v Luton Town (h) 11/9/21

[TheRoversReturn]

Can anyone clue us in on what happened in the first half? Quite a few of the regular posters probably didn't get to see anything.

How did we play? Is Gally really up front or did TM get bored after 35 minutes and tell him to hug the touchline? Does Nyambe look fit and should we take Lenihan off as a precautionary measure?

Gally is indeed upfront Nyambe is looking very good and lenihan is lucky to still be on the pitch.

Mind you that's just from the tackle he was booked for never had much to do otherwise.

You have the season ticket same as me. As another poster informed me the game is in fact being broadcast internationally even though the EFL website says otherwise. That’s why we get the unauthorized country error.

The EFL announced yesterday that the game was selected / changed for overseas broadcast. no idea why as it was supposed to be the Blackpool game

Pain in the arse that they can do this at short notice when they have already got the subscriptions in for the ifollow feeds.

Way out of practice finding an alternative to rovers tv, no luck today

Back 4 looks solid, not much threat from Luton. Don't think any need to take Lenihan off just yet. 

Gally is playing up front but has been the poorest/quietest of the 3 attackers. Dolan and Brereton both quite lively and making things happen. 

Buckley has  been excellent again today. He's really turning into a bit of a box-to-box midfielder, putting in some crunching tackles all over the pitch, but also making things happen with his range of passing. He's going to have a great season IMO.

It's on Kayo Sports in Aus.

Clear dive from Dolan. 

[Miker]

That was a dive from Dolan for me.

The first 25 min were poor all around. Sloppy touches on both sides. Lenihan really should have been sent off.  Dolan looked lively when on the ball but generally didn’t produce much. The goal was a bit out of no where, blocked pass, found it’s way to Naymbe who’s cross deflected off two Luton players to land at Dolans feet. The second was a good bit of passing to get Pickering in position for a good finish. 
 

We were solid enough in back with the exception of Pickering getting beat for pace a few times. Midfield struggled to get a kick and forwards mostly chasing. Kaminski nothing to do.

Disallowed goal Luton.

Well onside too

He wasnt offside, think he pushed Ayala in the back 

[yankfan]

The way this is going, both sides will be lucky to finish with 9 on the pitch 

[Admiral Nelsen]

Brereton hits the post!

[bluebruce]

Our players need to calm down, getting silly cards now.

[CambridgeRover]

Brereton hit the post!!! Should he have scored it?

[Tugay-is-God]

BB unluckily to hit the post there, would've been a lovely finish. 

[SuperBrfc]

Brereton hits the post! There's no way we aren't going to see a red card the way this game is going.

Dunno, I'd like to see it again, one of the replays made me think the guy's leg clipped his.

Did well on the turn,hard luck

8th yellow 

Brilliant entertainment 

[bluebruce]

Daft yellow given to Lansbury then. Foul yes but BB clearly bought it. Think the ref is just trying to get everyone to calm down.
