This has been absolutely god awful. So many individually poor performances and decisions.

We don’t deserve anything out of this game. Let’s be honest. We’ve never had control second half. Lost out all over the pitch. They could have scored 5 or 6 this half alone.

We've never had control of that midfield.

Collins has been a spectator throughout. So many underperforming.

At least there’s been some comedy value to our ineptitude tonight.

Get possession, and then not crossing it in.

Put it in the danger area, or have a shot.

Their keeper is awful and yet we've not tested him nowhere near enough.

Can't say a one of them have performed well tonight.

Even the subs have done nothing.

Certainly this game raises huge question marks. Rovers are good going forwards but we’ve not coped with their press or them committing numbers forwards - with a lot of similar aways to come we will have to be able to defend against these sorts of sides far better.

They’ve had 11 second half shots compared to their penalty in first half and nothing else
Bristol Rovers are saving hopes of no relegation this year.

Got what we deserved out of a chaotic, uncontrolled 2nd half performance.

Can't say if we have that in the locker we're going up. Was coming but didn't expect that.

One too many rotation. Stockport will be rubbing their hands together after that. Pathetic to a man.

Not good enough.

Job now for Schumacher is to pick his players up for a six-pointer derby against a side who've rested midweek and beat us 5-0 last time out. Cos if we don't win, and new-gaffer Huddersfield beat Crawley at home, we're back out of the playoffs again for the international break.

We just didn't turn up in that second half. Bristol Rovers clearly wanted it more and got it.

So poor from our point of view.

Feel like we didnt match them for effort levels and definitely looked like mental fatigue.

Not enough, IMO. We looked tired, what with playing the same midfield trio again.

Only made two changes. There was some tiredness. But worry for me is how easy it was to get behind us. Can’t be like that because we’ve a number of away games where teams will love to play like that against us.

Southwood for me is rapidly becoming quite a big problem. Dodgy and never comes to collect a cross.

Yep, I agree with DSB on this one. Too many asked to go to the well again.

I suppose that's the reality check that we all needed to wipe getting carried away with an automatic promotion charge.

I'm sure Schuey will come good, but its too soon for anything too crazy.

It felt like the game was crying out for someone to come on for us and slow the game down and give us control. Instead we had Tutu and CMG who are more the sort to take advantage of an open chaotic game but it didn’t work.
