 Bell having a good game 

Two very neat passes from left winger/forward Biniek for the first two goals against Leicester. I wonder if he'll make an impact this season. I see that he just turned 20 yrs old, so must be looking to push on into men's football soon.

U21s drew 3-3, came from behind three times.

3-3 and into pens, is the X/Twitter update from Rovers. Goals from Mafoumbi, Stritch and late equaliser from Leatherbarrow to take it to pens against Altrincham of National League.

I didn't think it went to penalties, I thought is was a group situation ?

Lost 6-5 on penalties.

Pens

Leatherbarrow - scored

Stritch - hit bar

Montgomery - scored

Tyjon - scored

Litherland - scored

Bell - scored

Powell - hit bar

 

Watched it on National League TV, good entertaining game, Rovers tired at the end and the raft of changes didn't help fluidity.  Bloxham was especially good before he went off late on.  Altrincham commentators were raving about him all game

Joe nuttall turning out for Altrincham. Saw the first half and had to go at half time. Gutted , sounds like I missed a good half and I didn’t know it went to penalties

Bloxham was the stand out player along with atcheson. The rest didn’t really impress me tbh. I’ve not been watching the youth since we had travis, Buckley and co playing . This team doesn’t seem to have anywhere the same quality and potential. Enjoyed the half though and will more than likely get back down to leyland to start going again on the back of it

Playing against opponents like these should do our young players the world of good.

Very promising, but seems strange he already has a sponsorship deal with Puma. For one thing, most Rovers fans haven't even heard of him yet, but it's also just very young for something like that. Hope it doesn't mess with his ego and he stays grounded.

Most of all, hope we can keep him long enough to see the benefit of producing him.

You know how this story plays out.

This stream quality is pretty shite although seems to be getting slightly better last few mins.

[bluebruce]

Benfica 1 up. Could barely see the goal, the stream is utterly dreadful. I'm guessing the wifi at Stanley's stadium is trash.

[bluebruce]

Leonard equalises. I think it was a good goal, but hard to tell with this stream tbf. From what I can see (I only have it on in the background tbh because it's unwatchable mostly) we are probably fortunate to be level. Benfica have hit the bar and about a minute before Leonard's goal they nearly caught the keeper off his line from long distance (centre circle ish I think).

Stream seems to have gone off completely now.

[Tugayisgod]

Shrewsbury v Exeter it is then on Sky.

That was a complete waste of time. Embarrassing

The commentator did say he thought it was the wifi at the stadium. Since it's not our stadium, I'm not embarassed if that's the case. But it is a shame. Tbf I have something productive I'm supposed to be doing this evening anyway.

[bluebruce]

Ended 1-1. Don't think the stream came back.
