No Sherlock

Can't seem to get myself up for the game yet. Hopefully this will all change later.

At least the sun's out

Take your dog for a nice walk, that'll get you plenty excited.

I like dogs

Decided not to bother with this game folks, sadly the way we are coached and the team sheet has dictated a carvery followed with sticky toffee pudding and a bottomless jar of custard won by a country mile, the removal of Chester around march\ April will see me lose some weight and renew my spiritual appetite , good luck hardened guys\ gals pass holders etc

Things aren't as bad as you think we're currently sitting in 6th above last seasons treble winners

I've just put every last penny I had in my sky bet account (£2.75) on a rovers victory got 13/8 not a bad price for a home side

Frankie you could get a sticky toffee pudding for £2.75 mate ,good luck kid

Yeah but with the winnings I could probably get a main

Well one point better then none

I'd have snatched your hand off for a draw at 3pm... and 3.30, 4 and 4.30.

If not quite cause for optimism, it at least deserves to stem the deeper pessimism.

Have we just seen the beginning of the JP effect, we'd normally have lost that game.

chester in

decent draw for you guys imo

To be fair I didn't think cas looked all that good well not top four material on the game the draw felt like a win I thought kelly was poor and looked overweight liked Mulhern glad we put safe hands cockayne at full back

think we might know more next week, 2 difficult games for us both imo

We were our own worst enemy,bombing chances with bad handling and bad passing,difficult conditions I know but we have difficulty passing to each other.As mild rover says we would have took a point each time we fell behind,but we deserved at least a point maybe more,despite his rick charlie was probably our mom.Imo.

Harsh?

Gutsy but dumb. Better than I expected though. Great kick from Josh into that wind. Happy to get a point from that.

Charlie was nowhere near mom. Donaldson was mom by a country mile.

I thought donno was good,but he only played a couple of stints,charlie played the full 80,and iam not a big fan of charlie,but he kept going for the full 80,and made decent ground forward and saved a certain try when we were 16-10 down.

You don't get anything out of games by playing like a shambles so it is a pretty harsh description. Who is he anyway?

Disjointed is a better description but that would apply to both sides in attack. Some of that would be down to the conditions and some of it down to rustiness.

Rovers showed some steel which frankly I didn't think they had.

Apart from dropping a kick with no opposition player within 20 metres of him, resulting in a try, and throwing out terrible passes every time he joined in the line, he did just about ok. He wouldn't be in my top 10 today though!

It was like a first preseason friendly, we looked really rusty at times. So to come away with a point after not playing well at all is pleasing. we showed a lot of fighting spirit

Dane Tilse is still garbage too, Mulhern got dominated nearly every time he took it in, Thornley was going for a knock on record, Minns looked solid, Clarkson solid.
