[Ian]

Davies, Buxton, McNulty, Sutton, Ridehalgh, Jennings, Norburn, Hughes, Duggan, Alabi, Norwood

 

[Ian]

Subs: Pilling, Gumbs, Clarke, Waring, Mangan

 

[Ian]

Not that it’s any great surprise but we’ll struggle for width, lots of huffing and puffing and get beat 1-0 whilst having the majority of possession. Can’t see where the goals are going to come from.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

I like this side. Let's hope I still do in two hours' time. Even the bench looks balanced.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

It'll be solid at the back, using the pace of the front three to counterattack. ????

 

[Sparky]

Hughes back in which is disappointing in my view altho Harris injured.

Back to 5-3-2 I am guessing with Mitch at right wing back.

As suggested, just can't see where goals will come from. Would be nice if Connor Jennings contributed

 

[Boz]

Hmm. Think I'd have started with Gumbs as part of a back three. Bench more balanced than of late, but no midfield options.

It's 4312 with CJ in the hole. Both defences on top, but they are winning too many 50-50 balls in midfield. However, the ref is giving them everything and we are not always getting free kicks. Alabi is taking a lot of stick in the area.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Buxton just booked for blocking their winger. The Norwood penalised dubiously for winning a 50-50 when clean through.

 

[Sparky]

BBTC - you mean Alabi is getting stick from the SWA?

 

[Boz]

Buxton just booked for blocking their winger. The Norwood penalised dubiously for winning a 50-50 when clean through.

Wirral Radio suggested an appalling decision, their player had run into Buxton with his back turned?

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Rovers getting great support. Even MM being cheered. Buxton would have been lucky not to be booked.

Norwood fouled and linesman saw it. Free kick unfortunately found Hughes' head not Alabi, who is getting zero protection from the officials.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

We have dominated and played some decent stuff in a 442 diamond. We have to score the first goal. Officials are atrocious.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Disagree about Buxton. It was a ridiculous booking.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Norwood, Jennings and aabi all doing OK. Duggan impressive in midfield but we miss Harris.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Even first half but Rovers have had a couple more shots. We are outnumbered in midfield so losing too many second balls. Strategy seems to be based on long balls, avoiding midfield.

 

[Ian]

Well it all sounds a bit more positive. Praying for that goal!!

 

[Boz]

Sounding encouraging aside from the refereeing.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Wakeup call. Their number 10 beat three in the area but Davies made a great save.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Mekki, who had been ineffective, has been subbed.
