    Blackpool goal credited to Bilongo OG

    34th minute Rovers rocking after the goal, Embleton fires over the bar

    41st minute Lindsay yellow carded followed a minute later by Taylor Moore, Daniel Hargraves clearly not impressed by the man in the middle tonight

    45+1 Offiah yellow carded

    3 minutes extra time added

    45+3 corner to Rovers won by Forde headed off the line and the ref blows for HT

    Rovers 0 - 1 Blackpool

    Oh dear, another poor half.

    It’s so frustrating following Rovers, excruciatingly inconsistent.

    Let’s hope for a much better second 45.

    The way this ref is dishing out yellow cards I think we will be lucky to both finish with eleven men on the pitch

    We desperately need a goal scoring striker and a creative midfielder in the next transfer window

    2nd half started no substitutions mentioned

    47th minute Forde cross blocked before the attempt found McCormick who put his header over the bar

    52nd minute Handball by Wilson Evans score the resulting penalty Rovers 0 - 2 Blackpool

    Daniel Hargraves is calling for some substitutions but who does he take off, Forde, Hutchinson Lindsay and McCormick seem to be the only players mentioned trying to be constructive

    “We desperately need a goal scoring striker and a creative midfielder in the next transfer window”

    We spent a lot of money on Omochere, Forde, Sotiriou and Hutchinson in those positions and they haven’t delivered enough. Perhaps if the tactics changed they might be better?

    61st minute triple change Sinclair, O'Donker and Mola on Hutchinson, Martin and Bilongo off

    Omochere is injured Forde and Hutchinson are at least making an effort and Sotiriou doesn't get much of a look in

    67th minute Casey yellow carded inches away from being a penalty according to Daniel

    68 minutes gone and we haven’t managed a shot on target, at home against a team in terrible form. It’s just not good enough.

    67th minute Thomas and Ward on McCormick and Lindsay off

    70th minute Conteh joins the yellow card club, Daniel describes it as a really weird decision and the fans sing you don't know what you're doing

    about twenty minutes to score 2 goals, I guess the attendances will keep dropping with these sort of performances

    77th minute corner to Rovers won by Thomas

    Absolutely 100%, cast iron certainty we will get nothing from this game. They don’t seem to know what they’re doing. So annoying.

    I am convinced that Matt Taylor is not the right man to get Rovers up the table let alone promoted

    81st minute Husband yellow carded

    No comments from Daniel since the 77th minute reckon he has fallen asleep

    Our neighbours across the city are losing as well

    I think Rovers should try and get Steve Cooper the Leicester manager that was sacked after only getting a draw on Saturday

    Daniels woken up 6 minutes extra time to be played, if Blackpool score 1 more goal without reply I will get points for the exact score on CJS guess the score and time thread

    Collins scored again for Bolton tonight

    FT Rovers 0 - 2 Blackpool

    Goodnight Irene

    Disgraceful performance. No shots on target and we were lucky to only lose by two.

    The woeful attendance of 6,340 tells us all we need to know about what Gasheads think of Taylor’s turgid brand of football.

    I’m done with this chronic inconsistency and his dreadful management and boring football - Taylor out now!

    I think w only dropped 1 place looking at tonight's results and at least Saturdays match is a cup match so we won't make our goal difference to much worse

    Boo's rang out at the end of the match, how many more hints does our new owner need to realise we will not get promoted with Taylor in charge

    If we can't get Steve Cooper then can we go for Rob Edwards the Luton manager, both seem to know how to get the best out of players and go upwards in the table

    Sounds like it’s only a matter of time before Barnsley score.

    I can’t see us winning this in ET but if we can hold on, I fancy Griffiths facing penalties…
