Bradford Vs Rovers (Bristol Street Motors Trophy)

[ian1980]

Tonight’s line up:

[normal rules]

Safe travels to those going, on what will be a chilly night in Bradford.

[Metalmicky]

Safe travels to those going, on what will be a chilly night in Bradford.

I hope they have already got there..... it KO in 25 mins

[Pancho Regan]

Let’s see how that re-vamped defence performs.
Surely we should see an improvement? Certainly looks better on paper.

[Barmby Rover]

Rovers are doing well, fingers crossed!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Sounds like a lively start. 3 efforts to their one in first few minutes.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Assume it’s a back 3 with Bailey in there if Wood is starting?

[ncRover]

Looking very poor again. Blink and Bradford have a dangerous attack

[Thorney]

They are striding through our midfield with ease at the moment.
We cant keep hold of the ball. To many balls just being lumped long

[drfchound]

Good punch clear by Jones from a good Bradford corner.
IFollow commentator (who is very poor by the way) says he clawed it away.
Jones having a good game so far.

[Pancho Regan]

Assume it’s a back 3 with Bailey in there if Wood is starting?

No it’s a back four of Sterry, McGrath, Wood and Maxwell.

Looking much better so far, having faced quite a number of crosses and corners.

[Thorney]

God we are s**t. Getting absolutley over run. Have these players given up?

[Pancho Regan]

Agreed about the commentator Hound, he’s poor.
Failing to give credit to some good defending by Rovers.

[Pancho Regan]

You’re watching a different game to me.

[Pancho Regan]

Good to see McGrath mixing it with Andy Cook - that’s what we need.

[Sammy Chung was King]

We need control of the midfield. Just stay in the game.

[jmt23]

Nasty knock for Molly there, comms calling it a twisted leg , talk about blind love, he took a fair kick from the defender, should’ve been a card

You’re watching a different game to me.

And me

[Thorney]

I must be unfortunatly. Its been all one way traffic, we've had no control in midfield. Not posed any threat going forward since the 3rd minute. Its all bradford. The only positive i can see is the 2 CB's looking solid. 

[drfchound]

Taylor flashed a great ball across the face of goal but no one could get a touch to poke it home.

[Pancho Regan]

Maxwell inches away from making contact with a fierce ball in from Taylor - just needed a touch and that was in.

[normal rules]

4 shots to rovers just 1 on tgt. Around 50/50 possession . They have had four shots all on tgt

[Pancho Regan]

Juvenile commentary.

[drfchound]

We aren’t great tonight but are massively better than on Saturday.
Lots of commitment and hard work going on.

[drfchound]

Carty now forced out of the game.
Hurst on.

[Dutch Uncle]

Two enforced changes through injury already

Seem to remember that also happened at Mansfield in this competition 

[Thorney]

2 bloody injuries

[Pancho Regan]

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

[colincramb]

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.
