From playoff contenders to dead rubber in 7 games.

Impressive.

Get shot of Pears in net and see if Toth can resemble anything close to a goalkeeper in the last few games.

We'll be knackered after that second half display last night.

Luton buoyed from there 91st minute equaliser.

Luton 2 Rovers 0, game over by 30th minute. 

[sharpysharps86]

Terrible record at Luton, and I don't see it changing here. They have shown some courage in recent weeks, and in front of a home crowd I suspect they'll want it more than a half-hearted Rovers team.

I'll go 3-1 Luton. Ohashi with Rovers goal.

Counting down the games till the season ends.

[JHRover]

So after Derby, Stoke, Portsmouth and Cardiff all being handed a 3 point boost by Rovers in their survival bids next up it is Luton's turn to cash in their bonus.

A tough place at the best of times, a must-win game for them, a dead-rubber for Rovers, and a dismal record against those down in the bottom third, I can't see any other outcome than a comfortable win for them.

We showed spirit to get back into it second half last night but this is one tough place to go and they desperately need the points. 
 

Luton 1 1 rovers they always concede 

[Michael123458]

Go and win it rovers ffs 😣

[roverandout]

I can see us getting 2 points from our next 5 fixtures

That's a bit optimistic

I am afraid I also said two pts, before M’bro. 
That gives us one more, 

1-1.

Thanks for this. All it does is reinforce the knowledge of how far we have fallen.

[WacoRover]

We’re sitting 12th, with 53 pts, below Norwich on goal difference, & above owls. Barring a miraculous finish, I could see them pass us, as well as Swans, QPR, & Preston, Rovers finish 16th.

We were 5th in playoff places, when Eustace leaves; interim mgr wins two out of three, then we hire a new mgr, who is yet to win, in 6 tries. Somehow, all I can picture is a clown, running around a room, squirting people with seltzer, saying, “nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!” 🤡

Nah, he’s one of those sad clowns 

 

Good to see a high volume of traffic on this thread.

Everyone clearly pumped up for this game 😂

[Mattyblue]

We’ve sold this out the last couple of times, so a poster the other week was hoping he had a chance for a ticket… yeah, no problem there this time.

[Tomphil2]

Don't think it's far off a sell out to be fair and anything over 700 is another sterling effort.

[Mattyblue]

Not knocking it, been excellent away followings all season. But it was never going to be a mad scramble this time like previous years.

[philipl]

We owe it to John Eustace to win this one.

[roversfan99]

If we were playing Derby now instead of when we did, I wonder if anyone would bother with the stupid inflatable snakes? 

[Mattyblue]

Amazing how quickly the tide has turned, fundamentally nothing has changed at the club in a month, yet the likes of Suhail wasn’t even on the radar of the fanbase in those long distant days.

All hail General Glen.

As much as i rate him and didn't want him to leave we owe him nowt all this team owes is the travelling hardcore.

No reason to play Pears now. We know what to expect from him and he should not be our first choice keeper next season. Also his performances have been so poor that he deserves to be dropped.  Play Toth for the remainder of the season and see if there's any reason he should be at the club at all.

Toth should have been given the jersey months ago.

He's going to make mistakes for certain but there is no way that he can be as bad as Pears.
