v Birmingham (h) - 18/12/21

[yankfan]

We do look dangerous going forward even when we have been a bit sloppy in our passing

[OldEwoodBlue]

3 points off top. LOL.

[Tom]

GET IN

Stunning stuff from Nyambe and a great finish 

[davulsukur]

Bucky o' hare! 

You beautiful bastard!

[AspRover]

North of 40 points, safe from relegation yet?

Lenihan is in the mood

LoL

What an amazing team; & TM looking like a genius. I don’t want to wake up 😂

[moerpho]

Just hope we can "do a Burnley" : no injuries, next to no rotation and keep grinding out results. 

[booth]

Wharton, so close.

[WacoRover]

Rovers chat watchalong, our host has half blue, & half white beard. Beautiful! 

[yankfan]

Is that not a pass back to the keeper? 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Very subdued home crowd...wake up folks!

[yankfan]

Kaminski kicks the pitch instead of the ball and nearly gives them a chance. 

[moerpho]

Nyambe having one of his better games - Ben largely invisible...but only one team on the pitch at the moment. Just waiting for one more goal despite Brum almost scoring a freak goal. Kaminisky must be bored out of his mind this half! 

[booth]

Birmingham hit the bar with a long range effort - would have been such a bullshit goal to concede as it's all Rovers.

[Exiled_Rover]

First foul of the game by Rovers and it's a yellow card.

Meanwhile their Serb in midfield has committed 3 petulant fouls and got nothing. 

[Gone to seed]

Poor from Rothwell there, and Buckley a bit rash, and picking up an unnecessary booking.

 

Crowd looks a bit thin. Not malnourished. Just not many there..

I'm one of three fans staying away due to COVID. We won't be the only ones. We're regulars otherwise. 

[Paul Mellelieu]

So far, so good.

[moerpho]

Great first half despite drunk refs. Should have scored one more, but this was  a really solid half. Betting Ben getting on the scoresheet 2nd half. 

[Miker]

Performance has deteriorated rapidly since the goal. Players need to wake up and the crowd seems a bit pathetic tbh - we're sitting in 3rd as it stands, 1 point off the automatic spots at the halfway point of the season, and the crowd feels pretty dead.

 

[Exiled in Toronto]

Considering Brereton has touched the ball three times and Rothwell just taken corners, this has been a very dominant performance so far. It’s clear Brum think Bucko is the man to stop. Also interesting that Nyambe has been relieved of throw-in duties.

We’ve been sloppy passing in the attacking third all game. The goal just masked it for the first 15 min.
