[simongarnerisgod]

never thought id`e ever say this but they can`t live with brereton?

[islander200]

Another good game by Brereton

Yes, it is definitely a problem with iFollow on safari. Settings button doesn’t work. Works fine on Firefox

woeful finishing aside we look pretty good

Mowbray is absolutely screaming at Rovers to get up. "Hunt the ball" bellowing out from the touchline.

Did he really say that or was he swearing at Derrick again 

[SBlue]

Someone needs to get down Pleasington and sign up all these lads that are better than Ben Brereton.

We’ll be unstoppable.

Reckon this is the sort of game where you want Gallagher up top in the last 30 mins as  a target man as they sit in. If we can't use him in a game like this to get on crosses what is the point of having him in the squad.

[Stuart]

Very wasteful. Let’s hope it doesn’t come back to bite us.

[chaddyrovers]

Needs to take our chances. 

Douglas created chances with his crossing

[Fraserkirky]

Douglas crossing is something we haven’t had in years

[CD_93]

They all need heading practice with Douglas in.

[yellowsubmarine]

Hate to say it but this game is made for Gally. Looking at those crosses that comes in.

[SBlue]

Douglas could find a rovers head with his eyes closed.

[Cherry Blue]

Balls in by Douglas are good but we don't have the finishers.

[simongarnerisgod]

its raining decent crosses?

[Exiled_Rover]

Holtby would have a hat trick if he could finish.

[chaddyrovers]

Stats so far

[Bethnal]

Really interesting first half so far. JRC and Elliott on the right are essential for sides playing deep, can see it's just a little bit freer down there. Elliott is finding a lot of space well, but can see he's not quite up to speed with Championship football just yet, with first touch and speed of thought, but still encouraging. You'd hope it will come within a few games.

Concerning we haven't finished as well as we ought and a penalty is always a little fortunate, although Brereton has done enough to have at least earned that.

Lacking a bit of coordination in the back four and the ambition of Lenighan pinging ten yard passes is admirable, but perhaps a little unnecessary. Williams looks comfortable bringing the ball forward and depp-lying Cov are allowing him to showcase that. Question for any tactic buffs; are we technically playing a classic gegenpress at the minute, albeit without the jazzy centrebacks?

Giles on their left hand side looks a spirited and efficient footballer, could be a handful with JRC breaking forward and has been already.

Holtby is having such a good game which is weird considering he could have a hatrick

And so what? 

[Stuart]

I’m not a betting man but if I were I’d be sticking a few quid on 1-1.

[Mercer]

Frustrating we aren't capitalising - yet!

We should be out of sight.

Douglas offering what we thought he would and Brereton continuing, IMO,  to morph from donkey to footballer of talent.

Well stick a fiver on at 14/1 if that's what you feel!  That'll be £70 in your back pocket.

Don't say that I've got a Rovers and Reading double
