Today’s team
COYR
-
Nice to see us stronger and decent bench
It will be 28 to 1 for us to be losing HT & winning FT LOL
-
Promising line up that.good chance today. :thumbsup:
-
To me, it looks like we have the wrong full back moved to midfield. Fatty's no fool he will have watched the Oxford game and tweaked things to push down our right hand side. A midfield of Halliday and Smith is just as good as James and Smith, in my opinion.
-
That is a lot of people coming back, Bogle and Fej up front will give us options from midfield, first time we have had that properly since Portsmouth. I don't think Fej was right in the previous two games. Horton is an interesting choice, he obviously did well against Oxford and deserves another chance. Sims if fully fit could cause immense problems for a lumbering central defence at Gillingham, I just hope the lads avoid being kicked by one of the dirtiest teams in the league.
-
Yes. One would expect every club in this league to know about our right hand side... Still, it is a much better looking side than one or two recently!

I don't think Horton will be in midfield.

We could be playing with Wright,Anderson,Horton as 3 centre half’s and Halliday and James as wingbacks, Gillingham have got some big lads . Just an idea

Can't remember is Horton a big lad?

Robbie Andrews said he was on comms the other night, can't say it was noticeable on the screen & he looked mobile enough.
-
Like it but I think I’d have preferred to see Reece back at left back as arguably Gillingham’s best player, Graham plays on the right wing. Big test for Horton today.
-
Team looks much better but slightly concerned that any of the returning players might not quite be ready - hopefully they’ve proven their fitness though and ready to go.

If you are going play three at the you would have expected John to be playing so I don’t see that. Or could that AB doesn’t fancy John to play.
-
FFS!!!!!!!
-
Ffs one down
-
What was Anderson doing?
-
FFS ... our defence is just dreadful.
-
f**king pathetic. We have completely lost the ability to defend.
-
1-0 (2 mins)
-
Unbelievable.
Akinde made Anderson look like a cart horse then all our defenders miss a poor cross.
-
ffs. ! FSF !!!
-
ANOTHER shit start!
-
2-0 down after 4 minutes, I'm sorry not sticking round too long now.
-
2-0 (4mins)
WTF
-
I really can't believe this.
-
Why did I pay for this?
-
5 minutes, game over already
-
I just can’t believe what I’m reading.
Now 2-0 down!
-
I’ll repeat. Our defence is just dreadful.
-
I really can't believe this.
Same. Don't understand what I'm watching.
-
We’re f**ked already, not even been in their box yet
-
Game over!
-
Total utter GRABAGE defending! Are we really League 1 material? I've seen Sunday School kids play better!
-
Best defence in the league.
Don’t make me laugh.
-
Don’t bother changing over for the cricket either.
-
Game over unfortunately I really can’t see us getting anything
-
Glad i not paid a tenner today. We have totally collasped.
-
A promising attacking line up and what does the defence do? ... leaves us with a mountain to climb !
-
f**king disgraceful.
-
At least all the silly “ we are good enough for the Championship” nonsense can stop now, ... we are a half decent tier3 team that will cause some teams a few problems and get beaten just as much.....
RIP those wayward dreams!
-
Only a matter of time before we fall out of the play off places and worse into the bottom half
-
We’re a shambles
This isn’t butlers fault but we were very naive to give him the job until the end of the season
Charlton and Portsmouth have shown us how a club should respond to losing their manager
We’re a shambles
-
Watching Cheltenham might be a better option, horse racing or football!!!
-
We need a new back 5 come the end of the season.
-
My boys have come round to surprise me for my birthday with Rovers scarves to watch the match. Logged in a bit late and 2-0 down already. This is ridiculous!
-
Picking the ball out your net twice in the first 5 minutes is shambolic
-
Are we still only 2 down?
-
Plenty of time to rescue this, we just need some time on the ball and get one back before half time.
-
I feel sorry for you Peebles, the players should be made to apologise publicly for this sort of attempt to "entertain".
-
Not watching it which side have the crosses come in from?
-

Cheltenham is over

One from each side.

I can’t blame Butler either. He was asked to catch a falling knife.
-
Not watching it which side have the crosses come in from?
One from each side.
To be fair wasn't the second from a throw in straight in front of the goal? Horton wasn't involved or to blame.
-
Time to bring in a free agent. Need to strengthen this defence.

No, it was a short throw that was played back to the thrower who crossed the ball.
-
Ball possession: 21:79% to Rovers! Meaningless statement, eh?
-
2-1
-
Game on! Come on lads we can win this.
-
Well done Tom Anderson. Great header.
-
Brilliant ball in by Copps and a good headed goal.
-
Joe Wright is an awful defender. Turns his back on corners when challenging for the ball. No wonder we concede so many goals
-
got 1 back , just when I was thinking of going and ping the ironing COYR
-
Get in!!!
-

And interesting when our best run of the season was.
-
Just seen the 2 goals on skysports..... our weaknesses are glaringly obvious....and looking at he chasing pack I'm thinking I’d take 9th place now and be happy...
Start thinking about next season, bigger physical players, a system that isn’t too taxing mentally and some experienced heads....
Get rid of those that think a cameo performance is adequate.....
-
Oxford losing, Charlton drawing. We MIGHT just hang on to our play off place !
-
Well done Tom Anderson. Great header.
At last! :thumbsup:
-
Going to win 5-4
-
Equaliser!!!
-
Yes he still keeps getting picked he needs to show better for the rest of the game. If it was John he would be hung line and quarted by some on this board. Yet Wright has not been good for the last three games at least.
-
Come on Rovers, stay solid. :whistle:
-
Goooaaaallllll
-
Copps
-
Going to win 5-4
I’ll settle for 3-2, Keith!...or even a draw!
-
Get in copps
-
Whatever happened to ungentlemanly conduct
Akinde obstructing Jones View of his wall. I would have Carded the C
-
Yeeessssssss!!!! 2-2

Have you seen our two goals.

50 year old getting us out of the shit

Well the old man has equalised well done Copps
-
Sort out the defence and we will get top 6.
-
Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Plenty of time to rescue this, we just need some time on the ball and get one back before half time.
Well said mate.
:)
-
Copps :scarf: :scarf:
the ironing can wait.

When's the earliest we can get promoted?
-
Come on shabby where are u now?
-
Looking at the goals we are as bad as each other
-
f**king brilliant!!!
-
50 year old getting us out of the shit
To be fair we are playing really well now.
-
Bizarre game.
-
I just do not believe it! Absolutely great, Rovers. Come on!
-
Some wonderful comments on Copps on Radio 5Live. Nice!
-
We’re the better team by far.
Just no more silly mistakes at the back now please Rovers.
-

Smith is on fire

Andy Reid's a big fan by the sounds of it.
-
When we were 2 down, my son went to put a fiver on at 15/1, by the time he logged on, we pulled 2 back and the odds are at 6/4 now.
-

we’ve played well all game, absolutely battered them so far just shocking defending in first few mins.

Must be something of a record: only 34 minutes played and 100 replies already for this thread!

Snap but got it on at 18/1, come on :rtid:
-
Copps belying his age with some fantastic runs behind their defence.
-
Bogles hold up play is superb.
-
When we were 2 down, my son went to put a fiver on at 15/1, by the time he logged on, we pulled 2 back and the odds are at 6/4 now.
My son got a fiver on at 25-1!
-
Brilliant forty minutes by Rovers.
-
Great comeback, be we do look defensively weak!
-
We will win this.
-
One of the more entertaining half’s of football in the last few weeks
COYR
-
Hopefully we can push on in the 2nd half get 3 or 4 goals. Turn the goal difference back around but really I’d take a 3-2 win right now
-
They play very direct but it’s effective, I think we will get a few more chances this half thou
-
I was throwing things around after the first 5 minutes. Proud of the lads by half time. This is there for the taking. I suspect they won't have quite as high a back line in the 2nd half. We've shredded them numerous times and but for a flag happy lino could well be a couple of goals up.
Got to say, the ref is a tart though.

Yes I did, ....both very good goals, should be an interesting second 45, but need to pick up were we left off, .....this defence is filling nobody with confidence, fortunately we have some goal scorers coming back from hibernation....

Cant disagree with that.
-
Why should a team be allowed to take 40 seconds over every throw in the opposition half without being called for time wasting?
-
Bbc are crediting Sims with both assists.
-
Why should a team be allowed to take 40 seconds over every throw in the opposition half without being called for time wasting?
Weak officials, as ever.
-
If a player stood in position to take a throw for 20-30 seconds without releasing it, the ref would give the throw the other way. If he did it several times, he'd be booked. Why is it different when a player chooses to spend 20 seconds "drying" the ball? It's time wasting full stop.

Easy way to sort it start winning the game and watch players speed up then
-
Well it isnt raining where I am! No ball drying here....
-
Best 40 minutes we have played for a long time. We are still poor defensively but Horton looks to have the making of a good player.
-
Should we be playing Cameron John instead of Wright?

Exactly what you don't need with a fatty Evans team

Are there any decent referees in the EFL?

Answers on a postage stamp.
-
Ref might as well not be on the pitch for all the control he has on this game.
-
Referee is soft as they come. No control whatsoever and fatty Evans team can just do as they please
-
T-R on for Copps.
-
We were under the cosh there for a spell.
Good defending though.
-
Jones needs to help the defenders out more with the balls coming in to the box
-
Love our goalkeeper to come and catch one of these corners
-
Players keep blocking Jones.
-
That looked like a good pen shout for the pull on Lokilo.
-
Lokilo showed great strength there and tried to stay on his feet. Don’t understand why he would go down there without being pulled down.
-
Jackson’s long throws, the officials aren’t watching his feet on the line, there should have been a couple of foul throws.
-
Can't remember the last time I saw any player penalised for a foul throw
-
What a block by Wright.
-
Brilliant clearance with his foot by Wright
-
pheww
-
Great block by Wright to save a certain goal. Jones (not for the first time) completely glued to his line watching the action unfold in front of him.
-
It’s a ball in 6 yard box though should be keepers , needs sorting
-
Re the throws and gaining yards in all ways, it's one of those niggly issues like players standing over the ball of a free kick. For me it's so deliberate and destroys the flow of the game that a booking and more should be automatic.
-
Lol! I would be the most hated ref on the planet.....
BoG
-
Gillingham seem more happy with a draw than we do.
They are taking an age over every free kick and throw in.
-
Pretty disappointed with this half to be honest. We’ve defended well but barely threatened, failed to make the most of any momentum we’d built up with that comeback.
-
We look tired
-
The ref has been absolutely soft as shite.
-
Watch there be 2 added minutes
-
7 minutes. At least someone is aware of Fatty Evans' time-wasting antics.
-
Gills have entered the category of teams I hate. 'Oribble 'orrible team. Wish them the worst :thumbdown:

Rochdale beating Posh!

Amazing end to that game.
Most of the top teams drawing just now.
-
You’d take that after 4 mins, ref was a himer nota doubt about it
-
Full time and after the poor start a point is not to bad a result, but for that poor start could have been, maybe should have been much better. Overall a better performance by the team today. No game on Tuesday so hopefully get some rest into the players.
On a side issue and probably a little controversial I think Jones in goal needs a rest and it may be time to give Ellery a start at MKD on Saturday
Onwards and upwards
COYR
-

-
a bit disappointed we didn't go on and win . couldn't create much after Copps went off . Good defending of se pieces at the end though.
-
Well done to the team there. That was one of the most annoying, frustrating games I can remember.
Gillingham true to type just destroy football as a game and turn into a battle for throws, corners and headers. Cheating, niggly fouls, gaining 5 yards every throw.
I wouldn’t have lasted 10 minutes before I’d be shown red card.
-
Half decent referee would reduce their effectiveness by 50%
-
Ah well, didn’t ruin my birthday. Good point after that start
-
The second half was awful, from 2 very average sides.
-
About 90 per cent of those thrown-ins were foul throws. His foot over the line virtually every time. Officials gave us absolutely nothing all game so a point gained after that start.
-
The second half was awful, from 2 very average sides.
Two sides up around the playoffs,
That’s a good result for us, we don’t win often down there.
If we keep our players fit then I think we’ll maintain our playoff position

-
Shocking ref. How many times did their left back wrestle Bogle? Let Fatty Faulks’ team do what they wanted.
Anyway, I hope he enjoyed his first game. The t**t.
-
Agreed on putting Ellery back in goal on Tuesday. Jones just doesn’t command his area at all. In all honesty I just want us to go out and buy a number 1 in the summer and have done with this loaning 3/4 keepers throughout the season.
-

What was awful was they way the Gills tried to get throws ins all the time. No wonder we couldn't play, it's hard when the ball is off the pitch for so long!!

Would’ve defo took a point before the game and results elsewhere have helped aswell. Joe Wright was immense today hopefully kicks on now towards end of season. Was baffled as to why Copps came off so early with us now having a midweek game as when he went off we lost all our attacking threat.

Once we got back into the game the mood changed and most people got behind the team.
There won’t be many football fans who haven’t gone off on one then done a u turn later on.

He played the full 90 at Oxford so an hour today is probably the best we can hope from him if we dont want to burn him out. Full week rest now so should be good for a full 90 at MK Scum!

I wasn't criticising, Hound. Was saying many of the same things to my TV screen at the time! It's just amusing to read after the game as we were much better for the last 80 minutes, and when we go behind like that all sorts of reasons start being thrown about from the reasonable to the ridiculous.

I agree it's a decent point away from home, but that second half was average at best from both sides, be they in or around the playoffs or not. I noticed today we virtually abandoned the passing out from the back, don't know if that's because we don't have the personnel for it or Butler is changing the style.

unfortunately, Jones has had a go, but every time the ball came in, we just watched him glued to his line. Would Balcombe have punched the 2nd goal clear? Who knows, but at least he would have had half a chance..

agree with u there, been poor for a while now and doesn’t look interested at all. Doesn’t run and my defences as much as he did and doesnt look bothered when we don’t have the ball. Thought today might’ve been his kind of game witch the amount of space we had in midfield.
-
Plenty of time to rescue this, we just need some time on the ball and get one back before half time.
While you were all going through a meltdown and crying ‘Game over!’ ......
Just saying.....
-
Just seen the highlights. Their second goal came from a throw in that would have instantly been flagged years ago.
It was nowhere near legal.
-
Dead right Idler, unbelievable that throw was allowed to go unchecked, school kid throw.
Another one near the end. When the ref did send a player back a few yards, the long throw merchant came over to take it and went even further forward than the first one.
