    Good response from Rovers as Hutchinson's shot is blocked by Brad Hills who then went down the other end only for Hunt to clear a shot off the line

    Reading, Charlton and Birmingham winning Crawley drawing

    63rd minute the crowd are getting behind rovers as they crank up the pressure

    68th minute triple gas changes pending make tat four changes Swinkels, Reindorf, Sinclair and Senior on Hutchinson, Hunt Sousa and Thomas off

    Posh have equalised v Charlton Rovers down to 20th and so have Shrewsbury

    77th minute Ward saves a cross putting it out for a corner that was goal bound

    83rd minute Sotiriou off Lindsay on Rovers final change

    Stockport haven't made a single change so far, could get tough if Rovers find a goal from somewhere

    88th minute Rovers corner

    90th minute Reindorf wins a free kick 4 minutes extra time to be played

    90+1 Swinkels scores for Rovers 1 - 1 Stockport a goal on his debut

    Ha! That’s the second time I’ve taken the dog for a walk before the final whistle and we equalised! I’m going to do it every time we go behind from now on!

    Well done Sil Swinkels and welcome to the Gas!

    Good win today. Normally after conceding, we would drop our heads, sit back and invite pressure and go on to lose the game. But we went up and got the winner. Happy days.

    Totally. Under Taylor we would not have won that game but Calderon has given us a new found sense of belief. He made the subs at the right time and they helped give us the impetus to grab all three points.

    Tonight line up v Wycombe

    Ward, Senior, Sousa, Wilson, Sinclair, Sotiriou, Thomas, Taylor, Martin, Hutchinson, Lindsay,
    Subs
    Roberts, Moore, Brown, Swinkels, Forde, Reindorf, Shaw

    Kofi Shaw is back from his loan with Yeovil and is on the bench for tonight's match as is Jevani Brown also sent back from his loan spell with Notts County

    KO has happened with Rovers Fans at their backs in the first half

    Butcher not available tonight because Wycombe are his parent club

    3rd minute Harvie who found the net in the reverse fixture puts in a dangerous cross cut out by Wilson

    6th minute Ward tips over a cross from Harvie for a corner down the Wycombe left

    Both sides appear to be playing the long ball game and Udoh and Wilson get in a tangle on one such ball with Wilson getting the free kick

    11th minute Wycombe corner which Martin clears but the ball came back into the box with no one getting a touch

    13th minute another corner to Wycombe which was wasted

    17th minute header from low back into the box bounces inches from the line but no one can get a touch to open the scoring, Wilson and Ward both down receiving treatment Wilson now back on his feet and late Ward was back up and able to continue, but Roberts was warming up in case

    20th minute free kick to Rovers after a handball decision against Udoh who was in a good position

    22nd minute a good save from a Humphries shot when ward pushes it out for a corner, the shot looked to be going in the bottom corner

    24th minute a Thomas cross finds the head of Sinclair but the keeper was equal to it and saved

    25th minute good feet from ward to skip past Wycombe forward before spreading a good pass to the left flank

    27th minute a good pass from Martin frees Sotiriou who whips a good cross in but Sinclair couldn't keep it going, Then Thomas is yellow carded for simulation in the Wycombe area

    32nd minute Thomas looses the ball on the edge Udoh kicks the ball further away from thegoal before the flag is raised for offside

    40th minute Scowen down receiving treatment with just over 5 minutes of normal time to play in this half

    38th minute a free kick swung in to Joe Low but the connection isn't good

    34th minute a foul by Senior leads to a handbags situation between Sotiriou and an unamed Wycombe player Ref gives both players a talking to

    42nd minute match restarts

    43rd minute a Senior cross towards Sinclair who s nudged out of the way by a defender, nudge not bad enough for a penalty to be awarded

    Calderon has told Swinkels to get warm

    5 minutes extra time to be played

    42nd minute a long ball for Martin behind the Wycombe defence but Martin is not the quickest and Low gets his body between ball and Martin to earn a free kick

    HT Wycombe 0 - 0 Rovers

    HT scores Crawley v Wigan and Wrexham v Orient both 1 - 1, Stevenage v Burton and Mansfield v Lincoln both 0 - 1 and Shrewsbury v Huddersfield and Wycombe v Rovers 0 - 0

    2nd half started Swinkels and Taylor Moore on Sinclair and Thomas off

    47th minute another save from Ward from a Wycombe header

    Moore playing in midfield

    Puzzling subs - take two attacking players off, replace them with two defenders and then we go one nil down.

    I am about to take the dog for a walk. But I’m not optimistic, frankly.

    I'm guessing Swinkels has come on at left back with Sousa moving to left wing position

    58th minute Wycombe double their lead Wycombe 2 - 0 Rovers, Udoh the scorer

    Daniel Carter doing the Bristol Live updates tonight not Daniel Hargraves

    62nd minute Lindsay off Reindorf on

    Our chairman is still saying we are looking at Championship football when we cannot create any good openings for our strikers

    65th minute another long ball for Martin to chase which he does but the ball is collected by their keeper

    67th minute Onyedinma and Back offMcleary and Kodua on

    68th minuteOduh has an opening but decides to put the ball in amongst the supporters instead that would have wrapped the game up for Wycombe at 3 - 0

    75th minute Sousa wins a corner which was wasted

    76th minute Forde replaces Sotiriou

    78th minute Leahy and Lowry on Simons and and Udoh off substitution greeted with Boos

    Shaw on Hutchinson off

    82nd minute Forde free kick cleared and then commits a foul and gets RED carded Rovers down to 10 men only on for about 6 minutes

    According to Daniel Carter with that red card our hopes have vanished, what hopes was he talking about

    87th minute Wycombe corner which was pushed out by Ward from a Lowry shot to taylor who missed his shot and was offside anyway

    7 minutes extra time to be played

    Sadly we’ve not laid a glove on them. Disappointing performance.

    With Wigan drawing tonight we have dropped 1 place now down to 18th, we desperately need a win at Northampton on Saturday or relegation will become even more of a reality

    with Crawley also drawing now just 6 points between us and the bottom 4

    Today's line up v Northampton

    Ward, Sousa, Wilson, Sinclair, Sotiriou, Thomas, Taylor, Martin, Hutchinson, Martin, Hunt
    Subs
    Roberts, Senior, Moore, Swinkels, Lindsay, Reindorf, Shaw

    Malachi Obrey doing the Bristol Live commentary today

    10th minute Corner for Rovers won by Thomas which from the lack of commentary comes to nothing

    About 15 minutes gone not a lot appears to be happening in the match judging by the lack of cemments from Malachi

    A few goals in the division, Blackpool have 2 while Cambridge and Stevenage have 1 and Barnsley won the early KO with the only goal of the match

    18th minute corner Northampton of a deflection that nearly went in as an OG

    Charlton have now scored against Exeter 1 - 0 Good news for us

    thought it was a poor match Malachi has just mentioned that both clubs have different manager since we met last August

    27th minute Sotiriou caught by a late boot after he had cleared the ball by his opponent, no caution given

    29th minute Sousa caught out of position and has to concede a corner from a cross

    32nd minute a poor touch from Hutchinson looses the ball with Sinclair free on his left

    38th minute Sousa jumped to win a header from a Ward punt and was wiped out in the process, game eventually stopped for him to receive treatment and he has now rejoined the game
    41st minute Ward saves a Pinnock Volley parrying it wide

    2 minutes extra time to be played

    45+1 Martin heads for goal, header lacked power and the keeper collected it easily

    HT Northampton 0 - 0 Rovers

    No creativity, no forward threat, I hope Northampton don't score because I fear another defeat if they do

    2nd half restarted no substitutions for either side

    55th minute a Martin backwards flicked head from a corner loops over the bar

    58th minute Shaw of Northampton responds with a shot over the bar, we need another goal

    60th minute Taylor ( Rovers ) yellow carded after conceding a foul in his own half from which Northampton score Dara Costelloe nodded it into the ned Malachi word, Northampton 1 - 1 Rovers
