I'm a bit confused. When I hear "come on Rovers" I can't tell if that's the Bristol fans...

too ponderous and slow

this is a bit too much like Oldham away

 

spot on, it does remind me of oldham away to be fair, judging on the first half there is only one winner in this game,  hope for a big improvment in the second

I'm happy. It's 21°c.

[philipl]

Nobody got one on target yet but shots are 1-5

[Tom]

Could be 0-3

So lucky to be level at half time 

[Miker]

We must be top of the league for sideway passes.

H-T 0-0 , definitely a half of two halves, 3 decent penalty claims turned down for us

Just replayed the goal incident, from the angle of the camera it looks like their number 9 was in a offside position as the ball was headed which deflected of nyambe. Good call by the linesman as it seems there was only a couple of feet in it.

[Tom]

Whittingham out wide is as predicted a disaster, he is constantly leaving Nyambe with two men as he wanders inside time and time again 

How on earth did Mowbray see that as a good idea? Worrying 

[tugayislegend]

All mowbrays fault, should have played the same team as last game with same formation!

how many notable saves did their goalkeeper have to make? 

something better change

[McClarky]

What was TM thinking about with the side today.  He can’t make his mind up between Evans and Whittingham so just sticks them both in. Hope he realises this and fixes it at half time. You could tell after 2 minutes what kind of half that was going to be, we made such a slow start.

[G Somerset Rover]

This is a home Rovers performance off the back of a couple of away wins if ever there was one.

Pitiful. Sort it out Mowbray.

Both players have been awful today.

But thats just what they would expect, you are not functioning on the same intellectual plane as Tony.

It's a bit like the Gerrard Lampard conundrum....

 

Well.......er..... Almost!!!

[Miker]

Just replayed the ruled out goal... it looked like their number 9 was in an offside position when the cross came in.

[Blueandwhitemike]

 

We started ok, there were a couple of decent bits of play around their box but after the bizarrely disallowed goal we lost confidence and they took over.

Quite a few have looked poor and predictably Whittingham out wide has been ineffective.  Not to say Antonsson has been much better but our better play has come down the left.  

I'd expect to see Bennett on immediately, an absolute must in my opinion.

Nuttall hasn't had great service but he's not looked great, snatching at one and he's lost the ball a couple of times.  It might not be too long before we see Samuel or Graham.

In fairness how was anyone to know Evans would last 45 minutes. Tony probably thought he would be injured after 5 minutes and then he could take him off.

The sooner Mowbray gets Evans and Smallwood off the pitch the sooner we will get a grip on this match.

Hmmm. Unfortunately  Chapman is injured. If you want pace Bennett is definitely not your man. That said, no idea why tinkerman TM has messed about with a winning (x2) line up.

[West Yorks Rover]

Should be I up, Dack should have scored there.
