Why did he bring on Forshaw for Hedges?

Luton are the worst team I have seen all year

Rovers are the worst team I've seen all year. Genuinely - a few of the performances under the new manager have been horrific.

To provide defensive solidity. I don't think he's given the ball away yet - he's not the player he once was, but he's done ok at covering and laying off simple passes to teammates.

Already figured out the owners are shite and trying to force his exit…my guess

Every 50/50 he loses, he let's players walk past him, defending in his own box he's strolling about. He's completely past it, if he ever had it.

[Exiled_Rover]

Where the fuck has he got 9 minutes from?!

[Laurence]

8 subs in the second half

You greedy sod, Dolan.

[Blow-in]

Toth is clueless.

University of Hedges.

[StHelensRover]

Smashed off the woodwork twice we have gotten away with this!

[yankfan]

11 min. Let’s just play another half, ‘eh?

Just square that to the unmarked Gueye for an easy assist. He's a brain dead player.

Fabulous win...

[CambridgeRover]

I would bet my life savings on luton going down, 

Great win for us though!!

Bittersweet about this, won't make playoffs, but people forget the issues when we win.

 

Still though, never vouch for our team to lose 

Same old, same old. Start picking up the points again when it's too late. The predictability of this sequence of events every season we're anywhere near the playoffs is absolutely pathetic. I would say laughable but there's nothing funny about it. 

I long for the day when we have owners that can give a decent manager a team that has the depth, and the courage, to last an entire season and thrive under pressure rather than collapsing under it. One day. 

In fairness to the bottlers it's not like they were good today. Luton are just shit. Couldn't even beat us with the refs help. It's hard to congratulate the lads on a battling win after they threw away countless points over the past couple of months and totally tanked our playoff hopes.

That aside, delighted to get the three points. Allez les annual futile post-collapse rally.

Yeah, absolute joke. 9 minutes was far too much and then he added another 2 for the Toth injury. 

Only blew up when Toth made a save to end another attack. Was desperate for them to tie it up. Is he a Luton fan by any chance?

[WacoRover]

Yes!!!

I will gripe about our leadership tomorrow, I will celebrate our 10-man win today 🎉

Hard fought win.

I've got palpitations.
