Have a read, see whether you agree or disagree with Stephen and then add your own thoughts in the comments section down below.

Verdict: A rollercoaster with inconsistency a frustrating norm. Goals have been harder to come by in League One, though the cups have proved more fruitful, with the highlight being the team holding its own in a 1-0 League Cup loss at Arsenal. Rovers need to be more resolute defensively, find greater strength physically and mentally and find a greater cutting edge up front if they are to avoid a relegation scrap.

Where has this season gone right/wrong: A lack of concentration at key moments late in games to cost us points.

Best moment of season: FA Cup run. A 6-2 win over Ebbsfleet and a 3-0 win over Scunthorpe.

Lowest moment of season: The heart-breaking last-minute equaliser by Rotherham.

Best and worst opposition teams: Shrewsbury were the best, Gillingham the worst.

What needs to be done in transfer window: Add physicality to the spine of the team, including a new striker to partner John Marquis.

Predicted finish: 18th.
