EFL Trophy Rovers v Posh Pizza Cup

[Rockford's Love Child]

Peterborough have named a stronger bench than us, including Szmodics and Clarke Harris.

 

[Boz]

I’m surprised it’s such a weak side too. Got the feel of a traditional Peterborough hammering now.

 

[Ian]

I'm glad he's rested most. They needed it. Have a bit of faith @Boz , we might put on a good show!

 

[aldoes mustache]

Agree

 

[Sparky]

Really surprised CBT and Ferrier don’t feature. Maybe they are isolating and we’ve not been told but this would have been almost a fresh chance for them to stake a claim for league games given they didn’t leave the club

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Perhaps Keith thinks their heads would not be in the right place if they had transfers arranged which fell through at the last minute.

 

[Sparky]

Otis Cafu keeps his place at RB with OConnor playing in a jay spearing role

 

[Sparky]

Only worry is whether we can hold the ball up forward up the field as not much physical presence up there against their big centre halves

 

[Higgy]

Having advocated O'Connor or McDonald (Rides would cover at LB) as emergency cover for Jay, I'll be interested to see if he can give KH a viable option Sparky.

Dont think its anything to do with isolating.

GOAL!! Lloyd free kick gives us the lead

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

1-0, great free kick by Lloyd. We are doing ok here.

 

[aldoes mustache]

Danny fkn Lloyd I do love him,geeeeeetttttttt innnnnnnn

 

[Sparky]

Rovers lead at the break and overall it’s been a decent half. We’ve grown into the half after a couple of near misses at the back through our own fault. Lloyd looks sharp and Kirby is doing well along with OConnor impressing in front of the back 4. Need to get Morris involved a bit more but I’m happy so far

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Good half from Rovers. Peterborough have had a lot of the ball but we have defended well and have played some good, imaginative football ourselves. I have been impressed by Kirby.

And Carlisle losing at home to FGR!

 

[Boz]

Encouraging half from Rovers, after managing to rescue ourselves from a pair of self-inflicted defensive lapses. Great free-kick from Lloyd, but aside from a quality effort from Kirby that went just wide, we haven't tested them much otherwise. Will Posh bring some of their big guns off the bench second half?

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

FGR beat Carlisle. A draw would have been better, but defeat for the Cumbrians is the next best result.

They lost but I would have preferred a draw

Szmodics and Beavers coming on for Peterborough.
