Yes they started off well and are closing us down well. Kayne Wilson looking strong as expected. We are a bit scrappy. Ref is already proving himself completely incompetent.

Very good half from Rovers. End to end with both sides having chances, but we have largely restricted the hosts. We have had the best effort of the game, a shot off the woodwork from Hawkes.

Only BBC stats but sounds like an open game. We’ve not scored in our first 4 away games this season and if we don’t today it will be a club record. Hopefully we can nick one

Hawkes hit the post in the first minute.
Reliant on the commentary, which didn’t mention the woodwork though did mention Hawkes having an early shot. Stevens having the best chance of the game for the hosts. The impression generally is the hosts edging an even game on the first half. Look forward to your full-time report as always.

Feeney replacing Hawkes. Wonder if that’s down to the yellow card, he’s been picked up for a few fouls since. Josh sounded like one of our better players so far.

Now Maynard replaces Nevitt, who’s had a quiet afternoon. The average age of the team on the pitch going up with the first two subs. Watson on for Morris as our final change doesn’t alter that.

Commentary such that I hadn’t realised he’d had an earlier yellow.

Poor ref decision that. No need for a second yellow there..

Well a clean sheet at previous free scoring FGR is not to be sniffed at.

Just a shame that we’ve once again not been able to score a goal. 4 goals scored in 9 games, but a good point on the road nonetheless

Good result but real shame that Mcdonald will be banned. Key man in our best formation.

Happy enough with the point, but agree losing Macdonald for our next league game is a blow.
