Swansea vs ROVERS - 23/10/18 19:45pm

Good first half, hope we can continue it in the second half and there are no dramas.

[Fraserkirky]

Boy on ifollow thinks Swansea have on top. Must be watching a different game.

I think we have dominated and it must be our highest possession stats of any half so far. 

We solid as.

Jack Rodwell is quality

 

[joey_big_nose]

Have to say we look a solid well balanced unit.

Wouldn't mind seeing Rothwell get some game time second half.

Not sure who will would take off though. Everyone's done their jobs.

 

[Trinidad Rover]

Martin Olson is still a quality player - their main threat up to now.

Solid half from Rovers - let's concentrate and finish the job.

[Bigdoggsteel]

We need to come out and go for a goal I feel. They have quality in the attacking areas, we would did well to hold them out as we did Bolton. 

This would be an enormous result. 

Fingers crossed

We look so organised and hard working without the ball 

This 100% Dack is putting a shift dropping back too and trying to carry the ball away, in turn drawing the free kicks to ease a bit of pressure.

Bell having a great game, was saying to a guy I’m watching it with that he’s looking more attacking then bang he wins a penalty. He’s also looking good at the back and seemingly not getting to sucked into the centre as much.

Smallwood for me player of the half! He’s winning balls, keeping it tidy and just going about his game well. Impressed with him today so far.

Celina looks a threat on the ball, Reed needs to get tighter to him.

Whatever happened to the other Olsson brother?

Very solid half. Can't recall Swansea creating anything of note. They look bereft of confidence and we look full of energy. Hopefully that doesn't fade as the second half goes on, and potentially sit deeper.

They’ve got a lovely first touch passing game without real pace on the flanks as such. As good as McBurnie is he’s not fast fast.

He's at Derby with a long term injury.

[Scotland1]

Anyone else think Sir Elliott was lucky with the yellow?

 I personally think Evans and Reed have done better. Overall everyones is doing fine. Graham and Dack are havin a quiet night so far thou

Ya, Smallwood is doing Trojan work in there.

Definitely agree with Graham, think Dack is just getting to deep so his attacking game suffers and we don’t notice him as much.

Evans looking good, tackling well, Reed for me is the quiet one but hey! Amazing how we see the game differently!

Are you saying it should have been red?

Mulgrew on yellow too - needs to be careful.

I thought they same, as did the lads on commentary. Seems an odd sub. 

Hopefully 

[Gogger]

No idea why Arma and and Reed have switched side. Really under the gun now..

[jim mk2]

J Rhodes equalised for Norwich v Villa.

Rovers in 4th place as it stands

[mr bishi]

Some shocking tackles getting thrown in by our lot.

A daft challenge but looked worse than it was. The Swansea player made it look like Bennett had taken a sledgehammer to his shin. 

[trueblue]

We need to dig in... Swansea on top at the mo

[AdamRochina]

swansea all over is now at the minute, come on rovers!!
