    Shouldn't be losing to anyone at home by that scoreline.

    The wheels have come off for DC. Even when we were on the unbeaten run we never looked truly convincing and now we’re just atrocious - as bad as last season. There’s no fight, no creativity, the players look unfit and disinterested and the tactics are poor. I can’t believe we’re this bad yet again but here we are.

    Can’t blame this on the usual suspects - Moore, Mola etc - this malaise affects the entire squad. Is Clarke the right man to take us forward? I’m beginning to think not. Owners invisible yet again - nothing from them at all.

    Getting mighty pissed off with this.

    Can't find any updates on todays match on Bristol live, looking at the scores on sky it is still 0 - 0

    Post by Daniel Carter stating there would be live updates Preceded by a post from Pete Gavan at 14, 02 saying live updates but not a word from either up till now

    According to GB News Tom Lockyer is starting for Rovers today

    30th minute Luke Thomas replaces the injures Promise Omochere substitution made while Shaq Forde was being treated for an injury

    All going Rovers way today 33rd minute as Jack Sparkes is Red carded for violent conduct, 34th minute Penalty awarded to Crawley as we are now in the 36th minute I assume it was missed

    36th minute Luke Southwood getting treatment for an injury but play has now resumed

    Sparkes sent off and Omochere injured yet again. Another calamity in the making. I’m beginning to think we’re cursed.

    At least they missed the penalty that Sparkes conceded. Loft crashed it against the post according to the BBC.

    1-0 on the stroke of half time - own goal by Kilgour. It never rains it pours.

    We cant seem to do anything the easy way can we

    Dewsbury on for Forde at HT substitution and was yellow carded in the 48th minute

    Louie down injured but now fit to continue

    52nd minute Forster nets for Crawley 2 - 0 Rovers who is then caught offside in the 53rd minute

    Notice the Cards only seem to be shown in Rovers direction

    57th minute Negru and Bilongo on Lockyer and Thomas off

    69th minute Malone scores Crawley 3 - 0 Rovers

    DC got us out of the conference/ national league at the first attempt last time wonder if he can do it again because with these type of performances that's where we are headed

    78th minute Kyle Scott picks up Crawley's first yellow card

    78th minute McEachran replaces Cotterill

    84th minute Cavegn has a shot on target saved

    86th minute Flower scores Crawley 4 - 0 Rovers

    That's 12 goals conceded in three matches with only 1 being scored, has DC upset some of the players and they are not trying or are the player brought in not good enough

    7 minutes of extra time to be played

    95th minute Southwood saves from Dixon

    FT Crawley Town 4 - 0 Bristol Rovers

    Crawley have done their hopes of staying in the league no harm at all

    Must be totally demoralising shipping 4 goals every week
    DC doesn't seem to have any answers at the moment

    No Bristol Live link to the Rovers match again this week that I can find

    Bristol Live now only cover the City matches as far as I can see, they are are losing 1 - 0 to Stoke

    21st minute Tom Lockyer down injured

    Game restarted Lockyer still on the pitch playing

    Only got the Sky printed commentary think I will give up

    89th minute Bromley 1 - 2 Rovers

    Scorers Cavegn76th minute and Cotterill 79th minute and Omulu 83rd minute for Bromley

    11 minutes extra time to be played 2 minutes of the eleven played

    Todays attendance 2500

    Lets hope Bromley don't score in the last couple of minutes or ther will be extra time no replays anymore

    Luke Southwood yellow carded in the 12th minute of the 11 minutes of extra time

    I didn’t think we’d get anything from this game so it was good to see that we defended better on this occasion. Hopefully we can take this result and build on it and hopefully Cavegn can stay fit as Forde and Sotiriou aren’t exactly goal machines at the moment.

    I followed along here and there in twitter and when it went 2-2, I didn't bother checking for a while so didn't know the goal was disallowed for offside <laugh>
