That Was…November

Rovers 0 v 7 Fulham

Not the start you'd want to any month; Rovers largest ever defeat at home left many fans thinking “Here we go again…”.
An abject performance from 10 men against an admittedly very good Fulham, but that's no excuse to ship 7 (seven) goals. None of the players achieved a score worthy of being called Man of the Match…”Least Utterly Hopeless Player Of The Debacle” doesn’t trip off the tongue.

We couldn't even think of a comedy recipient like Rover the Dog, or one of the kids on ball duty…[What about Harrison Reed? - Ed]…so the fans who were there are the “People Of The Match”.

 

Rovers 3 v 1 Sheffield United

If you could have your pick of teams against which to try and bounce back following a hammering, it would probably be Sheffield United. Not really struggling any more but hardly the force they were expected to be following relegation from the Premier League. 

An early goal from United was the worst possible start, but Rovers recovered and equalised before half time, from then on there was only going to be one winner. BRFCS.com's Man of the Match supported by Rovers Trust winner, voted for by our readers was Ian Carlo Poveda, but the month wasn't going to end well for the on-loan Leeds youngster.

 

Bristol City 1 v 1 Rovers

A rather dull game against Brizzle that saw Daniel Ayala come out as the BRFCS.com, supported by Rovers Trust, Man of the Match. Ayala was only introduced late in the first half following what is more than likely a season ending injury to loanee Ian Poveda. Everyone at BRFCS.com sends their best wishes to Ian for a speedy recovery.

 

Rovers 4 v 0 Peterborough

The penultimate match in a 5 game month was another high scoring affair, with Rovers putting four past an abject Peterborough and Ben Brereton Diaz's brace earned him the Man of the Match award.

 

Stoke City 0 v Rovers 1 

Just 30 days ago Rovers looked like they were in for a miserable November, but finished the month by proving that yes, they can do it on a cold [Arctic - Ed] afternoon in Stoke; with John Buckley pulling the strings and earning himself a deserved Man of the Match award after his assist led to Reda Khadra's first half winner.
