That was a mistake, luckily he got away with it. The criticism I mean is summed up with Derbys second goal. Normal reaction to it, as it was around us last night, was ffs, who was meant to be marking him. Not one person thought to criticise Pears' positioning. You get on here and has anyone actually criticised the marking? It sums it up perfectly, the reaction isn't "normal". Not one person watching any other team concede that goal instantly blames the keeper. -

I think everyone realises he isn't quite good enough, who does? He definitely isn't as bad as some set out so vehemently to prove, game after game,it's getting to hysterical levels. With decent scouting and modest investment, I'm sure we'll end up with a more competent keeper,but if anyone thinks we'll end up with one who doesn't "cost us points", I'm afraid they're in for disappointment. -

We've been here before and it didn't end well did it? Sounds like you took a notepad with you tonight, your problem is that you scrutinise Pears to such detail, that any keeper who comes in doesn't stand a chance living up to those standards. We will get another keeper, I'm sure we can better Pears if Gestede does his homework. Hopefully it isn't a careful what you wish for moment , like Wahlstedt. -

That's because you hadn't already made your mind up before we kicked off. -

Enjoyed that, safe to say Eustace got his subs spot on, have 3 subs ever scored before? His job should be safe for a good while after winning at home,it meant so much to so many. Yuki looks really promising, some nice play in the build up for Szmods goal, and what a finish, topped only by Carter's sublime assist for the wiley Weimann. -

It's a new season, we got enough points to stay up, who cares where we got them? -

It could have been worse, it's probably the only position where we could sell a player, not replace him, yet actually improve the squad. -

Yeah, I probably should have added the words, fitness permitting. -

We did, although it was the 3 clean sheets from the last 4 games which in the end kept us up. I think we can all agree, with what is going on at the moment, Eustace will have done a sterling job if he can keep us clear of trouble for this season. -

To be fair, that's an excellent point just raised by Exiled Rover. -

I suppose it depends if you think we were going down under Tomasson,and how much damage he'd left behind. I'd say that we were only going in one direction playing Tomasson's way. Eustace came in fairly late in the day and had to change the style completely. In the end, that style kept us up. -

Tronstad would seem the obvious choice for captain if he fancies it, if not him then Hedges, both lead by example. -

I'd have Szmodics on the bench tomorrow night, about time this saga was brought to a close. Assuming he's been training, he could do 20 minutes tomorrow, start building him up and send a message to Ipswich. I don't get people siding with Ipswich or Szmodics, he's our player and needs to be playing if he isn't leaving. What's best for Rovers is the only thing that matters. -

I don't particularly rate Pears, but there's also no way he's as bad as some make out, and his age means there's time to improve . It's the usual situation, point out the mistakes but don't acknowledge any pluses. The Wednesday game was a howler at a crucial time, but Pears kept clean sheets in 3 of the last 4 against Southampton, Leeds and Leicester. It would be a different situation if Eustace had to choose a keeper to start the new season, but we're not in that position. For me, if Pears and the team start well, he stays in. -

If we're changing keepers every time they cock up, they're going to be in and out like a fiddler's elbow. -

That's how I see it. Pears will play on Friday and if he does well should keep his place there on in. -
