Brilliant half to watch - best for a while

It was all feeling a bit Bristol City away last season until the 2nd goal.

Get in. 2-0! 

Just putting it out there....are we playing better football since Dack got injured? 

Still have him back tomorrow though! 

A few have said that Dack's injury forces Tony's hand with regards to how we set up and play.

Big chance for Charlton, but a clear offside imo. Greta save from Walton though. This referee has money on this game for sure

Apparently our second was from a free kick that never should have been 

[joey_big_nose]

A perfect half

[imy9]

Can we give Super Stewie Downing Player of the year now. What a signing he has been. 

[simongarnerisgod]

in the 2nd half brereton will come on run charlton ragged,bag  a brace and jump into the away end

[Tom]

Walton seems to be making more of these big saves recently, certainly feels less shaky than he was at the start of the season 

[Husky]

Oh oh. Walton down.

[Fraserkirky]

Taylor is unconscious here

[m1st]

And the lovely thing is how our goal difference is gradually increasing.

Now up to +10; could make all the difference between 6th & 7th place at the end of the season.

We already gave it him a month ago

Even if chalked that off. Then they can’t hide from the fact we should be playing 10 men with a penalty. Swings and roundabouts. Iffy free kick vs nailed on pen/sending off not given. 

[Gogger]

What a half! Great to see both Buckley and Samuel contributing, didnt see that coming. A decent ref and we would be 3-0 up and Charlton ten men.

[moerpho]

Brilliant half! Should also have had a penalty and a red card for Charlton, but firing on all cylinders despite the ref, injuries, the weather and whatnot.

In more joyous news Bolton 1-0 down at home after their defender tried an overhead clearance into his own face and into the net 

I need a Brerogoal to wrap today off

Tosin ?

[Exiled in Toronto]

Best first half of the season for me. Everyone playing really well with special shoutouts to Walton, Johnson, Buckley and DomSam

[Fraserkirky]

This is all coming from the strength of the back four right now, look a solid unit. Lenihan has been immense first half. Playing Downing more central is a master stroke.

[joey_big_nose]

Absolutely sensational half again. Charlton limited to only one decent chance which Walton made a good save for.  2-0 minimum we deserved.

Samuel looks a better bet than Gallagher to me. Back five all excellent, particularly Nyambe and Lenihan, Travis and Downing also great. Not seen much from Armstrong, Buckley has been quiet except for an excellent goal.

Edit - also the front four are rotating very fluidly, tactically looking very good.

Good half but weve been assisted with the wind in the same way that they will be second half. Have to make sure we dont mess this up now. Been on top but bailed out by a couple of superb Walton saves. I think the Samuel incident could have gone either way. Buckley lucky with the deflection but his overall performance has been by far his best in a Rovers shirt. Downing is a class above. 

[Pedro]

The passing and movement so much better today.

 

Walton has made superb saves too - so not all one way traffic.

 

I hope we keep at them 2nd half. I Don't like it when we try to sit back - that's when we are at our worst.

[Blue n whites]

Bell continuing his improvement. Along with Walton. Is Tosin our van dijk. He stays fit we are in with a shout for playoffs.

Looked a blatant foul to me.
