v Bournemouth (a) - 11/12/21

[Miker]

Wow! What a let off. Well done Pears!

[Tugay-is-God]

Pears again! 

What a blow that would've been to concede before half time.

Pears has been a giant this half.

 

[booth]

Brilliant save by Pears to deny them AFTER injury time. Referee gave them a full minute more.

[Exiled_Rover]

What's Parker bitching about at half time?

[oozy]

Feel Brero could have done better earlier for a possible 1 on 1, but that Solanke 1 on 1 should have been finished. Well done Ainsley!

[Gav]

Brilliant by Pears

[BigBar]

That was a hard watch last few mins..was desperate to go in with the lead.. super from Pears...

[moerpho]

Another good save from Pears. This half should do wonders to his confidence. Great half! Now 15 mins to have a cig and slowly realize Rovers is a “one half team”. We won the first half….now let’s hope we draw the next. COYB!!

Not the added time the referee gave them that's for sure.

[WacoRover]

MotM candidates so far- Pears, Lenihan

[Feed the Yak]

As others had said great performance so far by Pears who looks a lot more solid than he did last season, long may that continue. 

Perfect away performance so far. 

[simongarnerisgod]

former pne ****house pearson credited with the own goal😆

[TheRoversReturn]

Amazed there was only one goal in that half, tbh.

[yankfan]

Great to be up one at half, mostly defended welll. Khadra could have been better with his chances…not sure we will be able to keep Bournemouth out for the full 90

[joey_big_nose]

Pears has been exceptional. Good on him, I'd totally written him off.

Goal was surely offside I think? But saw some saying it was an own goal?

Apart from the one chance right at the end our defence has been excellent. I really love the balance of the side.

Looks like we can score more on the break. As someone else said I'd like to see Gallagher at some point.

[booth]

Still third in the table but looks like West Brom have done everything but score in their match.

Pickering surely.

Good save by Pears v Solanke but it was a poor finish TBH

Up to 3rd as it stands at the half!

I have to say I have really enjoyed our defending of late. Quality stuff, this

[Blueandwhitemike]

Not too sure about Buckley false 9 again although we are one up and have had a couple of other half chances I can't help but feel the Bournemouth pressure will tell if the second half is the same. 

I see the logic of trying to catch them on the break but we have spent a lot of time with almost 11 in our own half and too many times just lumping it. 

We have had the occasional good pass, like Rothwell through to Brereton which created one of the aforementioned half chances but I do think we need to change things a little to push them back.

Own goal bollocks.

It was an OG. Brereton hit the bar, rebound hit defender and went in.
