Just got in from work so not there today.
Surprised no one has opened up this place up yet.
Nil nil and currently in 7th place.

Well on top though. All shots have been Rovers.
-
Port Vale winning and Crewe losing

I had - but like you I was surprised no one had done it pre KO.
A lot of action early on, so too exciting to comment perhaps!

I have taken a pause from opening the match day thread after a run of 4 defeats :blush:

I posted this one just 1 minute before yours lol.

What’s a the team today?
Rovers line up in full.
Rovers: Sharman-Lowe, Sterry, Maxwell, Olowu, Molyneux, Sbarra, Bailey (C), Ennis, Ironside, McGrath, Crew.
BENCH: Lawlor, Anderson, Broadbent, Street, Gibson, Sharp, Clifton
-
Salford getting beat by Cheltenham.
Let off for Rovers, Harrogate shoot over the cross bar.
-
Salford, Crewe and Salford all losing. Come on Rovers we need a WIN!
-
Games' very scrappy. Rovers somehow look the better team, but they've had 3 very good chances.
-
We’ve let them get into the game and our finishing has let us down, but the effort is encouraging.
-
It’s one thing to have chances, it’s another to score goals, hope we don’t rue our missed opportunities.
-
35 clearances by Harrogate compared with 7 from us which tells its own tale.
-
Not sure Crew and Ennis are any better than the players we own. We should be putting a bit more of a stamp on the game we in midfield but there’s no presence to keep it ticking over.
-
TSL kept us in the game on three or four occasions in that half.
-
We’ve been by far the better team. Great pace and urgency. Loads of balls into the box but sadly nothing to show for it. We’ve let them break on us a couple of times and need to cut that out or it might cost us if we fail to score in the second half.
Encouraging though.
Also I hope the scoreboard is still under warranty :-D
-
Rovers have most of play but we are having little effect around goal. We have not created anything as of yet.
-
Not sure Crew and Ennis are any better than the players we own. We should be putting a bit more of a stamp on the game we in midfield but there’s no presence to keep it ticking over.
Rovers commentary waxing lyrical about Crew, saying how good his partnership with Bailey is developing.
-
Get big Tom on, we simply aren't defending high balls into our box. Three times rescued by TSL, we can't keep relying on him.
-
From BBC stats 69 % possession 7 shots yet only 1 on target
Harrogate 30% possession 3 shots 2 on target
We need to get this right yet again

Not sure they’ve passed the ball to each other once.

It's more about covering each other's space when one has an opportunity to go forward or when one is covering for a full back the other picks up the space.
Sounds simple but good communication and/or natural instincts bodes well.
-
Not Rovers related but Rovrum getting pumped 3-1 away at Burton, which is nice.
-
Under the cosh at the moment.
-
Get Billy on!
-
They’re bossing the 2nd half.
-
There's something not right about this Rovers team. I can't offer any suggestions about what it might be, but given the budget, the players, the backing, the mood music, the expectation and the leadership too, something ain't right.
And Notts County have just taken the lead too.

Notts Co winning
7,241 attendance.
-
Harrogate been slow timing al game
-
For me the issue is our passing quality in the final 3rd. Sbarra should be in theory that guy but he's just not doing it for me...
-
Sarbs off, Clifton on.
Crowd sounding good ont wireless
-
Cannot get the pass in that creates a shooting chance for us.
-
Chesterfield level with Vale.
-
Terrible following from Harrogate. Rovers need a spark of creativity to win this one.
-
It doesn't matter how slow Harrogate have been playing. Rovers have had 62% possession and have not scored. That is the problem!
-
Hard to see where a goal comes from? Does anyone have any guesses?
-
Salford 2 nil down
-
Bromley level up with Notts
-
At current rates if they got a penalty they would miss it! Very frustrating.

Clifton.
-
GOAL CLIFTON
Up to 3rd
-
Yes!
-
Lovely move, that. Gibson did well.
-
Wow, we needed that!
-
Nothing silly now Rovers!! (As if!)
-
Keeping howler but we’ll take it. You reds!

Clifton is direct and scores important goals - usually low direct shots and that’s what counts in L2! He really ought to start every game, but he isn’t one of McCann’s favourites.
-
When Cifton scores, we win!
-
A win is a win, but some serious work still needs doing with the squad, dominance needs converting to goals.
-
Get in!
-
Still not firing on all cylinders but we needed that
-
Grant should start Clifton instead of Sbarra if that the choice he has.
-
Other than Notts County getting a draw every single result that mattered went our way today. Are the Gods looking down on us benevolently?

Amen to that, Bob!
-
Great win. Move onto the next one
-
I thought Crew was our best player today. He had a steady start at Gills but was much better today. He looks to be an excellent prospect.
-
Don’t think we were too far off it today - that final pass just not coming off, littles touches and passes just a little off, crosses that would have looked decent had we had someone attacking the near post etc..
Definitely not at our best but not so bad, fine margins as usual.
TSL one decent save with their overhead kick but Harrogate were wasteful. Crew my MotM, Oluwu close second.
Think the ref was looking at the rugby league markings whenever they challenged Ironside, yet gave Harrogate free kicks whenever they fell over..
Hard won 3 points.. happy with that.
