Toothless again it would appear. Our only goal is a gift from their keeper and we can’t score a penalty

221 of the SWA present. We’ll take a lot more to Rochdale on Tuesday who are almost already relegated. I was thinking of going to Dale but May as well just throw money away

This has to be the poorest rovers team in years apart from the relagated team I know in some ways and they have done an Amazing job it's time mark and Nicolas sold up and retired into the sunset

none of this form or performances are going to help with season tickets at all

Would be interested in any reports. Sounds like turnbull had a mare. Wonder if any truth in him wanting to leave. Suspect even though not a lot of SWA the reaction at full time wasn’t pleasant?

It was the same old same Sparky. Defense looked a little wobbly, I don't think confidence is great right now, midfield couldnt control the game and there was no bite up front. It's almost like the players disappeared after we scored. There was no urgency from any of them. I know there's nothing to play for but a bit of pride wouldn't go amiss. Second half was a non event really. So in hindsight, the travelling supporters could have gone home after 8 minutes as that was pretty much it from Rovers.

I think we will lose a fair few season ticket holders next season unless something posative happens soon

Along with Doncaster, todays results mean we’re the first teams in L2 to be confirmed next season. Can neither get promoted or relegated.

Dawes: " We deserved something out of the game". Nonsense. We did nothing for 82 minutes. Crawley, 3rd from bottom had nearly twice as many goal attempts than we did, more shots on target and we were lucky to only concede 2.

Dawes: "Their league position is false." - not after 42 games it's not.

Not sure why we always have to dress up these performances, it doesn't help anyone.

We need a manager with a bit of grit, not afraid to go in if they need it, no shrinking violets!

Another manager talking rubbish, I do hope he leaves when we bring a new manager in.

in a post match interview , no interim manager of any club is not going to give you anything but spin. Even the questions don't address the underlying issues beneath the performance of the team!
I would be surprised if he isn't toeing the official club line!

And yeah, I agree he is not what is needed!
But I think he knows he won't be in charge, but still trying to keep his job.

At one stage in my forties, with my son's and friends, we went everywhere more or less to every league game, and most of the cup games.
have to pick and choose my away days now!
not many grounds, I have not been to!
But, the quality and skill levels have never been this had since the sixties, seventies (ish) but at least they had a lot more tight in them!n
And yes, been to Crawley! (Sad, ain't it!)
Very disappoin
