Let's talk about the Barnsley game

[In the box]

Gibson was very good today. Contributed a lot to the win.

His performances have been frustrating for him as he knows he’s good enough , but luck plays its part . With Middleton as your shadow Gibson has often been taken off and vice versa when things haven’t ran for him . McCann seems to have finally found a set up that’s getting results and those players likes of Maxwell and McGrath who were ever present , have now been side lined , but Gibson as always kept taking  opportunities as well as chipping in with goals .

[In the box]

TLT pushed his timewasting way beyond reasonable after getting booked for it. Very lucky not to get a second yellow. It looked like one of our staff, Richardson? had a word with him on the pitch after the final whistle. Deffo needs to rein it in.

TLT should have been sent off, though i dont think it would have affected the result. When he moved the ball from one side to the other after already been booked, im literally screaming ffs kick it. Senior gave him a bollocking after it.

Cracking result though, to keep 2 clean sheets against 2 of the highest scoring teams in the division this week is impressive.

Pearson and Byrne look really good together.

TLT does what all keeper do throughout a game and though he did push it to a limit , I doubt any keeper has been booked twice for time waiting and he’s probably playing within the laws allowed .

Great team performance today Middleton looked knackered early on though, what a player Robbie Gotts has become for us

[Donnywolf]

Agree on T-LT. I think he was lucky to stay on.

Assessor must surely put Ref right , as again he showed that with Players on a Yellow he was not prepared to upgrade it to a Red

Result good though

To be honest, I thought he was unlucky to be booked so soon. I couldn't recall him doing too much time wasting before the booking. But yes, after the booking, he probably pushed it, although as others have said, has a keeper ever been sent off for two yellow cards for time wasting.

We could have done with that ref against Luton, blimey he'd have ended up sending 3-4 off.

Pissed me off when he checked to see the ref wasn’t looking before moving the ball to the other side. Does the pillock not realise there is 3 assistants as well that ARE looking? He should’ve been sent off for it.

Cracking performance otherwise though and same last Tuesday night. His concentration is much better now he knows he’s got genuine quality sat on the bench wanting his spot. That’s the key to him it looks.

[StocksArmy]

I liked that TLT got away with the bit of sh!thousery. End of the day he moved the ball across to the other side yet, it’s not as bad as pretending to be injured like Goodman has for 3 different clubs against us. The only difference is the ref can’t prove Goodman wasn’t injured so he can do nothing about it. TLT is back to being the keeper we know he was. When Clark came back from injury he should have kept his place IMO.

Also disagree on Gibson. Made a few good tackles but that’s all he did.

[Plumbster]

Gibson worked hard but is so frustrating- we don’t create many opportunities and when we do he gets the decision and execution right about one in ten times. I think confidence is everything with him, and even though he got great backing from the fans he wasn’t really on it in attack yesterday. Credit for battling away though when they had the ball.

I go MAD when seeing blatant time wasting even when it's Rovers doing it ( though I will be in a very small minority )

Keepers are excruciating to watch and TL-T really pushed his luck but he was blatant with his time wasting unlike the slyer ones

I've often gone barmy on here when professional Keepers 1k or more per game fail to stop a ball rolled back to them by a Ball Boy which of course is either not seen by Ref and Lino or seen but not acted on

Get more sly TLT lol

Seconded Wolfy. Absolutely definitely seconded. It's a loathsome aspect of the game these days.

I missed most of the second half due to being more entertained by the fella with the flag mucking about outside the stadium on the hill up to the coaches. Not sure if he'd been chucked out or was there for moral support, but had me chuckling. Bobbies made him take his flag down off the fence, so he's waving it at the crowd on the way back to the coach! I'm easily entertained!!

Ha ha I didn't notice him but it's all over social media today.
