They are all over us, our midfield is non existent, their left winger is ripping Blair a new one, the Lino on the West stand is blind and god knows why it wasn’t a pen and red card for deliberate handball. If we get to ht only 1 down it will be a miracle we don’t look as if we’ve played together as a team

Well only someone near the Burton dugout saw it because the ref gave the pen and the Lino on that side didn’t flag for anything

The ref is the closest to it, he saw a peno. The linesmen is second closest, he doesn't see anything other than a peno. But he takes advice from 4th official on half-way line??

We've been shit. Can't string passes together minus a couple of moments towards the end of the half.

Title: Re: Rovers v Burton
Post by: PDX_Rover on January 19, 2019, 03:55:05 pm
Watched it a few times on replay on iFollow. Think it was a Rovers hand that touched the ball.

We came much more into the game as the host wore on. Had a number of chances. Agree there was a high boot on Rowe for their goal.

Still believe we will get something from this game.

Exciting game if a little bizarre.
Title: Re: Rovers v Burton
Post by: drfchound on January 19, 2019, 06:04:25 pm
From someone who was at the game, Burton were worth their point for their first half performance.
They battered us for 30 minutes, we couldn’t get the ball.
We then settled into things and got a foothold in the game.
In the second half we were far and away the better team.
May didn’t miss a sitter at all, he got a good touch to a ball across goal and was inches wide.
Marquis did miss a sitter though after he went round the keeper and lifted the ball over the bar.
Smith looks to be a natural finisher, in the fashion of Sharp.
He did look to be offside for his second but as someone said earlier, the linesman seemed to miss five or six clear offsides throughout the game.
A draw was a fair result but as ever, it is always disappointing to concede a late goal.
It happens somewhere every week though, that is football.
