Hard to judge by the commentary, but sounded unlucky not to come out of this one tonight with a point. Days like this where you really miss Matty Taylor.
Easter has had a cracking week for us but for a very experienced player to lose his head and get a straight red card like that is frustrating...
Both teams have moved up the table well over the last couple of weeks so should be high in confidence. Wilder will know a bit about us having come up against us last season. You've got to think coming away with a point would be a good result for us in a long distance midweek game against one of...
After a very even first half, it has to be said we dominated the second half and we're very worth the victory. This without our top goalscorer and possibly best player and without playing particularly well ourselves. Good win and first back to back wins this season. We had an odd start to the...
Swindon definitely dominated us in the first half of the first game, but i actually thought the tide changed slightly between half time and the game being called off.
What I found interesting is that I saw two pre match interviews with Swindon, the captain and I think possibly one of the...
Bloody hell, what a turn around. Sounded thoroughly deserved though, going off the commentary we were the substancially better side (although that can be misleading)
Hopefully gets the season moving now, jumped up well and in an acceptable position.
According to our commentary, Swindon came out on fire and made it pay during the first 5 minutes. Then we've dominated the next 40 but only caused pressure and not chances. This start of the season has been massively frustrating.
Something he has always done, and probably always will. In all fairness, with back to back promotions, the proof is in the pudding that he usually gets it right more often than not. But it's been more difficult this season with the added step up in quality in a short space of time. Some of the...
Bloody hell. DC signed Boateng and Colkett who have looked decent players but has reverted back to the midfield that got dominated against Swindon in the first game. I'm holding out hope that DC occasionally throws out an odd line up which comes good, but I'm actually thinking the worst for...
I still believe we are better than league position suggests (although it's getting harder to say that) but it's going to be extremely difficult for us to get a result in this one. I'd doubt we'd get battered though.
Massive 2 points dropped. Very irritating. Actually played well in the second half but Etheridge decided to have an absolute blinder. Even with all of his saves, his one in the first half was best, low and off the goal line. Getting no luck at the moment but we really need to find our feet soon...
Hadn't seen a thread for this one.
Time to get the season going for us. Oddest season beginning in reason memory. We've not been bad yet we're third bottom (albeit two games behind majority), we've had a game off for internationals, a game cancelled after 60 minutes via apocalyptic weather, a...
As if the initial blow of no refund and no discount on the rearranged fixture wasn't bad enough, now fans have only been given an option of the covered stand, so only the £25 tickets and not the £19 ticket option.
I wasn't expecting a free ticket, but just seems mad really. It seems to have put so many off already that surely they're going to have a highly policed game with the capacity of an early cup game. People in the covered away section will have paid £50 on tickets for one league 1 game.
What a ridiculous ruling by Swindon to charge full price again for the rearranged fixture, for both their own fans and ours. Surely that will massively hit the attendance? Already a lot of Rovers fans seriously reconsidering re-attending. What was one of the most looked forward fixtures has...
Damp is an understatement.
Right decision was made though, although I'd have preffered it to carry on, the ball just wasn't rolling and the damage from the downpour was already done.
As for the game, the less said about our first half performance the better, we were absolutely atrocious and...
We've been a lot better than our points tally suggests so far, but performances and good games in the cup don't count for anything at the end of the day, we need to start winning league games. I'm pretty confident however that we will do. We've signed a new keeper in Kelle Roos for the season...
Looking at the predicted Chelsea line ups I've seen bouncing around, we're going to get an absolute spanking tonight. Hopefully doesn't dampen the spirits for us 4,000 in attendance
