League Two Pirates v Rovers

[Sparky]

McDonald gets one back. Come on rovers!!

 

[Ian]

Come on lads! Confidence boost hopefully.

 

[bigmart]

A goal wahay

 

[Sparky]

A goal wahay

And in open play too!!

 

[Ian]

Morris unlucky there. Good save by keeper. better play from Rovers. Shame the resulting corner was kicked straight out!

 

[Sparky]

Well being positive we’re still in the game at 2-1. If we can get an equaliser and some momentum then you never know.
Or am I dreaming?

Got to get Maynard on....no threat whatsoever from either Nevitt or Nlatzel

 

[Boz]

We’re doing more in an attacking sense than recently and Macdonald’s goal was well-taken. Defensively weak and the midfield isn’t offering that much protection, which doesn’t give me the confidence that we’ll limit them to two. Referee a bit of a homer and a rash of soft bookings, makes me fear we won’t finish with a full eleven.

It’s possible, but only if we can keep all 11 players in the pitch. Three defenders have been booked.

 

[ADD]

Maynard on for Nevitt.... Finally.

 

[Sparky]

Foley on for Davies. An attacking move but is it too little too late

 

[Sparky]

2-2!! GLATZEL!

 

[bigmart]

2 goals get in,come on rovers

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Well, that almost seems like a win! Full marks to Micky for changing the system to give support to Nevitt and a great fight back from the team. I look forward to seeing reports and highlights.

A point is point...but we were really poor against a really average Bristol side...but hey ho on to Tuesday

But Nevitt was taken off...he was really poor and rightly taken off

 

[Sparky]

Getting a point after being 2-0 down away from home is a positive. Don’t forget Bristol rovers had won their last 3 in all competitions. It stops the rot ahead of a winnable game on Tuesday

 

[Sparky]

Look forward to any reports. Doohan criticised on other sites for not commanding his box as well as he should be doing. Will wait and see the goals

 

[Boz]

I think defensively we looked brittle, don’t pin it all on Doohan, unsure that the 3 at the back was a total success. I also felt that the midfield didn’t protect the defence enough, O’Connor had a quiet game and a definite improvement when Foley came on.

Definitely a point gained. The Glatzel leveller was something Clarke might have scored. The Pirates strikers went off the boil 2nd half hit the post once and didn’t make the most of a few decent chances. Maynard wasn’t sure. Couple of half chances but not light years ahead of Nevitt.

Couple of pints in the Drapers Arms and now headed back to Wales with mate I’m stopping with. Happy with the point given how we started but some interesting decisions for Micky ahead.

No we were not, and neither were Bristol actually.
