Trying to match them up with 3 centre halves?

Hope Moly doesn’t have to play right wing back

Also harsh on Nixon not to be involved unless he’s injured

Don't like the sound of those Bradford corners and long throws...

Billy with the chicken dance

Talksport are having orgasms about this game. And now Billy's goal too

Good half from Rovers, their defense is all over the place.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: GazDRFC on September 06, 2025, 03:49:03 pm
We've been outstanding, can really see the competitiveness in the squad and the togetherness. Unbelievable time to be a Rovers fan

Rovers have been excellent this half
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: Cramby10 on September 06, 2025, 03:49:45 pm
Billy deserved that goal. He’s been very good. Best I’ve seen him play for a while.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: sedwardsdrfc on September 06, 2025, 03:50:26 pm
Good half of football we’ve played some nice stuff. Joe Wright is looking like a Scottish league player. Awful.

They are still dangerous so we need to manage the 2nd half. The new forward should have done joy on the break later on.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: Nudga on September 06, 2025, 03:50:34 pm
Agent 00 Joe Wright doing us a solid today.

Once a Rover....

Good half from Rovers, their defense is all over the place.

And you've also got to say credit to Sharp and Gibson for forcing it. They look well up for it.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: PDX_Rover on September 06, 2025, 03:50:45 pm
One of the best games I’ve seen in a while. Rovers have been superb. Three great goals.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: monkeytennis on September 06, 2025, 03:52:27 pm
What a half of football. Both teams look dangerous and it’s proper end to end stuff. Maxwell struggling a bit being overloaded with tall players but other than that everyone seems to be having a good game.

No way this ends 3-1.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: dknward2 on September 06, 2025, 03:54:01 pm
Think our average younger age players are doing a job on the old men of bratford.

Got some real pace on the bench to stretch it later on
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: sedwardsdrfc on September 06, 2025, 03:54:58 pm
Sky have missed a trick not putting this one on telly. Doubt they’ll be a better game today

Post by: IDM on September 06, 2025, 03:59:35 pm
I’m a guest in an exec box today, and there’s a couple of Bradford lads in here too.  They’re shell shocked about how bad their defence has been.  Even stevens up to 2-1, but we’ve been better since.

Great finishing though.

I can't get the second half on Iplayer says not available in my region.

Talksport reckon Bradford happy to play 1 on 1 with Billy - so put a fast un on!
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: Barmby Rover on September 06, 2025, 04:23:57 pm
Bring Olusanya on for Billy at 70 minutes, a quick breakaway to kill the game?

They seem a decent pair of lads, just supporting their team..

More changes for Bradford give it 5 mins then think time for rovers pace agents to come on
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford

Could have had 4 there.

Gibbo off. Middleton on.

Fantastic defence display today

So far 77 mins

Talksport reckon either Rovers will get another or Bradford will get close to getting a point.

Triple sub. Close, chap with unspellable name and Ajayi on. Clifton, Molyneux and Sharp off
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford

Come on rovers one more and I'll feel comfortable
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: BobG on September 06, 2025, 04:40:48 pm
They reckon Bradford are busting to score- leaving big gaps at the back. If they score they'll have momentum and could equalise. If Rovers get em on the break it'll finish Bradford
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: dknward2 on September 06, 2025, 04:44:05 pm
Gonna be at least 6 mins added on

Tilt could have been sent off twice. Absolute garbage.

Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: BobG on September 06, 2025, 04:54:20 pm
39 Bradford crosses apparently. They've done absolutely nothing with em which, radio says is very poor. But us letting 39 crosses come in ain't  good either...
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford

Broadbent could have had 2 today but great win today

Post by: Barmby Rover on September 06, 2025, 05:02:09 pm
That was a truly wonderful game, easily getting a score up in the first half, and then controlling the game to stop Bradford in the second. GM will be so happy with this one.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Bradford
Post by: PDX_Rover on September 06, 2025, 05:03:37 pm
That was excellent by Rovers. Shame we couldn’t get another goal second half but for me that was a complete performance. Bradford tried everything and were limited to one real chance second half. We could have added 2 or 3.

Top notch, that.

Post by: IDM on September 06, 2025, 05:04:42 pm
I don’t remember TLT having to make a save second half..
