Salford defender Mnoga has had his red card that was shown on Saturday rescinded by the disciplinary panel
 
Thought the ref was so inconsistent on Saturday that I would be surprised if he was ever allowed to take charge of a league match again, and his assistant on the Dribuild stand side was even worse, Harrison went into the corner by the corner flag and the defender nearly pulled his shirt of his back and Salford got the free kick
 
Today's line up v Walsall

Southwood, Sparkes, Kilgour, Thomas, Harrison, McEachran, Southam-Hales, Chang, Bilongo, Cavegn, Lopata
Subs
Senior, Moore, Mola, Sotiriou, Conteh, Issaka, Dewsbury.

2000 Gas heads at the Bescot stadium for today's game

Aden Flint in the Walsall team today

Luke Thomas has started the ball rolling for the Rovers and Cavegn rustles the side netting of the Walsall goal with the Rovers fans thinking he had scored jeers from the home supporters

Bilongo seems to be an energetic presence there today, has put in 2 or 3 good crosses and had a shot on goal so it's not just Harrison a Cavegn trying to score the goals to win the game

Malachi saying the Gas in control since the opener

39th minute Harrison goes down in the box no penalty just a yellow card for trouble

HT Walsall 0 - 1 Rovers must be a fairly decent game according to sky only 1 minute of extra time played

2nd half underway

50th minute a Lakin cross finds Saddler whose effort on goal is cleared off the lineby Lopata

54th minute Harrison commits a foul in the opposition box, wonder is a substitution might be happening soon as he has already been yellow carded

59th minute Bilongo and Thomas have switched wings Bilongo now on the right and Thomas on the left

64th minute Walsall now applying the pressure since HT Clarke their sub let fly from distance but it flew over

67th minute McEachran limps off replaced by Conteh

Todays attendance 8003 with a quarter being Gas Heads

70th minute Walsall score Walsall 1 - 1 Rovers scorer not yet named

Pressley the scorer after a cross by Harper

about 20 minutes for Rovers to get the winner

73rd minute Kanus lots one past Southwood but is saved by the offside flag

Looks like being a game of 2 halves and I don't like the way the 2nd half appears to be going

77th minute Bilongo off Sotiriou on

78th minute Pressley gets his 2nd of the match Walsall 2 - 1 Rovers

Walsall appeared to have dominated the 2nd half and probably deserve their lead

about 8 minutes of normal time remaining to get the equaliser

88th minute Issaka and Dewsbury on Harrison and Thomas off, not giving them much time to make a difference is he

10 minute extra time to be played

Lopata and Kilgour up top as Rovers search for the draw

90+6 minutes Adomah doing stepovers to waste time and is fouled by the corner flag

According to Sky it is the 90+9th minute

FT Walsall 2 - 1 Rovers

Predicted the right score just to the wrong team

A win for Cambridge sees Rovers drop a 2 places in the league after a win for MK DONS

A scuffle between the players after the final whistle, bit of after match entertainment???
