A decent line up and a good strong bench, hopefully not too many get kicked off the field by Bradford.

The ref should make the Bradford keeper change kit.  His blue shirt is impossible to see in a crowded area against the Rovers away kit it’s the shade of blue!

Title: Re: Bradford Vs Rovers

For all our incisive play its route one that’s done the job!

Goal kick sent up to Ironside with a trademark flicked on header to Biggins. Quick through ball through to Molyneux who times his run perfectly and slots home.

I think that was onside.

Loving this. A proper full-blooded battle. Bradford are really cynical. But we're giving as good as we get physically. Crowd riled up. Referee started well but has lost control toward the end. I'll be amazed if this finishes 11 v 11.

I thought he was when I watched it live. Was waiting for the flag to go up. But have just watched it back and I don’t think he was when the ball was played. Because he was sprinting through it looked like he was yards off

Can’t believe the summary just given at half time on ifollow. Rovers huffed and puffed and deploying the dark arts! Weve had 60% of the ball and tried to play. Weve battled well. Bradford very cynical.

The Bradford player on one already was lucky he didn't get a 2nd just before half time.
Without the previous,that was a yellow all day long.

I’m no fan of Biggins, he is just not what we need, head down and runs all day, but no quality.

Def two points dropped there. We sat off them far too much second half instead of going for the kill barring a great effort from Maxwell. Slack defending one on one by Sterry resulting in Tyler tucking away the incoming cross. Overall we played well and dissapointing to not come away with the three points.

Onside.

Very tight, his shampoo (head and shoulders) looks like it might be just beyond the defender.
Fine margins though.
The linesman is two yards behind the play.

Cracking performance, got stuck in and everyone put a right shift in, Sterry not good defensively, but you can see now the players are beginning to understand and gel, too late this season, but bodes well for next, Adelukun is a must sign player
