For all the discussions since Saturday, we still have escape in our own hands BUT, after tomorrow this may no longer be the case. Huge night for us.
We MUST beat Swindon and then hopefully, finally, put some sort of run together.
Will get behind them one more time on iFollow, but if we fail again, then we are done and I'm not ruining another weekend watching. Will prepare for some away trips in league 2!
Let's hope JB can get them up for this and find a formation that can deliver. I worry he is losing belief himself.

Without wanting to sound defeatist, I am feeling very defeatist about our situation right now! I would be very surprised if we stay up. I have no confidence that we'll beat Swindon, and then we have Sunderland and Ipswich. Only a win against Swindon will do, and even then I don't think we'll stay up. But I don't think we'll even beat Swindon. Of course, as ever, I would be delighted if the team prove me wrong. |

For this season of 'everything that can go wrong will go wrong,' it feels pretty certain that we won't beat Swindon and the result will depend on someone who wouldn't have been playing had the originally scheduled match gone ahead.

I’m not sure these players are up for it to be honest. I am fully expecting us to huff and puff for 90mins while Swindon nick a goal from a set piece or a straight ball through the middle.
We looked completely devoid of any ideas on Saturday and a better team would have killed us off in the first 30mins.

We looked completely devoid of any ideas on Saturday and a better team would have killed us off in the first 30mins. I agree, but then for 90 mins against Accy, 75 against Wombles and 45 against Charlton, we looked more than decent. Somehow, he needs to find a team that can get to those levels again. Hoping Anssi is back. Would start Ozzy, Tutonda and Hare. Daly for Hanlon. Walker as first attacking sub option. |

Anssi must start drop Alfie rest Brandan, play a high press, would get Tom mehew on the bench and Tomlinson to continue the high press need some fresh legs.
It is s$$$ or bust time!
Any casualties on Everest yet?

Sadly have to agree with much of the sentiments expressed here. Resigning myself to L2 next season. As already said, even a win tomorrow probably won't do us much good. Only hope is 4 other teams do even worse. And that doesn't seem likely.

Usually in a dog fight against relegation a team will always have a player who steps up to the plate but at the moment we just seem willing to rollover and have our bellies tickled ! Let’s hope they all step up to the plate for the last 10 tens

Feeling depressed with Rovers as of late. Can’t even bring myself to watch the game if I’m honest.
As with others, I fully expect a huff and puff with no real attacking threat and Swindon to win 1-0 through shocking, basic defending.

Would swap out
Daly - Hanlan
Oztumer - Westbrooke
Hargreaves / Grant - Upson
Day - JVS
Hare and Tutonda as energy subs albeit Tutonda could do the midfield central role from the start possibly.
I dont know best set up for sure...

We cannot rely on other teams around us being worse. That won’t keep us up. The problem is and has been all season that we are shocking in both boxes. The fact that 3 managers have not been able to get a tune out of the players suggests they just aren’t good enough. |

To be honest, looking at those three line-ups makes me think we're doomed. |

Barely looked at the football/forum all day. It was so much more pleasant. |
