Bristol Rovers vs AFC Wimbledon Match Day Thread

[BishopstonBRFC]

Really not working now. Ayunga isolated and midfield far too deep. Wimbledon are not a good side at all but this has all the feelings of a poor defeat at the moment.

[Gassy]

Midfield has really disappeared from the 30th minute and Wimbledon have taken advantage of that.

Need to up the ante 2nd half

[Gassy]

FFS how have we not scored from these chances?

[gasandelectricity]

Some more of that final minute second half please.

Very flat first half other than that.

[socrates]

We’ve created a few top chances but haven’t taken them.
Worried.

[Dirt Dogg]

Hope the missed chances don’t come back to bite us on the arse here

[Charlton Hayes Gas]

Poor half from us.

Dons with too much possession.

Zain, Luke and Upson have gotta get into the game more.

Ayunga has been too isolated and too many long balls to him. Gotta start playing it more on the floor.

[Deleted]

Despite us having the better chances we need to change the system. Can see Dons getting more into this second half unless we change it. Joey won’t hang around I don’t think. Still got this lads.

[casey12a]

Wimbledon have had the better of the game but we've had the only real chances.

[stuartcampbell]

It's been 35 games since we've won a game after not scoring by halftime.

Not very optimistic

[axegas]

Rovers have had some bright spots culminating in us having the better chances but it does feel a bit flat.

AFC Wimbledon look like a decent passing side but aren’t that threatening in their attacks. Piggott is a dangerous player when he gets on the ball.

Nicholson really sharp so far, he’s performing very well for us at the minute.

[nsblue]

Scrappy, unconvincing and quite poor, but we could/should be 2 up.
Go up a gear and I can see us getting those couple of goals and winning

[Big Jock]

HALF TIME BREAKING NEWS:


Bristol Rovers  owner Wael Al Qadi finally gets to meet new manager Joey Barton:

[Deleted]

Discounting first half

Jonah on his own against three defenders every time needs support.

Not much quality from Rodman, Upson and McC so far.

Need the first goal for sure here.

[Qatar Gas]

I think we can all see that the system is not working today but I back JB to make the right changes.
I think we will see Hanlan on soon let’s just hope it’s to play up top with Ayunga and not replacing him.

For all the worldies Nicholson scores, he does miss too many one on ones.

[milesy83]

we have the wind this half so we will win the 2nd half

[eastgas]

Need to be more clinical today, need to have taken at least one of these chances so far. Not the best performance from us first half but Wimbledon don’t look like scoring.

[Goose]

Apart from Piggott, I don't think AFC have any real threats.

Baldwin been great this half and also think Westbrook and Nicholson have had good halfs.

McCormick needs to do more and need more support up top...

I think we have a real chance

[woolavingtonpirate]

Had to drop a bit deeper that half because of the wind, but a good solid half. We've had a couple of decent chances, should be a goal or 2 to the good. Plenty of dons possession but counts for nothing. UTG.

[Raj Gas]

I hope we are not going to rue these chances but they have a lot of possession without creating much.

This 5-2-3 formation when they are playing one up front (I know it's Pigott a really good player)isn't working, we lose out so much in midfield and resort to too many long passes.

The conditions look tricky and I wish we had more breaking forward from midfield.
