Wouldn’t have minded seeing how Lokilo does from the start but other than that pretty happy with it.

Quick question to ifollow watchers, what is your picture quality like? someone mentioned the other week that they cast HD to their tv, the stream on my PC is nothing near HD.

Need to time runs better, caught offside 4 times already.

This has the same feel as the Shrewsbury game, Rovers not pushing and dominating, not good.
Title: Re: MK Dons v Rovers
Post by: Copps is Magic on March 07, 2020, 03:25:27 pm
They've had three fouls now that were clear yellow cards. Dieng has been caught on the ball twice already. Way too casual at the moment.

Its awful. So far. Let's hope.they can put it together

Ennis is 10% of the player he can be, out on the wing. Its been so blindingly obvious the last 3/4 games.

And we've got better wingers.

I wonder what Taylor has done wrong to be out of the picture for so long, the same can be said of Copps as well

Post by: Barmby Rover on March 07, 2020, 03:36:00 pm
I reckon we might get away with playing 13 on the pitch, so long as we pay the ref enough! It would make life a little more interesting.
Title: Re: MK Dons v Rovers
Post by: Barmby Rover on March 07, 2020, 03:38:11 pm
Cole off, push Ennis as a lone striker and put Lokilo on. We need more pace to hurt them.

Good game at Lincoln, 2-2 already.
Title: Re: MK Dons v Rovers
Post by: i_ateallthepies on March 07, 2020, 03:41:51 pm
I know you mean pace on the wing but If pace is what's required we're not going to get it keeping Ennis on.  Cole is far and away the pacier of the two striking options.
Title: Re: MK Dons v Rovers
Post by: Barmby Rover on March 07, 2020, 03:44:19 pm
I wouldn't say so. I would be more inclined towards Ennis to get on the end of good crosses. Both very good though.
Title: Re: MK Dons v Rovers
Post by: Copps is Magic on March 07, 2020, 03:46:19 pm
Best chance of the game for rovers, good build up play, excellent cross from Amos, header couldn't be directed downwards.

Ban shaking hands before the game but then the refs telling Wright to help their player back up is a bit daft.

That has been a very poor half of football.  It can only get better.

refreshed and the stream has improved, maybe it changed the aspect but the sound is better too.

Agreed bfyp, MK are shaking off our markers too easily and finding open spaces

Not much to talk about at MK Dons seemingly, but Billy Sharp has scored again for the Blades.

And we've got better wingers.

His rate of goals has been much better recently though, so it's not like it hasn't worked for him individually or for the team.

I don't think he's a very good lone centre forward personally.

the stats don't give the true picture of the first half, if I hadn't watched it, from that the teams look even

I think he looks much better at centre forward and offers more there, admittedly he has been more effective in terms of his goal scoring.

He needs to be careful just been books and immediately fouls again.

Rovers just look so much more of an attacking force with Sadlier /Taylor on the wings, its pulls defenses all over the place.

It'll probably need a month of persisting with his preferred players (like with CJ at left back) before Moore gives in to the obvious and plays the best eleven.

Very welcome 3 points on the road today.!

Its between the top 9 to secure a place in the end of season top 6, I reckon.  Can't see Ipswich scoring enough goals or Gillingham putting a run together.

Post by: big fat yorkshire pudding on March 07, 2020, 05:30:49 pm
Second half was much better.  It was obvious Taylor on the right would cause problems and Moore got it spot on bringing him on.

Defence very good again. Not a classic but wins are what we need right now, we need a big run of wins let's hope we have started one.

I only managed to get back in time to start watching a few minutes before the goal so never saw that. At least it shows that the players do take things on board.
