Blackpool make five changes as well but all the players left out are on their bench.

Looks like he’s realised already that we can’t play our strongest 11 every game.

Would have thought he would have known that anyway? It’d not unreasonable to make the changes he made..

Quite surprised and a tad disappointed he's not at least retained some of those left out on the bench. Thought this was an ideal opportunity to get away from the pressure of the league and release the shackles a bit. Maybe, he thinks some players need a mental breather already.

Great chance for some players to show they are worthy of the shirt. COYR.

Think dickos is referering to Grant often saying he's not a believer in resting players and wants to pick the strongest 11 each time.

It’s not no,
But before the Scunthorpe game he said he didn’t believe in resting players and would always play his strongest side.
Which he did against scunny, but obviously he’s learning he can’t do that with us at the min

Particularly given the game coming up on Saturday where I'm sure GM really would want to field his strongest side

How we doing..?

DonnyBazR0ver · « **Reply #9 on** August 28, 2018, 08:00:02 pm by DonnyBazR0ver »

Bit of an uncertain start but had 2 good breaks in recent minutes. Not heard Rowe's name mentioned until a penalty shout in the box.

Alan Southstand · « **Reply #10 on** August 28, 2018, 08:02:18 pm by Alan Southstand »

Why have we got 3 juniors on the bench when we have 5 first year pro’s?

Extremely questionable!

DonnyBazR0ver · « **Reply #11 on** August 28, 2018, 08:06:54 pm by DonnyBazR0ver »

Golden chances missed by Taylor. Good save from keeper then stabbed wide apparently.

DonnyBazR0ver · « **Reply #12 on** August 28, 2018, 08:08:11 pm by DonnyBazR0ver »

Alfie May scores. Cracker apparently!

The darling boots of May

Get in,come on Rovers!

steve@dcfd · « **Reply #15 on** August 28, 2018, 08:11:55 pm by steve@dcfd »

Now let’s support him not get on his back.

Well done Alfie

Come on!!!! Wouldn't normally miss a game like this but on holiday and listening on iFollow whilst rest of family watching bake off!! Worried about the players missing but hope this team step up & grab a win and get a big team in next round (or Man Utd!).

Come on boys!

Precisely. Especially as Posh are out of the league cup already..

dickos1 · « **Reply #19 on** August 28, 2018, 08:21:01 pm by dickos1 »

Yeah I agree
I’d always rest players, just pointing out he said he wouldn’t

IDM · « **Reply #20 on** August 28, 2018, 08:22:20 pm by IDM »

Delighted for Alfie May - scoring is what he needs to add to bring that extra quality on top of his work rate..

Bum. Bit of controversy as it looks as though ref was going to send Anderson off for attempting to save the ball going in with his hand... But only given a yellow!

LincsRover · « **Reply #23 on** August 28, 2018, 08:31:17 pm by LincsRover »

Shocking decision! Surely red & penalty or goal? I can't think of a situation where goal AND yellow is appropriate! F*ck*ng clowns reffing in this league, hopefully it won't make too much of a difference unless Anderson gets another yellow! Learn the rules you f*ck*ng idiots!

Drover · « **Reply #24 on** August 28, 2018, 08:32:51 pm by Drover »

Is that the first time we conceded a goal in first half this season?

Metalmicky · « **Reply #25 on** August 28, 2018, 08:33:41 pm by Metalmicky »

Jermaine Anderson doing anything...?

Not really

DonnyBazR0ver · « **Reply #27 on** August 28, 2018, 08:37:55 pm by DonnyBazR0ver »

Not a lot by the sounds, giving possession away too cheaply and Blackpool coming at us with Spearing being allowed to dominate.

Commentators saying Taylor's had a mare missing 3 good chances to score. Alfie May doing his best to live off scraps but not getting much support.

H/T to regroup.

dknward2 · « **Reply #28 on** August 28, 2018, 08:38:47 pm by dknward2 »

No micky tbh a bit of Dave about him tries stuff but nothing coming off so far.

Taylor looks above average but should have scored, but we need to stop aiming for Alfies head as Blackpool defence are far to tall

Scooter · « **Reply #29 on** August 28, 2018, 08:56:24 pm by Scooter »

Their keeper picked up a back pass although it clearly came off Whiteman. Indirect free kick in the box wasted
