Bristol City (H) - Saturday 20th June - 3pm KO

[RevidgeBlue]

Reasonably encouraging first half.

Gallagher terrible as always, thought Brereton looked decent. Would like to see a lot more from Holtby.

Difficult to see how we'll ever do anything with that dolloper in the nets though.

Ben's got rid of those lead boots of his clearly.

He looks a threat when he's driving at them.

Graham on for Gallagher
Armstrong on for Holtby

If he makes those changes by 60 minutes we have a chance of nicking this.

Decent half the goal conceded aside.

The formation is absolutely barmy. Two strikers playing wide, a midfielder playing striker, a winger in central midfield, wingers playing both full backs. Mentle. Looked okay so far though.

[arealbrfcfan]

I think I we’ll end up winning this. Just. It’s a Barnsley type of game.

Brereton has had a kick to his step but not much he can do with that pace yet. It’ll come though

Bollocks JRC was a left back at Liverpool - he doesn't use his left foot at all. 

He played left-back when we played Liverpool in a friendly, using his right foot there too!

I think you may have read it wrong, JRC is a former Manchester United player, not a former Liverpool player.

Stewart Downing is a better CM than a winger these days. Played his best football at Rovers in that position. Needs to get a bit more involved second half though.

He's a shit keeper, isn't he?

Awful keeping. But Bennett should be playing at RB not going missing when he should be stopping a cross.

I have just missed 40mins of the first half ,i know it's not the end of the world but i was all set up and ready to watch the game .I managed to get back on without having to put the code back in hoping now i get to watch all the second half ...Would aslo like the camera man to either put a filter in his lens or put the lens hood on as it's to bright but i suppose thats to much to ask ..

Nah that's bollocks mate. I'd be fuming

Alter the quality setting and see if that helps (cog wheel bottom right of video player),

[Tugay-is-God]

Is there a reason Arma didn't start?

Seems pretty bizarre consisting he's been one of our best players this season. At least that's a big threat to come off the bench. 

[chaddyrovers]

Finally got the ifollow working after 20 mins. Very unimpressed by that. 

Walton poor for 1st goal.

Rovers doing well but not creating enough going forward.

I’d change Downing for Arma. Barely touched the ball

[Fraserkirky]

How infuriating was that Brereton break away? Typically Rovers, slow everything down to canter. Boring

I agree. In isolation its a good repurposing of him. But it's remarkable that we have 6 of 10 outfield players not in their usual position.

[RevidgeBlue]

On the ifollow front my mate's son has linked his laptop up to their oled TV and it's a cracking picture. Not had any problemswith the feed at all.

Sympathy to everyone who's been having problems.

Pretty enjoyable half. Good save by their keeper from a decent low shot by Bennett, Lenihan missed a free header from six yards. Their goal was a combo of errors: Lenihan pulled out wide by his man, then Bennett came inside leaving their fullback(?) free to cross, then a crap attempt to palm it away. Brereton easily our best forward, need to see more of Holtby other than his mismatched boots and Gallagher’s control is absolutely hopeless.

[joey_big_nose]

Once it gets going ifollow is really good. I like the commentators and the pictures is pretty decent. But the challenge is always getting it to work.

I was at the time but feeling a little calmer now as i can now watch the game ..

[Tugay-is-God]

Oh Ben......

[moerpho]

Poor Ben!! 

[Exiled_Rover]

That sums up Brereton's career at Rovers. 

[Stuart]

Brereton just is NOT a striker. Can’t blame this fans this time.

[Tugay-is-God]

Never a foul.
