v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24

[yankfan]

We just have so many players that are really poor as often as they are decent

Other results going our way this weekend

A pity there’s another 45 minutes to go

[Bethnal]

Szmodics uncharacteristically poor with the ball in the key moment there. Notable purely for how rare it is.

[superniko]

Lots of results going our way at the half way stage 

[OsloRover]

Decent half that, Eustace seems to have managed to instill some fight into the team

[BigBar]

Content enough at half time. Keep the concentration up lads.

[BankEnd Rover]

Battled well…But really lacking any quality in the final third…

Results going our way but worried we won’t hold on.

[rovers11]

Our best half for a while but we haven't  posed any real threat. Boro look a bit leggy with lots of loose passes.

Could be a big day for us with other results going our way at the moment. We'll probably end up losing 1-0 though.

Cutting out suicide ball was the first step.

Buckley is utter gash. A nothing player.

Look a decent organised team for once, declined balls not dropping for us today and delivery from Pickering and Hedges letting us down. Pitch seems very slippy and Buckley not outstanding but if you look how many times he has bossed O’brien and won the ball back he is control middle of the park

[NeilInBristol]

0-0 

All to play for 

Come on rovers 

[simongarnerisgod]

big twenty minutes at the start of the second half,carrick will be getting into his players and i expect they`ll come out a lot quicker

[K-Hod]

Think we’ve looked alright enough, just lacking a cutting edge in the final third.

Some scary moments at the back, but with the players we have there, I’d say it’s to be expected tbh.

My thoughts too. In that context a point and a game less to play isn't a bad result for us. Of course said form over a whole season that'd be problematic but Rovers do like shunting issues into the next year...

He has had a decent game Buckley and to be fair, this has been our best half so far under Eustace. We look capable of scoring and date I say it, coming away with an unexpected win.

Us fans deserve that for sure, after the last few weeks, so hope we can do it.

Siggurdson awful again today

A blend of Ena, Martha and Minnie and there you have Siggy Hairnet

[Gordon Gekko]

Last minute koumutio diving header to win it

Other scores at HT going out way so far.

 

[NeilInBristol]

Sammie keeps producing even when the team don't look like scoring

If we can keep up the defensive performance I reckon he may nick us a goal

Was being very kind

[BigBar]

Brittain been brilliant today.

[B16Rover]

Lets get Ayari on for Buckley. 

 

After that I'm stumped, Dolan or Moran on?  Bit of fun and put Billy up top for the last 10

[NeilInBristol]

We need 3 but I'd take a point away from home. The away fans are immense
