    I’m afraid that it’s time for DC to sort this out or leave. Five defeats on the trot, including three at home, is unacceptable.

    Worth remembering he was 'relieved of his duties' last time he was here

    Don’t want to be pessimistic but with nine players unavailable I can’t see us getting anything from today’s fixture with such a threadbare squad.

    I really hope the lads prove me wrong but I have a horrible feeling that it’s going to be six on the trot in the league :emoticon-0184-tmi:

    DC said he wanted to work with a smaller squad, at times like this we are down to bare bones and need a larger squad.

    Cant find the Bristol live link again for the match commentary

    Scored by Isaac Heath assisted by Whalley

    Bristol live no longer seem cover the Rovers matches anymore

    Daniel and Malachi left and so did the coverage, just found the link Will Murray is the new man

    Just read that Lockyer was booked now it's been changed to Chang in the 23rd minute and followed by Forde in the 26th minute for a challenge on their keeper

    Yes, it appears that they’re not replacing the Rovers journalist so we have very little local press coverage of our team. Very disappointing from what used to be a decent local paper.

    No sub GK again hope they don't injure our keeper

    Wright their GK is down match delayed game resumed in the 28th minute

    Thought I read that we were looking at an ex MU striker who was a free agent but seems to have disappeared of the radar

    When we have lost this match we will be below Stanley on GD

    A corner to Rovers resulted in the ball falling to Chang whose shot was cleared off the line in the38th minute and a minute later Southam - Hales shot cleared the crossbar

    42nd minute a Heath shot blocked by Negru

    Accrington putting some strong challenges on Cavegn the lates resulting in a free kick 45th minute

    3 minutes of extra time to be played

    HT Accrington 1 - 0 Rovers

    Rovers had 58% possession in the first half but Heath's shot was the only shot on target

    HT change for Rovers Sotirou on Bilongo off

    48th minute Walton shoots over the bar

    DC has tweaked the line up Cavegn playing wide on the left with Sotiriou and Harrison in the middle

    As the table stands Rovers 3 points above the relegation zone in 20th position

    54th minute Cavegn puts on over the bar before the flag went up for off side

    56th minute a crucial block from Lockyer prevents a good Accrington chance

    Think we need 2 things in the next transfer window a larger squad and a couple of FIT STRIKERS who know where the net is

    Plymouth match did wonders for Conteh he has just got the equaliser in the 59th minute

    Accrington 1 - 1 Rovers

    62nd minute Ward yellow carded for a foul out on the right wing

    65th minute a long throw finds Forde but is cleared before he can shoot

    67th minute Luke Thomas on Harrison off

    Southam - Hales long throws causing problems for Accrington maybe a goal to come from one of them

    72nd minute Rawson scores Accrington 2 - 1 Rovers Murray saying against the run of play but if you strikers know where the net is they will score goals, momentum has changed back in Accrington's favour, Rovers looking tired

    77th minute Sinclair scores Accrington 3 - 1 Rovers

    78th minute Sparkes on replacing Mola

    79th minute Bauress on Grant of

    3-1 game over.

    When we appointed DC I honestly didn’t think we’d be in a relegation battle before the end of November.

    Maybe we should start looking for a replacement for him

    82nd minute Sotiriou shoots over from close range

    86th minute a pair of Sparkes set pieces cleared by Accrington running out of time again

    7 minutes added time to be played

    90+1 Lockyer heads Sparkes corner over the bar

    445 gas heads made todays trip to Accrington

    Accrington free kick 90 + 5 minutes think we are going to lose this one

    According to will Murray we have 2 minutes to score 2 goals to get a draw

    And it's all over now Accrington 3 - 1 Rovers 6th consecutive defeat in the league

    Down to 19th in the table, next up Cheltenham who are in 23rd place and the only team near the bottom of the league with a worse GD
