Literally hahah, sat in silence watching Hedges look out of place in our youth team.

I must say Edun isn't a good LB however he has great awareness of the game.

Markanday not touched the ball really 

agreed,edun is a shocking full back,he`s far better in the middle of the park

[rock steady]

1 - 0. looked like og after phillips won header from corner.

[simongarnerisgod]

1-1🤔

[WacoRover]

Bah that lead didn’t last long 

[rock steady]

1 -1. poor from pears beaten from 25 yards moved his feet in slow motion

Not been impressed by Edun so far in his Rovers career. Hopefully he can improve his decision-making going both ways.

Dundee giving it a right good go then.

Hedges did well when he broke in at the end of the season. Hopefully he will have a good season, pre-season games full of kids and trialists mean zilch, all a fitness exercise.

Hey, just saying what I see.

Wrong-footed by a pretty hefty deflection. Defence at fault as their player shouldn't have had that much time imo.

We're playing some good football, just not making it count up top really.

Pears is simply not a professional goalkeeper.

This is sort of my description of Hedges tbh... Nice on the eye sometimes but ultimately powderpuff and not threatening.

Thought he grew into the game, but in isolation agree.

Phillips been good, Wharton OK, Garrett and Vale careless in position.

Markanday - non existent.

Pears - go back to the Ismaithian league.

Barnes - steady

Wharton - looks classy on the ball.

Hedges - meh - league 1

But, that doesn't sound like him....

...when did he start moving his feet?

Think it must be his pay packet slowing him down - probably secure for life following, IMO, Mowbray's generosity and folly!

Vale’s not playing, so if he has the ball then good job him

Not just your opinion on that one. In fact I'd be stunned if anyone thinks differently

Very careless, he isn't even playing.

[rock steady]

My first time seeing Phillips. Doesn't really look out of place physically, but hasn't had a great deal of defending to do.

Is he known to be attacking threat from set plays? Won the header for the goal and almost got on the end of a cross before that.

[WacoRover]

Who is hurt?

 

 

[davulsukur]

Ash Phillips down holding his knee.

Fell awkwardly according to Rovers Twitter

Edit: he wanted to carry on but has been subbed as a precaution
