    It's very, very early to start worrying I reckon!

    There are plenty of successful promoted teams who make slow starts. I think we'll have a better idea of where we stand after 10 games. We have a strong squad for the league and a decent manager, I believe that our first win will spark a good run. I was really surprised when we had 9.2k down the Mem for the Harrogate game which shows Gasheads will get behind the team in L2 - as soon as we start winning we'll get consistently good numbers down there which will make it a difficult place for teams to come.

    Let's give DC and the team some time and I think we'll come good. UTG!

    I feel for the fans making the long journey. Apparently the traffic on the motorway up north has been a horror show!

    This from Dan Hargraves...

    "Have just had word that two Rovers' supporters coaches won't make it here until at least half-time."

    Lets hope the team shows up before half time

    2nd minute A Sparkes is cleared by Fleetwood

    4th minute Omochere create space and the ball goes out for a corner which comes to nothing

    10th minute goes for the shot but the ref blows for a dive with Rovers asking for a penalty

    11th minute corner Fleetwood which appears to come to nothing

    15th minute Conteh cuts out a dangerous cross aimed at the backpost

    16th minute A Hutchinson shot is blocked, Daniel says he should have passed

    19th minute Kilgour gets an effort on target easily stopped by Lynch

    23rd minute Omochere heads over from a good Sparkes cross

    25th minute Hutchinson tries a shot just outside the area but it goes well wide

    Senior went down in the box earlier in the game. Sounded like a clear penalty going by the commentators. But ref gave Fleetwood the free kick instead!

    Should be interesting if DC's Rovers know how to get back into the game after conceding first because for a long time now, we've forgotten how.

    Last week... Vs Harrogate, 2 shots on target against us, 1 goal scored.
    Today... Vs Fleetwood, 2 shots on target against us, 2 goals scored.

    So, 4 shots on target against us and 3 goals scored.

    Not impressed by playing 3 at the back we concede goals far to easily, leaky defence very little creativity and strikers that can't put the ball in the net, it's not money we need but a miracle

    42nd minute Omochere collects the first yellow of the match

    DC has some serious decisions to make we are only allowed 5 subs

    I've had enough and it's not even half time. I'll take a look at the full times later with the hope something happens.

    Laters.

    45th minute Conteh drives one just wide

    HT Fleetwood 2 - 0 Rovers

    2nd half re started Sotiriou on Moore off

    Shower of ****e. I’m at my step dad’s 80th and I’m glad I’m not at the game. Awful travelling 100s of miles to watch the Rovers put on yet another toothless display.
