][/caption] Following back-to-back defeats, Rovers had Chris Samba return to the side for the visit of Everton. In the end Samba was the villain, giving away a dubious 92nd minute penalty, which unfortunately gave Everton three undeserved points.

Once again Mauro Formica didn’t start the game, but his introduction around the half-hour mark sparked Rovers, Formica winning two penalties, yet missing one himself. Still, it was enough to win him the BRFCS Man of the Match with 48% of the vote, with Samba this time in 2nd place with 35.6% of the vote.

So, 3 games in, 3 losses and Mauro Formica with two BRFCS Man of the Match awards. Next time hopefully we will have 3 points and 11 man of the match contenders.
