Straight red all day long. Wasn't anywhere near the ball and appeared to deliberately just kick the players legs out. Terrible challenge. Clipping someone’s heels 40 yards from goal isn’t a straight red in any form of the game. Correct it shouldn't have been a red seen that happen so many times and the player gets a yellow. The fact challenges like that should be a red as no attempt at all is made for the ball and just a wild hack at a player. All you want is consistency 999 out of a 1000 its a yellow but not tonight. Not really to bothered as I hate the competition but we should have been so far out of touch before they equalise its so frustrating but we have seen that all to often this season. |

Worrying signs for me. I think we will struggle for the rest of the season. Smacks of BG team, try to play football, but can score or defend. Good luck to MT is all I can say. Grant, Collins, Marquis, Gordon, Crama, Bogarde nowhere near good enough. Collins is good enough just off form, Gordon's been OK in his last couple of games but could be out injured now anyway, not sure what's happened to Bogarde and Crama but it's MT's job to get the best out of his players. |

And that’s why Gibbons should be nowhere near this team - absolute prat. No leadership on the pitch from Finley - totally clueless performance second half. But it was never a red? Not that it really matters as I doubt Gibbons will be here next season when the suspension kicks in. Clear Red … made no attempt to play the ball. Gibbons is woeful and will be had when he is gone. |

Grant, Collins, Marquis, Gordon, Crama, Bogarde nowhere near good enough. Agree with some of those but: Collins - may never reach "those" heights again, but DEFINITELY better than currently showing and clearly low on confidence Marquis - not brilliant, but also doesn't deserve to be put alongside Grant and Crama IMO We all thought that Grant was a good player when he was unfit, when he plays he is pathetic. |

He's actually a better played when he's injured |

Wow, how terrible was that second half? First half we were half decent getting on the front foot with pace and not afraid to shoot.
Second half disjointed, no leadership and looked like eleven random players who'd never met before. The whole lot were useless and I pity Matt Taylor and the task ahead.

The only positive from that match. We didn't score an own goal.

Lmao No I wasn't. Hence the word NEW. Good to see you again by the way! I believe when you made your first ever trip to the UK to go to the Mem I met you in a pub beforehand, and we watched the game together! Hope you're well! Sorry. Not me I was a tote ender and Bath until 20 years old (1988) Met a lot at Wembley for the conf final and Ci*y away. |

Should have been out of sight by half time and then didn't turn up 2nd half. Two terrible goals to concede particularly the 2nd one which was absolutely criminal.
We've effectively been turned over by Crawley reserves which is a worry in itself. We need Wilson & Taylor to stay fit as Crama looks an accident waiting to happen at the moment.
Taylor will have learnt about some of those players tonight, team selection on Saturday will be interesting

I know it’s an old saying and we’ve lost tonight and it was poor but MT will learn more from his squad tonight then if we smashed them 5-0.

Oh dear oh dear …. Oh F-in dear!!! Mr Taylor this is Bristol Chuffing Rovers - 1 step forward and 3 steps back into the ruddy wilderness. To be fair, I think MT was tinkering with the set up this evening, trying to figure out who fits and who should be digging trenches in a field and ruddy vanish. Dreading Saturday and Mr Clark sniffing weakness.

I hope that abject second half isn’t linked to players sulking about their obvious want to keep Mangan

Second half disjointed, no leadership and looked like eleven random players who'd never met before. The whole lot were useless and I pity Matt Taylor and the task ahead. Utterly bizarre second half. We made the subs and it completely fell apart. The crazy thing is that most of the subs are players who are "meant" to be like-for-like quality wise (based on the general consensus). Thomas is by FAR the best player in the squad Collins is better than he's showing - but I'm not sure what the answer is; drop or try to get him to play through this sh*t patch Woods is better than I think some are now saying Taylor is good enough Beyond that I'm not really convinced on anybody. Some players are good enough 1 week then conference standard then next and others are just clearly sh*te fullstop. I think we have enough to survive (we are definitely better than the Garner team) but it I think we'll finish closer to relegation than promotion on current showing. |

Is anyone getting deja vu from the B-tech Ben days? Try to play football, but we can't score goals or keep goals out. Worrying for me tbh.
