Good, apparently we were appalling. We need a permanent manager soon, Stuart gray isn't the type of man we need

Not a great selection of managers to choose from going off the bookies odds.

Coyle or McLeish, look like maybe the only reasonable option. Or Di Canio for excitement.

Dear god I hope not one of them, but thats the problem, its a very poor pool of managers we could attract.

This is how the pitch was as the game got called off

What'll happen then? Start from the hour mark with Wigan leading 1-0? I know it works like that abroad but can't remember it happening here.

As for Coyle and McLeish, Sheff Weds would be better taking a chance on someone who's doing well a league or two below rather than appointing someone who's just gonna be a failure.

Think there was some cup match quite a few years ago (Notts Forest vs. someone) which was abandoned with Forest being 1-0 up and was re-arranged later. They let the keeper score to give Forest the advantage back but I don't know if this is the usual of dealing with situations like that.

We looked into getting the grotesque Steve Evans, he wanted to come, Rotherham weren't interested in letting us speak to him which is fair enough. the main problem with getting someone in who is employed is compo, Milan is a rehyt tight old man at the minute.

The replay of the game will be the full 90 minutes, just like the Charlton Doncaster game which was replayed the other week.

Do you have any preference?

Easier said than done. No one springs to mind. Slade, Ferguson, Parkinson or Pressley maybe? Or the Wallsall manager Dean Smith seems to be doing pretty good. But I don't know anything about him. I doubt Ferguson or Slade would be interested either.

At least I think Coyle or McLeish would probably steady the ship. Their track records aren't that bad.

I'd hate to support a club with Alex McCleish in charge.

He's so boring. In every aspect.

Not really no, the options are pretty poor, if he'd come back to England I'd love to see Roland Nilsson take over, but that might be more to do with him being a bit of legend then on managerial experiance, altho his record in Scandinavia is quite good.

Mandaric is hoping Stuart Gray keeps picking up points so he can appoint him on the cheap, if he doesn't I think it'll be Stuart Pearce taking over.

Went down to Yeovil today ! Was a good atmosphere alot of Rovers fans !! Rhodes scored a great goal ! 1st half we should have had a couple of goals but 2nd half was alot more even with them hitting the post and bar Rhodes settled it though Rochina also tried a Rabona from the edge of the area when he came on which the keeper tipped over !

Credit to you going down there, absolute trek! Our away followings this season have been excellent actually.

Good result too, can always rely on Rhodes. So we've won our last two and the game before that was a draw at QPR, our next games are Sheff Weds + Birmingham at home - 6 more points please! We'd be flying then.

ha ha cheers mate it was a trek ! They have been fantastic and was good yesterday too the attendance was 7,179 with 1,074 rovers away fans!

Rhodes goal was a great finish as you say we can always rely on him to score. Good form recently and 2 nice home games to come could even see us in the play offs

Must've helped soften the result. Did you buy beer in the ground or go to the spoons down the road?

We got there by car and brought our own beers The blunts we smoked before the game didn't help either. We knew this game was going to be shit, so we celebrated ourselves for a bit

Don't contaminate our drinking pool with your northern beers, mind! You lot were probably the highest anyone's been at Home Park, certainly more so than the home team (at least in the table).

Pretty poor game today as drew 0-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday. 1st half was really more Sheffield Wednesday Rhodes had a couple of left foot chances though second half we were better Gestede and Cairney both missed great chances if we want to get play offs we have to be winning these games but really the draw was fair.

Our goalscoring problems are getting a bit ridiculous. In the last two home games we've had 51 shots and scored just once. On the plus side, if we keep creating that many chances we're going to win games, even if lady luck hasn't been with us in the last week or two. Performances have been great, just haven't scored. A point apiece was about fair against Derby - they were much the better side in the first half and, after a penalty save from Alex Smithies, they took a deserved lead, before a rousing second-half comeback from Town saw us miss a bucketload of chances and have a stonewall penalty turned down before Paterson's equaliser.

We need another striker in the transfer window just to give us the cutting edge. We're playing well enough - in fact, I can only think of a very small number of team performances at the level I've seen from Town in the last 3 home games - we just can't kill games off. We should have taken at least 7 from the last 9 home points, and shouldn't be 4 without a win, but we just can't convert chances. We missed Vaughan, although Paterson's goal will do him the world of good.

And a word about Will Hughes. The boy is going to be a superstar. I can't think of the last time I saw such a young player play in such a measured, controlled fashion. Neither have I seen the awareness he has in a youngster - at one point he played a glorious reverse pass to an overlapping teammate without even looking. And England didn't take him to the U21 tournament this summer and opted for a bunch of Premier League youngsters! Unbelievable!

Drew 2-2 with Scunny today after being 2-0 down. They thought they had it in the bag already but then Danny Nardiello made it 2-2 in the 96th minute to break their little hearts hurhurhurhurhur.

Yeah I thought we were really poor today. I like Bowyer, he's a godsend after the last 3 permanent managers we've had (especially Kean), but I found his tactics a bit odd today - Williamson for Gestede was strange. We don't need two defensive midfielders at home to a poor Sheffield Wednesday team (no offence Nicelad, although we just as bad today), and that sub resulted in our best CM, Cairney, being pushed out wide where he isn't anywhere near as effective. Should have just been Rochina for Gestede.

If we beat Birmingham at home on Sunday then we're still in a good run of form, but you're right, we have to be winning games like this if we want to be near the play-offs.

As you say I like Bowyer too ! But we should defo have had Rochina on earlier when Gestede went off.We need to get a deal sorted out for Cairney otherwise he will leave in January on a brighter note Ben Marshall seems to be getting better ! Also Taylor suffered quite a nasty injury hopefully we can beat Birmingham and keep the unbeaten run going.
