I really dont understand what the style of play is anymore. Its appauling

 

[Fulwood Blade]

as for possession BBC says it's 56% to United

UTB

 

[1889]

It's Keith Stroud, he's got plenty of form with us

He’s awful isn’t he. I remember the home game v Brentford when he gave three penalties and sent five off (I think)

Why, aren’t we wearing red and white stripes against a team playing in all blue? I hate that fucking pink kit, I can’t help but associate it with our shit form!

[Alex Cheeseright]

Half time....bring out the hairdryer. Does CW own a hairdryer?

 

[Yogi]

We’ve made some bad decisions today looking to pass wide at times when we’ve had free runners in the channels

 

[Lawrence]

indeed we ARE clearly the better team - but we still lack quality in the final third even against BR who are defending deep

UTB

We are clearly the better side?

 

[Working Class Hero]

Being bottom of the league has brought out some reyt mardiness amongst our fans. What a miserable thread!

I enjoyed that first half, it's a good game with both teams trying to attack. United are comfortably the better team, as you'd expect, and should probably be a couple of goals up.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Brewster was playing shit with no effort at all that’s the difference

Difference between him and most of our first team? The point is, we need him to find goals and form don’t we?

 

[S40BLADE]

100m+ to be on par with a league one team.

 

[Geordie Blade]

1-1 against league 1 team with more possession than us - not so sure!

edit: good for a neutral - its competitive but it shouldn't be

We’ve had more possession than them. And more shots.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

We are clearly the better side?

yes - particually in the final third but we do lack quality when we get there - the BBC stats of the game don't lie

UTB

 

[BanderSerge]

Rubbish wasn’t the same as ours at all

Yes it was.

 

[Headshrinker]

We are clearly the better side?

Yes, I take it you are not watching?

 

[robbiez666]

I've missed the first half, how has it been?

 

[LJBlade]

Ramsdale still can't keep a clean sheet this time against a League 1 club

The team can’t keep a clean sheet you mean. Ramsdale isn’t the only player responsible for us not conceding goals

 

[HeySethUTB]

Ampadu and Osborn are such a bad combination on the left. Team looked better, last 10 minutes.

And if by playing well. You mean better than when we are playing premier league sides each week, I agree. But this is league 1 Bristol Rovers, nothing to cheer about. The result should not even be a question with what is our strongest possible line up available. Second half get the job done.

 

[Lawrence]

We’ve had more possession than them. And more shots.

WOW didn’t expect that

 

[Sudley]

Just seen another replay of the Rovers goal, Ramsdale couldn’t save a word document!!

 

[SUFCinks]

We’ve had more possession than them. And more shots.

By the end of the half we did but at about 35mins BR had more possession.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Just seen there goal not enough for a foul on Bash but Ramsdale's positioning is shocking doesnt know where his goal is and whether to come or not very poor from him.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

He will. With us.

I think this team will do quite well with us in L1 hope we keep hold of them

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Just seen another replay of the Rovers goal, Ramsdale couldn’t save a word document!!

He couldn't catch corona without PPE in a rave party.

couldn’t agree more. Tricky game this against a side in decent form. If you was a neutral you’d fancy a cup shock.

The truth is we’re the better side all over the pitch. Some of you lot have short memories from when we were the giant killers in Rovers position.

How much time does he need

 

[Yogi]

I've missed the first half, how has it been?

Both teams playing decent football. Poor for us to concede from a set piece. We’ve had two debatable goals chalked off. We’re focused on playing the ball outwide and not taking the chance to play the ball into the channels when runners are wide open and it’s hurting us a bit in terms of output in the final third.

So true

 

[Lawrence]

Yes, I take it you are not watching?

We should be the better side? What did you expect?

 

[Chingo]

Knockers out in force , haters are gonna hate as usual

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Are you sure some of you are watching the same game?
