Today we were suppose to play Braintree at home at the Mem. However the game got cancelled due to Braintree being involved in the FA Trophy. Braintree's FA Trophy game got postponed today. So its ended up Rovers missing a game for no actual reason. We have dropped to 3rd and lost ground on Barnet. Also continuing to lose match fitness and of course losing momentum in the process of having no games to play. Barnet, Macclesfield (who are now 2nd) & Grimsby (who are 4 points behind us & have a game in hand on us), all won today. All gaining momentum and staying match fit. Our rivals, to me, have a big advantage over us. If our next game was at the Mem then I think we will be ok. But its away again and if we start slow, we could really struggle to break down the opposition like we did at Woking. What worries me a bit is how our players are taking this. Mansell has been on twitter after the results came in, saying the results were bad today... I hope the players dont get too negative. Let the fans do that. We need the players to stay focused, especially our most senior players such as Mansell.
Mansell should really be focusing on us and not what other teams are doing. We should (hopefully!) beat Dartford next week, if it was a more difficult game on paper I'd be more concerned.
