League Two Rovers v Bantams

[bigmart]

A very old bench walker and Merrie still don't get a look in and no striker on bench is odd

 

[Boz]

After a bright start from Rovers, Bradford right back into it and looking the more dangerous.

 

[Boz]

Poor defending and the visitors lead.

 

[bigmart]

Well this season is starting to die a death, of can't turn this around 5 league games without a win is very poor

 

[Ian]

Poor defending and the visitors lead.

That’s an understatement Boz! Atrocious.. how he was able to run into the box, then across the box, switch feet and hammer it home unchallenged is beyond me.

Came into the game last 10 mins. Maynard had it on a plate and failed to score. I think we are missing Spearing in midfield to grab hold of the game but it’s all a bit one dimensional. Need more in the second half.

 

[Boz]

Some suggestion Maynard’s effort had crossed the line. Alex Hay on commentary thought so. We might have had a penalty for handball. Agree about Spearing, Ian. Getting the feeling it’s going to be one of those nights…

 

[Ian]

Perfect response. Great shot Morris!

 

[frenchrover]

Yeees....Morris 1-1

 

[bigmart]

We needed that big time

 

[aldoes mustache]

[Ian]

[Boz]

Is Macdonald injured? Don’t get that substitution otherwise.

Didn't seem to be injured

 

[bigmart]

Important win that

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Phew! They may have shown defensive weakness in their last to games, but they have also shown considerable character. Micky too has shown his tactical strengths and his courage to make bold changes.

Glad my prediction of a 1-1 draw was wrong, but it was right for 6 minutes.

 

[frenchrover]

So, so much better than last Saturday....now let's get 3 more points next Saturday.

 

[Sparky]

A deserved win after a strong second half performance.

First half there wasn’t much between the sides but poor defending allowed the bantams to score first. Second half we got the important equaliser with a cracking Morris shot from the edge of the box. Glatzel then got a poachers goal after Cogleys cross from the right wasn’t cleared. We had a couple of other chances but saw the game out fairly easily with Doohan having an easy second half. Clarke was excellent as ever heading everything away. Glatzel looked sharp and foley and OConnor both had good games in the diamond. Sponsors MOM was Glatzel. A strong looking bench today and there seemed to be an interesting tactical change at 2-1 to go to 3 at the back for a period.

A good atmosphere and a great three points. Same on Saturday please

 

[Sparky]

No striker on the bench was a bit strange although mcmanaman can play there. Nevitt would have held the ball up late on if needed.
Need to forget about Walker - he won’t be featuring.
