Felt we deserved something there. We weren't bad. Rovers are boring and play anti football with giants in defence.

A goal that should never have stood, along side hitting the crossbar twice and a rovers goalkeeper who was MOTM.

Sums up our season.

What I do not understand is the obsession with Tom Carroll who offers nothing

It’s the performance that’s worrying, not really the result. Back to the drab stuff that we were putting out in the awful run.

Another defeat and another dire watch.

Caldwell out.

Unlucky I thought, deserved a point. Taylor desperate to get a win and didn't care what it took.
But Reece Cole MoM? Hospitality having a good time again..

Don't think we deserved to lose but don't think we did enough to win either. No real good performances and a fair few poor ones. it's always concerning how little we create after conceding...

Exactly this, bit baffled at people saying it was a good performance

Couple of 1 on 1s,a few inches the other side of the woodwork and ref bring the Rovers 12th man.Several moments that went against us,but had the feeling that Taylor had the measure of Caldwell once they went ahead, which wasn't good.Match played out how I thought it would.

We are also boring though

The success of the last two aways were based on raising the tempo - today was back to the same old pointless triangles and occasional hoofball.

We weren’t horrific and created two particularly good one one ones that we should have finished so I’m not offended by todays efforts

But f*ck me this is a dry era of football at Exeter

Keeper MOM, Sonny should have scored as should Reece (or popped it across for Sonny). Free kick off the bar. Did enough to get a result there I think. Rovers didn't look better than us, just one of those days
