Still glad I stayed at home to decorate Think I'd have preferred to have the decorators in, rather than watch the dross served up today. That's just inviting an inappropriate joke TT!!! |

Do you think you could be confusing loyalty with blind loyalty? Define loyalty and then define blind loyalty ? I’m genuinely interested in what you mean. I'm loyal to Rovers but I'm not sure I can watch much more of that sh** week in week out and pay nearly £450 for the pleasure. |

Have to love the loyalty... Do you think you could be confusing loyalty with blind loyalty? Nope not really. Hasn't the best season clearly but its disappointing to learn that some are considering stepping back on their support for the club. I'm certainly not blindly loyal. |

Not pretty to watch, every challenge from the opposition came with a thump and a thud. Nice to see the new guy up front in the second half, he gave back the heavy stuff with a bit of interest.

Both Portsmouth and Sunderland failed to beat relegation contenders today so maybe we should be more optimistic about our chances against them. The players need to feel they can match them and it would help if we can the rub of the green and a decent referee for a change.

As a previous poster pointed out we tend to play better against teams in the top half of the table. Most of our worst performances have been against our relegation rivals |

Ive always supported Rovers whether I like the owners or not , the football is good or not , the results are good or not etc. And I always will. I’ve always got my eyes open and I always understand the situation that the club is in through all these different times that the club has been through. That’s not blind loyalty it’s loyalty and love for my club , the history and what it means to me and the passion and enjoyment I get from being a supporter of my club, regardless of anything . Managers, players , owners, etc come and go but supporters like myself will always be there. That is definitely not blind loyalty. |

We cannot break teams down that try to close us down quickly, when we have more room we look half tidy, like against posh , but Burton wyscum and today poor and not entertaining, which GC clearly sees. Ref was poor but first half we were dreadful. If we go down we will look at today as points dropped. |

I think we need to play our tallest strongest and quickest forwards in these games so that when we’re forced to launch it because they’ve pressed high up the pitch we can win those balls and with the opposition so high up the pitch we can hurt them more. Not pretty but much more effective than launching it to Nichols and Reilly which as we saw today won’t really work. Jak and Harris for the games against high pressing teams. Suck them up in to our half then hit them quick with a long ball to either Harris in the air or through ball to Jakubiak. |

Better second half but didn’t do enough to win it. Great header by rodman but can’t remember their keeper having to make another save.Cogs got us hard to beat so we’ve got a chance of staying up. We should never have been 4 points adrift going in to Christmas with the team we’ve got and the players and manager are doing their best all playing for the shirt I’m happy with that at least. Partington was dreadful how he’s keeping James Clarke out of the side is beyond me. The new lad was atrocious in the middle but was our best player last week so hopefully today was a one off for him. Two tough games coming up I’d bite anyone’s arm off for two points. Their keeper made two very good saves second half. The first from THD was heading for the top right hand corner and the second a save from a good shot by Sercombe. Agree with your comment on Partington but felt that Ogogo put in a reasonable shift. |

I don't think you can accuse others of disloyalty if they choose not to go though. |

I don't think you can accuse others of disloyalty if they choose not to go though. I wouldn’t. Every body has the right to do whatever they want. There’s no contract for supporters. Some only go when the club is doing well , it happens at all clubs, attendances rise and fall through good times and bad. For me the good times are so great because I’ve been there through all our worst times. But each to their own absolutely and I can understand why people get fed up with consistently poor football during bad times and stop their support I just wouldn’t do it myself. |

Agreed, GC's loyalty to last week's winning team cost us today, this was a game for JC & Clarke-Harris/Jak, given GC watched the Shrews at Wolves then why didn't he see that? |

I agree with your team selection, although Partington's crossing has been really hit and miss recently Recently? Okay, he's always been useless at it. I've seen maybe 2 or 3 on all his time at the club |

You cant tell your team and everyone else that you will keep the shirt if you do well and then go back on it. Why don't you see that? |

Probably because he didn't have the opportunity to go forward in time. |
