Thought Whelan was holding their player to stop him getting involved. Several of their players looked to have lost their heads towards the end of the game and continued after the final whistle. Must say I quite enjoyed the game only spoiled by the shenanagins at the end. Thought Jasper and Clarke were outstanding, Trevor my man of the match. Only downside was playing with ten men most of the game, Westbrooke yet again a waste of space.

Anssi has done well so far tonight .... one terrifc save and good hands the rest of the time. Glad you’re now supporting the ex goalkeeping coach, just hope there are no penalties! 🤣

Joey Barton and an 18 year old palace player almost scrap at the end because Barton was complaining to the officials about the red: then the palace manager fumed at Barton. Imagine if Barton had smacked that kid out! Having words is a big step from almost having a scarp/smacking a player! Although Barton would have been better asking Whelan what he was playing at to get a needless red rather than creating a needless bust up at the end of the game.

Two players that i thought would play in our defence last Saturday both scored, shame they wern't in the defence instead of the likes of Evens or we may have picked up three points last Saturday. Still a good win that will give players confidence . Both played v Accy at the Mem and we lost? Although neither is a right sided WB.

Good win, shame it got a bit testy at the end, red card in a nothing match is a bit daft but there you go.

Westbrooke is awful .... just awful Huge chance to release Jasper through on goal .... couldnt even make that. Has been tripe again tonight. Yes, ball put on a plate for him by Coburn and he could have put Jasper or Coburn in, but buggered up the simplest of passes.

What has actually happened to Westbrooke? I refuse to believe he was this bad when we signed him. There must be something going seriously wrong in his life for his career to go die like this. I can appreciate he might not be as good as we originally thought. But he can’t even do the basic stuff right.

I thought that Whelan was holding their lad back, to stop him getting involved. It looked a bit aggressive to me as it ended with a ruck with 3 or 4 Palace players, although not really sure why he got a red rather than a yellow. Although Barton then adds to it by being overly argumentative at the final whistle and it seems had to be ushered away by our fitness coach, whilst Jaakola did a Whelan with Palace player!

I put in more effort in the game tonight and I'm not only 72, but was sat on my sofa!

Barton was trying to have a reasonable chat with ref at the end when the Palace player tried to jump in very aggressively. Joey was ushered away when it became clear he was not taking the guys sh**.

Westbrooke won't play in the first team again in the league and needs to be loaned out in Jan.At least tonight confirmed what we all knew.He hardly had a touch v FGR and was very timid.Something not right there.

It looked to me he was trying to blame the Palace player for Whelan's red and, not surprisingly, he took exception, Barton looked the aggressor to me and looked a right idiot having to be ushered away from a team of U23 players we'd just beaten fairly convincingly.

Thought Jasper and Clarke combined well down the left the Palace number 43 was particularly physical. Several of their players over reacted to challenges not used to that in Academy matches.
Good to see Josh Coburn involved for 45 mins he looks a good physical player prepared to rough up defenders. Hope he progresses well with match fitness.
Great to see Rovers win for the first time since Oxford.
A win over Swindon and hopefully through to the knock out stages and who knows a Wembley Final!

How can you tell what Barton is saying to the ref? Whilst he’s talking to the ref (no idea what he’s saying) it was clearly the palace player who came in as the aggressor saying something to JB that he didn’t like.
