i dont like this crappy competition and the attendances were very poor all over the country which is good news i reckon. the game tonight was very flat and rovers were unable to raise the pace of the game enough to force a win against a poor but very hard working yeovil team. james and montano were given full games and for me failed to make the most of there chance to impress. i didnt think the team played badly with most of the team doing ok but leadbitter still struggling for confidence and colkett made many poor passes when he came on,although i thought sinclair and boateng both played well and used the ball to good effect. I actually think Luke James had a good game, was very industrious and looked to bring others into play. Boatang is a strong player with pretty good close control, but still isn't the player many thought we were getting. Their keeper pulled off a couple of very good saves to keep them in the match, plus we were denied a stonewall penalty in the first half for the agricultural challenge on Luke James (confirmed by watching screen soccer hi-lights after the game). Dawsons sending off was sheer stupidity, the referee was suffering from an acute case of "short man" syndrome. He wins a foul (which I thought was soft) then immediately raises his hand, as the "porg" ran across to book him he gave him a mouthful - what a drongo! UTG |

Thought he tried hard enough, but actually created very little for us. He looked like a little boy lost, when he came on against Sheff Utd, and last night he passed up an opportunity to show what he could do against a lower league team. |

Ok This slag went to the game and thought it was utter crap.
The Beard - Why is he playing for the Rovers - utter sh@t cant pass a ball FORWARD....
Monty - Rubbish
Botang can go back to CP Now
James & Roos the only two that look class, even Taylor when he came on looked as if he did not want to be there

Disagree, he has treated Mildy in a professional manner. Told him he was surplus to requirements, Mildy earnt his place back and DC stuck with him. This season DC gave him some games and decided that we need better in this division. Something I fully agree with and so do many others and Roos is just that. He hasn't mistreated him in the slightest. As for playing tonight, keepers don't injure themselves as often as an outfield player might so not a great deal of risk and every minute Roos plays us good experience for him and for his relationship with the back 4 - all of which will play a lot of games in front of him this season. Also if you can only make 6 changes under these rules, keeper is the last position I'd change. Oh yes told him at the end of the transfer window that he could find another club. And earn't his place back? Exactly who else was left to play when Puddy lasted 47 mins at Daggers last year? Because had there been anyone else then they'd have been in front of Mildy. An absolute professional who we were lucky to still have at the club when there was no-one else left to play. He brought in Chapman in mid August on loan which would indicate that Mildy wouldn't be first choice. A legitimate footballing decision and Mildy decided to stay and try and earn his place back. This probably tied up wages to get a permanent keeper in but that's fine, that's football and Mildy is entitled to do so and both parties were professional and respectful. Then Chapman and Nicholls didn't work out, Puddy was favoured and got injured. Mildy came back better than before and proved everyone wrong including DC and full credit to him for that. DC saw this and kept him in over Puddy for the rest of the season. No qualms there at all and we are all thankful for the part Mildy played on both out promotions. As for this season, it was fairly common knowledge he was after a new keeper for weeks and brought one in before the deadline. If Clarke had doubts over an ageing Mildenhall in league 2 then obviously there would be serious questions a year on in league 1. Roos is a better keeper from what I've seen and unfortunately as great an ambassador he is, there can be no room for sentiment. So DC has replaced an ageing keeper he doesn't think is good enough and has been honest throughout. So what's the problem here exactly? And do you know that Mildy feels mistreated? Probably gutted to be out the team but I'm sure he's been around long enough to respect the decision and who's to say he's not having a large role to play in the development of our young keeper? |

That's DC's privilege, although given Roos hasn't kept a clean sheet yet it's not clear whether he's any better or even whether be here next season, anyway my point was that DC's never letting Mildenhall have any game time, even in meaningless EFL cup or reserve games. Clean sheets or not, Roos is the better keeper. Roos made a couple of great saves on Saturday. Both of which could easily have led to goals if Mildy was in goal I believe. Also his distribution is a lot better. What's hard to understand, my point wasn't about who's the better keeper but the fact SM is getting no game time so will be ring rusty if he's ever called upon. Roo's is clearly DC's No 1 now, hopefully, he'll be still here next summer and DC won't be searchin around for yet another keeper. |

Whatever the fans think of the competition, the players are paid to perform for Bristol Rovers FC and that is what they should do. were you at the game?
I wasn't no, I've never attended any matches in this competition in any of its forms.
That said, you would expect a strong Rovers side to comfortably turn over a weakened Yeovil team at home with 10 men don't you think?
Or cant we be critical of results now because we have had 2 successive promotions?

They get paid to give a rats arse, whatever competition they are playing in. Why any fan would think different is beyond me. Are they not trying to secure places for league games?
What about the fans who did pay to turn up, do they deserve to watch players not giving a toss?

On the contrary, Roos now has his first clean sheet under his belt and more minutes behind our defence. Happy days! |

Milds didn't look too rusty away at Portsmouth last season. The outfield players on the other hand...

Mansell & Mcrystal should have been sent on or started to give much needed game time. An ideal time missed as they have been fit for a number of weeks now. Hartley looks solid but slow, he didn't look like getting on the end of our attacking corners, Boateng was effective at times but gave the ball away a lot because he could only pass off his left foot. Charlie boy was poor albeit he only had 15 mins again to showboat his cross field passes most of which went astray, and Sincs, well still only passes backwards.
The forwards ran the channels well, Brown had so much space but was hardly ever given the ball. Leads is just suffering with confidence, he is good enough without doubt. I just think that all those on the bench could have had 90 minutes in a derby type environment which does go with bragging rights, the players on show last night didn't really want it. Great penalties though.

Not for me, out of choice I didn't even go in 2007 for the JPT final.
best chance to get to Wembley though, against weakened and inexperienced teams!!

we were poor in the 1st half but very dominant in the 2nd half but it was one of those games where we couldnt force a winner against a packed defence and hard working opponents,as well as some poor decision making by our players. "the players are paid to perform" etc comment was a bit unfair imo as it implied a lack of effort |

I'm just going by reports and family that were there. Many have said some players didn't look interested, or treated it as a training game.
Is that all teams have to do then, pack the defence to gain something from the game? Even still, you would have thought against a poor weakened Yeovil team down to 10 men on our home patch we would have done better than 0-0.

No. But much as you would turning up to watch a friendly you get the level of competition relative to the importance of the match. Given the competition is a joke and ticket prices are massively reduced you get what you'd expect. I'd expect the manager to use it to experiment and try things out and not worry massively about the result. The players will care, just not as much and the level of performance won't be on par with a league game. Unlike the competition itself, where Prem teams can essentially do what they like and EFL teams have to tow a strict line, that seems fair. |
