Absolutely dominant for the first 20 minutes under caretaker manager Anthony Hayes, who underscored his desire to move more quickly in attack in his pre-match interview. The difference was made by midfielders Rak-Saki and Payne flooding into the box; we could have been three or four nil up in the first half.
Absolutely abysmal in the second half. Flat and second to every ball, we allowed Bristol Rovers to grow into the game. An individual error from Ryan Innis allowed substitute John Marquis to score after only five minutes on the pitch. Heads dropped, predictably, and we never looked like getting back into it as the writing was on the wall. Not long after, Marquis struck again and Bristol Rovers never looked back.
If this isn’t rock bottom, I don’t want to know how much deeper we can fall. We can’t keep a clean sheet to save our lives and still, after multiple opportunities to strengthen, we’ve failed to address our defensive frailties. Well, not frailties, they’re gaping holes in our centre back pairing.

... Or am I doing League 2 a disservice and we're much worse than that??
Inniss and Lavelle are so shit together. Need O'Connell back asap.
Two and a half hour drive home.
Happy days.
Ps Don't forget to get your half year season tickets which are still on sale.
Rovers had both Goals gifted to them on a bloody plate, you struggle to win games if you cant keep the ball out of your net, you're definitely not going to win games if you gift the opposition them...
Your boring attitude of: "Well just keep scoring" whilst ignoring that the defence has to do its job, continues to make you a twat - Especially when we scored seven goals in two games and came away with two points.
I know it's the giving season but that's taking the piss. Two absolutely gift wrapped goals.
And after such a bright opening half an hour, when we could well have been 2 or 3 up, that's hard to take.
We don't
This is the worst group of players in living memory
Hayes is the 5th person put in charge by Sandgaard to try and get a tune out of them
Unfortunately the tune is as bad as when Tommy boy tries to strum his guitar.
Utter shit squad of players
All down to you Sandgaard
Just sell the club and FUCK OFF
Sandgaard needs to get a proper manager in and he needs to do it before we play Peterborough following what will surely be an absolute humiliation against Brighton.
Just sigh!
1. We have no natural goalscorer, so we have to have 6 efforts to get one goal. Therefore we do not score consistently.
2. We play 'Garnerball' at the back with players who cannot pass the ball or control it properly. So we give goals away.
Not scoring with our chances and giving goals away, all aboard the relegation express.
At HT Rovers got accused of being average... and whilst we should have scored more, they ensured that we didnt - Does no one realise now that to do well at this level, the answer isnt necessarily to throw money at a problem and hope it sticks, its to create unity amongst of individuals and turn them into a squad...
Bristol Rovers had that by the bucket load today, as do most other sides this season, hence why when we've gone up against half the Division, we've barely come away with a point, thats if we've been lucky.
Indeed, there are mistakes Inniss.
A week’s a long time in football..
Wednesday will be Hayes last game in charge hopefully.
Not sure this bunch are capable of it though. They think they’re better than they are. Very few grafters in the team and no leadership. Looks so bleak at the moment.
Inniss has had 4 different managers and still cocks up multiple times at LCB.
WE NEED A SPORTS PSYCHOLOGIST.
We need better players.
We need a better owner.
We need to evolve.
Right now we're critically endangered and at risk of extinction. I do not believe we'll ever get back to the Championship if we go to L2, forget the PL.
I'm starting to think he's right. I don't see the necessary fight or skill in our squad to keep us up. Worrying times.
