Is there another game on somewhere?

About right imo. If all clear chances were taken it'd be 3-3, so not too unhappy to be level.

Just feel that our missed chances may cost us, as the away side. Interested to see if Brereton gets on.

Watching a different game you Adam. Hoofball? Haha

[roversfan99]

Very shaky and unstructured at times. Missing Dacks composure going forward. Both Palmer and Armstrong should have scored.

Typical Raya performance. 2 good saves. Then a rush of blood and kicking it straight back into a Bristol player. And then you cannot be beaten on that side from a free kick like that. 

Our best player has been the ref to be fair, if this was the other way wed be furious! At least twice hes got the ball back for us and 50/50s all going our way. Hope that doesnt change with the crowd against him.

Raya has to save that free kick. He's over that side - poor effort.

Palmer clearly should have scored but he did great to get on it, Armstrong’s was even worse for me he had so much time.

Never a free kick for me but it’s the side Raya would fancy getting something on it you’d think. 

Agree with this. Only seen it the once but thought Palmer was abit unlucky. Armstrong miss was really poor - barely tested the keeper.

Dont think we have played too bad. Defensively both sides look poor - yet both goals come from set pieces.

We look decent without the ball, really press to get it back. Got a few options on the bench now too so a result is there to be had.

[Tom]

I actually think we’ve played pretty well, some slick and fluid movement but it’s just not come off up front.

Graham is really intelligent with his play, hope Brereton can learn that from him. 

Armstrong very disappointing for me, 2 or 3 times got in good positions and wasted it

Just replayed the incident prior to their free kick, from the camera angle does not look like Nyambe touched him

Thought we played well in spells. 

Palmer no show again  should have scored. Wouldnt surprise me if he was sub after 55 or 60 mins for Rothwell or Brereton. 

Nyambe and Lenihan poor at times. 

Nyambe needs a bit more help from Bennett I agree with the commentator ,on ifollow your man he is up against looks decent the young full back is handy too.

[SBlue]

It’s a fantastic free kick, laced in from 18yds central. Harsh to say it should be saved.

He’s intelligently bailed out Lenihan and Bell on more than one occasion too

[Husky]

Probably just the camera angle, but it looks like the ref put the wall a yard too far back.

Palmer played some nice stuff, he should have scored but he forced the chance himself, he will come off after 60 though he’s not a 90 minute player yet. 

3 goals for him so far is more than I expected mind you.

I also think Nyambe doing a good job

Never ever a free kick, and from there the ref has to be sure. Very disappointing decision. 

Arma has to score that.

Don’t think he’s been too bad quick feet just no one else can predict or read where they need to be around him.

[Scotland1]

Odds on a Bereton debut winner?

I doubt armstrong will play 90 either as been out and will Graham we should see Brererton and Rothwell at some point

Hope we go for the win

Looks bang on 10 yards to be fair... they just usually only put them back 9.

[OJRovers]

We usually get better second half a fingers crossed we can stay in this. 

Rothwell on at some point would  be good.

Need to take these chances.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Impressed with Evans and Smallwood so far, getting us lots of the ball and using it well. Both our fullbacks are being left exposed in a regular basis which is a worry. Palmer after poncing about in Chelsea youth teams most of his life needs to learn to graft more.

Still fancy us for this, we have subs who can improve things.

It's the infamous Blackburn v Crewe ref.

It could get worse yet.

We could do with his energy and runs but think he’ll be on for Palmer and Reed for Smallwood at 60 mins.

We don't know when Dack and the under dressed girl were photoed.

But has to be said that as a professional anything, it doesn't look good and his boss needs to have a word.

Good sense. The photograph doesn't give a good impression of the player and so reflects on the club.

Any discussion of drink is irrelevant because no one has evidence he was drinking.

Really? He’s not be bad but sloppy I’d say. Think Lenihan looks shaky.

Who do u think has played better this half? Evans is tackling everything. Not his best game in a Rovers shirt definitely, but still better than the rest
