    Blackpool in top spot of the playoff teams can't go up automatically and can't drop out of the playoff's, we might have a chance if they don't turn up

    After the Pompey game, JB gave the players a week off. There wasn't much time to properly prepare for the Crewe game and the inevitable happened.
    After the Crewe game JB gave the players another week off. So again, not much time to prepare for the Blackpool game. Im sure there will be another bad result.

    Why are these players getting nearly 2 weeks off when they be having the summer off from Monday? Why are they not in training every day working their asses off? They know they have let the fans down. Why are they not doing their best to give us some pride back? They are under contract being paid a wage so they should be in training to give their all for the club who pay them their wages instead of being rewarded a week off (twice) for playing crap, showing no fight or passion for the shirt and for the fans and getting relegated?

    I will tell you why. Barton has publicly said the dressing room is full of losers and he don't want to be around losers and don't want to be associated with losers. So he has given the players time off because he doesn't want to be around them. What sort of man management skills is that for a manager??? Embarrassing. Waste of money paying wages to players to stay home because Barton can't be assed to work with them. What sort of incentive is that for the fans to pay money to watch on ifollow? Or to pay for a season ticket next season. Or how will the players who will stay with us be thinking?

    Poor manager stealing a living with us.

    Reading the interview on Bristol live its because some of the players are carrying knocks, also reading that 17 year old Jed Ward might start in goal.
    McCormack, kilgour, Upson all doubtful probably Upson's last game for us if he makes it

    The least interesting game in our recent history. Not interested in what that gobshite had to say now - only interested in what his team do on the pitch next season.

    So we have no striker on the pitch! Daly must be thinking what the hell he has to do to start games! Each time he has played, he has ran his socks off. He he is one to go, I will be fuming. If you think im pissed off with Barton now, wait to see what im like if Daly goes.

    I agree CJS I wonder what he has to do to get game time

    The only things of note in todays match seems to be yellow card's for Harries and holmes

    Barton should have played Van Stapperhoef up front - makes as much sense as the rest of his formations!

    Well he would give us some height up front

    Just looked at the stats on I follow and neither side has had a shot on target up to the 32rd minute
    3 - 1 up on yellow cards

    Posh thrashing Donny 4-0 but without JCH.

    Injured or just rested prior to a big money move? With a 20% sell on clause he could end up bankrolling our rebuild in the summer.

    Peterborough chairman has already stated that we will get a six figure sum from them because they were promoted, he also said there was not a need to sell JCH this window. So does he gamble on him getting goals in the championship and putting the fee up or failing and not getting the fee they were hoping for

    4 yellow cards 1 more and I think we get fined by the league

    Sunderland, Lincoln, Charlton and Blackpool the only games in the league without a goal

    59 minutes gone and Westbrooke gets a first mention on live text

    Daly on Tutonda off

    1 - 0 Blackpool please can we get an equaliser or can Blackpool get a second can't have Massive winning again

    Charlton have also scored just Sunderland and Lincoln matches without a goal

    Little, Walker, Mehew, and liddle on replacing Harries, Westbrooke, Hargreaves and Williams

    Luke McCormick has I believe had our first shot on target in the 84th minute

    And it's all over now

    JCH is the league's golden boot winner with 31 league goals.

    Rovers scored a total of 40 league goals all season.

    Rovers failed to score in 23 league games which is of course is exactly half of our league games. We failed to turn up for half the season.
