TLOD V Bromley

[Barmby Rover]

Game over, all but. We are going to get in trouble unless Rovers get the shooting boots on again.

[Peebles Rover]

It’s painful isn’t it being a rovers fan!!

[dknward2]

5 minutes extra time is about 10 too few, mind you still struggling to shoot on target

[BobG]

How will we do at Valley Parade.....?

[dknward2]

Play like this then lose

[IDM]

Play like this then lose

I’d like to think that if we have 22 shots again, some will go in.!

[Peebles Rover]

Ffs, are we just not good enough?

[bpoolrover]

Have to be much better at times were so predicable

[Plumbster]

You can’t fault the effort and we deserved at least a point but it’s the complete lack of guile that makes it painful to watch and why both Bromley and Harrogate have coped pretty comfortably. We still haven’t got the midfield right and desperately need a quality loan in January.

A lot of those were shots from either just or well outside the box. We didn’t create much in the way of quality chances today.

[Barmby Rover]

That puts a big puncture in our hopes for Saturday. Bradford will not be  as ineffectual as Bromley were tonight, and if we can't score from open play we are sunk, because their performance from corners/free kicks is dreadful

[Tommy A]

Ffs, are we just not good enough?

No we're not.

[ScillyRover]

Utterly dominant and some good play but until we manage to put teams to the sword as a result of that dominance we will not be challenging at the top as Grant eludes to.
Would have liked to see Billy and Joe together again in this game.

Like the idea of let's keep chipping the ball into the box against a team of 7 foot giants, or molys low corner to the foot of the 1st defender

Only players to come out of the game with any credit in Olowu, McGrath and Kelly

And 1 up front at home is a terrible tactic

[Plumbster]

Tbf I thought Hurst looked bright

[dickos1]

That could easily have been 4 - 1
Not our best performance but we’ve played worse than that this season and won.
Just one of those nights

Cmon on dickos, how could it have been 4-1. We didnt really look like putting them away.
Same tactics all game of going wide and chipping into the box which they will be laughing at us for that, played into their hands.
We had zero creativity.

Bromley will be down there at the end of the season. An absolute dire result

[dickos1]

I disagree
We should’ve been at least two up by the time they scored!
And in the second half we missed two or three chances that we should be putting away

[NickDRFC]

Could just as easily been 0-3. The chances where their lad blazed over early on and TSL’s excellent save through the crowded penalty area were better chances than anything that we created.

[DonnyOsmond]

Today was a Sbarra/Hurst game from the beginning, not Clifton. McCann keeps playing Clifton when he knows we're gonna have the ball in their half and need to break them down, it's a rookie move.

The save TSL made was only equal to 3  their keeper made and he made two much better saves, one down to his right from 10 yards out was an outstanding save
So I’m not sure what game you’ve been watching

[dknward2]

Sounds like McCann has lost it with them in the dressing room, question them about the final 3rd and even mentioning January in the presser afterwards

Maybe he should question why he left out sbarra.
A player he fetched in to be our creative midfielder who can unlock defences with his passing. Instead we went with the usual tactics of feeding it wide and lofting balls into the box.

When it needed a change in dynamics, there wasnt that player there. Instead he had broadbent and yeboah
