Tonight’s EFL Trophy team. As expected a number of changes
COYR
-
theyve made 8 changes
and their flint is on the bench
lets hope our flint strikes in the match
-
I hope Sotona makes his presence felt tonight. Good luck to him
-
Roberts injured? Cant imagine he is being rested.
-
A very youthful front line which is good to see. Gives them valuable game time in a competitive match. Plus another chance for Faulkner to show his worth.
-
over 7/1 to win on betfair
-
Roberts injured? Cant imagine he is being rested.
I would say he’s injured or ill that’s why Kuelya is playing
-
Chance for the squad and junior players to impress...
-
that's the strongest bench we have had for a few years ?
-
1 | Almost an opener inside the first 30 seconds for Rovers as Jack Goodman capitalises on hesitation from the Mansfield defence to put him clear on goal inside the box but his shot cannot beat Scott Flinders
0-0
COYR
-
and we got a second chance
-
3 | Another big chance for Rovers. Louie Marsh threads a pass through the eye of a needle into the box for Jack Goodman, who can't get the ball out from under his feet for the shot.
0-0
COYR
-
7 | Another good chance for Rovers - and another superb pass into the danger zone from Louie Marsh. He picks out Tommy Rowe on the edge of the box with the veteran switching onto his left foot and drilling narrowly wide
0-0
COYR
-
Pen Mansfield
-
1:0
-
11 | Bobby Faulkner is penalised for a foul inside the box (or not)
11 | James Gale slots into the bottom corner from the spot to give the hosts the lead
1-0
COYR
-
Never a pen that
-
13 | The hosts double their advantage as James Gale heads home Will Swan's cross to the far post
2-0
COYR
-
4 good chances for us in less than 10 minutes and we’re 2-0 down!
-
Gonna be hard to get anything from this now
-
11 | Bobby Faulkner is penalised for a foul inside the box (or not)
11 | James Gale slots into the bottom corner from the spot to give the hosts the lead
1-0
COYR
Looked like a Broadbent challenge, Faulkner just the one asking why it was given.
2-0 now.
Been a few chances for us too, the difference being our finishing has been sh*te
-
17 | Off the bar. Calum Macdonald flicks a header onto the crossbar as a cross is drilled in from the left
2-0
COYR
-
And our defence is shocking
-
19 | Louie Marsh sends a shot wide from 25 yards
2-0
COYR
-
Are there many fans there from Donny?
-
Doesn’t sound like there’s any!
-
Do Bobby and olowu talk. Just tackled each other and nearly gave Mansfield a 1 on 1 with lawlor
-
Yellow card
A booking for Deji Sotona
For kicking the ball away after the whistle had gone
2-0
COYR
-
29 | So close to a third for Mansfield as Calum Macdonald runs onto the ball in the box and flashes a shot millimetres wide of the far post
2-0
COYR
-
There are a few of us here. Playing like a team of strangers. For those who are saying Faulkner should be starting he looks nowhere near ready on this performance
-
34 | Looks like Bobby Faulkner will be forced off here with an injury. Ben Close preparing to come on
Substitution
A change for Rovers
OFF
Bobby Faulkner
ON
Ben Close
2-0
COYR

He isn't having a good game at all, but we do know he is better than this. He isn't the only one that doesn't look ready for first team football
-
Get in 2-1 Close
38 | Close races towards the near post to meet a corner and flicks a header into the far corner
2-1
COYR
-
He is probably relieved to be coming off.
-
Kuleya not done much but think I like the look of him more than headless chicken Roberts
-
Marsh down now
-
Marsh now down injured looking bad, possibly a dislocated shoulder
39 | Real concern for Louie Marsh, who fell awkwardly on his arm. He doesn't look to be able to continue
2-1
COYR
-
Mansfield defence as bad as ours.
-
Marsh goes down. Looks a bad one. Shoulder popped out?
-
Looks like Marsh is about to be stretchered off
-
Marsh now down injured looking bad, possibly a dislocated shoulder
COYR
Yeh looked a little floppy and ref stopped straight away. Hopefully just a popped shoulder rather than a break!
-
Injury list growing. Hope the 2 guys tonight are OK and it's not long term
-
Marsh goes down. Looks a bad one. Shoulder popped out?
I think its his elbow
-
10 minutes of injury time well at least that
2-1
COYR
-

Shoulder or elbow either are not nice

Substitution
An enforced change for Rovers
OFF
Louie Marsh
ON
Luke Molyneux
A thumbs up from Louie as he leaves the pitch. All the very best Lou
2-1
COYR
-
45+9 | Little free kick routine for Rovers sees the ball flicked to Tommy Rowe, who fires wide from the 25 yards
2-1
COYR
-
45+12 | Lovely ball over the top from Luke Molyneux but a touch off the defender takes the ball away from Jack Goodman and allows for a simple save for Mansfield keeper Scott Flinders
2-1
COYR
-
Half time 2-1 had chances early on that were not taken, maybe a more experienced striker may have taken them, who knows. Back in the game with a Ben Close header. All to play for in the second half
COYR
-
Is Roberts on international duty ?
-
Injury curse strikes again. Sheer bad luck. Nothing that can be put down to the Eco pitch!!
Once again though, I do question the amount of games in the early part of the season. WIth bigger match day squads, more subs, there's more players suffering injuries and we're not the only ones.
-
46 | Early chance for Rovers as Ben Close chips the ball into the box, Jack Goodman chests but cannot get a good connection on his shot on the turn
2-1
COYR
-
The one thing that stands out in just about every game is our total inabilty to cross the ball successfully.
1 in 12. That really is rubbish.
-
47 | Luke Molyneux cuts across the face of the box and sends a shot wide
2-1
COYR
-
48 | Snapshot from McKeal Abdullah ten yards out is saved and held by Ian Lawlor
2-1

2-1
COYR
-
55 | First time strike from Ben Close from 35 yards forces a save from Scott Flinders
2-1
COYR
-
9 shots for Rovers so far 4 on target. at least that's promising.

64 | Rovers find the equaliser. Zain Westbrooke runs onto Ben Close's ball around the corner and clips a ball to the far post. Joe Ironside's header hits the upright but he turns in at the second attempt.
Boom
2-2
And a booking for westbroke
COYR

Great comeback

What a striker Ironside is, assist and goal in 2 touches.

77 | Off the post!
Luke Molyneux cuts inside and curls for the far post but hits the upright

2-2
COYR
-
3-2 Mansfield
88 | Callum Johnson squeezes a header beyond Ian Lawlor as he meets Aden Flint's flick on. Late blow for Rovers
3-2
COYR
-
Sounds end to end this. Plenty of shots from both sides.
-
ffs
-
Lawlor made a mistake there slowing that ball past him
-
Having been so close to a winner, to lose out at 88 minutes again is a bit of a sickener.
-
Can't defend for toffee. The defence needs addressing urgently
-
90 | There will be a minimum of four minutes added at the end of the second half
3-2
COYR
-
That sums us up to an absolute T. Could and should have about 6 and drop a howler at the other end. Ridiculous.

Not a penalty at all
COYR
Not a penalty that
-
Full time 3-2. Plenty of chances for them team tonight including hitting the woodwork a couple of times. Plenty of positives but a few negatives as well including a couple more injuries to the growing list
Onwards and upwards
COYR
-
I thought it wasn't a penalty at the time but having watched it again that was never a penalty.

Should make the ref watch that in a live interview and see what he has to say.
-
Stevie Wonder wouldn't have given that......and I wouldn't be surprised if BAFTA put the lad forward for an award... complete joke.
Totally embarrassing for the MTFC fans if they see that.

Don't think they will be embarrassed, got them a penalty and they won the game. Don't think they will give two f***s what we think
