    Stockley flicks the ball sideways and they have a corner

    Corner crossed in low, we clear wide left for a throw.

    Rovers with a bit of possession, free kick, corner, throw and yet another free kick. Haven't looked like troubling in that time but they're getting a hold of the ball more. Half time coming at the right time for us.

    Our wide players have the crossing accuracy of Stevie Wonder on a gun range

  • HT 1-0, should be more but ok...more of the same second half please

    Nice pressure from JRS and Fraser, but Fraser concedes a free kick near the touchline midway in their half. AMB collects the ball in the air easily, hoofs downfield and the ref blows for half time. 1-0

    AMB reminemds me of when I try to hit a left foot deadball. 

    All kinds of awkward.

    Very good first half. Dominated. Got the goal after forcing some good saves. Got pegged back a bit but didn't break. More of the same in the second half. It'll be important that we press in the second half. We need a second goal. But a lot of positives to build on.

  • Far too wasteful - should be well ahead.

    Clearly playing quicker than before, with a lot of emphasis on getting the ball down the flanks through the channels and reverse passes from the centre.

    We look pretty good (seemed to take the foot of The Gas at the end though) but they are absolutely dogshit aren't they?
  • Thirty minutes we were outstanding and showing similar effort to the side that beat Portsmouth.

    Understandable that we were never going to keep up the early intensity throughout the game - Bristol Rovers got themselves back into it the last 15mins, and expect them to come out for the 2nd half stronger.

    Now I'm off on a serial killer rampage after hearing Scott Minto saying: "WhatsUP" for the last pissing time!!
  • Some really good, dominant football from us. Only disappointment is not being 2/3 even 4 up with some of the chances we've had! Need a second goal early on in the second half to knock them down a peg and allow us to bring this win home 
  • Loving the half time chat with Nelson, great humour

    I'm afraid that there's the pair of us in it....

    You mean Stockley hasn't got anywhere near them, sometimes I do wonder what he offers...
    I think that's being unfair on Stockley. Fraser, and CBT have overhit balls on more that one occasion.
  • Long way to go yet though, but if thats the sort of performance we can expect on a regular basis under Hayes / Pearce then I wont be complaining about something more permanent... One of the few I think who wasnt disappointed when they got given the role on a caretaker basis.

    I like Evans, shame we didnt sign him in the summer

    Isnt afraid to shoot, and wasnt far away with his third (?) effort from outside the area
    Been very impressive. Did we try to sign him?

    I like this role for Payne. Gets very close to Stockley and makes runs beyond him. Got the energy to keep doing it as well. 
  • Deserved lead, but we need the second to be safe. Especially as I predicted a 2-1 win
  • 😂😂 Nelson comparing the crossbar challenge attempt with Kane in the WC...😂

    I really like Nelson, he is a really keen watcher of the game.

    He was out of contract @ Rovers

    The commentary team mentioned someone was linked in the summer around the time of his last shot so presumed it was him - Think his name popped up on here as well a few times (before he signed a new deal), so not sure how concrete it ever really was.

  • Coutts is a banker to score today 
    The way he playacted an injury in front of the Curbs Stand, he's definitely a banker

    Enjoyed that first half. Long may it continue.
