And 3-1

Dreadful performance.

Spoilt the weekend after the excitement of England's win last night

You’ve only got to look at our bench Jim. It’s not an eleven a side game anymore, your subs are crucial and I’d never even heard of most of ours !

Not mentally strong enough.. we clearly went into this game thinking ots  guaranteed 3 points.. bad day at the office Hopefully they will learn they cannot Underestimate anyone 

Not sure if you've watched the game, but we've largely bossed that match.

We simply don't have enough fit, quality, players to handle this fixture congestion. We have our starting RB playing on the LW ffs.

Only seen the result but typical rovers to do a shit team a favour when we have been doing so well 

Referee did.

[neophox]

The referee a real clown! Im fed up with this shit referees.

[jim mk2]

Our nice lads beaten by a load of alehouse footballers - again. A wake-up call really. You don't get in the playoffs with performances and results like that. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Now that, is a Rovers result if ever I saw one.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Just no consistency whatsoever..one step forward,two steps back.

[neophox]

It would had ended a win for us or a draw at least but terrible decision and JDT has all the right to be angry!

[martonrover]

Without question there are extenuating circumstances, but the theme of recent seasons has continued  - when there is a bit more riding on a game, we lose.

[DE.]

I know there will be a thousand excuses, some relatively valid, but that is a shocking result. Only Wednesday's second win of the entire season, their other being Rotherham. 

[CambridgeRover]

When the referee is so inept it goes against you but we need to give more

[neophox]

Moran and Brittain had disappointing cameos and we looked a bit shaky at the back.

[philipl]

Yes we were sloppy, Andrew Moran had an absolute nightmare game but that ref!!!

Ref 3 Rovers 1

It's a long, long season and it's a tough league. The numbers (and quality) just aren't there

[booth]

Rovers never really got going apart from a few bright moments, but even with that the scoreline massively flattered them. Sammie could have easily had a hat-trick on another day.

Playing 12 again.

[waynerovers]

Heard a couple celebrating after every sheff goal in Budapest sports bar so walked up and congratulated them on their victory. Turns out the guy is cousins with Kevin Davies. Small world 

[RTM08]

At the end of the day we lose far too many games to ever realistically challenge for promotion. Management are happy to let us tread water and eventually it will bite us. Utterly depressing.

[Polky]

The squad is so naive it’s painful. Every time we play a direct team, we’re so easy to play against. We can’t expect every team to let us knock the ball round and play nice.

Sheffield Wednesday players were knocking them around and we did nothing about it.

[Crozzy]

Must say as much as I like Moran and Brittain, I haven’t been a fan of them in the positions they played today. Brittain needs to be on the right as he’s not quick enough cutting in and slows everything down. Moran is good at cutting in and is effective on the left. 
Don’t get it.

 

Shows how shocking the ref was when JDT gets sent off. Calmest man on the planet. 
 

How the ref can’t see Hill being held for their 2nd goal. You see Patterson smiling and then celebrate when he’s let go of Hill and they’ve scored. Knew exactly what he was doing. 
 

Also when their player on a yellow gets done by Moran and pulls him back. Stone wall second yellow, ref shit his pants

A Travis today would had been welcome....

[Sweaty Gussets]

Oh well, chalk it up to a bad day.

Still 7th, 2 point from the play offs.

We'll smash Leeds 🙂

Yet another cunt as a wimp limp twister wanker referee. Fuck off  twat head.

Must be close to a record for profanity in 2 short yet pretty coherent sentences. I feel your pain sir.

[neophox]

All bottom three teams won, QPR (good one against Preston), Plymouth and Sheffield W.
