'If I was Accrington I'd be disappointed with the point ... even with 10 men' - Bristol Rovers fans react

On the one hand, Bristol Rovers remain unbeaten in League One at the Mem; but on the other, they played 41 minutes against 10 men and failed to win.

A thrillingly bizarre, highlight-ridden 90 minutes featuring great goals, red cards, a by Jonson Clarke-Harris and awful defending ended 3-3 but the overwhelming sense among Gasheads - at least those on Twitter - was of disappointment.

Disappointment at not winning, yes, and a failure to control the game but also concerns about the dwindling crowds, with the attendance dropping below 7,000 and Graham Coughlan's management .

Although, to be fair to the Rovers manager he admitted before the match he had gone for an "offensive and expansive" formation to catch Accrington on the back foot and they did score three goals.

Unfortunately the defensive work of previous performances could not be replicated though, as Accrington are now nine-games unbeaten against the Gas, dating back to 2012.

Here is a selection of the fan reaction across Twitter ... the ones we could print, anyway.
