v Bristol City (a) - 25/1/2025

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

About as much as we could hope for with this side.  I'd happily take the point.

[BigBar]

Feed the Mak! He's a beast in the air, can't be disputed, causes havoc and if he doesn't score the others can feed off the scraps!

[WacoRover]

Well, survived to HT.

[roversfan99]

Really poor performance and lucky and grateful to be drawing.

Buckley has been really bad, hasnt got the ability to take the ball on the half turn. Forshaw a passenger. Sanderson hasnt impressed me at all, terrible on the ball and a walking red card.

Pears poor for the goal but great save at the end.

[ItsRoverZ]

Travis on for Buckley and forshame we can play with 10, we pretty much have that half anyway. 

[sharpysharps86]

Feels like someone is getting sent off in the 2nd half. Real shame Gueye got booked so early, he's actually becoming quit a threat now.

Fingers crossed Rovers can kick on and grab another goal.

[simongarnerisgod]

watching this between the dog racing,bristol city are bobbins,with a bit of luck and some solid defending we can snatch 3 points here,though id`e take a point gladly

[BigBar]

We need to be more direct and stop Buckley dilly dallying around our box, they have pressed well in those positions. Need to be more solid and look to grab a winner. Point wouldnt be the worst.

For the incident when Weimann and Dolan mess up the 2 on 1 , who the hell does the linesman flag offside. The guy on the far side plays everyone on by a mile.

Weimann ‘probably’ offside looking at it for the goal.

Could do with the win really to keep us in with a theoretical chance of the play offs.

Very accurate assessment. Shame about Sanderson so far, hopefully he settles. Great ball in from Dolan but he is very frustrating.

You are correct, just saw the reply. Their right back played everyone on. Linesman played the percentages when he saw 3 rovers in such an unusual position.

[booth]

Dolan should have done better with his first chance, he should have passed it to one of the two players with a better angle to score.

Pears should have done much better for their goal.

Weimann or Dolan should have scored a tap in a few minutes before we got the equaliser.

We could be 3-0 up.

[Angry_Pirate]

Gueye should technically get an assist for that. The post does not count as external, so the ball went directly to Andi, from his head.

Dolan playing the ball forward to Weimann was the offside. Weimann was in front of dolan

[USABlue]

I will predict a late late soft soft pen wins it for Bristol.

But their right back was right over on the far touchline playing Weimann on. The linesman just doesn’t see him.

Nice to be the benefactors of a "you could guarantee he was going to score" for once!

Probably, and with a sending off for one of our better players.

[Cherry Blue]

last season todays referree officiated in 22 games giving 95 yellows 1 red.

Thats over 4 yellows per game.

He's from Lancashire.

The Bristol city right back was behind them all. They were all on, luckily didn't impact the outcome because Dolan blew it anyway

Didn't see this, and seemingly neither did the linesman

Yeah feels odd🤣

[Neal]

This could very much go either way, I really hope we can keep 11 men on the pitch. I'd personally look at getting Forshaw off, get Hedges in the middle and play Beck out wide. 

 

Side note... How good a signing has Andy Weimann been on a free? Got a very good knack of being in the right place at the right time.

Yep over the far side, probably expecting a pass.
