighting for their lives as are Stanley.

They play Portsmouth at home who are still with a shout of automatic and finally Burton. I think they will get 4 points which would mean we could sneak it on goal difference and/or by 1 point

It is what it is. If we don’t go up, then we don’t deserve it. The positive is that we are better than 18 other teams. I’d much rather be in our position and have the playoffs to enjoy than not.

We’re a good team. Yes there are some weaknesses obviously, and if we did go up there’d be some significant changes needed.
