Any whispers re who is likely fit yet or what time does Team sheet go in if not
-
Sorry glosterred didn't notice you traditionally kick these off
Won't do it again honest
-
Team sheet’s in at 2. I’m expecting Bostock and James to be out but Fej to be in.

No sweat, your more than welcome to kick these off, see you at 2ish with the team sheet
If someone doesn’t beat me to it

Today’s team
COYR
-
Mmmmm
Not blown away. Hopefully feji is fit enough to play
-
No sims in squad
-
Simoes back after we wrote him off earlier in week - Jammo is a real +
Fej being in is positive and DA replaced on ifollow i guess
-
Interesting to see how we line up with that - James wide left up front, Lokilo wide right and Simoes 10? Or James sitting with Robertson and Smith playing more advanced.
Sims hasn’t looked right since coming back so hopefully a rest/recovery from a knock will do him good. Surprised Simoes is straight in to start but Coppinger/Richards starting for the 3rd time in 8 days is maybe a game too far.
-
I presume Reece is being played further forward
John in for extra defensive capacity
-
5-4-1
-
Relief that at least we have a no 9 starting.
Just hope we keep it simple. Do the basics well, keep the opposition to nil and build from there.
We have match winners on the bench so no excuses for the starting XI not to give it 100% from the off.
3 points vital today.
-
Fair bit of pace in there today. Hopefully Simoes can step up.
-
Amos on the bench
-
Bogle on commentary!
-
Bogle sounds quite articulate and it will be interesting to hear what he has to say.
-
Ipswich beating Plymouth
-

Quality already "am I allowed to be biased"
-
MKD beating Accrington
-
How can the ref not book Hoskins there for kicking the ball away, right under his nose.
If he does he stamps his authority on the game.
-
Bogle on commentary!
has he said anything about his injury? I was late switching match on.

Their own worst enemies sometimes referees
-
They’re a big side and bullying us too
-

Back next week, midweek hopefully.
-
Dull so far
-
Can tell already that these are going to be going down and in the refs ear at every chance.
-

nice one. Thank you. He’s a big player for us.
-
Ref tells physio to come on for the head injury and the players say no said head injury player then takes the free kick.
Ref losing control already if he ever had it
-
Can tell already that these are going to be going down and in the refs ear at every chance.
Agreed, no way did that defender take a blow to the face.
-
You wouldn’t think either of these teams has anything to play for, very flat and a real end of season feeling to the game so far.
-
Hull beating Oxford
-
First chance of the game, looked like a corner came off a defender and nearly snuck in.
-
Close from a couple of corners
-
Robertson off Richards on
-
Robertson off Richards on
Tactical?
-
Injury. We’re having some terrible luck at the moment.
-
Dragging us down to their level?
-
Robertson off Richards on
Tactical?
Jogged off so would say unwell more than injury
-
In Butlers first two games last week we were moving the ball much more quickly than we had been doing in previous weeks.
It seems to have slipped back to slow again today, and at Crewe to be truthful.
-
Get Amos on for John
Please
-
We need to move the ball quicker.
Making runs in behind
-
Is that due to a change (enforced) in the personnel though?
-
Northampton quicker to everything right now. We need to sharpen up
-
They are looking more of a threat....can’t see us getting anything at all from this one...giving away far too many set pieces, now the positives..............................................Fej is back and ....Simoes looks quite handy....
And Lokilo is not very good .
-
Massive lack of intensity here, with Northampton looking the more likely.
-
John is needlessly conceding corners
-
good shot by richards
-
Boring zzzzzzz
-
Northampton defend by just getting everyone back and blocking everything if we are gonna get a goal it will be on the counter or a set piece
-
John is needlessly conceding corners
His first touch is shocking
-
So much diving from them.
-
cheating bas**rds this lot
-
I think Northampton are more likely to score from a set piece, we seem to be conceding them quite often.
-
So much diving from them.
...and zero bookings for it.
-
Well, that was pretty boring ...
-
Why does James never cross a ball? He always goes backwards from those positions.
-
Well that was a half to forget
-
Sometimes the stupidity of footballers baffles me. We’re over a minute into stoppage time and have the chance to create one last opportunity if we swing it into the box...and Smith takes it short. Mind boggling.
-
Don’t know how it’s took until half time for someone to be booked with the amount of times they kicked the ball away and dived
-
Finally a yellow for them hope they can pick up a few more early in the 2nd
All the diving must have been watching Lincoln winning all the penalties
-
Ref has lost control of this game.
On another note. Last kick of the first half and we are playing the free kick short? Why? That is so so poor.
-
One of these teams is in 21st place and one is in 5th....
But im sure the excuses for this lacklustre performance will be numerous
The commentary team are seriously wearing rose tinted glasses....making abject mediocrity sound great...
-
Again, that number four kicks the ball away right in front of the ref and the useless get doesn’t book him.
Also he should take action against the player who dived to try and win a pen just before half time.
Even Bogle said “what is he doing”.
-
Well that summed it up. Chance to put ball in the box with no time left and instead we play it wide ffs.
-
When referees let players get away with so much cheating and kicking the ball away I'm afraid they don't deserve any respect.
-
cheating bas**rds this lot
Not surprising....it’s just clicked that their caretaker boss is the same John Brady that used to ponce about in an Alice Band for Rushden & Diamonds who were masters of gamesmanship under Brian Talbot.

Do you think the ref is good then and are Northampton players diving or not.
-
We have not looked promotion candidates for some time.difficult to see where a goal is coming from.Amos on for John, he is winning nothing.
-
We need a piece of Coppinger magic to unlock them. Job done.
-
This league is crazy....
Crewe v Burton
Possession 73% - 27 %
Corners 7 - 0

That is an excuse for us not being able to play round them or through them.....I am not seeing a team I support playing better than the team we are playing....
The ref is their to do a job, he will make mistakes, players will dive....they are only important when you are looking for any reason to justify the possibility of defeat....
All I can see is Northampton attacking better than us and defending better than us with a team 16 places lower than us....

Dont you think that two bad decisions by officials cost us dearly at Crewe.
-
Copps on.
-
Looking pretty attacking now, will be great when we’re on the ball but I fear for us without it.
-
Positive change from Butler. Let’s hope it pays off
-
Ifollow’s so crap sometimes it’s laughable. Replay of a Reece James daisy cutter from midway through the first half just shown
-
Martin Woods scores a penalty for Halifax.
Goal must have been 30 feet high..
-
We look so vulnerable when teams play high balls into our box.
-
Copps on and a chance created COYR!!!!!!

Not many options available to Butts to get some urgency on the pitch.

I think we looked like a team jst above the drop zone....
When a team is in the top 6 it tends to have something about it that makes it special.........in our case it’s been huge amounts of luck, and a tendency to flatter to deceive....
Yes we have won many games, but we have only really outclassed maybe a handful of those teams........

Things are not as bad as that, it would be remarkable to be lucky for 33 matches, There is some quality in Rovers, but we are struggling today.

This ref really needs to get a grip on the game.
Another dive looking for a penalty goes unpunished.
-
everytime we break they are fouling us. need more yellows so they pack it in, otherwise they'll keep doing it!
-
Their player just cleared off our goal line!
Incredible bit of luck, that.
-
These are some diving b**tards! Another one went down looking for a peno after that clearance off the line. No yellow though!
-
Hit their player on back of head?

Yes I could say that we are playing good solid football, and when we lose I could say that we were unlucky.....but that would be a bit dishonest....

Simoes has been a bright spot in this game, probably been our best player. Great to see someone willing to try and beat a man.
-
Current betting on Sky, Rovers 3/1 to win, Nhampton 5/1 1/2 the draw. They don't have much faith in either team scoring!

Why do we watch football?
There is no enjoyment in this for anybody.

FT 0-0

What has happened to Gomes? From player of the month a few months ago to looking like a competition winner. He looks absolutely terrible at the moment.
-
Totally uninspiring. We never looked like scoring.
-
Ok...so I don’t come across as being too negative..
That was a good solid performance by rovers, many great passages of play and with a bit of luck we could have been worthy winners, I feel the ref allowed far too much play acting by the cobblers
Special mention to all the team for putting in a good shift and getting a well earned point......

A positive? A clean sheet!

The only positive thing that you can say about that shite was we didn't lose.

A point and a clean sheet is far better than a defeat. Still in the play off hunt
-
Dreadful
-
1 point is better than 0, 5 points behind 3rd placed Lincoln with 2 games in hand, on to the next one :scarf:
-
Terrible game. We were a bit more lively second half, but on the evidence of performances going back a fair while now, we’ll do well to hang on to a top 6 place IMO.

He was terrible he improved but not disciplined he gone back to what he was. He’s a player that does is own thing but his passing is poor never been different.
-
Those top two places are getting further out of reach.
Now twelve points behind Hull and six behind Peterbro.
Before anyone mentions the games in hand, remember that we would need to win them all.
We had games in hand that would have taken us top had we won them.......and we didn’t.

Numerous posts telling the “truth” everytime we don’t win.
When we win you’re nowhere to be seen,
You just sit at home waiting for a result that’s not great so you can come on here and bore us all to tears
-
Bit better second half but could not see where a goal was coming from.very sad that Gomes is the best we could use as a sub.we are still up there though.

The only way we could catch is if we had the best eleven players, playing match after match but injuries have reduced that and some of those players are still not available.

I think Omar summed it up nicely at the end when he just managed to stop himself saying WTF was that.
-
Shocking we could of played all night and not scored , Oxford away next can’t see that ending well if I’m honest
-
I think Omar summed it up nicely at the end when he just managed to stop himself saying WTF was that.
in the 93rd min when we were playing back. Along the back line you could hear him going, no, no, no, etc. Last few seconds, just get it in the box!!, no debate!
-
What has happened to Gomes? From player of the month a few months ago to looking like a competition winner. He looks absolutely terrible at the moment.
He just hit a purple patch where he was scoring goals, always thought he was bang average myself.
-
Didn't see today's game so can't comment on the performance, but the result is very disappointing. We really needed to win today with three consecutive awkward away games to come now we'll be doing well to hang on to a play off place.
-
Sorry to be negative but if we continue to play like that we are heading for mid table mediocrity
-
I think Omar summed it up nicely at the end when he just managed to stop himself saying WTF was that.
Let’s hope Omar, John Bostock and Sims are available for the next matches because without them we are a mid table side.
-
In Butlers first two games last week we were moving the ball much more quickly than we had been doing in previous weeks.
It seems to have slipped back to slow again today, and at Crewe to be truthful.
Bostock effect. We are bang average at the moment without Bostock & Bogle. Bostock would have unpacked their defence today if he was playing!
-
I just remembered the Cruyff turn by Louis Jones in the second half.
That is the second time he has done it since he came into the team.
