Watching their goal again confirms what I thought initially - it's Pears and Hyam being shit.

It's good build up play by them - Carter does his job and tracks his man (who backheels it to Anthony). Brittain does his job and tracks his man, forcing him to put in a cross at pace with his 'wrong foot'. 

It's Hyam marking air(he only had one attacker to track) and Pears letting a header from 8+ yards out that hits the middle of the goal go in. Criminal. 

Half decent keeper would have saved that easily.

Should be 2-1 no matter how poor we've played.

Don't disagree - but we have to perform infinitely better second half.

Brittain putting it wide.

Half decent defenders cut off the move at source.

Wow ref letting nothing go. Some of the experiences prem referees let some of these go first time rather than straight into the book. So stupid 

guarantee they won’t make a big call against Burnley tho

We have to be careful here, we're getting booked for everything.

[Tom]

Another great ball from Gueye his all round centre forward play is brilliant, understand if you want him just for goals you are likely to be frustrated but he’s class 

Daft from Brittain 

[ItsRoverZ]

What minute will our first red card be??

Sadly I don't think we can with that keeper and defence... And referee.

[Crozzy]

Surely that’s a yellow for foster if all ours have been

[Mike E]

Pears is a coward, should’ve come out for that

[Exiled_Rover]

Why isn't that a booking for Foster? From behind, Weimann breaking on the counter.

You can't book our players for minor infringements and then let theirs off. 

[Tom]

By the standards the ref has set himself what’s the excuse for not booking Foster?

[moerpho]

Despite being a red card waiting (because of ref) Big Mak has been awesome today

No. Ref saying offside. Sky confirmed it. 

No, there was no signal from the lino, and the ref blew for the foul (obstruction) on their player, which is an indirect free kick, which appears to the uninitiated as off side as it is the same signal from the ref to restart play. Sky can cram it up their arse, as we all know they know fook all 🙂

 

[WacoRover]

Yellows, argh! I like our bench, I bet we’re about to get several subs. 

[booth]

Why isn't the ref booking Foster for a clear kick in the back of the legs?

[CambridgeRover]

How is that not a booking on Foster

[Tugay-is-God]

Gotta put that away...

[CambridgeRover]

Pears has to come out

[Crozzy]

Love that from Carter. Fuck off

[WacoRover]

Rovers, so close there…

[Exiled_Rover]

Weimann absolutely livid because Dolan shot rather than squaring it for a tap in. 

[rovers11]

We're gonna get a red card today. 

[booth]

How did we not score there?
