No Luke Armstrong for Harrogate big loss for them, their fans not happy as he has made himself unavailable to play after the transfer interest shown

So far not great going forward- Ironside not holding it up and they look more dangerous

Rovers not dominating the game, Harrogate have had the better chances. A bit more energy needed from midfield.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate

Crowd seems a bit flat at minute need to try and lift the noise levels
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate

So far Harrogate 3 shots, all on target, Rovers the same, all off target.

Thing is it was something that would be quite believable unfortunately

0:0 HT

Stockport took till October to get going last year.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: ScillyRover on August 05, 2023, 03:53:54 pm
Second best first half. Too many misdirected long balls for my liking bypassing the midfield and not allowing Broadbent and Bailey to influence the game.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Donny Dub on August 05, 2023, 03:54:15 pm
Sterry has played well first half but he looks as if he’s picked up an injury during it.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: ScillyRover on August 05, 2023, 03:56:43 pm
Sterry has played well first half but he looks as if he’s picked up an injury during it.
He was struggling some ten minutes before HT. Let’s hope he’s ok for second half.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Scooter on August 05, 2023, 03:58:44 pm
My guess is Sterry off. Bailey at right back. Biggins on

He needs to come off before he makes it worse.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Plumbster on August 05, 2023, 04:05:38 pm
I would take off Tommy, JT and Ironside if they don’t improve second half
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 05, 2023, 04:09:22 pm
I think it will be Taylor coming off at 60, Sotona on at that point. Maybe Roe off and Biggins on if things haven't improved in midfield.

Post by: Barmby Rover on August 05, 2023, 04:11:59 pm
For all the talk pre-season there has been little use of the wings so far.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: coventryrover on August 05, 2023, 04:16:08 pm
Omg Taylor should have scored.    So much time and no pace on the shot.    Keeper out of contention
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: ScillyRover on August 05, 2023, 04:17:19 pm
Taylor waited an eternity there instead of hitting the ball first time. Should have been a certain goal that.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 05, 2023, 04:17:52 pm
Should be one up. Keep up the movement and more will come.

Hope this Wrexham bollox calms down - BBC covering every move as always...

This ref is just dreadful.

Roberts, Sotona and Miller on
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate

25-30 minutes left, plenty of time if Rovers pull their fingers out.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Dabby on August 05, 2023, 04:33:32 pm

DOUBLE SUBSTITUTION
And it's two debutants entering play for Rovers.

OFF

Tommy Rowe, Jon Taylor

ON

Tyler Roberts, Deji Sotona.

Thankfully this is game 1 of 46 would have been nice to get a good result but just not at it in the first half
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Pancho Regan on August 05, 2023, 05:00:13 pm
Whatever the final score, this is so much better than last season in terms of effort, endeavour, energy and commitment.

Decent attendance hope we haven’t put off any floating fans
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 05, 2023, 05:06:48 pm
As they were shaping up they could have given them another 45 minutes and still they wouldn't have scored. More work to come GM.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: ScillyRover on August 05, 2023, 05:09:26 pm
I would like to see Sotona and Roberts starting home games in the hope we can get a goal or two ahead instead of bringing them on when chasing the game. We were transformed when those two came on.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Plumbster on August 05, 2023, 05:23:26 pm
Enjoyed the second half but worrying lack of quality and guile going forward. Never a penalty- the clue should have been that no one even appealed but they deserved the win- their 9 and 12 were a class above anything we had
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: Bessie Red on August 05, 2023, 05:50:45 pm
Their no.8 bossed the midfield all game until he went off!
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Harrogate
Post by: glosterred on August 05, 2023, 06:09:12 pm
Better football but sadly same result. Grant must have said something to the ref at full time as I noticed he was shown the yellow card with a flourish by the ref. Possibly something to do with the poor decision for the penalty.

Onwards and upwards
