Shit. One shot on target says it all
If you listen to player at away games, the 400 to 1500 Rovers fans always outshout the opposition fans, when we are at home there are too many who (a) Make no noise at all or (b) shout nothing but rubbish, get him off etc. If you were in the team where would you prefer to play. This is also after the fair weather supporters who went in the Championship and to every Wembley game, have packed up and left.there are plenty that went pre conference,conference and up through the leagues too that have packed up and left, so i wouldn't say fair weather supporters for all .
The performance that some folk were after was there, we passed the ball around and controlled the game better than I've seen this season. However we created nothing and it was frustrating to watch. They created nothing either though, it was a thoroughly dull game.Both keepers each had one shot to save, ours let a really soft shot in, that was the difference. I was encouraged by the passing, just disappointed again with the lack of end product at home.

Sounds daft but i think thats the best we have played this season at home apart from not creating any chances which we of course need to,Clingan and Hume wanted the ball but had nothing once the ball was in their third of the pitch.Paynter and BRrown did well when coming deep to get it but there then was only Husband who managed to get behind their back line and when ever the two did come deep there was no one in the middle

And the longer we spend in the division, the more our attendances will fall. We have done nothing to winback the supporters we are losing, and as the last poster mentioned, I know many who have stuck with us through thick and thin have packed up and left, mainly due to last season, and because of how unjoyable home games are.
For the first time ever in ten years I have not listened to or attended a Rovers game. I was talking this morning saying that we were going to lose as we were playing a footballing side, and it seems to be right. Without a decent holding midfield player in the mould of Stock/Wellens we are unable to control play sufficiently to keep an opposition out of the game. We are still lacking that sort of player, or a manager who is able to get people to play that way in my opinion

We passed it very well and put some neat moves together, but just lacked that final ball and cutting edge in the final third. We passed it better than them at times, and our central midfield two of Harper and Clingan were arguably the best players on the field.
Moan when we win ugly, moan when we lose playing well. Is it just a case of some people will never be satisfied?

This goes further to support what i'm saying.
