    Rovers now 2 points ahead of Burton, if they can hold or improve this lead we might just get the boost we need to stay in league , we are now out of the relegation zone

    42nd minute Hunt wins a corner for Rovers with the Gas Heads making most of the noise which Shaw took and Moore headed just wide

    1 minute extra time indicated but O'Connell down for Wrexham and the match is delayed

    O' Connell back on his feet and the Referee has blown for half time Wrexham 0 - 1 Rovers

    According to the BBC Sport live blog it's Taylor- Moore's first goal for Five and a half years, hope they are like Bristol busses, when one comes along it is usually followed by two more

    Back underway one change for Wrexham O'Connell off Scarr on

    49th minute free kick Rovers which is cleared

    50th minute Longman tried to break away but Thomas brought him down Yellowcard for Thomas

    51st minute A dangerous ball into the area finds Smith who heads it wide

    55th minute Dangerous ball into Rodriguez who misses but the last touch comes off a Wrexham player goal kick

    59th minute a great claim by Ward with Smith waiting at the back post, home fans appear to have woken up and are now cheering Wrexham on

    Todays attendance is 12740 with with 1267 being Gas Heads

    59th minute Mola and Forde on Thomas and O'Donkor off, Thomas already being booked might have made that happen

    62nd minute a deflection gives Rovers a corner

    64th minute Rodriguez and Barnett off McClean and Fletcher on

    65th minute Fletcher has the ball in the net but a push in the build rules it out

    +2 penalty shout for Rovers as Forde goes down not given

    FT Wrexham 1 - 1 Rovers

    followed the game through, thought we were unlucky again today, hoping this stands us us in good stead for Monday's match v Stevenage who lost 3 - 1 to Blackpool today

    Good battling performance against high flying Wrexham.
    Pity we can't do it against lower teams.

    Exactly this. Wrexham unable to beat us over 3 hours of football, yet we’ll probably lose at home to ruddy Stevenage.

    Todays line up v Stevenage

    Ward, Moore, Wilson, Sotiriou, Thomas, Sawyers, Taylor, O'Donkor, Butcher. Hunt, Shaw
    subs
    Hall, Sinclair, G Ward, Hutchinson, Swinkles, Forde, Lindsay

    Brandon O'Hanlan on the bench for Stevenage today, lets hope doesn't do a Collins

    Rovers have KO towards the South stand

    7th minute Thomas and Sotiriou fail to stop a cross which Ward then caught before it reached Reid

    The ball then went to Sawyers who put a good pass to Hunt from which Hunt crossed the ball and Sotiriou backheeled across goal but no one to put it in the net

    9th minute a Sotiriou shot from a tight angle deflected out for a corner which came to nothing

    Crawley 2up v Exeter

    12th minute Reid scores for Crawley, Rovers 0 - 1 Crawley

    70th minute Thomas fouled free kick on the left

    74th minute Thomas fouled by the corner flag free kick Rovers which Shaw takes short to an ynmarked Thomas who shot is off target

    Orient have equalised against Cambridge

    Todays attendance 9192 with 211 being away supporters

    with one foot in league 2 if we don't get an improvement in the squad I think this time next year we will have 1 foot in the national league

    About 10 minutes plus extra time to get a win cannot see it happening

    81st minute Sinclair to take a Rovers free kick which is on target but straight at their Keeper

    83rd minute a Shaw shot hits Sinclair who is in the way

    3 minutes extra time to be played fans already leaving

    FT Rovers 0 - 1 Stevenage, if Burton can win 1 of their three remaining games we will be relegated because I cannot see us beating Reading or Blackpool

    Absolutely useless shower of alleged footballers.

    That was our one opportunity to give ourselves a chance of beating the drop and we blew it. Against Stevenage ffs.

    So tediously predictable.

    I believe the squad needs a complete overhaul get out some of our old injury prone players and bring in some decent players who will have pride in wearing the blue and white quarters

    Quite a decent turnout seeing as we are but relegated and all for nothing, very few shots let alone on target and with Sotiriou probably out injured I cannot see where our goals are going to come from in the next couple of matches

    It was kids for a quid today. They overcharged.

    We won’t be getting many new young fans with a display like that. Awful.

    Hope he does, I don't think it's the manager that's at fault just that some of the players just do not seem interested, and of course losing Sotiriou to an injury didn't help matters

    I hope not. Nice enough fellow but inexperienced and out of his depth.

    I think we'll end up with Steve Evans. He was unusually complimentary about the club the last time he was here.

    Did you notice how Sawyers ran straight past Reid when he should have made some attempt to tackle him and probably would have put him off enough to prevent the goal.
