Tronstad the pick of the bunch, along with Dolan, probably.

Tronstad is too good for this league - he's a cracking player. 

[LDRover]

Looks a nailed on 0-0 now

[Upside Down]

Poor referee as per usual.

Didn't blow for the first foul then sends off yon mon.

[Tom]

Really boring half, think we’ve got it wrong today.

Hedges has been awful

Not gonna lie, I know that's hurt Batth but my initial instinct is that's no more than a yellow.

That's a leg breaker.

I think his games are numbered.. just waiting for Cantwell to be match ready. Him and ACD will be playing ahead of Hegdes hopefully

[superniko]

Let’s see if we’re any better than vs 10 at PNE. 
Get running at their RB too as he’ll be on thin ice. 
 

Gueye, JRC and Cozier-Duberry at HT for me I think - Cantwell later on if needed. 

[moerpho]

Actually think we will struggle against 10. We are not at our best against a settled defensive side. We’re at our best when counterattacking. Need someone like Cantwell to have a good performance to unlock a thight defense if he comes on 2nd half and lots of movement in the box. The brute force of Big Mak might help on corners etc., but we will also need some tactical changes from Eustace. Here’s hoping for a better 2nd half. Still undefeated. 

[Tom]

Travis seems in one of those moods that he’s more interested in the wind up than the game, I’d be tempted to hook him at some point.

Stats show a very even game.. disappointing considering we are the home side. 

Come on rovers 

This is our level, lower mid table. 

[AllRoverAsia]

Pawson will red a Rover.

He is as bad as it gets.

[Silas]

Theoretically, should be a lot different playing at home v 10 men, rather than away in a derby.

But last week doesn't give much confidence that we'll now coast to 3 pts. 

[Crozzy]

Watching replays of the red card, If you don’t think that’s a red card then you’re just as bad  as the PNE fans last week.

Travis nailed on for a soft second yellow

Tell you what’s funny. An advert for the third kit going round the advertisement boards, tried to get one for my Mrs in August and they said sold out till November 😂

It's crazy we are still having this issue. Was it the season before last that we had it the first time? There really shouldn't be supply or production issues from Macron anymore as there allegedly were at the time. From what I've heard they seem to prioritise clubs with bigger followings. Macron make very nice kits, but if we can't buy them there's not much point and the club is losing money.

A halfway competent CEO would have been suing them or ending the contract for this failure to supply us properly (and there'd be a clause in the contract to enable this). But of course we don't have a halfway competent CEO.

Someone needs to have a fucking shot at goal.

Good post. We lack creativity and as you say most of our threat comes from counter attacks. Heckingbottom mentioned after the PNE game how are the best in the division at it. 
 

QPR will just be happy with point one assumes. They’ve had no real threat with 11 on the pitch.
 

It will  be interesting to see what changes he makes. Eustace is by nature quite cautious in his choices.

Cantwell and ACD surely need to come on now.

Gueye, ACD and Cantwell should all be on at half time. Hedges has been crap.

Yep. Seen the highlights again. Hard to see it clearly but the ref was next to him. Think he was making up for making a serious error not giving Santos a red moments before. 

Agree I think he will "even it out" and give us a red. Stupid reff-ing

I think it was an absolute red in today's game. Lost control, lunged, over ankle height. It's the type that breaks your leg if your foots planted. 

[Angry_Pirate]

Agree with a lot of the above. The referee bottled the 2nd yellow card foul on thier RB, and then 5 seconds later shows a red anyway. 

Must take Hedges (and honestly Weimann) off now. He's had a stinker and is on a yellow.

2 of Cozier-Duberry, Cantwell and Gueye need brought on straight away. Eustace massively let us down last week playing too safe vs 10. This is a home game.

Cantwell coming on. Excellent. Should be Hedges.

Agree. 

Keep Dolan on though?

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Correct score 0-0 and Rovers to get a red card is 27/1, lump it on 

[Forever Blue]

Looks like Cantwell will be on soon

Yeah I’d hook him for JRC and Hedges for Cozier-Duberry - especially now we’re against 10

Gueye on for Weimann too.

Edit: looks like Cantwell is coming on
