Quality miming of the referee. These things balance out over a season though & I expect this will be the same this season No they don't. That is one of the biggest myths in football. Arguably the worst refereeing display I have ever witnessed. An absolute disgrace. It is hard to stomach getting beat like that.

Utterly, utterly robbed. Very good performance though, I think the experience will stand they team in good stead. Need an ugly bloke to bring on in games like these though

With a competent ref we would have had Puddy sent off in the playoff final, after complaining about s**t refs all last season it felt due though. Seasons long enough that there are days a s**t ref will save us a win/draw and days like today it will cost us.

Not sure we were robbed of anything as we simply failed to create one goal scoring chance against an average, at best, Oxford side. The pen, if given/scored would really have been a bonus not a justified goal.
If we don't improve upfront soon it's going to be another long season. Apart from past reputation I'm mystified what fans see in Easter, he hasn't got a decent shot in his locker and he doesn't seem interested in running at defenders. Bodin achieve more in 15 mins than he did the whole match.

He was asked to drop deep, hold the ball up and bring others into play, which he did excellently in the 2nd half. Our only meaningful effort on target was an Easter volley which was well saved. Easter is an intelligent footballer

i think critics of today are not taking into account the long period of time we played a man short,,the team adapted very well but it clearly restricted our attacking options,,,taylor worked very hard and easter slotted virtually into midfield and showed good ability,,,i thought ellis was poor and so was montano but i still think we would have won had ollie clarke not been sent off by a ref having a nightmare

Im no expert but we've a very young set-up, I'm positive DC will get it right in the end but a lack of experience is hurting us at home against decent opo.

I agree with everything expressed so far however I think we also have a striker problem. They are simply not scoring enough goals and that is either down to confidence or ability.

A journeyman striker, who`s happy just to be picking up one last wage packet. A bad bit of business.

He's made to play behind Taylor, who, yet again, was worse than a waste of a shirt yesterday. Not only did he create nothing, his constant diving and falling over doesn't fool anyone.

Taylor puts more commitment and skill into ninety seconds of a game, than Easter does over ninety minutes.

Bodin achieve more in 15 mins than he did the whole match. You mean apart from the 14 shots? I guess you were looking the other way when their keeper pulled off a wonder save from our free kick, or the bullet header from Parkes that if it had been anywhere else but straight at the keeper, would have burst the net? And the fact that we dominated possession, even when we had one fewer player, and that oxford goal was one of about half a dozen occasions when they actually managed to get out of their half in the second half of the game?
That game was the dictionary definition of robbed.

I think Taylor and Easter are actually very similar, and that's why they're not so effective as a partnership. His hands were tied a bit though as Ellis had played 60 minutes for Wales U21s on Friday I believe?

Tthey looked average because Rovers made them look average.

i dont understand the stick easter and taylor are getting? taylor had to play on his own upfront but made endless runs and kept there defenders busy while easter slotted into the midfield and used the ball very well,when it was 10-a-side taylor was exhausted and replaced by harrison who struggled on the day.

Matty Taylor is the main reason we are having to play a clearly not match fit Jermaine Easter

A couple of things. 1. I thought we had sorted out there, their and they're last week. 2. Taylor runs around as lot, but there is zero end product. He won't even get away with his weak side-foot penalties to the bottom right corner against L2 keepers. The object of the exercise is to score goals, Taylor's conversion rate in the 5th tier was very poor, now, exactly as predicted, he's getting fewer chances against League defences. The sooner we ship him off to Kidderminster or back to FGR and replace him the better for him and us.

I was no pro footballer but up to around 40 yrs old, I trained and was fit. If Easter is as good as some say then either DC is not playing to his strengths or ? I feel we would do well with Taylor sat behind the strikers, in the hole as they say. I am finding all the could've, would've , should've stuff a bit much. We lost, get on with it. Shocked to hear Drury is gone. That has to be a club record ?
