Level at half time would have been fair.
Was going to say Kilgour has looked comfortable (which I'm happy about) till he dived in!
Usually effusive in my praise for Hare but he's been poor tonight. Same to a lesser extent for Tutonda.
We haven't got our strikers in the game which is disappointing.
Grant has been very good. Although a couple of times he has turned his man really well but then passed backwards!
We are scared witless of Dembele. But JCH has barely got a mention so we've defended him well. Fantastic finish from their man we'll worth a mention.

All part of the plan, we’re sh** when we are 1 up so looking good. 😂
2 - 1 win incoming.

Annoyed that it’s another needless mistake that has led to us being 1 down. Pretty even stephens so far and I think the team has given a good account of itself.
Worried now though as we are going to have to chase the game so next goal is really important

Thought we played well first half but Posh edged it and the score line reflects that. We’re not getting hammered like some of us were worried about so it’s not over yet but manager needs to motivate his players and consider appropriate tactical changes.
Hmmm, not sure Ben has shown he can do that mid game yet, but here's hoping he can develop that part of Football/Team/Game management. |

Kilgour made our mistake for the game, they score. He doesn't look comfortable at all.
Other than that we played ok, without actually creating much. We had one real chance didn't take it.

I think it’s clear Garner needs a plan B
Today has been typicaL of most of our games this season in that when we win the ball we just haven’t got enough attacking minded players making runs and genuinely looking for the ball.
The gap between the front two and the rest is massive.
Again we’ve not been awful , we look reasonably solid against possibly the best attack in the division but it’s hard to see us scoring unless Daley creates a chance out of nothing again or we get a pen or something.
Kilgour also looking very uncomfortable on the ball playing Tika taka on the edge of your own area is not nice for a big brute of a league 1 centre half and he also made a schoolboy error in lunging in and putting himself out of the play for their goal.
I feel We’ve got a good squad but I’m far from convinced we’re playing a style or formation that suits the players we’ve got.

What's up with Kilgour looking frightened to pass the ball forward, each pass either does side ways to Ehmer or backwards to Jaakola, he never did that last season. Hare looks our most dangerous wide player but Kilgour never passes to him.

I’m not watching so who is playing well? Nicholson? Westbrooke?
Are we playing 3-5-2 or more 4-3-3?
Who should come on for who? Or are we still ok and not out of it?

Dembele looks a class act. Rovers need to get Hanlan into the game

Nothing happening at the top end for us, unfortunately I think the Posh will go on to win easily. Things might change if the Turkish Messi comes on for us

I don't understand the worries about Kilgour after that half. I can't remember him actually giving the ball away? Doesn't look any more uncomfortable than the other 2 CBs when it comes to passing. Especially considering it's his first game in a while.

Decent half from Rovers I feel.
Limited them to very little & couldn’t do much about the goal (although Kilgour not diving in would have been a start...)
Once again though, we don’t look like scoring unless the opposition make a mistake or we get a penalty.
Still in it though.

Boring boring Bristol Rovers so far.
Already look short of ideas of how to breach this defence.
Sick of the negative play from the back.
Passing it around to each other, going nowhere, then the hoof, pocession lost.
Game after game.
Why aren’t we using our midfield.
water poor so far.

The possession once again seems mostly ineffective, but lively in small patches. I'm not sure we're cut throat enough to turn our possession into chances and goals.

Did I just see us do the marxist bowdown pre kickoff? Let’s save that one for general chat and not the match day thread please. Feel free to start a thread there. Why?.... It was done at the start of an none Political sport, yet "forced" upon us paying customers to view, this making it a point to be discussed. I'm correct in bringing this up here. |
