Today’s team


COYR

That is a strong team with a less strong subs bench apart from Gibson.
Where’s Hanlan he not been part of squads recently is he injured, Grant said no one in medical room, have they had words ???

[Peebles Rover]

Presume it’s not screened anywhere?

[roversontheup]

I expected Tom Nixon to come back in.

[drfcsteve]

39 year old up front on his own with no one on the bench that can come on and replace him, and we’ve got no injuries. How’s it come to that.

[Spud]

Quiet in the Cheshire Inn atm....

I think the theory is for Olusanya to come on if Sharp goes off.
Not great bearing in mind hthe new lads form so far.

There is Olusanya ( I know, I know!) or how likely is it that somebody like Gotts comes on and bailey goes up there IF Billy is feeling it late on. I think that's a big IF.

The answer to that is the recruitment team and Grant made poor decisions when it came to Hanlan and Olusanya. None of those two can replace Billy unfortunately so we are stuck in this situation.

So that’s the strongest team we have minus Sterry

that’s about the long and the short of it. In no way shape or form am I calling for GM’s head but equally he shouldn’t be immune from criticism. And with this situation, he hasn’t really covered himself in glory. Roll on January to put it right.

[roversdaft]

We may as well set up with a false 9 if Sharp gets gassed.

These strikers off the bench (imposters) offer absolutely zero

[roversontheup]

Has anyone got the commentary on Rovers+?

[obeonesarover]

rovers player up to its usual standard, nothing for me no audio

[glosterred]

Has anyone got the commentary on Rovers+?

Listening to it on Radio Sheffield (DAB)



COYR

[Steadfast]

Nothing on Rovers+ either

[Barmby Rover]

A good start, lots of attacking intent

14 | George Broadbent powers forward and shoots from 20 yards with Crewe's Mickey Demetriou sticking out a leg to turn the ball behind for a corner

Crewe 0-0 Rovers


COYR

[glosterred]

18| So, so close to an opener for Rovers as Sean Grehan sends in a superb cross which Owen Bailey meets on the volley and sends his effort narrowly wide. Great attack

Crewe 0-0 Rovers


COYR

[glosterred]

21 | Big chance for the hosts as Tommi O'Reilly hits the byline and cuts the ball back for the on-rushing Owen Lunt who slams a first time effort narrowly wide

Crewe 0-0 Rovers


COYR

[glosterred]

25 | Big tackle from Crewe's Mickey Demetriou to prevent Billy Sharp from putting Rovers ahead

Crewe 0-0 Rovers


COYR

[glosterred]

30 | Goal....but no! Connor O'Riordan heads home from a Glenn Middleton free kick but the whistle goes for a foul. Still goalless

Crewe 0-0 Rovers


COYR

[ForsolongaRover]

I spend ages every time I try to sign in to Rovers + is a really badly designed process on a third rate website. I eventually got it to accept my signing in details and then I got nothing on "listen live". They completely ignore the criticisms and it is totally unprofessional .... and its just come through  - nearly half an hour late!!!!

[glosterred]

32 | So close to the opener for Rovers at the end of a brilliant counterattack. Luke Molyneux's delivery is flick on by Owen Bailey and drops to Glenn Middleton who side-foots wide of the far post

Crewe 0-0 Rovers


COYR

FYI

After a series of issues, our Rovers+ commentary feed for this afternoon's game at Crewe Alexandra has been restored.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused

[drfchound]

This first half reminds me so much of the Huddersfield game a few weeks back.
We are creating lots of chance but not putting them away.
I just hope we don’t suffer the same result as the earlier match.

[Barmby Rover]

Completely useless, I have stopped paying them due to their incompetence.

[glosterred]

40 | A yellow card for Matty Pearson

Crewe 0-0 Rovers


COYR

[Barmby Rover]
