great atmosphere,fantastic game,,,stunning how clarke played 2 up front with 10 men and the boys really took the game to eastleigh who seemed confused and started lumping it anywhere,,,until late in the game when we started to look tired having been 1 man short for an hour. great goal from ollie clarke though his passing is still a worry but great team performance,lee brown and ellis harrison standing out for me with lockyer,trotman,mansell and sinclair also very good

Game faces on for Saturday though. Dover won 3-0 tonight, so no free rides. I can't believe I'm reading that. You're not wrong, but I still haven't come to terms with where we are and who our rivals are. This is from a link on the Eastleigh forum: The story of Bristol Rovers’ last three years, though, is in marked contrast to Eastleigh’s recent tale of upwards momentum. If relegation out of League One in 2011 – after four campaigns spent at that level – was a hurtful blow, then demotion out of the Football League in May came as a dagger through the heart of a proud club. The broadcast interview given by Darrell Clarke - only elevated from his assistant’s post to take on manager’s duties at the Memorial in late March - in the immediate wake of the last day defeat to Mansfield that cost his club their Football League status, is unquestionably one of the most compelling pieces of television you could wish to see. Unable – and unwilling – to suppress his emotions, Clarke cut a completely desolate figure; a man who couldn’t comprehend how his team – which, when it beat Morecambe in their new manager’s first match in control on March 29th, was six points clear of danger (and held a game in hand over its nearest rivals) - had contrived to go down. Moreover, the young boss evidently felt betrayed by the players in his charge. Nevertheless, even mired in such utter dejection, there was an aura that emanated from Clarke which suggested that this was a wrong he was determined to right. The ex-Hartlepool United player, when appointed to the Salisbury City helm in 2010, took to management in an instant. Across the subsequent three years, Clarke went on to take the Wiltshire team from the Southern Premier Division back into the Conference Premier – before he left for the ‘Gas’, initially to work as right-hand man to John Ward. Even operating in the non-league sphere, Rovers are routinely attracting home gates above the 5,000 mark - and had more than 7,000 for the season curtain-raiser against Grimsby Town. The pressure on the manager, therefore, to guide the club back into the league, is acute. Despite those demands, Clarke’s team have overcome a sluggish start to win their last five games. Today’s Rovers line-up, understandably, doesn’t boast names like that of now Liverpool attacker Rickie Lambert – a key part of the Gas side that won 2007’s League Two play-off final against Shrewsbury Town, and who featured large in the 2008 cup run that took in triumphs over Fulham and Southampton, before it was convincingly halted by West Bromwich Albion. Jake Gosling, formerly of Exeter City and one of nine summer recruits to the Memorial Stadium, scored the only goal of Rovers’ 1-0 victory at Southport on Saturday. A club that in 1992 was embarking upon its third consecutive season playing just one division below the top-flight, and has paraded striking talents of the ilk of Marcus Stewart (now Number 2 to Clarke), Nathan Ellington and Jason Roberts in its ranks, now relies upon Cambridge United loanee Adam Cunnington and Matt Taylor, released by Forest Green Rovers in the summer, to shoulder the front-running burden (former Salisbury City man Jamie White is currently waiting on the side-lines for a run in his new club’s first eleven).Read that and thought what a good article, but even though i've accepted where we are when read it feels like someones nailed my nut to the front door Im probably going to get slaughtered for this but i believe this will do us good in the long run, as i said before one directors gone which seems to have signalled a turn around of attitude from the staff, lets hope the club carries on rebuilding and the team we have continue to grow and improve, i would love to see how this team would play in the league .as the seem to have a pride in wearing the quaters we havent seen for a long long time I've read the thread frfom where i had to switch off(for my own sanity) last night and expected the head to drop on the pitch,but from what ive read the boys, carried on and battled to a draw, well done to all players and coaching staff for reigniting the famous rovers fighting spirit, long may it continue
