Also if it’s as simple as that - result - nothing more to be said - then coughlan was our best manager since probably Gerry Francis late 80s and what’s the point in us all being in here ? |

Good result, well done Gas! I didn't watch today, what was the formation? I couldn't work it out from the lineup. Who played wide right, or did we play 4-3-3? Hard to say really it was still 3-5-2 I suppose but otzumer was drifting in between the lines to link play and Nicholson as wing back naturally attacked more than any other right sided player we have for that position. We still showed that we need that experienced midfielder to hold things together in the late stages of games though. Also that we need more strikers , otzumer isn’t a striker and neither is JML but Garner keeps playing players up front who aren’t forwards. Yes, I suppose it was 352 and we do need more strikers with only 3 and Ayunga injured. Our 2nd striker is likely to be a player who’s not a striker if Daly is rested. Today with Oztumer I would have liked to see Daly play off him because he will make runs and Oztumer could find an outlet for his through balls. I understand why he was rested but I’d like to see them together. Perhaps against Fleetwood? I didn’t mind Oztumer having a pop at goal with that chance he missed in the first half but there was an easy ball across the keeper to Hanlan and Nicholson who were unmarked. It really should have been more! UTG! |

Disappointing second half performance as I was feeling very positive at half time.
With the exception of the good chance they had in the final minute of the first half we were in complete control. Progressive passing, creating chances and deservedly leading 2-0. Maybe our best 45 of the season.
Unfortunately we couldn't keep that going and second half we wre very poor and lucky to progress in the end. We were under constant pressure and if it wasn't for good goalkeeping, last ditch blocks and a coat of paint we'd have been heading to extra time. Terrible marking again from a set piece for their goal. We couldn't have had any complaints if they'd levelled things up. They had more possession, 15 shots to our 8, 6 on target to our 2 and 10 corners to our 4.
Obviously winning was the most important thing but we are going to have become more consistant because most L1 sides would have punished us for that second half performance.

I am not sure if you are active in the social media world, but from what I have been shown by relatives, the reaction from a lot of people in the Rovers camp would almost suggest we went down 5-0 and have been bumped out of the cup at the first hurdle. Again. Cup matches are nothing but a single entity, with mass changes from sides up & down the country they have no correlation to the previous weeks league endeavours one bit. We are in the velvet bag Monday evening, by hook or by crook that is all that matters. |

I think I checked the score a couple of times today. Couldn’t give a monkey’s if we won or lost really- we aren’t going to win the cup and a cup run this season is a bit pointless as fans aren’t allowed in so drawing a big club is neither here nor there. The next league game is what matters right now |

I watched on I follow but didn’t jump out of the chair when we scored , the FA cup has lost most of its prestige over the years and like you say with Covid it hardly makes any difference wether we get Liverpool or Luton in the 3rd round if we get there. |

Do you disagree or have something more constructive to say? He doesn’t like people who express opinions different to his . . . |

Thought Ehmer looked better today and the left sided centre back, looked much more comfortable with the ball and brought it forward well at times

I thought the best team won and although we allowed them back into the game in the last 25 minutes, we were never under any real threat once we secured 2-0 status.
For me, m o m Hanlan. Wonderful goal and proving he can score from most situations.
Some really nice passing, movement and tracking, flank play and moving the ball out from our own half. We look more comfortable on the ball than back in September, it's a definite improvement.
I thought Adebayo for them looked useful, and it was nice to see Sincs plying his trade as I think that's the last we will see of him as he's in the twilight of his career and was thoroughly unnoticeable yesterday.
Well done BG for masterminding our passage to round 2, but please sort out the defence....we are soft in the air around the penalty spot where no one takes leadership and we will be punished by more ruthless finishing in 3rd division...
Good result though and potential banana skin avoided.

Hopefully get another League 2 side in the next round, don’t want a non-league banana skin that we seem to go out to every year.

Then again if we do get a non league team there is more chance of it being shown live and us getting more revenue. We ain't gonna win the F A cup,we just need to make as much money from it as possible. |

I thought the first half we were fantastic & should have really been 3 or 4-0 in front. Not sure how Hanlan didn’t get his head on a McCormick cross & Nicholson put a ball across the box that somehow evaded all four of our players waiting to tap it in.
The balance of the team looked as good as I’ve seen this season with Nicholson constantly an outlet high up on the right, Koiki full of pace & power on the left and Oztumer finding pockets of space that linked the midfield & attack so much better.
Second half I was disappointed in how little threat we posed on the counter when Walsall stepped it up & and we were fortunate not to be taken to extra time, IMO.
So the search continues for that consistent 75+ minute performance but I saw real signs in that first half of the team we could be under BG.

If you’re going to tell everyone what to say you could at least practice what you preach Wow, that's a pretty immature thing to say, I've never TOLD anybody what to say, in fact I encourage them by pointing out all the threads that encourage the Garner bashing. I get it its easier to get negative and have a good moan about how crap we are, but I don't really see that as support. I just think it would be great to concentrate on the good parts of the game now matter how few, we SHOULD be moaning if we lost, as for those saying Coughlin was our greatest manager... statistically yes, but he was lucky, hes just been sacked from a club that practically had the old rovers squad playing in a league below us.... Tell me more about how fantastic he is |
