    1 minute extra time to be played

    HT Rovers 1 - 0 Barnsley

    Can we cope with not chasing the game, final comment from Daniel Rovers desperately need a second to hold on

    Yes, I can’t see us holding on to a 1-0 lead against a team with Barnsley’s quality. But we’re clearly capable of scoring a second. I wouldn’t have said that under Taylor.

    59th minute free kick close to the edge of the penalty area about a foot outside for handball, free kick hit the wall with O'Donkor taking a huge hit

    60th minute Earl puts one over the bar from very close range

    Darrell got a good reception which if Barnsley should lose this game will be more than their players will get from Darrell I suspect

    66th minute a good save from Griffiths rebounds to which he puts wide

    67th minute Yellow card for Wilson the resulting free kick ends up in the net Rovers 2 - 1 Barnsley Earl the scorer. Not surprised they have scored after all the chances they have created, now we need to dig very deep to hold onto the points

    71st minute Sinclair and Hutchinson off Martin and Sotiriou on

    74th minute Griffiths saves from Humphrys

    76th minute O'Donkor off Mola on

    85th minute Sotiriou scores Rovers 3 - 1 Barnsley, Daniel's more confident than I am he says THAT WILL DO IT

    87th minute Senior and Lindsay on Thomas and Sawyers off

    6 minutes extra time to be played, surely even Rovers can hold out without conceding 2 for six minutes

    Brilliant - and hopefully that will boost Sotiriou’s confidence.

    Bolton and Crawley have both drawn equalised in their matches

    FT Rovers 3 - 1 Barnsley

    Rovers up to about 17th in the table, if the board can find him some money for a striker who can score goals a LB and a CH and possibly a creative mf we might seriously start to climb the table and get clear of the relegation places

    Sounded like a great performance - 100% effort from the lads against a strong team and that’s two wins on the spin and 7 points clear of the drop.

    UTG!

    I noticed that, Collins 1 - 0 Evans

    The match has kicked off with Rovers shooting towards their travelling supporters

    3rd minute Hungbo shot headed out for a corner which Griffiths punches away for a throw in

    bright start in the Rotherham v Burton as Rotherham score inside the first 3 minutes

    Sousa having problems with Hungbo the Wigan wide man as he concedes a free kick which is headed home by Carragher in the 6th minute, Wigan 1 - 0 Rovers

    9th minute Smith lets loose from range to see it trickle past the post, could have been the 2nd

    11th minute Sotiriou puts a shot well wide of the post, 12th minute O'Donkor caught offside from a Ward through ball, Senior then goes down as Wigan break and the ref stops the game for a head injury, medics called on but Senior gets up and is now back on the pitch, boos from the home supporters greeted the decision to stop the game

    19th minute a Sousa cross headed back towards Hutchinson but was quickly collected by Tickle the Wigan GK

    With Northampton, Stevenage both Drawing and Peterborough losing, if the scores stay the same we will stay in the same league position but the gap between us and the team above will be 4 points

    29th minute O'Donker draws a save from Tickle

    31st minute Hungbo yellow carded for diving with the home fans expecting a penalty

    33rd minute Rovers free kick from the deep which Hutchinson plays short to Sousa whose cross was blocked

    37th minute a good move by Rovers ends with O'Donkor touching the ball wide

    38th minute Aasgaard bends one which is cleared for a goal kick

    40th minute Wilson yellow carded for a late challenge on Taylor think hats Wilson 4th yellow of the season, he will be banned soon if this continues

    2 minutes extra time to be played

    Sawyers now yellow carded in extra time, that's the only time I have seen his name mentioned

    HT Wigan 1 - 0 Rovers

    See CJS will be getting the goal time points again with his 6th minute prediction

    Rovers restart the 2nd half no substitutions mentioned

    51st minute Senior well beaten by Wigan's Thomas whose cross is then cleared by Ward

    First Wigan change Smith on Hungbo off, Hungbo had been yellow carded earlier

    56th minute Senior argued he had been impeded when taking a throwin nothing given but he blew up for a free kick for a foul throw

    58th minute Thomas slid in for a tackle and missed but still yellow carded

    2 corners to Rovers before O'Donkor forces Tickle to make a save

    63rd minute Sinclair and Forde on Thomas and Sawyers off

    68th minute Hutchinson off Martin on

    69th minute Norburn off Mchugh on

    Mistake at the back and J smith scores Wigan 2 - 0 Rovers

    72nd minute Aasgaard hits the bar Daniel saying Rovers doing a great job of hitting the self destruct button

    Sousa and Ward off Mola and Lindsay on

    85th minute Daniel reckons Rovers have lost their mojo since the 2nd goal went in.

    Less than 5 minutes of normal time to be played, can't see where our next goal is coming from so no chance of any points today

    4 minutes of extra time to be played

    FT Wigan 2 - 0 Rovers goodnight Irene

    Lincoln 5 - 0 Peterborough, Wycombe 0 - 0 Northampton and Burton 4 - 2 Rotherham

    League position stays the same but the gap between us and Wigan is now 4 points

    We desperately need a couple of defenders who can DEFEND, at least 1 midfielder who can create good chances and a striker who can put the ball in the net

    next 2 games Charlton who are 10th table not updated and Peterborough who are 1 place and 1 point below us in the league
