Major changes and improvements needed at our club. If Pearson doesn’t have the money it will be difficult, so tough times ahead. We need a new coach with new ideas. Nothing against Andy Last but he worked under Radford for a long time, so it’s same old same old. Our second string simply are not big enough, good enough and/or are not being coached well enough. Wire had a weak team out last night but still looked a far better all round side than us. The club can issue all the excuses it wants (all teams are in the same boat at the minute) but most of us can see we are a badly coached team with a lot of average players, including some of our so called star players. I think us, the supporters, deserve better.

During this game Chris Satae claimed that Dec Patton had bit him on the arm, in front of the posts with Wire in possession, Referee waved play on apparently ignoring it and Wire went on to score. Last nights game not sure who but a Leeds player claimed he’d been bitten by a Rovers player, Ref stopped the game brought the 2 players and respective captains together. After everyone involved was shown the apparent bite mark, resumed the game, meaning Rovers we’re allowed to form a disciplined defensive line. Can anyone tell me why 2 referees treat the same offence differently and was Dec Patton disciplined, I notice he’s missing from Wire’s present line up.

This is what disciplinary came up with...

But the ref didn’t stop play plus the touch judge didn’t come onto the field. The ref just seemed to hurry the game on without taking notice
