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.
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
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
