Can only go on what I seen compared to other teams this season and they were bad as Bury. and they did lose 4-1 to Oxford who are below us... They were nowhere near as bad as Bury. Bury's keeper literally gifted us two goals. We at least had to work for our goals yesterday. Admittedly Coventry gave up after the 3rd went in. Agree with some of that but straight after our third pudds made a good save, they hit the bar & the fluffed a decent follow up chance.

That's why they are where they are i guess. Arrogance & a complete lack of understanding that you get 3 points but beating the oppo and f all for losing. 4-1 doesn't lie. We were far better than them and if they can't compete with a middling team on their own dodgy run then they better start worried. Precisely who are they going to beat?? Cambridge dicked them 4-0 in the cup remember

Very pleased with the win yesterday and the return to form of Billy Bodin. We have missed a player of his calibre who had one thought from the outset; attack and go for goal. The one man show was really the difference between the two sides. The width which Montana added along with Bodin cutting in from the right made for a more attacking Rovers, although Montano second half was a spectator. 4.4.2 certainly suited the players out there yesterday but take away Bodin and that was a poor performance overall. I am surprised no one has mentioned Will Puddys brilliant save second half, full stretch to his left. That shot was hit with pace and had goal written all over it! he had no chance with their goal, a calamity piece of defending with four Rovers shirts marking one player and the ball still ends up in the net! Overall a very good day out. Onwards and Upwards. I'm not surprised! It seems to me that the majority of posters are doing their very best to destroy the bloke's confidence. This negativity must get back to him. That was an excellent save, and he also took several high balls very well. His kicking is far superior to that of Mildy, and also Roos - the ball actually goes to a blue shirt more often than not. (Having said that, he put too much height on the kicks yesterday). I'm not sure in my own mind whether he should have come for the corner or not, but Willis simply moved past a static Gaffers to head the goal. At the moment, Will Puddy is our best option - give the bloke a chance. (Ducks in anticipation of the vitriol that will come my way!)

I might go out on a limb here but I agree with them. It was definitely more of a case of them being awful than us playing particularly well. I don't want to sounds negative but that is how I seen the game. Don't get me wrong, that was much better than we have been of late but nothing special. When you think Lines, Taylor and Gaffney who have been 3 of our better players this season and none of which really shone yesterday. If anything you write there is even vaguely true doesn't it make it all even better? If we really did just won 4-1 in lge 1 without apparently playing well and with some of our best players not shining then we must be doing something right. Honestly don't know what some gasheads expect. You beat what's in front of you. And if you can do it by always being ahead in the game (0-0 apart...), letting the fans enjoy it & playing some really attractive football then that's a birthday BJ to most fans. Do you remember us failing to beat lots of teams in the conf??

Not sure about that, there was an incident in the first half when Puddy dived in to try and collect on the edge of his area only for our player to clear it from his grasp, taking no chances. That happened twice in the first half but you see that happening quite often unless a massive shout from the keeper which wouldn't have happened in those two cases. Defenders rule..if in doubt kick it out, take no chances. Totally agree. Just as Lockyer should have done with the first goal at Shrewsbury.

I wonder if cov fans are asking when their keeper let Hayley's glancing header past him? And couldn't stop bodin even though everyone knew where he was aiming for? Have people forgotten puds in conf? His kicking & distribution was always good & he always came out of his goal quick & long when a man was through & coming at him (sometimes too long - cf. Wembley!!). Sadly though he'll never grow! Final aside... Surely just like bodin, or any other outfield player peak fitness & a run in the team could help? No player finds it easy when he's been out for basically 1 1/2 seasons.

He done the right thing staying put as, with four Rovers shirts in front of him marking one player, you would have thought the ball would not end up in the net!

Do you remember us failing to beat lots of teams in the conf?? I'm not criticising us. Just not fooling myself thinking we have a team capable of making the play offs after beating an absolutely shocking side 4-1. P.S how can an opinion be true or false?

If we beat an inconsistent Dons on Saturday we'll be right behind the Play Off spots, so you don't need to fool yourself?

Puddy is being treated as some sort of laughing stock and Roos as some sort of hero. I think the way some of our fans treat or talk about Puddy is disgusting. He has played his part in getting us to where we are and has been a better keeper for us than Roos has.

I'm intrigued how George Thomas gets on for them if he plays. He's only 19 but played for us a couple of seasons ago in a friendly and I was very impressed by him. Could cause us problems from the bench. Boom! Scored the goal today. 🙁

It's amazing how many people hate me being right. But right I am yet again.
It was supposed to say a friendly against us though not for us.
