Bristol City v Rovers. Wed 9th Dec. 7.45pm

[des]

Fairly good but we lack a bit of pace in midfield and the forwards need to keep the ball a bit better

[simongarnerisgod]

can`t complain about that half,we were under no pressure at all,seeing as we are always good for a goal im`e confident we`ll get one in the 2nd half

Borrowed a pals Sky Go Log In, happy days. (sorry mrs darrenrover but she tells me Corrie is well worth the watch) 🙄😇

Decent first half really, shame Arma didn't just dink his chance over the keeper.

We've nowt to fear, keep it tight at the back and kick on further up the pitch with a touch more adventure and inventiveness, and we'll win.

COYB!!

He is horrendous

Absolute waste of space

Don’t you have something more productive to do, like picking the fluff out of your navel.

[WacoRover]

Thanks for the comments; I have been at the Dr, so all I have to go on are what I’ve read here. 

No doubt, Tony well-pleased to have 57% poss., & four shots on goal. Gotta get ‘em in, COYB! 

[Doug]

Trybul for gally, free up Rothy and Holtby a bit, and move Elliott closer to arma. No problem with gally, just think it needs a change of formation to release our attacking midfielders. 

[Paul Mellelieu]

An even half and some sublime play from Elliot.  Can't wait to see him in the flesh - what a wonderful, wonderful footballer.  With so many changes, no complaints from me.

[Angry_Pirate]

Enjoyable half from two decent teams. We haven't reached our (first 36 minutes) heights of Brentford yet which shows we have another gear to go. 

More concerning, yet another 3 or 4 examples to add to the "Armstrong is crap when tasked with creating the chances" montage. He just can't make the correct decision when he's not got a clear sight of goal.

Williams is about as rusty you'd expect, not fit, but doing a job. Need to see more from our midfield trio.

All to play for in the 2nd.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Pleasing game on the eye. On the face of it we were the best side... but that means nowt. We need to score or they surely will.

Too wasteful in attack, and too open at the back...

It's enough to cause a heart attack

Patience is a virtue (I hope!)

[philipl]

Bristol City playing dramatically better than in any of the bits of games I have seen of them this season.

Rovers not flowing the way we can. Not been Armstrong's best half by a long way.

A lot of room for Rovers to improve. We can't keep on letting them have chances- they won't always miss the target. At the same time we need to accelerate our play when in dangerous positions. 

[ben_the_beast]

Think out of the two sides we are the ones capable of going up a gear. Bristol chances have been more when turning over possession whereas we look like creating ourselves. Need to up the tempo second half as it is there for the taking 

[islander200]

3 points could be massive here with Reading losing 2-0 and Brentford drawing.Cmon lads

[chaddyrovers]

Good first half. We just lack a goal. 

Happy so far.

Have not been impressed with Douglas at all tonight

[davulsukur]

Bristol have come flying out of the blocks here.

You hum it, I’ll play it.

[Tugay-is-God]

Love Rothwell's confidence just to open his body and run straight at the opposition's defense these days. 

[SoldierMo]

Need rothwell to continue running at these

[SoldierMo]

Armstrong not involved at all
