Deflection off ironside ends up in the net from Biggins’ strike.. a bit fortunate but if you don’t shoot…

Fantastic start..

From the BBC website: Possession, Rovers 34%, MKD 66%

But that's all been in their half, were in control and they're not being allowed into our final third. We could be 3 or 4 up here.

Sky have them 38/62 for MK, but they also have shots on target 3-0!!!

From the Franchise fans site before the third goal…


…..Doncaster running rings round us, need to get a grip otherwise a tanking is coming our way…

…No exaggeration to say they could have had 5 by now….
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: ScillyRover on January 01, 2024, 03:48:23 pm
We’ve been Barcelonaesque this half, could have had 7 … ha ha.
3-0 up COYR

To be fair currently does look like 4-3-3.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: normal rules on January 01, 2024, 03:49:58 pm
We are defending quite well so far IMHO.

It’s the attacking that counts today. 12 shots, 6 on target. Stats we haven’t seen this season. And finding the back of the net.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: IDM on January 01, 2024, 03:51:17 pm
On another day we would have had 4 or 5
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: Peebles Rover on January 01, 2024, 03:54:20 pm
Incredible half, we look rejuvenated. Could it be the formation change?
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: IDM on January 01, 2024, 03:54:59 pm
Or just the confidence from the Mansfield game?
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC

Maybe Anderson not being in the side?

What an outstanding half. Best performance of the season.

However I was at Morecambe… (How many of you have already said the same!)

That's what I expected from us this year, excellent.  Maybe it's took some hammerings for it to click.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: DonnyOsmond on January 01, 2024, 04:00:32 pm
Think we're looking better in midfield and up front with that extra man. A Grant McCann team doesn't need to waste a man in defence.

My post was interrupted by a resurgent Rovers as they will be called by the press. Shots on target 6-1 in favour of Rovers but still at 35% possession.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC

If I have to be critical, Faal could be in the game a bit more..

Maybe Faal needs a goal for his confidence?

Past it that Tommy Rowe I tell you!
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: Peebles Rover on January 01, 2024, 04:21:15 pm
Was thinking the same. Earlier in the season he was on the ball far ball and spraying passes around
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: Peebles Rover on January 01, 2024, 04:21:34 pm
Faal I mean
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: IDM on January 01, 2024, 04:22:24 pm
This is a game where we didn’t want half time.. been a bit patchy since..

GM may be considering some changes?

I thought he worked pretty hard on that first half especially defensively.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: IDM on January 01, 2024, 04:28:59 pm
Agreed but I’m referring to going forward..

Still, we are winning 3-0 so only a minor point..

33% possession currently.
But, and it’s a big but, 18 shots on goal. 6 on target.

No more goals this half but that’s a decent performance and an outstanding result..

Always good to see a clean sheet too..

I’ll pick Moly as my MotM..

Post by: PDX_Rover on January 01, 2024, 05:01:41 pm
Proper McCann performance, that. Aggressive, attacking, then controlled for the second half. Best performance of the season for me.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC

Also I think Faal was waving goodbye at the end

Where’s he going after his recent performances? Can’t see him at a higher level at this stage for him
Title: Re: TLOD vs Franchise FC
Post by: glosterred on January 01, 2024, 05:35:14 pm
The first half was probably the best football we’ve seen in a long time, not just this season. The second half was controlled from Rovers, they had a couple of chances but that’s about all

Onwards and upwards
