Too many clowns in the team tonight. Leahy dreadful penalty and even worse follow up. Keeper is useless and Kelly and Kilgour not up to9 it. Daley unfortunately doesn't have a goal in him . Despite all this it was a decent performance that should have seen us win 2-0 but instead go out of the competition. What it did show tonight is that we are dreadfully short up front and need a goalscorer. Probably not a bad thing to be out of this cup buyt di8sappointing after being the better team for most of the game.

Brannigan scores the winning penalty but no justice really as he should have been booked twice. But someone tell JVS to cut out the clowning around, you dont save many that way! Glad nobody told Bruce Grobbelaar that in 1984. Eric you have to go back a long way, but I can remember that as well  |

Decent performance by all accounts, but were any of our penalties taken by a forward/striker? Unfortunately we don't have a decent striker, he is now at Peterborough. Daly reminds me of Reilly. Runs around a lot but a striker he is not. Had three decent chances tonight, but had to have a first touch every time and that let him down everytime. I have to agree Bideford. I don't want to be negative about a performance that was good overall but Walker came out of tonight with credit for me and I thought less of Daly. Funny enough, I was thinking similar about Reilly. He is a bit different but ultimately both Daly and Reilly don't offer much other than getting in behind and scoring, if they don't score when given the chance then not much point in playing them. Kieran Phillips looks miles off breaking through yet. |

Not a single Rovers player put a foot wrong all evening. And sorry to disappoint you, but we are still in the trophy. |

If we win the next game then we could go through. The penalty situation makes it complicated though. Oxford on 4, Walsall on 3. Us on 2 Oxford on 5 Ah, BBC says 4 but you must be right yes. If we win, then I think we'll get through as if Oxford lose, we'll have better GD anyway. If they draw, and Walsall win on pens, then we'd have better goal difference, and if Oxford wins we'd have more points than Walsall. Obviously Oxford win we waltz through. |

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Something we’re used to under Garner. Up until Saturday we were snatching defeat from the jaws of defeat. |

Steve we are desparate for some experience up front but also to help the likes of Walker who clearly has potential. I feel under this system the strikers spend far too much time chasing down the opposition rather than being in the right postion, too many wrong (but understandable due to their inexperience) options get taken in my view. |

Thought most of the guys did very well tonight ... The youngsters were excellent.
Leahy back to his usual standard ... trying to be involved in everything, thinking he is the real deal at free kicks etc but not good enough at the basics of his role... Kilgour still not the colossus of last season.
That we went into the penalty shoot out without a striker on the pitch says it all ... We need another Goal threat as an absolute priority. We all know it, but it's whether 'TK MAXX Ben' realises it.
Strangely disappointed after a great performance - as I would have liked to see the Young Guns get the real plaudits they deserved with an away win - just messed up by Fred Bloody Flinstone and his woeful penalty rebound miss.
Realised its just as well I never became a Football Manager as I would have told Leahy to find his own way home after that.

If we don't have a striker/forward who is up for taking a penalty, then they are not a striker/forward! We have to find one before the window closes. |

I'd agree we're short up top, we should have put the game to bed well before they equalised. Not sure where your criticism of the keeper, Kilgour & Kelly comes from, goalie had nothing to do for the majority of the game and the back 3 were very good throughout. They've limited Oxford to pretty much nothing all game, if Leahy scores the pen we'd all be praising a very good away performance |

Good performance, we're not out of the cup. Plenty of positives to write home about (maybe not Leahy's penalties though!)
Maybe even I can start to believe in garner ball. We can't get too carried away though this cup is full of surprises and a bit of a b-team special.

Rose tinted specs I think - Kelly and Kilgour were dreadful,Leahy not much better and we are desperately short of strikers. We missed at least 3 golden opportunities. I am not saying it was a bad performance but we miss the easiest chances. Daley doesn't have a goal in him.

If Walsall win on pens then they would finish a point above us? Think we need Oxford to win or win on pens. |

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Something we’re used to under Garner. Wow that's a touch harsh as I don't blame BG at all I'm actually more impressed that the youngsters looked very good and the way we set up was very positive. If LL dosent miss an open goal from 6 yards then we win comfortably. |

I’m almost certain you didn’t watch a single minute and are purely chancing this. |

You can't read too much into these games. I think we did well considering the competition and the squad. |

Never bet on us to win. Bet on us to lose then whatever the result you're either quids in or we have at least a point (league) 🤪 Or just don't bet... If I were a gambling man I'd bet on us conceding in the last 5 minutes. I could own an Island by now. Think I'll take up gambling.. |
