Title: Hands up if at Half time ...
Post by: Donnywolf on December 04, 2017, 11:22:43 am
... or just before Half Time you cast your mind back to the MK Dons game.

They could / should have gone in 3-0 or even 4-0 up whilst we had turned in "a nothing half". Poor should cover it !

Yesterday we could have done the same 3-0 up even if we had taken half the chances that came our way and they had not been as poor as we were v MKD.

I was "nervous" to say the least and with 17MB having to go off at Half Time my trepidation increased and for the 15 minutes or so after HT I was "more worried" but eventually we got going and ran out deserved winners.

Well done Rovers - kick on from here ! :scarf:

I put in the lucky pint thread that I hoped we might not regret making our dominance pay

If we had of conceded in those 10 mins before half time or 15 mins after there is no doubt in my mind we would have been beat,but we didn’t.we dug in and then finished strong and were worthy winners

Much credit should be given to Rodney as well.
I said at half time that although he is a good player going forward, his defensive duties leave a bit to be desired.
However, credit to the lad, he played a bit deeper than he has done in the past and helped mason out when needed.
He still found time to get behind them a couple of times too and got good crosses in.

The only header he won was the most important one, in our box and got some sarcsstic cheers from the South Stand 😀

Yes, it took him a while to get into the game. Seemed a bit half-hearted with his attempts at aeriel challenges but got one right when we needed it. Looked a threat going forward too.

If we are to keep him after January, then he would be ideal to play in Copps position (we can't keep relying on JC).
