Saod it before and i'll say it again... Steele is the worst number 1 we've ever had. 

 

Garbage.

Steele V Friedel...mmm

Late to respond, but I would've taken a point prior to the game any day of the week. However, to play against 10 men for 70 minutes and only come away with a draw is underwhelming to say the least.

Steele vs Fettis. Can't see Steele winning that one either.

Because it's what I feel.  £150 winnings will buy some nice wine.  Why not?

Get the winnings then buy the wine, you seem to try to do it the other way around !

Definitely a missed opportunity today, especially considering results around us, but can't complain with picking up a point away at Norwich. 

Doing the same at in-form Fulham, against 11 men, will be an even bigger ask but having said that today sounded like a couple of individual errors cost us so you can never rule anything out...

We are entering a difficult spell of fixtures ahead of us so three points against Preston will be crucial in my opinion.

I am pleased with the point today.

We would have struggled under the likes of Bowyer, Lambert and Coyle.

Well done Rovers and TM.....5 unbeaten is what we could only dream about months ago.  Take the positives.

Make your mind up!

You could have given me that £25 you chucked away. I'd have bought several bottles of red with that. I'm not as choosy as you I'd be ok with a four £6 bottles and a curly wurly.

You take the rough with the smooth.

It's a bit of fun on match day.  Don't bet what I can't afford to lose and the winnings get ploughed into treats !

Curly Wurly. I bet those have shrunk in size along with Wagon Wheels and Rovers home support.

My mind's made up.

Can't see a win in the next four fixtures so certainly wont be backing us to win.  Only bet today at half time as I thought it was set up for us to go on and win, and we should have !

Good result regardless as to other results around us. We need not to worry about others our destiny is very much in our own hands. Wigan for me are Gone and Forest are falling pretty fast. We have a game in hand and we have everything to gain. A draw at Fulham is vital with a win vs PReston this weekend. More importantly we are still unbeaten under Mowbray, which builds confidence and slowly gives us the platform to steer safe of relegation. 

Just looked at the table, if only that was true. Back in the thick of it with Wolves, Burton and Bristol winning today.

Wish we had the points instead of a game in hand as I can't see us getting anything against Fulham.

After being 2-1 up against ten men with 10 minutes to go it's 2 vital points lost and where  back in the relegation zone. The manner  the two goals were conceded was atrocious. With other teams winning this really was a very poor result. On the plus side I've got every confidence we can get out of this which was impossible to believe when that p.e teacher was here.  Round um up TM and go again

 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We won't be out of it until the death now. You can thank Coyle for that. Plenty of winnable games to come after Tuesday. We need to keep our nerve. I would have taken a point at 3.00 without a doubt and we got one.

Terrible defending for both goals, especially the 2nd, school boy stuff, but Steele should have cut the cross out no doubt about that Tom

Yeah, thankfully he contributed massively against Wigan but his all round play leaves a lot to be desired

Would it have been a fine curly wurly?

Yes.

[bluefred]

Don't forget anyone can beat anyone in this league ,Fulham will be very cautious of what we may do 

[bluefred]

We beat Newcastle twice even with the chimp at the helm.

Absolute No ! .... let hope he gets deported back to Portugal  in the summer.

Hope that answers your question.

Good point. Expected a loss today, it was a bad time to play them after sacking their manager yesterday. 

Disappointing to go back into the bottom three but always likely today with the teams around us playing each other.

We seem like a completely different outfit under Mowbray, very tough to beat. Real belief we may avoid the drop

They scored TWO goals with Only ten men for at least 70 mins!

[gumboots]

They scored the first with 11 men

Yeah I just couldn't be bothered editing again teach !

[had.e.nuff]

I would have took a point before kick off but should have won and I did not like the new tie either.
