I can't see anything today. If anything happens, would you let me know on here please?

Don't know why but I'm feeling pessimistic about this. Cue Rovers scoring 6. I hope...

It is happening again, opponents 3 shots, 3 on target. Rovers seem not to be able to do that.
Title: Re: Rovers v Carlisle
Post by: IDM on March 29, 2025, 03:22:13 pm
Rovers 3 shots 2 on target.  The other blocked so not reported as on target.

Tom Anderson seems to be playing quite high up the pitch, almost as an extra midfielder.
Title: Re: Rovers v Carlisle
Post by: Barmby Rover on March 29, 2025, 03:28:44 pm
There is a distinct improvement in targeted shots today. Fingers crossed it pays off soon.

If only Gibson could shoot better with the amount of chances he has.

Fairly comfortable half but lacking a little oomph. Need to sharpen up or I can see Carlisle getting lucky.

Bailey seems to be playing better without the armband. His best half of football by a mile this season.

Rovers have to press on, and they seem to be doing so, but not with any shots going in.

Great goal overall, perfect crossfield Molly pass, Gibson did well dribbling to the point of a fairly easy shot.

On another day, he could have been tackled and got Flack for not taking his chances earlier. Confidence issue hopefully improved and will help on that side of his play.

Winning that game in hand is going to be important as that puts Wimbledon ahead of us by a point

Credit where its due. According to BBC stats, nine shots today, zero off target.

Is that 6 subs we have just made? :ohmy:

Was one a concussion sub?

That is a big change from recent games, keep them on target and you are much more likely to score.

I hope so, but I just don't know. Did anyone look concussed?

It'd be a surprise if all the officials allowed that if no conclusion protocol.

Panic over. Bessie Red has pointed out on the main board that since Carlisle had a concussion sub we are also allowed an extra sub

I hadn't realised, or even remotely thought that the other team gets an extra sub as well (have checked and that is correct)

Quite a bit of discussion about this today.
DO said it was horrific for him in the SW corner but for us, centre left of the South Stand it was a massive improvement.
Other positions around the ground seem to have found it better for them too.

Yes, I have seen that.
Obviously I can only comment on how good it was for us.
