[Donnyboy]

Anyone got tickets in home end? I'm with couple of mates next to away section (trying to keep quiet)

Wheres the best place to park?

  This game is a serious pointer to just where we are at, a team that took us to pieces earlier in the season and showed other sides the type of game to play against us we found difficult to overcome for quite a while.
  The last few games with the incoming loan players have shown we are no longer that easy touch, combined with our younger players being better equipped  themselves I expect it to be a much tighter contest, if we play as well as we did at the weekend v MK Dons we have every chance of getting a result.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Agree with that Selby but I think any result is a bonus one really, as we've done the business in the current run. Once again, I think the lads can play another smart away performance breaking quickly, not worrying too much about possession stats etc. My only concern is the players having half an eye on Mondays game and falling short of the 100% commitment and concentration it will need.

Asda also close by and only a couple of quid.

  Chesters, although mate says don't go in the pub it is full of idiots plenty of bars on the short walk to the ground

[donnievic]

Hoping for a 0-1 away win with a penalty like we did 01/01/1990 Les Robinson penalty after the infamous Steve Adams ‘dive’.

hope it’s a lot warmer tonight though

[Jimmydee]

hope it’s a lot warmer tonight though.

I can remember going to Saltersgate and they called it off an hour before the kickoff because of a frozen pitch, we were all surprised because the weather was fair.

  Two bad goals to give away, Sterry and McGrath left for dead  for first and a poor headed clearance for the second in the area

TSL slipped and was on the ground before the lad shot.

[selby]

 He ran 30 yards and left the other two  trailing though Hound and was clean through on goal running away from them with the ball at his feet.
  Both were slow reacting and looked slow compared with the man carrying the ball chasing him when he got goal side, which he shouldn't do as you well know.

What a freaky , unlucky night .We love you Rovers

[scawsby steve]

After their 2 games against us, their fans must be wondering how on Earth we can be 10 points ahead of them in the table.

I agree with them.

I agree with them.

Some times games can be weird. Certainly both against them have been.

Just like forest losing 5-0 then winning by 7...

[ForsolongaRover]

If all you did was look at the stats (as opposed to the goals) you’d conclude Rovers would have been likely to have won comfortably. Yet if you read the BBC report the word “thrashed” is used and there is not a single word of credit there for Rovers.

It was, it seems, a case of failing to take opportunities as against facilitating the opposition in every chance they had. That has not normally happened this year, certainly not recently.

Perhaps if you are going to have bad fortune it is better that it comes in a single match rather than spread evenly. We have, after all, squeezed wins recently from matches when they have have not been entirely deserved.

[drfchound]

I thought that we played really well, especially in the first half, and didn’t deserve to ge behind. After their third and fourth goals it was inevitable that we would lose shape and be wide open at the back.
We will play at lot worse and win some games.

Agreed hound, a very accurate summary.

We were the better team in the first half and did not deserve to be 2-1 down. I honestly believed Moly’s goal just before half time would set us up for a win.

It wasn’t to be, but we didn’t deserve to lose by that margin.

A bad day at the office but we move on.

We have a ‘free hit’ on Monday night. Let’s enjoy ourselves and maybe cause an upset.

Up the Rovers.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I've only seen the highlights bit seems like a comedy of errors, plus a couple of good finishes from them when presented with gifts.

Just one of those that go from bad to worse but nothing to get too worried or worked up about. The players know they've made a mess of it and will have much better days to come.

[Pliskin]

I'd agree that we were no worse than them in general play, but at both ends of the pitch where it matters, we were comfortably second best.

Whatever the opposite of clinical is - that's us. We squander so many good positions with the ball due to lack of quality and decision making.

That's been the case all season, so I'm not expecting it to change. How many games have we won by a margin of more than 1 goal? Not many.

The real shocker was the defence. We've been quite solid recently, but tonight we were all over the place. Caught out far too many times.

[Pliskin]

Also it'd be nice if we could play Chesterfield one time without it being refereed by someone who probably goes to bed wearing Chesterfield pyjamas.

[richtherover]

Was certainly a painful watch. Reminded me of Halifax away mid 70's when they had 6 shots at goal and won 6-0.
P. S. Would love that Dobra in our side.
