Watched via net. As has been written, lost it by pushing our poor defence up the field. I did not expect this of sun tzu Barton. Sometimes I think he just gets a rush of blood and no one seems to have the nads to try to convince him otherwise. 6 points thrown away. Think the play off peeps will be seeing us as we really are, in the not too distant future. Blaming Belshaw ? He should not have been left in those positions in the first place. Very ungracious to turn on the guy who has been a revelation for us. We are bang average in league 1. Luckily there are worse teams . Ungracious feels a bit harsh. I'm just stating my interpretation of what I saw. He's hasn't been as solid as last year and had a shocker yesterday. Still a decent keeper and jolly decent fellow by all accounts. My apologies as I was talking in general and not at you. We both know the majority do not use any forum. Just feel really quite sick that a GK who has been getting plaudits and MOTM, can be turned on and with such venom. I don’t know about you or your private thoughts so , again, my apologies if taken personally. I wrote after reading a load of abusive posts and sometimes it gets the better of me. Wishing you and all Rovers a very happy new year. Feel bad now |

Arsenal Tv demonstrates how a platform with viewers simply attracts opinions seeking to provoke to get attention. Same with the Belly comments post- Exeter. He’s been supper. Since day 1 - brilliant player, love watching him. |

Well said KP. Sadly seems to be the modern way. Someone has to be blamed and let's crucify that person while we're at it. Read lots of the comments, on Twitter and Instagram and admit to being stunned. Hero to zero and Barton already talking of replacing. Just find the whole thing horrific. Nothing more to add. Devastated of Kingswood The players know JB's ways, a lot of them don't even listen to, or read his interviews. He sometime appears to throw them under the bus, but then administers First Aid, and they're back in the fold - probably a bit tougher and wiser. I hope Belly is between the sticks tomorrow, I'm sure that the vast majority of fans who are at the ground will be very vocal in their support of him. |

Whatever, my first game for a month or two and it was a great game and a great advert for League 1 football. I thought it was played with a good spirit, lots of ups and downs and we just missed out which was disappointing. But two days after I think there were lots of pluses… good attacking play and once the changes were made in the second half we were the better team. But the defence which we know can be much better were poor but they are professional players and I expect them to improve after JB has got to them. Great entertainment and even the ref was half decent and I don’t say that too often. My only criticism of him was he should have come down hard on the time wasting at the beginning which would have made it a better match, and some of the throw always and kick aways from both sides should have resulted in a booking or two. But he didn’t and he was at least consistent in that. Well done both teams for the entertainment and the desire to go for goals and attack. UTG! Agree totally - except for two things. The spirit shown by Exeter manager Gary Caldwell was hardly good, especially after the final whistle towards Rovers fans. Since when was All-in wrestling part of Association Football? The referee could not possibly have missed it. Otherwise a great game. Didn’t see it bloo. But doesn’t sound good. Had a 2/3 hour drive so I do try and get away quickly and was at the Thatchers end of the East Terrace for a quick getaway when the whistle blew. UTG! |
