    38th minute Omochere shoots wide from about 8 yards out when he was unmarked

    40th minute Senior red carded for a foul when the player was through on goal even though McEachran was covering free kick just outside the area which hit the wall and fell to Naylor Chesterfield 1 - 0 Rovers in the 42nd minute

    Sounds like Cooks whinging worked if McEachran was covering Senior wasn't the last man, goal down and a man down this is going to be some win when we decide to try and score some goals

    4 minutes extra time as Rovers win a corner which their defender gets to first

    HT Chesterfield 1 - 0 Rovers

    Daniel Hargraves saying the red card looked on Senior

    2nd half restarted 2 substitutions Rovers Southam-Hales and Sotiriou on Harrison and Lopata off our new loan signing didn't last long did he

    58th minute Sparkes and Daley-Campbell both yellow carded

    54th minute corner to Rovers which came to nothing as two minutes later Southwood made a point blank save from Bonis before the flag went up for offside

    51st minute Sotiriou breaking away and is fouled by Naylor who is yellow carded kick was saved by Southwood

    Video of the red card incident. Sorry but the way the player went down is not consistent with the way the shirt was pulled. I'm telling you now that we will see this on our players every other game and a free kick won't be given for this. Yeah he was holding his shirt but not for him to fall down like he did. He conned the ref in my opinion.

    It was never a red card.

    I watched the 2nd half on sky plus. I missed the first half unfortunately. We did ok I thought in the 2nd half. Apparently we were a lot better in the 1st half too so we are making progression. 4 at the back is better for us. 2nd half we got back into the game. Then brought on Moore and went defensive with 5 at the back and we concede 2 goals.

    We absolutely need to play four at the back and we have to try to play on the front foot a bit more, to be fair it sounds like we were better against the Spirites but we absolutely must improve our game for the visit of Oldham on Tuesday.
