Bluebaldee What are you watching / listening to obviously not Rovers v Exeter Thought I read that Exeter hadn't won away since September
Dreadful first half. Two shots, nothing on target and we’re lucky to be just 1-0 down against a team that hasn’t won away in five months. Boos ringing around the Mem apparently. This Taylor character is taking us backwards.
Comeback Mangan all is forgiven Gordon on for Grant at HT Daniel thinks we are going with a back 4 Grant's injured Think we can forget the playoff's again this season, we need new FIT players and quickly Sonny Cox receiving treatment 55th minute subbed Rankie on in his place 56th minute McCormick off Brown on that's Rovers 3rd change, I thought that all substitutions had to be made in three stoppages 59th minute Marquis has the ball in the net flag raised offside Gibbons and Vale on Finley and Hunt off 77th minute Reece Cole yellow carded
Purrington down injured match delayed taken off on a stretcher 84th minute Hartridge on as his replacement About 2 minutes plus extra time to play cant see us saving this match 90+1 marquis has the ball in the net but the flag is raised again 8 minutes of extra time to be played 93rd minute Evans yellow carded 97th minute Wildschut is yellow carded
Andy Mangan had the backing of the players and they gave the job to Taylor getting their own back I wonder
We've been largely crap under Taylor and I think we were lucky when we beat Portsmouth and Bolton - we caught them on off days. His football is quite boring, slow and lacks spark. Now he's complaining that his players are physically and mentally tired which is a cop out as all clubs are in the same boat and we still have 19 games to play. I was "meh" when he was appointed and nothing I've seen has changed my opinion of him. Plus this AlSaeed gang don't seem to know what they're doing. No signings, and more importantly no scouts or head of football to identify transfer targets and get deals done, so I won't be holding my breath for any signings, despite the fact that we need them. All AlSaeed has done is cock up the signing of JCH - he doesn't seem to know very much about football. Something has to change pronto - our performances are getting steadily worse, we do not score any goals if Martin's not playing (and not enough goals if he is) and we're now just 8 points from the bottom four. It's another shambles.
Visiting my son and grandson over the weekend so I didn't get the result until this morning when I picked up the papers who was our GK for Saturdays match was it Jed ward

FT Exeter 0 - 1 good defensive performance leading to a win and a clean sheet MOM Ward or Aguilera. Ward for his saves Aguilera for his goal. Looks like we signed some decent players at the end of the window Newcastle 4 - 4 Luton in the 99th minute
That’s more like it! Sounds like it was a good away performance capped by a great striker by young Aguilera and some fine saves by Jed.
