It's disgusting how Stoke have played.

Time wasting at home in the first half. 10 men behind the ball at home.

Couldn't pay me to watch this shit every week. 

But 5hey get results. Something our Tony doesnt.

Fair play to them if that's how they want to set themselves up to play.

It's not entertaining or enjoyable to watch at all. 

True  - but they'll put the points in the bag and move towards the play offs. 

We on the other hand...

[AdamRochina]

Mowbray isnt going anywhere anytime soon so please dont start day dreaming about bilic or hughes ect,  owners probably dont even know we are playing today

[Stuart]

Rovers taking the corner before Kaminski has got into the box just about sums us up. We are like strangers.

Well, Bilic or the Cowley Bothers, who would we prefer?

Doesn't matter, Venkys wouldn't appoint either.

Stoke aren’t easy on the eye that’s for sure but one way of looking at it is take the lead then put in a defensive shift. Take all 3 points. Perhaps if we could defend like Stoke we’d be 6th and not 11th.

As I said, I wouldn't watch it every week. 

I know to a lot of fans the bottom line is all that matters. That's their prerogative. I'm here to be entertained - if my team sets up like Stoke have then the chances are I'm not going to enjoy watching them play.

Game over

were going nowhere

[G Somerset Rover]

3 defeats in 4. 1 win in 5. 
Still no victories against a top half team.

Sick and tired of the same sh*t under Mowbray. Please, just walk.

[Bigdoggsteel]

When you concede soft goals, you can't have any complaints 

Fair play to Stoke. 3 points is 3 points 

[CambridgeRover]

Going nowhere, so many players aren't up to the standard

Lenihan and Gallagher never want to see them again.

Tactically outclassed 

[Doogs]

Season over with now. Another plodding job done by Tony...Not long before our better players get fed up and move on...Mark my words Tony has to go or he will take us back down. God knows how many fans will turn up if he is still in charge next season.

[Fraserkirky]

Punchless, no real movement off the ball. Absolutely brutal. Could have played till midnight and not scored

[yellowsubmarine]

We may have lost the game but we beat Stoke on performance. It's really what matters to our manager.

We go again!

[booth]

Poor result that against a very mediocre side.

[Cherry Blue]

2 shots on target Mr Mowbray. What on earth do you do at training. 

[neophox]

We cant dominate games and win. THATS A FACT.

[DE.]

Only 5 points off the playoffs lads. Can't beat a team above us or sustain a consistent run of form, but it's only 5 points. Once Dack comes back from over a year out with a serious injury and Trav returns from months out we'll be unstoppable.

 

[darrenrover]

Lost to a poor team. Possession counts for nowt.

3 defeats in the last 4, nothing more to be said. Slow build?  Feck off Tony!

Totally pissed off!!

[rovers11]

What an awful, awful side Stoke are. They crossed the halfway line once and scored. End of.

We will finish above them at the end of the season. No doubts about that  

[Tom]

Pretty pathetic, again.

[TheRoversReturn]

Time's up for Mowbray. This squad should be top six by the end of the season, we don't have chance under Tony. His mismanagement of Gallagher is shocking, ruining him by asking him to be a winger for which he is eminently unsuitable. Nothing new, a solid, competent, popular player in Elliot Bennett was made into a whipping boy by forcing him into being a right back. 

That's three out of four defeats since we got ourselves back into the playoff picture. Groundhog day. We had, what, a couple of chances in this game we "dominated"? Think one team was comfortable to let us pass it sideways and backwards...

Solid performance by Stoke. 

[Elvis Biro]

I was one goal away from a winner on a Both Teams Score accumulator. Guess who let me down....

[Hasta]

I said it a couple,of games ago, I'll say it again.

Tippy tappy shite with no plan B.
