v Stoke City (a) - 27/11/21

[booth]

1 minute added time.

Had the better of them that half. We’re good enough for too 6 this year. 

[booth]

Half time.

Stoke are going to be a tough nut to crack but Rovers better team.

Rovers not putting their sometimes shaky looking defence to the sword.

[Miker]

Boring game. Neither team able to make a meaningful breakthrough so far. We’ve marginally been the better team so far.

Not sure if we need to change anything, but Brereton and Khadra not working up top right now.

[yankfan]

Let’s hope that wasn’t our good half.

Seems a bit unjust that Stoke have moved up to 5th.

[superniko]

Rothwell is the best player on the pitch. Overall we’re the better team and they don’t look much danger so far.

45 mins v Stoke and not a long throw to be seen. Strange times.

Weve looked much the better side without really looking like scoring.

Spare man is often Nyambe but he's lacking the quality delivery. Moving Buckley right wing back and bringing Dolan on makes a lot of sense to me.

Rothwell, Wharton, Brereton all looked decent. Stoke been limited to a few long range crosses.

Stoke will likely be better second half so I hope Rovers can step up accordingly.

Alternatively Davenport on for Nyambe, move Buckley right wing back and play Rothwell in the hole.

With Rothwell though I always feel he's at his best picking up the ball around the centre circle. In the hole doesn't really work for him.

Feels the sort of game where Dack would make a big difference.

I said the same but Dolan may well do the job.

As long as the core of Kam, Lenighan/Ayala, Trav, Rothwell, Buckley and Breo stay fit!

I like Nyambe but I agree he often lacks an end product / poor decision making in the final 3rd. It can be frustrating when he’s playing wing back…But if he improved there he’d be above our level.

2nd half….come on, Rovers! Give us an early goal!

[Gone to seed]

Travis continues to be bog eyed. Good save Kaminski

[booth]

Went to sleep for a moment there, good save Kaminski.

[Wheelton Blue]

Get in

[chaddyrovers]

Khadra scores 

1 nil Rovers 

[booth]

Defence has gone to pot. Lost their shape. Ffs Rovers, from doing well to hanging on.

Edit: And then a goal 😀
