Not a great night results wise.
Exeter get promotion, so won’t be fighting for it over their next couple of games.
Mansfield leapfrog us.
Sutton win to put pressure on us.
Swindon win meaning if things go really bad over the next couple of games, dropping out of the playoffs is still a possibility.
But.
We already knew it was out of our hands, all we can do is win our games and see where we finish. We have the easier set of fixtures than the sides around us.

Surely no professional would Chuck it in with two games to spare when a Championship winner’s medal is up for grabs. Plus a trophy to lift, open top bus parade etc…into the clubs history books. Didn’t see us lay down in front of Blackpool in ‘90 & wouldn’t expect it all these years later. I think Once a club has won promotion , the fans run on the pitch , there’s wild celebrations going on then it pulls a psychological curtain down on the season in most cases. I think it’ll be play offs for us now but you never know.

Hope Exeter go and win their last 2 games and win the league now. Both for Rovers sake given who they’re playing, and they were my pre-season bet to win it.

Bad night. Unlikley to jump over 3 teams with only 2 games left. Hope we do the job and comfortably seal our play off place.

We’re obviously not going to be favourites given we’ve got 3 teams to get past but all 3 have got games that I could see them slipping up in, and we’ve definitely got a chance of taking 6 points from 6. The odds are against us but there’s definitely hope yet.

I'd say if we can't beat dale and scunthorpe then we really don't even deserve to be in the play offs,sadly I don't think we have quite got enough in the tank,hopefully I'm wrong.

They’ve only lost 1 of their last 16 home games in the league and we don’t have a great record there either.

How important are our next 2 games-
6 points & we’re still in with the chance of the 3rd place 4 points & were guaranteed a play off place 3 points or less & we could miss out completely
Let’s get to Rochdale if you can & do our bit to help get the lads over the line

Not a great night results wise. Exeter get promotion, so won’t be fighting for it over their next couple of games. Mansfield leapfrog us. Sutton win to put pressure on us. Swindon win meaning if things go really bad over the next couple of games, dropping out of the playoffs is still a possibility. But. We already knew it was out of our hands, all we can do is win our games and see where we finish. We have the easier set of fixtures than the sides around us. I think they will, we didn't put our flip flops on in 1990 did we? We went to Blackpool to win the title. I am sure Exeter will be doing the same, nothing better than being crowned Champions.
We just need to do our jobs, win both our remaing games and see what happens.

Just to clarify I meant they won’t be fighting for promotion. Yes, they’ll be fighting for the title.

Surely Exeter will be wanting the title now Like FGRs tonight?? They will be out celebrating and who can blame them. Lots of clubs do poorly, after clinching promotion. Wanted Exeter to lose tonight, but a lot of fans wanted them to win.

That assumes Port vale and Mansfield only get another 2 points each and that Sutton don't win their two games.

Not sure what you are trying to say?
