Great performance today from team,and Mbayo and Marr seem a sound pairing -albeit just as season is drawing to a conclusion. If we fight like that from now on, we have a chance of survival.Knew ref would award us something after howler in first half.Fingers crossed we work as a unit like today,for rest of the season.

That’s Trouten onto 26 for the season, with 18 in the league Anyone know who the last rovers player to score 30 in a season? Yeah it was Bernie Slaven - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Slaven who was a brilliant player for Rovers. If Trouten keeps scoring the way he has been he will beat his record which will be a phenomal achievement! |

A real battling performance today: well done Rovers. Centre-half was superb; but whole team got stuck in. Keep it going boys: survival is in our hands. Trouten is sensational.

He was superb today: very encouraging indeed for the whole team. Massive effort to stay up, but we can do it.

Firstly that was a really entertaining game today, went home having thoroughly enjoyed it. Have to echo previous comments, Mbayo was superb, competed for everything and won most, a real presence we've been lacking all season. If he can give us more games like that we have a chance of picking up a few wins. This keeper makes me feel more confident also.
More of the same please.

An entertaining game and a great point in the end. We definitely deserved at least a point with our level of performance.
Agree, Alan Trouten is amazing and slotted the penalty away confidently to earn us a vital point.
Pity Forfar thrashed Stranraer to drop us into the bottom two.
Only a point from safety though with 2 home games in hand.

Just saw the highlights on YouTube- great point that stops the rot. Games against Raith and Ayr don’t really matter to a certain extent. It’s the games against QP, Forfar and East Fife that will decide our fate. Normally 12 wins is enough for safety and that seems quite a bit a away yet- sometimes 10 wins has been enough for s team to stay in L1 but I’m not sure for this year.
Raith’s first goal had a touch of the ‘same old, same old’ about it , yet another free header. Good hear good reports about Harlain.
Next week EF away - pretty crucial game I would say and we have a particular demon to bury there. The team haven’t really recovered from the 5-4 calamity from earlier in the season.

Cannot believe that my spooky prediction came true ! Did not win the £18 million on the lottery last night - the club would have got £5 million of that ! The whole team played exceptionally well and really to a man stuck in to their illustrious opponents- If we can exorcise the demons of Bayview next week and come away with a victory we could start to propel upwards ( Queens Park host Forfar - so can capitalise on this ) Mbayo is my type of defender - calm but commanding - we can built on this !

Ok guys, after having watched the highlights I'm prepared to apologise to the ref, as just like almost everyone in the ground I was sure that the Raith 'keeper touched the ball over his bar and was then awarded a goal-kick. It seems that he didn't touch the ball. On the other had our penalty............... ehm.............. well I'll say no more as my original thoughts on it are unchanged.

I'm sure you're being ironic, but I can absolutely assure everyone that he did indeed touch the ball over. My source is very accurate!

I think the reaction of the players says it all - he didn't touch it.
