I'm not as pessimistic as Donaldo. Harrogate was a poor performance but we were better, even with 10 men ,against MK Dons. I think GM used the Manu game like a preseason game. I agree he doesn't seem to have a settled team preference. We really need to control midfield more and cut out potential crosses. Individual players seem to have variable form from on match to the next. However I think it might all gel for this local derby. Chesterfield haven't scored many goals away from home. So I'm going 2-0 Molyneux,Sharp.
It is getting even more difficult to understand this team - or is it just the manager?
When 3-1 up against Man U they seemed to go into reverse, and so no wonder what happened.
I'll stay optimistic for tomorrow and say 2-1 to the Rovers with Molyneux scoring. If I get up in time and there is a crazy starting eleven, I may change this.
Of course, if it is a disaster, I will always be able switch to a Premier League game. The Peacock service which covers many EPL games costs me $7.99/month - much cheaper than the Rovers service!
Very difficult one to call and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up as a draw. However, I'll be optimistic and predict 2-1 to Rovers with Ironside getting the first (Sharp if Ironside doesn't start).
Local derby could go either way 🤔
Rovers to start winning again.
Rovers 2-1 Chesterfield
Ironside to score âš½
Dropping Kelly seems a bit harsh, but he did have a poor game on Tuesday. I think I’d prefer to see Yeboah given a start instead of Sbarra, but Sbarra does seem keen to get on the ball and is a better than Hurst in his current form. Let’ s hope Close is in adventurous mood.
I approve of Ironside’s starting and it is now up to him to show his worth in giving the Chesterfield defenders something to worry about.
Poor team selection, poor discipline - can’t blame it on the ref.
I agree with Donaldo's comment on team choice and discipline, but the ref was terrible for both sides. The refereeing standard in League Two this season is even worse than last season - and has not improved even in the Premier League. Maybe I just can't get used to this "no contact" approach to the game.
I stopped watching during the first half as the Rovers and the ref were so poor, and switched to Chelsea's game. I never was a fan of Chelsea, but this season their attacking style of play is a joy to watch - they just have to tighten their porous defence, and take more of the chances they create. Jackson could easily have had a second half hat trick!
