Nichols starts . I really hope he gives it everything I can just about handle strikers not scoring if they’re giving it everything but I haven’t seen that from him yet. To be fair Nichols looked like he wanted it today for the first time that I’ve seen and fair play to him for that, poor finishing at times but also a decent save it could have been an 8 out of 10 rather than a six with a bit of luck. I’d still start Telford over him and try and sign Telford too. |

Mental how everyone around me blames Nichols all the time,the whole team have been sh**e that’s because the other players have shown something previously and we have faith - I have no faith in Nichols! I’d rather have Paul Tait up front! I actually think we played very well in the second half today creating loads of chances and could have scored 4 or 5 with a bit of luck, we hit the woodwork twice too. First half was scrappy but we had plenty of possession and created plenty of chances which were poorly finished in that half too, not bad play just bad finishing. UTG |

I'm always amazed at some of the negativity around Rovers both on here & at the ground. Literally the 1st moan next to us came within 30 secs of kick off then I read through here and find myself wondering if I've watched a different game. Nichols has copped a load on here today but he actually had a decent game of course as a striker he'll be judged on goals & he's not delivered on that front but that doesn't mean he was poor today despite what some would like to believe

If only you could have held on a few more minutes....sorry to see you have gone anghymhwysedd. You were one of the better posters on here imo. I hope you do come back. Looked through all the posts and history log and can't seem to work out why anghymhwysedd deleted account so promptly.... But I agree with your sentiment, a really good member who will be missed.... Maybe gone over to the dark side but I hope not as I agree a good contributor to the forum |

The game played out as I expected really, a tough battle and one, on the balance of play, we deserved to win...just about! I don't think anyone particulary stood out, although I'd say Bennett was deservedly MOTM. Nichols had one or two chances, but his confidence seems to be low (for obvious reasons) and he got knocked off the ball too easily for my liking. Telford came on, looked lively and took his goal well...hopefully he'll get more of an opportunity between now and the end of the season. I thought Bola and Mensah had poor games today unfortunately. Both of their crossing was wayward (apart from one beauty from Bola) and Bola looked shaky in defence on occasions. A win is a win and we keep our slim playoff chances alive. Another win on Monday is a must...Onwards and upwards... UTG I thought Bola was ok. Partington had a shocker imo and his poor game didn't help Mensah. Bennett looked head and shoulders better than anyone else today. Felt sorry for Nichols because he should have burried that header early on and if he had I think it would have been a comfortable win. |

Bennett looked a class above today, Ellis was unlucky not to score, Nicho lively, Telford strong and took his goal well. Moore looks a different player of late. Frustrated with Parts crossing and a few of Linesys corners however took the pen coolly 😎 so let him off! Pitch was heavy but you can see the groundsmen have spent a lot of time and effort making it playable so they deserve some credit.
I think we can sneak into the top six, but must go for it now with wins as draws ain’t no good, shot or bust time!
Dust ourselves down onto the next project them players did us proud today.

I was also impressed with the playing surface today. We have had a lot of rain in the last day and a bit. I was expecting a mud bath. As you said big congrats to all the ground staff |

Bring on Byron Moore,that’s how sh** we are wake up wael Byron has looked good recently and did again today. What the hell has Wael got to do with it? maybe cause it’s coming towards the end of his contract,the last time I checked wael was the owner? We were sh**e today and could only beat a poor team by a dodgy pen |

I moved at halftime as couldn't stand listening to the idiot next to me making snide, sarcastic comments every time TN touched the ball. On one occasion he even had to check with his mate which player had just miscontrolled a pass and as soon as it was confirmed to be TN off he went on another rant. We've all got our favourite players and preferred formations but are we not all supposed to be supporting BRFC? If you don't like a certain player just shut up and still support the team. Whether we like TN or not the club paid a lot of money for a talented young player and DC will persevere and continue to work with him. Until DC makes a decision to let him go we should back him. |

Seems a bit unfair given he's spent most of the season unused on the bench. If he was good enough he would have got into the team, its not like he's even had any competition I would have to disagree, until January Bodin pretty much owned the right side of midfield which is also Byron's preferred position. It's no coincidence that since Bodin has left Byron has had more game time imo. I actually think there's a decent player in there which he's starting to glimpses of right now. |

I must give a shout out to the Bury manager. Was getting a bit animated and I assume there was some choice words coming out of his mouth. Looked round to see some younger supporters on the terrace were within earshot so did mouth an apology and hold his hand up. Nice to see

Always found his posts to be interesting, thoughtful and insightful. I often found myself agreeing with what he said. I had a quick scan through the match day thread and couldn't see anything that could have led to him getting upset. |

I enjoyed the second half as the first half was not pleasing to mine eye. KB looked sharp and full of trickery and deserved his MOM. JP gets into good positions but over got so many crosses.
Im still cold and damp but happy with the result. Oh, a seagull sh** on my youngest

Just don't get those who want to moan at ever little thing, laughable. At the end of the day, we could have won the by 4 or 5. Dreading the Blackburn and Wigan games like pompey and Bradford yeah? |
