Now you are talking daft here.

I rated both unlike some on here

You don’t rate them anymore? 

[Tom]

Dolan and Gueye now with a combined distance of 10 yards for 2 free headers in last 3 games and neither hit the target!

Yes I rated them both still. I said previously I would give both new contracts 

[Aqualung]

A good advert for Walking football this. 

[RutlandRover]

Considering the run boro have been on we've done alright in the first 30 mins. I do think we're only a couple of players away from being not completely shit.

[Old Codger]

Rovers holding their own so far -not what I was expecting, to be fair. Dolan's 'header'. Doh Lan..

[Trinidad Rover]

Bloody hell Dolan.

We are crying out for a decent number 9.

Been decent so far but slowwwww game.

[Old Codger]

Dolan picks a pass, having done all the hard work of carving an opening... but it is a pass to nowhere and no one.

[Bethnal]

I like Yuki a lot. He’s extremely game, always looking to find space and be available. Constant pressing and workrate. All we ask for in blue and white

[Bbrovers2288]

Just never feel we win these scrappy , slow paced midweek red button games , can see a boro 1-0 with a 70+ min goal 

[davulsukur]

Boro can certainly play when they want to.

Did they spend a lot in the summer?

We don’t win midweek matches, so I’d say you’re about right. Our midweek away record is just pathetic.

Hard as nails too! I thought his leg was broken after that tackle but here he is.

Siggy take note….

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Dolan back heeling it, I'd keep my head down after that miss champ

A goal or two wouldn’t go amiss.

I think that we didnt play last weekend changes things a bit. More focussed. Usually we are so sloppy mid week but we look a lot more on it.

[RutlandRover]

At least it's not just Dolan who's shit at headers

[Trinidad Rover]

Know sucker punch coming here. Missing so many chances. The build up play has been good!

[booth]

How many years are we going to wait till we get a striker?

[chaddyrovers]

Boro missed a great chance. 

Rovers have more than good enough first half. I was expecting more Boro team with their recent form.

They spent £18m. £5M on Striker Conway, £4m on Hamilton.

[Penwortham Blue]

Played some decent stuff but just no goal threat.

[Tom]

Weird one as we are playing well and are the better team but being a Rovers fan means you know there is a sucker punch in this 

[RutlandRover]

I long for the day we have a player to actually put away these chances that get chucked in the box

A good amount then.

It shows tbf, we've done very well to disrupt them but you can see that they are a decent team when they get going.

They are missing their first choice keeper Dieng an and their number 10 Azaz tonight
