Decent half that. Wood is having a good game. Sterry seems to be struggling to contain Richards
Keep going and the chance will come

Good half by Rovers and Bradford are seemingly a bit rattled and starting to get very physical with their challenges.

Really need to be exploiting the gaps Halliday is leaving.

Looks like two more long term injuries

steve@dcfd · « **Reply #35 on** January 30, 2024, 08:24:09 pm by steve@dcfd »

Molyneux limping badly off and Carty was shoved into the hoarding it looked bad had to be carried back to dugout.

Half time 0-0.

Well played Rovers. A much more solid show in defence and we’ve taken the game to Bradford when possible - 5 corners earned.
A couple of very near misses. Taylor looking lively and dangerous since he came on.

Molly and Carty off injured as a result of two cynical fouls on the touch line, neither of which resulted in a free kick.

We’re still well in this tie.

If Carty is long term then he should go back to Bolton and bring in another player

Broadbent looking better than he has done in his last few outings. Good physical midfielder for a game like this when he’s up to speed.

Carty bundled into the hoardings and injured in the process, having to come off. No free kick given!

Hopefully we aren’t taking any chances and the first sign of a knock we are taking players off.

More than a couple of knocks I think.
Molly can barely put weight on his injured leg and Carty had to be carried down the tunnel.

Ffs! This is getting silly now. It's gotta be a curse.

Rovers haven’t got the skill of a lot of the Bradford players, but they have looked more dangerous than Bradford in and around the box. We’ve managed to deal with the crosses too with Jones leaving his line to good effect on one or two occasions.

Awful pitch, weak referee, childish commentary by Tom Biltcliffe but a decent performance so far by Rovers.

The back four looks much improved on the shambles last Saturday and in other recent games. It’s good to see two full backs worthy of the name and the two CB’s are complementing each other well.
Richard Wood is a steady influence so far and we’ve defended balls into the box which we totally failed to do on Saturday.

A shame about losing two players with injuries but we can win this.

Sterry looks like he’s blowing out his a£s#, I know he’s just back but he looks way of it.

Molly took a nasty blow to the right shin/calf no way was it an attempt at the ball, should’ve been a yellow.

Carty was shouldered, but way off the ball - he wasn’t prepared for it and went flying. He instantly looked white as a ghost. Again no attempt at the ball, his only concern was fouling the player.

They are as bad as us in defence, just keep the crosses and pressure up, and they will cave in.

Good to hear some positives, particularly Jones coming off his line.

Pancho Regan · « **Reply #44 on** January 30, 2024, 08:38:28 pm by Pancho Regan »

Corner by Bradford “comes off a Rovers head” according to Biltcliffe, which translates as a firm and decisive header by Wood.

Thorney · « **Reply #45 on** January 30, 2024, 08:40:20 pm by Thorney »

Definitly better for having wood defending the corners

steve@dcfd · « **Reply #46 on** January 30, 2024, 08:43:58 pm by steve@dcfd »

What a mare from Jones good job it was offside although we appear to have cleared off the line

We could do with a few set piece specialists.

Jones got that wrong poor from the Keeper set up the wall and left the left side all wrong
So flat footed we need better

Did it go through the wall or did I miss see that?

Waiting for someone to blame Olowu

It went over the wall and in the corner Jones didn’t move

Went to the right of the wall. Never liked Biltcliffe. Smug git.

You could see a mile off where that free kick was going, poor goalkeeping for me.

He did move. He dived. But he was too far the other way to get to it.

1-0 Bradford from a free kick. Poor keeping from Jones really.

Not sure you can blame Jones. Close should have got a tackle in before the free kick then the wall just stood still.

Half an hour to get a goal. Come on Rovers
