Bristol Rovers v Barrow, match thread

[McMark]

We have come such a long way to get our big chance of league football. It’s not over yet we get behind them right to the dying embers

[JohnnyK]

The next 5 games coming up will be the difference between staying up and relegation....Walsall (H)..Rochdale (A).. Scunthorpe (A)..Carlisle (H)..L.Orient (A)....

[Middleton Nick]

Comes back to recruitment. It has been abysmal. Forwards. We haven't got a decent goal scoring forward.

[blue nige]

Poor recruitment will cost us plus Cooper's tactics!

Need to score goals to win games

[blumooncrab]

Heroic but if you can’t score you’ll never win .

Yep, these next few weeks decide it

Thought we were going to pull off a miracle point there tonight then a strike out of the blue seals it, and of course we hit the post and their keeper pulls off a blinding save late. We need to work on blasting it into the net in training rather than side footing it into the keepers arms

Agree, MC was like, yeah young hungry forwards who want to play, brings in Wakeling and Harris, finds out they aren’t physical enough for this league, gets another forward, who gets banned. Worrying times.

[cuffy]

Well what a [SwearFilter] Homer and a shambles our officials were tonight. How the frig we didn’t score towards the end. All other results not going for us tonight. I can honestly see me searching for my map of non league grounds. I know it will get rammed down my throat by some, but look at the new manager syndrome. Our county cousins are a prime example. We stick with Cooper we go down. Simples.

[32mile_cul-de-sac]

Do Barrow EVER get any luck? Well played Barrow a Stirling effort by all.

Mmmm....I knew I was missing something from my post

[janwilder]

3 wins in 23

Or

1 win in the last 9

Take your pick

The Mark Cooper effect

What a joke

1 place and 1 point above the relegation zone with the 7th (and possibly higher than that) spending budget.

COOPER OUT!!!

I honestly believe that we have a decent squad goal scoring forward apart.
To me it’s Coopers tactics that are costing us dearly. It is time for him to go. We have a crucial 5 games coming up and he can’t even be on the bench! I’m afraid he’s a bit of a dinosaur and incredibly stuck in his ways. Look at Leeds - they have recognised that time is running out and they have bit the Bullet as they have no plan B either.

Yeah these are the games we need to go out and try and win. We should be capable of beating all those teams and if we can’t we’re knackered.

[Jonty]

If we go down it’s not because of this tonight. I’m applauding the effort of the 10 men tonight who couldn’t have given any more. Unlucky Barrow

Keep the faith because that is not the display of a team who have given up.
