I hope the confidence from Grimsby is with them today, If so a win for Rovers 2 - 0

Another early strike! Great stuff.

No one, apart from Hoden who should know better as the MEDIA manager, persistently calls “Rovers” Don-cas-ter Rovers”. Where does he get this from?

I read, in the Free Press, I think, that they try to maintain  a semblance of balance.  Even Peter Catt used to do it. I find it grates

How have we been doing since we scored?…just asking!

Post by: CottyRover on February 24, 2024, 03:29:54 pm
Salford 1 nil down to Mansfield, now on equal points with us. With our game in hand, there's a chance for us to get ahead of them

We're in control according to the commentary team. What do people there think?
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Wimbledon
Post by: silent majority on February 24, 2024, 03:53:25 pm
Definitely in control, Wimbledon fans booing their team.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Wimbledon
Post by: Peebles Rover on February 24, 2024, 03:55:51 pm
Yes in control but haven’t created too much apart from the goal. Good shot by Ironside. I like the look of Matt Craig. They’ve had a couple of dangerous crosses so far but not much else
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Wimbledon
Post by: monkeytennis on February 24, 2024, 03:56:23 pm
Playing very well. We are everywhere fighting for the ball, playing creative passes, getting really stuck in. Really enjoyable to watch.

Post by: CottyRover on February 24, 2024, 04:01:50 pm
Thanks for those reports, good to hear. Seems we're now getting the McCann team we expected to see. Frustrating not to be there
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Wimbledon
Post by: Peebles Rover on February 24, 2024, 04:03:25 pm
First time that I’ve seen them live since last season. We look so much more like a proper team v last year!

More important Wimbledon have 0 shots on target to Rovers 3, that is the real sign of improvement.

Haks off injured. I hope that’s precautionary

Not what we need. Opportunity for Hurst.

iFollow commentators didn't seem particularly concerned

Hope it is just a precaution, as he’s been on fire for us since joining.

McCann must be confident of a result putting on the subs at this stage.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Wimbledon
Post by: Sammy Chung was King on February 24, 2024, 04:38:02 pm
He has to show confidence in them. One nil is always dodgy though. They will get an opportunity before the end, as we will.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Wimbledon
Post by: CottyRover on February 24, 2024, 04:40:10 pm
Seem to be doing well, but I'd feel more comfortable if one of these shots went in

% minutes extra time, not long to go, it will be 6-7 with the current injury.

It worked last week, you called win early, I protested and we won  :lol: :lol:

Seems like a good tactic?

Rovers not sitting back in extra time, the best form of defence and all that.

I assume that “%” extra time” is 5 minutes extra time, Barnby? (Typo?)

Hoden has improved as a commentator, but it’s probably easier when we are playing well,

Looked like a dead leg to me.

The tackle was that late that it felt like a hit job ordered by their clueless manager.

2 or 3 elbows flying about from Wombles. Other refs may have shown different colour cards
What happened to Sterry 1st half, did someone deck him?
