Today’s team
COYR
-
That is a strong team with a less strong subs bench apart from Gibson.
Where’s Hanlan he not been part of squads recently is he injured, Grant said no one in medical room, have they had words ???
-
Presume it’s not screened anywhere?
-
I expected Tom Nixon to come back in.
-
39 year old up front on his own with no one on the bench that can come on and replace him, and we’ve got no injuries. How’s it come to that.
-
Quiet in the Cheshire Inn atm....

I think the theory is for Olusanya to come on if Sharp goes off.
Not great bearing in mind hthe new lads form so far.

There is Olusanya ( I know, I know!) or how likely is it that somebody like Gotts comes on and bailey goes up there IF Billy is feeling it late on. I think that's a big IF.
-

The answer to that is the recruitment team and Grant made poor decisions when it came to Hanlan and Olusanya. None of those two can replace Billy unfortunately so we are stuck in this situation.
So that’s the strongest team we have minus Sterry

that’s about the long and the short of it. In no way shape or form am I calling for GM’s head but equally he shouldn’t be immune from criticism. And with this situation, he hasn’t really covered himself in glory. Roll on January to put it right.
-
We may as well set up with a false 9 if Sharp gets gassed.
These strikers off the bench (imposters) offer absolutely zero

Has anyone got the commentary on Rovers+?

rovers player up to its usual standard, nothing for me no audio

A good start, lots of attacking intent

14 | George Broadbent powers forward and shoots from 20 yards with Crewe's Mickey Demetriou sticking out a leg to turn the ball behind for a corner
Crewe 0-0 Rovers
COYR
-
18| So, so close to an opener for Rovers as Sean Grehan sends in a superb cross which Owen Bailey meets on the volley and sends his effort narrowly wide. Great attack
Crewe 0-0 Rovers
COYR
-
21 | Big chance for the hosts as Tommi O'Reilly hits the byline and cuts the ball back for the on-rushing Owen Lunt who slams a first time effort narrowly wide
Crewe 0-0 Rovers
COYR
-
25 | Big tackle from Crewe's Mickey Demetriou to prevent Billy Sharp from putting Rovers ahead
Crewe 0-0 Rovers
COYR
-
30 | Goal....but no! Connor O'Riordan heads home from a Glenn Middleton free kick but the whistle goes for a foul. Still goalless
Crewe 0-0 Rovers
COYR
-
I spend ages every time I try to sign in to Rovers + is a really badly designed process on a third rate website. I eventually got it to accept my signing in details and then I got nothing on "listen live". They completely ignore the criticisms and it is totally unprofessional .... and its just come through - nearly half an hour late!!!!
-
32 | So close to the opener for Rovers at the end of a brilliant counterattack. Luke Molyneux's delivery is flick on by Owen Bailey and drops to Glenn Middleton who side-foots wide of the far post
Crewe 0-0 Rovers
COYR
-
FYI
After a series of issues, our Rovers+ commentary feed for this afternoon's game at Crewe Alexandra has been restored.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused
-
This first half reminds me so much of the Huddersfield game a few weeks back.
We are creating lots of chance but not putting them away.
I just hope we don’t suffer the same result as the earlier match.
-
Completely useless, I have stopped paying them due to their incompetence.

40 | A yellow card for Matty Pearson
Crewe 0-0 Rovers

46+2 | Close to a second for Crewe as an early ball is sent into the box, just out of reach of Conor Thomas at the back post.
A break in play now after Thomas collided with the post in trying to reach the ball
Crewe 1-0 Rovers
COYR
-
Rovers 4 shots, 0 on target. Crewe 3 shots 2 on target. Says a lot doesn't it!
-
Unless we sign an excellent striker in January, this season's going to be disastrous.
-
Learnt nothing from last week then.
-
Half time 1-0 not taken the chances we’ve had. And now paying for it
COYR
-

No, it says f**k all - at least one of our shots was reported to have been blocked, so could have been on target but doesn’t get recorded as such.
-

Wasn’t a disaster in the first 6 or 7 games was it, with the same squad.??

Thanks for the updates Glosterred. At Cambridge watching Cambridge stuff Chester who are just as cynical and nasty as their Conference predecessors.
-
No shots on target against league 2 opponents, not good enough I'm afraid.
-
Anyone there got any updates other than copy and paste from twitter?
-
BBC stats say we had 4 shots, none on target. But they also say only 2 shots off target. What happened to the other two.?
If they were blocked my previous post applies.
-
I hate to say it, but on this season's form, that is game over. This team does not come back from going down in a game. COYR, prove me wrong!!!
-
According commentary same old stuff. Lots of possession with no result.can only hope now with our goal scoring record.
-
We had it also in the net, what was the reason for it being disallowed? And was it a right decision?
-

You mean when a defensive midfielder was scoring most of our goals?
If you can't see that our forwards recruitment was shit, and is costing us big time, then you're deluding yourself.

Christ i hope our players havn't given up on a comeback like some.

Hope that is because glenn has a niggle, because grant thinks middleton has done something wrong then his confidence will be gone.
Nothing tactical about that like for like change

Gibbo on in place of Middleton.
Rovers started like a train in the second half.

Does it matter where goals come from.?
And for the record, I agree our striker signings haven’t performed.
If you get off on calling fellow fans deluded for actually stating something which was true, then go ahead.

48 | And from the next corner... Matty Pearson sees a header blocked on the line with Crewe hacking the ball clear

Boom!

We really have missed him.

We will see, a draw is no good here.

Is extra time looming?

Can’t finish in a draw, extra time then penalties..
The point being, it’s certainly game on at the moment, or don’t you agree.?
-
Do we get extra time? No replays is it now?
-
You don’t remember our cup games last season then.?
-
Radio Sheffield not to complimentary towards TLT’s performance - not convincing is a common comment. Not there or able to watch so don’t know how accurate that is.
-
Not game over then.??
The bookies have a draw down as 4/9, Rovers at 4/1 against winning.

Sounded like he’s been guilty of missing two sitters today, as with other weeks recently, but he just keeps going. Well done Owen

Yay! Bailey! :woohoo:
"The Brian Robson of Rovers" - a better comment than the previous "He's not a David Beckham, more like a Mrs Beckham" :ermm:

Lets hold on

Rovers 4 shots, 0 on target. Crewe 3 shots 2 on target. Says a lot doesn't it!

"The Brian Robson of Rovers" - a better comment than the previous "He's not a David Beckham, more like a Mrs Beckham" :ermm:
Yes, but the Beckham comment was after a horrendous long attempt by a Crewe player.

Better than slagging off our players like some of our fans do.

Yes FT !
Good…hope the arse on FB who was calling for McCann to be sacked at HT is feeling suitably stupidly now. I despair.

I hate to say it, but on this season's form, that is game over. This team does not come back from going down in a game. COYR, prove me wrong!!!
Do you ever have anything positive to say? Well this team came back today!

Nothing like a late winner in the FA Cup, here's hoping for a home draw.

We’re not allowed a home draw

No shots on target against league 2 opponents, not good enough I'm afraid.
15 shots 7 on target not bad for game against a league 2 opponent. It doesn’t matter what the score and stats say at half time it what it says at full time that really count.

Some of the posters on here should be embarrassed, so negative and the game was only halfway through.
We were very good today, it could easily have been 1-6 but the two goals were all we needed.
