Not the best game but tense, hope all those who dropped by to support 'Fartown' were made welcome....



See you at your place...

I was one of the pessimists when they first started coming. But I'm converted, they seem good lads and its a bit of a laugh.



Funnier when you're winning mind!

Bit meh really, Rovers did nothing special but as we are becoming accustomed to we gifted them field position time and again by failing to respect possession, we are still trying to score off every set and pushing the passes rather than building pressure.



Defence wasn't it's usual high standard summed up by Kelly simply picking his spot where to score despite numbers there.

Attack wise we don't look like creating anything - no breaks, 1 or 2 barnstorming runs but apart from that it was all very predictable.

Couple of dodgy tries and other decisions went against us but we were our own worst enemy at times.



Great support by the C&G again if not big on numbers.

Cheers Daz.



Sounds pretty much like the story of the last 2 weeks.



What can be done to sort out these issues which are occurring more or less every game?



Let's hope we can put it right against saints on Sunday who will have a point to prove after today's defeat.

Great support today lads, always nice to see. I think you must like a trip east on Easter Monday, as I recall a similar turnout in 2009. Hope the defeat didn't spoil your day too much. You were a bit off pace with your passing and lacked discipline (I'm used to seeing both these traits from Rovers).

Cheers

I'll second the shout for best fans that have been to craven park.

Typical easter Monday game. Our kick defence was far better than yours which was the difference.

Good luck rest of the year.

Gotta agree with posts about the fans,great support and very loud throughout the match,best away fans for ages at our place..although i did get a bit sick of hearing Depeche Mode on the trumpet at around the 6th time!!

The game was as i expected to be honest,a tight scrappy match where both teams are off the pace thanks to the Easter schedule.Couldnt have complained if the result had gone Hudds way,altough if Mantellato had had his normal kicking accuracy it wouldnt have been as nervy at the end! Good luck for rest of the season.

Good post. East stand was a bit subdued as was our offence. Were did you get them fans from...have you part exchanged the library

apart from a few numpties in the "family" section(what's new?) along with the fox mascot's behaviour!! trying to cause trouble, most of the rovers fans were friendly enough but not many of them seemed to care too much that people had come to their ground.



as for the match, well i may sound bitter but i'm not, we deserved nothing from that game, but i thought rovers got every single decision going for them, at least 2 tries looked dodgy, and some laughable decisions from our friend mr bentham, and some truly terrible playacting by the rovers players.

we just can't seem to do the basics right, our attacking structures were non existant, our handlng was atrocious, our discipline is a worry, i say that because we were absolutely slaughtered by bentham today, i thought child's performance on friday was bad, but he took it to another level today! i believe the penalty count was 13-2

, were rovers really that clean? or did he choose to just penalise one team? i'll let the people who were there decide that.



and has been said already, the fans were pretty good again, just a massive shame we still can't replicate this at home, rovers support was a shadow of its former self, didn't hear a peep out of them until they were 20-12 up!



i'm a tad frustrated tonight!, as despite being 2nd best we were only a score away from winning, but we chose to throw silly passes and didn't bother catching the ones which were good!

that's our away support, a complete different animal to our home support.

^^

totally agree with this!
