How are we doing?

[Bristol Red Rover]

Putting stats and twitter together, not good. Or at least Oxford have come out of the blocks with some intention.

Are we good enough to play rope a dope?

You've a memory the size of a planet! 

I was more thinking of it being a sign of GM letting go of that need to have strikers taking pens. Good to see he does adapt. Although Marquis' last pen was reasonable (the one that was saved... my memory is more pea sized), I just don't think he sets up well for pens, not his thing.

Dunno about the RAM, but I have a very large spreadsheet........

Totally agree with your comments re penalty taking BRR

Little info about that as far as I can see.

Hope you sorted Savannah!

YELLOW Card to Ali Crawford

Up to fifth as it stands

[Bristol Red Rover]

One of theirs getting a booking after the whistle, and the pen "disputed" - I sense they're rattled and will come out strong in the next half. Could be a roller coaster high scoring game to come, and them already having 3 bookings could play into hands.

Good afternoon everyone, came late to the game. Good to see we are ahead in a tight game. Need a 2nd to give us space between us and them.

Any details of the pen BRR?

We haven't played very well. Too many poor passes in the middle. Cummings needs to get closer to his man. Pen was given because their player wrestled Butler to the ground off the ball. A penalty, but one thats usually not given.

Via Liam Holden:

3.21 Chance from the spot

A tussle between Rob Dickie and Andy Butler leads to referee Alan Young pointing to the spot. Didn't see a great deal wrong going off but Rovers have a big chance here to take the lead.
Ben Whiteman has confidently grasped the ball and is going to take it.

An ever wiley Andy Butler?

[Copps is Magic]

I've watched the replay. Its a foul, clear penalty. But you see a dozen of those during the game, and they are rarely given.
