Harrogate V TLOD

[ScillyRover]

Was that a McGrath o.g?Looks like he slid in and pinged it into the goal?

[Scooter]

I feel sorry for the fans who have travelled

[ScillyRover]

Poor defending for both goals and we are lacking sharpness up front ( no pun intended)

[RoversInSpain]

Was that a McGrath o.g?Looks like he slid in and pinged it into the goal?

Think McGrath got a foot in and it then deflected off the forward and rolled in.

[Filo]

Bollocking required, and Gibson needs replacing

[anton123]

Keeper bottled it should have slid in for all and wiped all three out

Difficult to tell but he either put it in or put it on off their lad’s knee.

[DonnyOsmond]

They're allowing us the ball in areas that can't hurt them and defending well then breaking. They've done a good number on us. The ref hasn't given us much though.

[RoversInSpain]

Hopefully puts to bed that possession stats are a complete load of b*****ks

[colincramb]

Ffs, we’ve thrown this away with a flat track bully attitude. Get an early goal and I’m still confident we will take something from this

[DonnyOsmond]

Maybe could do with Olowu on to stop their counters.

[Metalmicky]

TBF, we haven't been the best in the final third and look a little short of ideas.
Harrogate have hardly had the ball are v.lucky to be 2 up.
Let's see how much we want this.....

[StocksArmy]

Gibson has got to go off and I can’t be the only one who thinks Close kills our midfield. Lack of aggression, lack of urgency. No wonder our fans think he’s ace because all he does is play the way he’s facing which is either sideways or backwards. He never wins the ball back, it’s always another player or the opposition lose possession. The sooner McCann realises it the better.

[ScillyRover]

GM will be livid at that performance. Be interesting to see where the axe falls in subs for the second half.

[Thorney]

How many subs we reckon grant will make?

[rover-n-out]

From what I can see, Gibson having a mare, crosses are way too overhit, wasteful and getting caught in possession resulting in their breakaway for the first goal, Sterry has been crap, just let's their man get crosses in whenever he wants without closing him down and making a tackle. Midfield at times is wide open with acres of space and not a Rovers player in sight. We seriously need some pace in this side, Anderson and McGrath were huffing and puffing trying to catch March. He wouldn't have got away from Olowu.
Come on Grant we need a much better second half from you.

[ScillyRover]

Anderson like a tortoise in attempting to get back for their second and a poor effort at a clearance for their first. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Joe replace him.

[Barmby Rover]

Well, a rocket from Grant needed. It’s not over yet.

I hope you're right and 'I'm wrong, but....

[ncRover]

Could have done with Westbrooke on the bench

[goalkick]

 Not much for their goalkeeper to have to save.changes needed at half time.

Close has been cack

[Jersey Rover]

This game made for Ironside. You need a target man up front winning free kicks and an aerial presence. Billy as good as he is, isn’t that. Go two up front, get that next goal, Barrow all over.

[Thorney]

Anderson like a tortoise in attempting to get back for their second and a poor effort at a clearance for their first.

That 2nd is all on mcgrath for me. Gallops forward and plays a shit ball that gets pinged straight back down the middle.

[Metalmicky]

I'm not sure anyone had a 'mare' - there were wrong decisions made and Harrogate had everything fall their way.  PMA guys - it's not done yet.

[Jersey Rover]

Nothing wrong with McGrath going forward, just need someone from midfield to backfill his space. Lack of communication.

[normal rules]

Rovers bossing all the stats except the important one .

[ncRover]

Yeboah on for Sharp will be the next change

[ChrisBx]

Couple of chances there. We're still in this!

[Barmby Rover]

Commentary now not working for the second half on Rovers +, anybody the same?

[ncRover]

Nope Hurst for Close… any idea on what formation we’re playing now?!
