We were well in control when Moa saw red. I think we would have posted close to 40 points. A work in progress so lots of improvement.

If Rovers did ever move to the KC, it's games like that that I wish they'd make double headers just to get a bit of atmosphere!

To be honest if I wasnt a season ticket holder or able to do a ticket swap then I would never consider to going to see the london/quins whatever they are this season side. History has shown that they come here to slow down and spoil the game and tonight was no exeception. What it was like on sky I dont know because I havent watched it yet (apart from the appalling Moa decision). I can imagine it made poor viewing and even if it wasnt on sky we would have struggled to get above 11000 in my opinion (oh and the taxi that brought the london supporters).

Rovers only getting 7,600 inc away support !
They will never average 10,000 and won't get a North/South or ANY hand Stand !

Times are hard - end of story

Are you working on your next excuse not to go to games?

Giver over!

We played well against Wire and [unever gave up[/u to get the draw (some-thing I have failed to see for several years!!)

Yesterday we were in control upto the Moa incident, the game was a bit boring due to imo the ref, who stopped the flow of the game and was basically pants..

Overall I am happy with what I am seeing, you play what is in front of you and that is what we have done to date. Gentle promised that we will improve week in week out and that will do for me, it we keep up his ethics we will not be too far off

I think there are plenty of positive signs. We look far more organised than we have since 2007. We have dummy runners and the half backs are finding room and taking the line on. Main issue at the minute is that we're just not quite clicking but this will come with the players working together more. Don't think we have the quality of players to really challenge this season but I do think we will comfortably be in the 8.

We're a work in progress but the signs are positive for me.

Disappointing crowd today,as usual london brought 1 supporter who was highlighted on tv,but iam sure that the crowds will improve when the weather improves.As shaun mcrae says fans will be flocking back to see this attacking brand of rugby.!

I'd like to think we could be at least pushing towards top 4, even if we fall short. Of course, that's going to rely on us keeping key players fit for most of the season. Which is already looking a bit shaky.

Spot on.

Can't agree with any of that at all. Thought for our first game against a very strong side (with few changes from last seasons league toppers) we did more than enough to show signs of much improvement. Yes mistakes were made but that is to be expected with the amount of changes made throughout the closed season. We never capitulated which we would have done previously but dug in got the game back, unlucky not to have won.

The game last night was typical of a game against London who always come and slow the play down at every opportunity. We were in full control up until the red card.

We are also still rotating 3 props which went down to 2 during last nights game with Lynch eventually playing 70mins.

We are a much more organised team in attack and defence and seem to actually have some tactics and plans, hell we even look like we know what we are doing inside the oppositions 20 which is unbelieveable after the last few years.

All Gentle needs with the players is time to hone the things he has put into place. Once they have got the timing and understanding upto speed etc I think we will be a difficult side to contend with. Miracles aint going to happen overnight but as long we improve each week thats good enough for me.

Still work to do but nothing other than positives for me, onwards and upwards.

Good call Jake. Things are improving but it's going to take time on and off the pitch.

We should have offered Saints fans tickets for a fiver, they could have come to see a proper clock working

I agree the game lasts 80 minutes not 20 mins or 1 half or 5 min spells a good side would have beat us and sending offs and sin bins happen in most games and we have to deal with that,saying that London will put a few points on teams throughout the season thats for sure
Most people still are waiting for improved performances before shelling out 20 odd quid and that dross last night on sky will not have them rushing back,mind you the inside ball happened a bit quicker but still boring and clueless

Agree 100% with this. Defence is looking good, there are options going forward. Once it starts clicking, as you say, we should be much better, but I'm unsure how far this will take us this year.

No need to switch the Derby now IMO, Rovers first home game of the season with 7610 there and Saints must have brought 400 to 500. So there would be more than enough room for the Derby there. Hull look defensively good and would have cruised to a victory had it not been for the sending off, 5th or 6th is our aim at the moment any higher and it will have been a very positive season.

Another £50k lost by Rovers

Good post, exactly what I've said after the game.

After 2 games and a week off in between .What was you expecting .A week off 8 or 9 games into the season
to let players get over knock is ok but after 2 games I would wait till after 6 or 7 game to make statements to were a team could finish

We will have to learn the words to Leeds United song

Wait until we have a game in better weather before judging. No side is going to start throwing out 'Hollywood' passes in freezing conditions, keeping the ball and completing sets becomes more of a priority.

also to add that in both games so far we have been in a leading position towards the end of the game, so haven't had to resort to risky attacking moves in a last gasp attempt to win.

I agree that last nights game will hardly get the crowds flocking back, but it was a good 2 points that we would have probably have lost over the last few seasons.

No thanks

I would love to stick that drum up that guys ass.

Why have you suddenly latched on to us? We have enough trolls as it is thanks bud.

I`m presuming by his username he is a Wednesday fan.
His trolling is below standard though.

I never thought I'd see the day I offered Phlegm up as a role model in trolling.
