Match day thread (Bristol rovers @ Home)

[Beyton Green]

Is there a game on?

 

[Cobi Budge]

Not a lot in it, though I'd say we've probably had the better of things. Both sides have been a little sloppy in the final third.

Riley suits the wing back role and has been our best player.

That should have been one up to Gas. How did Macey save that from Nichols!!!!!

 

[Welwyn Pilgrim]

Amazing Macey save...stunning

 

[Cobi Budge]

Superb save from Macey to keep it level.

 

[Justin]

Rovers haven’t offered much of a threat so far, although a world-class save from Matt keeps us level after we’re asleep at the far post.

Our midfield is underperforming. We’re not winning the second phase balls enough and the there’s a lack of intelligence in the balls forward.

With a few tweaks, and some intensity, we can turn the screw and win this.

Agree with this.

We look a bit slow and indecisive in the middle.

There for either team, hopefully us.

Agreed with your point re. the midfield although Ness has got some joy making runs down the left channel. Generally, the three of them need to show a bit more quality on the ball.

Both wing backs have been fine, Edwards has been outstanding, Songo'o mostly good until he inexplicably left the ball across goal to give Rovers their big chance at the end of the half.

Freddie has been ok. And Macey... some people must have a hell of a lot of egg on their faces right now. He looked shot of confidence towards the end of his first spell in the team, but proved earlier in the season that he is a decent keeper. So pleased for him after the abuse he got from our own fans.

ON OUR WAY ON OUR WAY

 

[Cobi Budge]

We've come out firing at the start of this half.

Lovely finish from Rubén despite a tight angle.

 

[Wexford Green]

That’s a relief. Let’s close it out now. I think that puts us currently 6 points clear of the drop

 

[Cobi Budge]

Riley injured, Oscar on.

Gutting for Riley who has been out best player today in my opinion.
