    Been busy just catching up with the game

    Griffiths, Moore, Wilson, Mola, Ward, Omochere, Sotiriou, Thomas, Garrett, McCormick, Bilongo

    Subs
    Taylor, Sousa, Hutchinson, Shaw, Sinclair, O'Donkor, Forde

    11th minute Keillor-Dunne for Barnsley 1 - 0

    25th minute Rovers first corner

    Taylor said we want to play, wonder if he will change his mind when we lose

    Wonderful headline from Daniel Hargraves. The goal that separates the two sides at the moment

    States Rovers struggling to get in the penalty area, still lacking creativity and the we score

    37th minute Ruel Sotiriou for Rovers 1 - 1

    HT 1 - 1

    1 minute extra time

    76th minute Sousa puts an outstanding challenge but gets injured in the process still getting treatment

    78th minute Shaw, Sinclair and Shaq forde on Ward, Thomas and McCormick off

    Play has restarted just Daniel hasn't told us yet

    according to sky we are in the 84th minute

    86 minute Omochere has a shot blocked and in the 90th minute Sinclair puts one over the bar

    7 minutes extra time to be played

    Rovers corner and Griffiths has joined the attack which was cleared for a corner which was cleared for a corner which came to nothing

    FT Barnsley 2 - 1 Rovers

    We haven't lost ground because of the lack of games but a win would have put us into the playoff places

    subs

    No Daniel Hargraves link to the match so far and as the match has kicked off I guess there isn't going to be one, found a link via the Peterborough Telegraph

    6 minutes gone 0 - 0

    10th minute Poku Peterborough 1 - 0

    Like the Rovers giving this up as a bad job Telegraph hasn't been updated since the 6th minute

    2-0 now. We haven’t made a single attempt on goal. This lot and the manager are useless.

    WE have learned to fight for the team at last

    Not good news from the match Jed Steer the Posh keeper down injured, is able to continue but doesn't look comfortable.

    Forde replaced Sotirou during the stoppage

    86 minute great save by Steer deny's Forde the equaliser

    88th minute ball hooked off the line and out for a corner to Rovers which was put straight out of play

    10 minutes extra time to be played

    98th minute Wilson wins a corner90+10 free kick to Rovers Griffiths going forward for the free kick

    FT Peterborough 3 - 2

    I posted on a thread at the beginning of the season that we would be struggling to stay out of the relegation zone, we are now in 19th place 1 point ahead of Rotherham in 21st place and with a worse goal difference,

    A long season ahead I think and with Matt Taylor in charge league 2 beckons. The players look as if they don't know what they are supposed to be doing, we play out from the back so slowly that the opposition are in place before we get forward and the lack of creativity in midfield is appalling.

    Bring back Andy Mangan at least he managed to win more games than he lost

    Don't really know why they got rid of Mangan, he was doing a fairly good job and the players liked him.
    Much better option than Taylor.

    Today's result puts us in the relegation zone.
    Looking dire, surely Taylor has to go.

    Charlton Athletic on Tuesday 8th in the table, Taylor now has 20 defeats in 36 matches. If something doesn't happen soon we will have 1 foot in league 2 by Christmas

    79th minute Mitchell for Charlton Rovers 3 - 1 Charlton poor defending from a set piece led to the goal
