0-0 Really disappointing result. Sounds like we threw the kitchen sink at them, but could not score.

Disappointing, not a total disaster. 9 points will do it, and that's very possible. Had the chances just didn't quite have the rub tonight.

Really frustrating... Not the end of the world, could all change on Saturday! C'mon Rovers, we can do this!

The only positive is that we have now qualified for the playoffs. I would have bitten your arm off for that at the start of the season.
Not sure I will be happy with the playoffs now though...

What a change in how we now get disappointed over a draw. You would think we lost by how some are reacting. It was always going to be down to the last day

Win the last 3 and we have a hell of a chance of getting a top 3 finish

Agree KP, 4 wins and a draw in our last 5 games. Now just 3 wins left to complete, 2 home games packed mem, minimum 4th or 5th place for playoffs, or still very realistic automatic. I'd happily go back to Wembley, but would prefer to complete the job in these 3 games. We are on cloud 9 regardless...

Leadbitter had the best chance towards the end of the first half. Not any clear cut chances really after that. Bit too much hoofball. Three points Saturday please chaps.

Congratulations to the team on guaranteeing the play offs tonight.
Anything else is a bonus.
Remember coming out of Barnet at a similar stage thinking we'd blown the play offs with a draw. The rest is history.
The fat lady hasn't even turned up yet, let alone clearing her throat.

If we win on Saturday it could 7 points in a week a fantastic achievement, at the moment we are 1 point off 3rd and 2 points off 2nd, we have two home games left and a very winnable away match against a team almost certainly relegated tonight. Absolutely no need for disappointment.

Surprised at the negativity tbh, all of the teams around us are dropping points, if we win 3 from 3 it's probably going to require 2 of the other 3 to do likewise.

I want to go up automatically as much as anyone, but if this squad is good enough to be playing 3rd tier football next season then it should be good enough to win the playoffs should they be required.

Very dissiapointed tonight. I really rate DC but tonight he really lived up to his 'tinker man' title. Huge mistake starting gosling who was nowhere near first team a couple of weeks back and yet he walks straight back into the team when we have far better options on the bench. I know he played well in the FGR glos cup game but christ he was completely out of his deph tonight. James Clarke is another who should not have walked back in but unfortunately this was due to the formation DC picked. Both were very poor tonight and I honesty believe this was down to the formation/starting line which has cost us badly. I don't know why he didn't play 4-4-2 with two natural wingers as this would of been way more effective agasint a team that were just sitting behind the ball. We never really threatened and were too long ball all game. Very disappointed tonight and I really hope this doesn't cost us a automatic spot but I feel if we can't beat sides like that then we are at best a play off side. As I said I really rate DC and he's done such a fantastic job to restore our club but tonight he made
a big mistake with his selection.

Although a shame it is not a disaster. I guess it is a bit like the feeling after Dover away last year. Let's hope we get the same response. We are definately in the play-offs and if anyone had said that to me at the beginning of March I would have been delighted and would have bitten their arm off for it. I still think it is up to us although, in 5th place, we do need others to drop points but still say it is within us to do it. Win the next match and the mood will change. Exeter at home is now the most important match of the season. Come on Rovers we can still do this.

That's the rub now isn't it. Our destiny is now not in our hands in that we require others to trip up. Looking at Saturday's fixtures it could be argued we have the trickiest one.
It's turning out to be a good season but can't shake the feeling that I will be disappointed now with the playoffs if that is to be our destiny.
That is until the final whistle goes at Wemberlee and we are once again celebrating.......!

Well, I for one am extremely happy to have our playoff spot confirmed, and anything more is an absolute bonus that we surely cannot really expect given our distractions this year, it's a fantastic achievement by a squad of players that has remained relatively unchanged from last year, I am bathed in positivity and
enjoying my new Rovers experience for the first time, in a long time!. I also think that our point at Stevenage was hard earned, they were deffo out to spoil the party atmosphere, but it has not dampened mine, on to the next game and upward!....

There was no urgency in this one, and the hit and hope balls fell nicely into the opposition CB's hands (or head in this case)
I was always worried about our remaining away games given the few i'd seen before last night included Accrington, Barnet, Portsmouth and Wycombe.
Gosling I've never rated, if I was a kitman i'd love 11 of him in the side, no dirty kits to wash. I'd also leave Ollie Clarke out now and keep Mansell in and get back to 4-4-2. Midfield was anonymous last night as the ball bypassed them for much of it, Stevenage didn't have any finishers of note otherwise it could have been worse. Harrison also bloody awful when he came on. The team just stank of lethargy and lack of ideas to me.
Anyway, 9 points are still up for grabs so all to play for, but if we play like that just getting 6 will be a tall order.

I thought Harrison did well when he came on. Agree with everything else 100%.
