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.

Thought our best chance was from Buckley winning the ball at half for the 4v3 that Diaz tried to bend in the far post. Thought that Diaz could have done better than that, but hard to second guess him at the moment.

I still maintain we would do alright in the premier league, there's just absolutely no space in a championship game compared to a premier league game 

[yankfan]

Going to be a long half the way this has started. 

[Paul Mellelieu]

I think we need to be a bit more positive than defending our penalty area.

[Bbrovers2288]

Allow them on to us we are asking for trouble this half

Feels like only a matter of time before we conceded.

[simongarnerisgod]

never a good idea to sit really deep

True but one half chance created from it only, let's hope he does it again and we can profit from it.

Agree….something needs to be done. Nervewrecking this….

Commentators on rovers tv still think the goal is Daiz’s. Keep saying he’s up to 18

[Fraserkirky]

This ref is pathetic

Won't be getting many "Buckley appreciated posts" tonight at this rate. Comfortably the worst player on the pitch today.

Eh wouldn’t agree really, breaking up the play Iv felt 

[moerpho]

Gallagher for Khadra…..an ok sub for once….

[Miker]

100% right sub to make - Gally for Khadra. Well done Tony! 

[booth]

Some desperate defending here, Gallagher coming on so I'm expecting even more desperate defending.

[yankfan]

Gallagher on for Khadra. Needed to get a hold up top and find a way out more consistently. 

[simongarnerisgod]

is dolan carrying an injury and being used sparingly

Not sure if Gallagher is the man for that.

A hard match to bring him back into too.

Been very quiet and last week too but some see what we don't 🙄

[Tugay-is-God]

Gally bailing us out at the back there!

[yankfan]

Gallagher with a sliding block in the back post to prevent a tap in. 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

WBA now 1 up, so fourth.

[davulsukur]

Bah, down to 4th.

[yankfan]

At this point it’s more likely we concede 2 than keep a clean sheet.
