5 changers for the outfield again still not a settled team and only one up front, Grant still not willing to try something different

You you got the team sheet available please?

I managed to forget that it is a 12.30 kick off. As I have an hour's journey to get to the stadium, I'll be following the match on here. Hope my absence brings luck! I notice Lawlor is still in goal, and Billy is up front

Is anything happening? Sounds like Burton have had a lively start

Burton just hit bar

Moly missed a good chance

Just had a bet on Burton to win hopefully a bit of reverse phycology

Post by: steve@dcfd on October 04, 2025, 12:44:18 pm
Molyneux should left for Sharp poor attempt as a finish
Then poor head on the ball in front of goal
Another headed chance Bailey and  Grehan get in each others way and missed again

There is goals to be had here if we keep calm and be clinical

Couple of good chances there come on rovers let's do this
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Metalmicky on October 04, 2025, 12:56:39 pm
Gibson is proper weak... lost count of how many times he has lost out in challenges.  Moly missed a good chance there...

Why did we not bring some adverts closer to the pitch to stop these long throws
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Peebles Rover on October 04, 2025, 01:01:50 pm
Get in
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Peebles Rover on October 04, 2025, 01:02:18 pm
Had a feeling Pearson would get his first today
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Metalmicky on October 04, 2025, 01:02:45 pm
Good header by Pearson...
Title: Re: Rovers v burton

Burton just hit bar

Me too after that went in

Deserved the lead after creating several chances

A set play actually worked thank god now let's get another 6
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: steve@dcfd on October 04, 2025, 01:03:44 pm
At last a good worked set piece and Pearson scores
Title: Re: Rovers v burton

Glad hartridge booked now continually run at him get that 2nd yellow

C Webster for them is a good player
Title: Re: Rovers v burton

Burton taking an age over every set piece.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Scooter on October 04, 2025, 01:18:31 pm
Free kick just outside the box and they fanny about with. That should have been a shot on goal
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Iberian Red on October 04, 2025, 01:18:39 pm
Close looking good again
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Peebles Rover on October 04, 2025, 01:19:31 pm
Yes, Close doing well
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Peebles Rover on October 04, 2025, 01:20:04 pm
We could do with an early goal
Second half so we can enjoy it!
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: drfcsteve on October 04, 2025, 01:21:48 pm
Solid first half, working the ball well, Close bossing it, Moly should have scored twice.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: RugbyRover on October 04, 2025, 01:25:12 pm
If we were any good we'd beat these by 5.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: CottyRover on October 04, 2025, 01:27:36 pm
We could do with a healthy score and a clean sheet. Our goal difference of zero is the lowest in the top twelve
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: dknward2 on October 04, 2025, 01:33:28 pm
Need an early goal to settle the nerves and get them to come at us

Post by: i_ateallthepies on October 04, 2025, 01:34:42 pm
5 changers for the outfield again still not a settled team and only one up front, Grant still not willing to try something different

Five changes and Grant not willing to try something different?  Wow! (and I do know you meant the lone striker)
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: IDM on October 04, 2025, 01:36:28 pm
If we were any good we'd beat these by 5.

We’ve just lost 4 games in a row.  Any win will do.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Thorney on October 04, 2025, 01:37:43 pm
Why are we not having a pop at goal from that lasy kick of the half. They put 10 men behind the ball, rolling it into the box was an awful decision
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: goalkick on October 04, 2025, 01:40:06 pm
Some good football but we do need a striker.

Jesus f**king Christ, Ajayi..
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Peebles Rover on October 04, 2025, 02:14:07 pm
Crikey we’ve gone backwards this second half
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: drfcsteve on October 04, 2025, 02:14:30 pm
Jesus f**king Christ, Ajayi..

How does he have a contract with Spurs?!
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: drfcsteve on October 04, 2025, 02:17:30 pm
We’d be out of sight if we had their number 8 Webster.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: goalkick on October 04, 2025, 02:18:26 pm
Alasanya ajayi Hanlan  ye gods what a trio to bring on if you want to win.

Lawlor wtf are you doing!??
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Peebles Rover on October 04, 2025, 02:19:37 pm
Only looking like one winner at present
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: roversdaft on October 04, 2025, 02:20:03 pm
Burton look likely to steal this
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: GazDRFC on October 04, 2025, 02:24:14 pm
Been too predictable, even the Burton commentators have called exactly how the game has gone and can't understand our high line when we have no pace to deal with their striker
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: ScillyRover on October 04, 2025, 02:26:50 pm
We’ve been so disjointed this second half. Lucky to end up with a point.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: drfcsteve on October 04, 2025, 02:26:50 pm
Same old story, don’t take our early chances and end up paying the price
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Peebles Rover on October 04, 2025, 02:26:56 pm
We’ve gone backwards over the last few games. Looked so poor that second half
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: ChrisBx on October 04, 2025, 02:27:11 pm
That second half performance was unacceptable.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: NickDRFC on October 04, 2025, 02:29:13 pm
Terrible second half. Far too open at the back - you can’t keep conceding one on ones and not expect to get punished. The subs made us worse and that was from a low bar. We still had chances, though - Sharp’s miss was a stinker.

Can’t believe the change from Bradford in less than a month. What’s going on?
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: ForsolongaRover on October 04, 2025, 02:36:05 pm
Have the substitutes done any better in any game we’ve played? Close was doing Ok and both Gibson and Molyneux were far better than their replacements. Its difficult to discern what qualities Ajayi and Olusanyo possess.

Lawlor is slow in his reactions, leaves a lot to his defenders and scarcely deserves to keep his place.

To do well you need to be on the right side of the big moments in games & we havent been & thats what is going to stop us being in the top half this season.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: monkeytennis on October 04, 2025, 03:44:01 pm
Awful second half. Inexplicable and damaging subs again.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: les@donr on October 04, 2025, 04:43:29 pm
Lots of work for Grant to do on the training ground.
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: Dagenham Rover on October 04, 2025, 10:55:47 pm
First half we should have been 2/3 ) up, what the bloody hell happened in the 2nd half
Title: Re: Rovers v burton
Post by: drfchound on October 05, 2025, 12:03:04 am
We were still creating chances up to the point of the four subs making their appearance.
After that we went to pieces.
Had we gone two or three up as we should have done then it would have been a very different game.
