    I am afraid we can only rely on there being 2 teams worse than us come the end of the season because CLEARLY we cannot rely on ourselves.

    Reading the WDP today ,DC said Sotiriou and Forde were not in the squad because he wanted more in training and if he didn't get they would not be in the team, so it sounds as if they are not putting in the effort at training, hear rumours last year about some players not putting the effort required when we were relegated

    Forde seems a bad one. Didn't have a good season last season. DC been patient with him while injured and this is how he replays him.

    Sots been a let down signing too. I had high hopes for him but he just hasn't done enough for the club. Rather have Tom Nichols back. He didn't score either but at least he worked hard and ran his socks off.

    They’ve both been really disappointing. The annoying thing is that they both have talent but it isn’t being realized at Rovers. Same as Promise.

    Jon Stead was a decent striker in his day, but god knows what he’s doing coaching our attackers - they couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo.

    Todays line up v Notts County

    Southwood, Sparkes, Mola, Ford, Thomas, Lockyer, Cotterill, Harrison, Southam - Hales, Chang, Negru
    Subs
    Young, McEachran, Conteh, Cavegn, Issaka, Lopata, Morton

    Suggested formation 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

    18th minute Robertson yellow carded for a cynical foul on Thomas, Cotterill free kick is flcked on by Mola and just misses the far corner

    24th minute Forde finds Thomas who lays it back for Mola who but is shot goes over the bar

    25th minute Harrison charges down Roos clearance and wins a corner which isn't cleared properly and the chance falls to Cotterill who smashes his shot against the post

    29th minute a Southam - hales cross is headed wide by Harrison, Will murray saying Rovera are all over County and he doesn't know how it is still 0 - 0
