Wrexhams keeper is a perfect example of what’s below us 

When people slag Leo off, who hasn’t played well, they should look at this guy to know just how many leagues above both our keepers are

When you go down the football pyramid the standard of keeping shows the biggest skill gap

We're not playing in League Two though, people are judging him by Championship standards.

That double save by Pears was crucial. All playing well except Sigurdsson. He is not the same quality as the rest.

He was good after injury but something is hindering him maybe tactics...

[roverandout]

Biggest surprise tonight is James McLean isn't acting like a twat

[RevidgeBlue]

Scott Wharton's having a great game tonight imo his passing out from the back has been first class.

[pick32]

Didn’t realise Moran was playing

A bit slow and weak to start but responded  well to the goal (with thanks to their keeper)

That's literally the opposite of how it went? We started well, could have been 2 or 3 up before we let them score a sloppy goal from our end. Then we looked awful for ages, until about a minute before scoring. Although we did well since then, if that's the goal you meant we responded well to?

I’d like to see Siggy in a number 10 role. I personally don’t think he’s a winger and he certainly isn’t a LB.

Misses a yard of pace for this level and forces him inside.  Until we have an overlapping left back you're then left with a repetitive and easy issue to deal with as a full back

He isn't a winger. I don't know what he is, except he's not very good. 

[Adam C]

At least Sigurdsson is getting involved even if not everything is coming off. I can’t remember Moran doing anything in this match. Heard so many good things about him but I can’t see what all the fuss is about.

It was a double save because the first save was poor.  Great recovery mind. And we still need better. 

[neophox]

No subs

Sigurdsson playing LB or?

LWB. Think we are

                           Pears

               JRC.     Hyam.  Wharton

Dolan.  Garret.   Moran.  Tronstad.  Sigurdsson

              Gallagher.  Szmodics

352 with Dolan and Sigurdsson playing wing back is pretty punchy. But its working!

Give him time

[Paul Mellelieu]

Siggy playing a sort of left wing back.

He really should be able to do this at our level. Physically he has all he needs. Would love to see it click 

It will click, he’ll have a massive next season then leave for free

[B16Rover]

Also dare I say pears is a bit braver then he was before time out the team

Yes an absolute passenger.

Fair play to the pundits pointing out that Pears should've done better for their goal

I wouldn't even say that myself, and I'd have to be counted as a Pears critic. I'd say a better keeper like Kaminski might save it, probably about 30% of the time. Mostly from having a longer reach though.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Goal for Dolan please

[RTM08]

Dolan and JRC especially add an intensity we really struggle to replicate without them

[roverandout]

Ref is awful

[yankfan]

Garrett is really league 1/2 level. Should be out on loan 

[jim mk2]

Get Siggy off, please

[rob_of_the_rovers]

Plays advantage, we lose the ball two seconds later, doesn't bring it back

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Garrett should be off the pitch.
