Cardiff fans singing 'same old English always cheating ' that's a new one 

[BankEnd Rover]

Ohashi has been unreal, Travis and even Hedges not far behind...Tronstad having a poor game.

First time in a long time I awoke not excited on gameday. I didn’t even check the score until 33’.

Good first half that. Should be 2 or 3 ahead. Hope we can keep it up 2nd half. Would be nice if Ohashi got a goal for all his hard work. My only worry is Pears.

[Penwortham Blue]

Played some really good stuff but once again, just not clinical enough. A fantastic team goal but we should have this game safely in the bag but for missed chances.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Good first half.

It’s been a game worth watching so far.

We’ve been great today, Cantwell still makes things tick even if he’s been a little wasteful twice he makes things happen, Ohashi has been class and Hedges really upped his game 

Pears is an idiot, twice in one move should have held the ball then when clearly the ref is warning him he continues to waste time for an obvious booking

I concur with all of that. 

Rovers thoroughly outplayed Cardiff and should be more than 1 up. 

Pears does some daft things. His slide then parry, a booking for timewasting, and more than one ball to nowhere. 

[davulsukur]

Good half, great goal as well. 

Loads of good performances in that half. Same again in the second! 💪

[joey_big_nose]

Great first half just like Stoke but we got the goal.

Travis has been very very good. When hes on song he is beginning to look one of the best midfielders in the division imo.

[Devon Rover]

Good performance in that first half. We should have scored again when they were totally on the ropes. Will need a second but, so far, Rovers would deserve the win. 

PS Is Pears really as stupid and as useless at kicking a football as he seems?!

Must admit that I couldn’t really understand why he didn’t collect the ball with both hands rather than using the one hand to parry away when he came racing off his line with the striker coming through.

Let's just hope JE doesn't go all defensive second half 🤞

Yep, he’s been excellent. The commentators have been impressed with him too.

[Devon Rover]

Meite immediately making our centre backs look like kids

For all the talk of Cantwell being class, I’m yet to see him having a match winning performance. You look at Szmodics, Dack, etc who had the ability to win games in their own. I don’t think Cantwell has shown anything like that yet, he’s very good at clipping the ball from side to side under no pressure but has had little positive impact in the areas where it matters for me.

 

 

Honestly don't get this critique.

Has created plenty of chances over the last half dozen games. Not his fault we miss them.

That said he's been slightly wasteful today in the final third but played his part in the goal we did score.

What the fuck was that from Batth

FOOTBALL
