6 changes but Pett is still in...
At least Taylor is on the bench. We have a chance of a late goal.

There's a surprise. 10 mins and we gift them a goal because they're playing their fastest player up against Davies and we are too thick to realise

Another weak attempt at a long throw costs us a goal. Better off taking a normal throw and keeping possession.

Why have we gone with another weird unknown formation after Tuesdays disaster. Surely you keep it simple. This one is on Darrell I'm afraid

We look exactly how you'd expect a relegated side to look. Frantic, desperate, zero composure.

Kinsella nips in and wins the ball. Rovers player kicks Kinsella. Free kick to Rovers. Another complete bellend in charge then

Flogging Kinsella, Pett and Davies tuesday/saturday/tuesday/Saturday when they're not performing......so frustrating

Does Bonds play with studs? He must slip over more than the rest of the team combined

We’re just clueless. It’s not as if we’re playing one of the best sides in the league. We’re just not good enough.

This is the best we can produce while Vale and Burton are showing some fight and winning their games. Sad to see this group of players completely bottle it under pressure. Everyone and their dead Nan could see Smith wasn't good enough from day 1 and yet still he plays regularly. Add to that going away from the tried and tested formation not once but TWICE when it was such a disaster first time.

George Lloyd why don't you just head it not directly at the f#!$ keeper

The goalkeeper seems to actually be injured for once, the defence is an absolute mess, the midfield is virtually non-existant and the strikers haven't had a touch around the opposition penalty box, and both of our relegation rivals are winning. Other than that, it's fine.

Don't worry, the board are sitting in their seats looking at the extra couple of £ they have got today

Really good chance for Lloyd right at the end of the first half but where does it go, straight into the keepers gloves.

I know everything seems worse when you're doing s#!t. But at half time, where's the music? Jim Haggin didn't even commentate on the crossbar challenge, just quickly read out the names half way through. Everything seems so f#!$ amateur right now in every department.

Gas fans throwing stuff at Southwood. And the stewards will do absolutely f#!$ all about it

I'm not usually a fan of booing, but I hope every fan in that ground stays to give them the send off they deserve. Zero effort, they don't look remotely like they give a s#!t

Bye bye League One. It’s been nice knowing you!

That’s it now, we are down for sure
I don’t think it’s that the players don’t care, it’s that they resigned themselves to relegation several games ago. The club is broken now and no miracle is going to happen.

Darryl Clarke and his men are waving the white flag. They’ve given up and so have we!

Elkan Baggott appears to have become a decent defender. Or...are we just that bad...

Full clear out in summer. Apart from Thomas I'm not interested in seeing any of these wear the shirt again.

This is Darryl Clarke’s abject team. He hasn’t convinced me he is the right man to get us back on track in League Two. Does Steve Cotterill want to be a non league manager? Maybe he could be persuaded to return?

No. He’s done in football now

No way I'd be thinking about letting Clarke go. Last 2 games he's got wrong yes, but maybe we're simply a poor side and it's only DC's miracle work that's put us anywhere near safety.

Us and Vale then. At least our players didn't make us think we were going to win today by going 2-0 up.

Not sure. He had a team that was doing pretty well, but they've turned to utter s#!t and he can't seem to sort them out.
