He was good first half, disappeared without trace second half.

Bit of a show pony for me, looks flashy but it's mostly all window dressing. He's hardly a 27 goal machine like Szmodics who let's face it was the only thing that kept us up by the skin of our teeth last season.

Placed a cross on Gueye’s forehead about a yard out, a lot of through balls to direct chances and constantly retaining the ball against the odds approaching their defensive third. He’s head, shoulders, waist and heels above the rest of the squad. Effort was unexpectedly high, the way he’s been pitched to me by Norwich fans was as a mard arse but nothing approaching that tonight.

I think Rovers have played very well. A lot more enthusiasm than a few earlier games. But nothing seems to go our way. Very unlucky to lose this one. Their keeper had a blinder.

If we keep up this kind of effort surely we will start scoring. Cracking game to watch.

How is losing at home a cracking game to watch. I don't know if your comment is just sarcasm, as I was not there.

All this emotion pouring out but remember Rudy's wise words, we should be grateful...

I’m grateful he found Gueye. What a signing!

[neophox]

That Stoke side was terrible....except Johansson..... but its not a good sign if you cant beat this shit sides at home.

[Waggy76]

The owners will get their wish next May.. 

RELEGATION

Ohashi, Gueye and Leonard all missed absolute sitters.

Out of those three I'd keep Yuki and have him third choice to two more capable strikers.

[onlyonejackwalker]

We missed two absolute sitters and a myriad of half chances. Top save off Dolan. Enjoyed watching Cantwell.

He makes Browny look like Shearer.

Every single fucker involved in his signing should be sacked on the spot. 

[neophox]

Johanssons save on Dolan, Travis and Weimanns chances was astonishing good.

[rovers11]

I don't blame Eustace too much as what more could he do tonight. The attacking players at his disposal are shocking.

The blame falls squarely at the owners. We all know this club is finished until we get new owners.

[superniko]

£40m brought in and pennies spent - still can’t be long for the next finance release showing us a suspicious yearly -£20m hole and small gene pool lads telling us we should be grateful for Venkys and we’d be Bury without them etc etc.

Fuck off Venkys

@J*B Can we just have this as the site banner?

[Torgeir]

A draw away at Cardiff and a win at home to Pompey vital now. Don't think we'll get anything out of the other two matches vs. Boro and Leeds. Clear-cut penalty for me by the way.

Wanted Leonard on before Gueye, and even though they both missed sitters, Leonard has a nose for sniffing out chances that our other players don't. Where are the goals going to come from going forward? 

[RevidgeBlue]

Think people are exaggerating the Stoke keeper's performance.

He made a few good saves you'd hope your keeper would make, not much more than that.

[CambridgeRover]

11 points in 10!

That's his job. You don't stick humpty dumpty in goal just to be there. They are supposed to make good saves. Unless you're rovers of course. Our expectations of keepers are so low. We think a good save is world class.

Its start looking like JDT era....starts well then decline..... the mentality at the club is horrendous.... nothing will help except getting the inept owners out....

[Herbie6590]

Do your worst…POTM voting open now (it’s Cantwell again clearly but let’s rubber stamp it…)

I really want to see a comprehensive analysis of how Gueye contrived to miss that sitter as he did. It would make for great punditry.

The Dolan one & the clawed out header were particularly good…

He closed his eyes when heading the ball...the rest is history!

Fucking hell just seen we are only 4 points off the bottom 3, we are heading that way for sure 

Classic Championship stramash.... 3 points off sixth and four points off 22nd...

Ffs, the one from Dolan was world class.

He made some top draw saves. The shot from Dolan and Weimann's header in particular.
