    I honestly can’t see where our next points are coming from. If Taylor is still here at the end of January then I think we’ll be cut adrift with Shrewsbury by then.

    Matt Taylor has admitted he is concerned for his future after we dropped to 20th position in the league

    His post-match comments clearly indicate that he’s lost the dressing room. I think he’ll be gone by January.

    todays line up v Wrexham

    Griffiths, Moore, Wilson, Mola, Sinclair, Taylor, Martin, Conteh, Forbes, McCormick, Lindsay
    Subs
    Senior, Ward, Omochere, Sotiriou, Thomas, Hutchinson, Forde

    4th minute corner Wrexham which was cleared

    8th minute Palmer left unmarked but fires over the bar

    10th minute free kick Rovers in a good position a second free kick resulted in a corner for Rovers

    16th minute corner Wrexham which went out for a second corner and that was volleyed over by Brunt

    18th minute Lee scores Rovers 0 - 1 Wrexham

    20th minute Forbes down holding the back of his leg Daniel thinks it could be his hamstring

    26th minute Rovers in a brilliant attacking position according to Daniel but Moore then played the ball back to his Keeper to a chorus of Boos

    27th minute Mola looses the ball but managed to get back and stop the Wrexham attack

    21st minute Luke Thomas gets a big cheer as he replaces Forbes

    One way traffic yet again. It’s just excruciating following Rovers.

    29th minute Barnett narrowly wide, Daniel says he hopes it's a wakeup call for Rovers who are to negative

    32nd minute a tame header from McCormick which was on TARGET but saved easily by Howard

    33rd minute Elliott Lee down, Physio on but the player not looking comfortable

    35th minute Lee off Mullins on

    I wonder if there are some very rich Americans who would like to buy the Rovers maybe then we might get championship football

    FGR were terrible during Horseman’s brief reign. I can’t emphasise enough that we need a competent manager in and to relieve Horseman of his interim duties.

    He might be a Bristolian and an affable fellow but a football manager he is not.

    38th minute McClean hits the post after mistakes in defence

    Hope our owner has a good amount of money to be invested in the team, both FBs are making a lot of mistakes our attacking MF seems to be non existent and our strikers are living off scraps and can't find the net when they do get a chance

    5 minutes extra time to be played

    Another half gone with zero attempts on goal. It’s appalling.

    McCormick did have a header on target so it's one attempt on target Bluebaldee

    45+4 yellow card for Thomas followed a minute by Palmer

    HT Rovers 0 - 1 Wrexham Lincoln beating Reading in the other early KO by the same score

    BBC stats don’t even have that header recorded, it was that weak!

    79th minute Shaq Forde on Mola off

    According to sky we are in the 85th minute and nothing worth reporting has happened according to Daniel since Forde entering the match

    86th minute Promise Omochere scores for Rovers 1 - 1 Wrexham assisted by Luke Thomas

    We then had to survive another free kick which we did

    A shot on TARGET

    5 minutes extra time to be played will score, will we concede, or will we survive

    90+5 corner to Rovers

    FT Rovers 1 - 1 Wrexham

    Daniel reports a huge scuffle between Wilson and Fletcher, saying loads of players involved

    Rovers have been fined £3500.00 and Wrexham £6000.00

    That feels like a win, frankly, bearing in mind what’s going on at the club.

    Biggest attendance of the season too - 9,471.
