TLT
Sterry Olowu McGrath Fleming
Bailey Kelly
Sbarra Clifton Yeboah
Sharp

Lot of changes. Saturday was poor but it concerns me how mix and match the line up seems to be each week.

Boring.

Total lack of ideas.

Post by: dknward2 on October 01, 2024, 08:40:44 pm
At least we aren't losing done ok so far but barrow done nothing to test us yet.

We need to score at least 2 tonight i suspect to win, can see them coming out more attacking in the 2nd half. We need to start running at their defence with the ball and get them fouling in and around the box
Title: Re: Rovers v Barrow

Olowu MoM so far.
Title: Re: Rovers v Barrow
Post by: steve@dcfd on October 01, 2024, 08:43:30 pm
So two good crosses one from the left from sbarra and Billy hits the cross bar one from the right from Billy and Sbarra should have scored.
Hard working with no technical ability from midfield or out wide. Yeboah not in the game Clifton and Kelly hard working but no creativity. Dropping to a three at the back with Bailey joining in Fleming who is definitely not a Maxwell and Sterry going further forward. We have had more territory without creating much. Passing poor some times. This I would say no more than 50% of the end last year .

In these conditions im suprised nobody has hit 1 from distance to skid up at the keeper. Gotta be a keeper error in this

Post by: danumdon on October 01, 2024, 08:47:52 pm
Awful weather, awful match, clueless side.

We break out after defending a corner the ball goes forward to Sbarra, he looks up, THREE of our players have bust a gut to get forward, he turns and passes it back towards our goal, just WTF do we do in training?

The young kid from Bristol looks like he's never played a match in his life.

We have zero, drive, ambition or nous. Just what's happened to us?

A difference of opinion from Barrow fans:

Firstly the ref is an absolute tosser, complete homer. Secondly they look dreadful and there for the taking, shame we look pathetic going forward. I hope he scores tonight, but garner is [SwearFilter] useless.

Are we even arsed? Throw in midway into their half which Bailey ran all the way from centre half to take, wasting about 20 seconds, and the ball just ended up back with him at centre half anyway.

We're currently in the playoffs. We've already played 4 of the other most fancied teams, plus Barrow tonight who have started the season as one of the best teams. We clearly aren't quite clicking yet, but we're managing to pick up points regardless. This comment and your next are ridiculous based on all of the above.

Deserved it. Made hard work of it but we deserved the win. Grumble at not taking chances but Clifton made up for it after missing the easiest square ball to Sharp of all time.
Title: Re: Rovers v Barrow
Post by: danumdon on October 01, 2024, 09:56:40 pm
Think the weather won.

That was very hard going for all tonight, conditions were very awkward and on reflection i think i was a bit harsh earlier, the main thing for me was that even though we struggled to get going, we kept at it. In the past we'd have shipped a late goal and come away with nothing, so well done for battling  it out.

We massively missed Mols tonight and will need him back for Grimsby, we move on.

Agree there - think he has improved immeasurably and now has so much presence.  Felt it was all a bit fluffy tonight, but at least we carved out a goal eventually and 3 points are in the bag.
