@nwarddrfc: Typical rovers beat the top teams but look absolutely shocking against the teams lower in the league play like that Vs Plymouth and we will lose again

@nigelwalkden: I think rovers thought all they had to do was turn up

@mattarnold13: Compared to the Ipswich game where we were very organised and calm on the ball, today seemed the total opposite. Very scrappy in parts panicked in possession a lot of loose passes. Not clinical in front of goal. On to the next

@pgjackson1: Frustrating should have took a point, Crewe did well to stop us playing I thought

@RossDryden: Frustrating at the end when composure went. Crewe came in and played very well, first half especially. Dominated second half. Chances missed cost us.

@Orrie2014: losing games like this that will stop us getting in the top 6. Should have had copps & his creativity on from start, DM talks about rotation but will Anderson & Wright be given a break? I'd have been happy with a draw today think DM got selection wrong but spot on last 2 games

@huwclaydon: Not many clear cut chances created and not much going forward anyway. Unlucky to lose the game though

@LumleyStephen: Frustrating - decent performance, but paid the price for not taking our chances. Disappointed as to how rattled we looked after conceding the 2nd; allowed Crewe to see it out.

@Swindyswindy: In a word 'Ok'. We looked off the pace. A lot of people going to berate the ref and opposition tactics but we need to look and ourselves. Some good chances spurned but made those chances nonetheless. Early doors yet, roll on Plymouth.

@NatalieHinchcl3: Thought we deserved something from that game, we had chances and today was just not our day, gutted obviously as want to win every game but we move onto Plymouth tuesday.RTID

@DavidWarnes2: Scrappy, didn’t take our chances in 2nd half, looked like a penalty at the end, gutted with result but 6 points out of 9 in a week is not too bad of a return
