If I could get in free, I'd be up for a bit of grief tourism with today's game.

Worth watching just to hear how the commentator pronounces it.

The right back...Alebiosou (sp) looked decent enough, and Cuntwell is useful when he can be arsed.....the rest is Leagues 1/2 fodder.

No way Sheffield United will go down with Wilder back. So that makes Rovers' job even more difficult.

When you see Burrows on the bench it seems things are well wrong (unless he's not fully fit).

Inept, gormless football from both sides.

Again Cantwell in a different class to the othe 21 players on the pitch.

They really are v poor. A point at home, and losing away means they’re bottom 3 probably.

Look at their upcoming fixtures which I've posted somewhere.

They are either playing 6 pointers or against the best sides in the division.

Certainly some games to watch on TV over winter.

The problem they have, and have had for a few seasons is their starting 11 isn't too bad, hence the promoted by November the last 3 seasons, but once injuries and suspensions kick in they don't have any quality at all.

Looking at their squad this season, they've even less so it could be a very long hard winter for them...
