    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.
    Let's not get carried away eh? Been one half against an average Rovers side.

    Good first half where I counted we had ten decent chances, plus the goal. Some poor finishing, desperate blocks and good goalkeeping. We must keep up the intensity and we'll get the three points. All having above average games so far and willing to get their shorts dirty. Be good to extend the lead then get Chuks and Miles on to make hay. 

    Oh, and Barton is getting pelters from some interlopers to the west lower, but I expect them to be chucked out soon...

    I did start with "Long way to go yet..."

    Was more a statement, of: "If thats how we play over the rest of the season under Hayes"

    Its also an "average" Bristol Rovers side who have one defeat since September

    Good first half, but looking oh so familiar with the missed chances…

    Get Nelson in as a permanent fixture, could listen to him and his insight all afternoon

    Very decent 30 minutes from us initially, but we have seen that and longer this season so hoping we can come out this half on the front foot again.

    Midfield feels a lot more balanced, and fortunately Lavelle has not had much to do which is to our benefit.

    Think we've always looked a decent side when the opposition have opted not to press us.

    God knows why Joey Barton isn't. Press us high and we fall apart mate.

    Stockley making Lavelle look quick in the warm up for this half.

    He's certainly got an eye for the game, Brownies not a patch on him and he is armless.

    Half-time change for Rovers...
    off Connolly
    on Hoole

    Payne dragged down abot 10 yards outside our area so we have a free kick.

    46' A second booking for Rovers... Coutts prevents an Addicks counter-attack by hauling down Payne.

    Fraser with an air strike

    Great break and cross from CBT, can understand why Fraser went for the ball, but he's air kicked it, and got in the way of Stockley who was equally waiting to have a swing at the ball

    Ooh, Clare down the right to CBT, Fraser can't quite make contact with the cross. Now JRS down the left wins us a corner.

    Excellent move saw 3 passes from left to right and a quick shot attempt (missed shot) The sort of forward passing attacking football we've been lacking.

    We get a corner. Nothing from it.

    Fraser's corner goes to Innis, heads across but slightly high and wide.

    Ryan Innis is 6'6 for anyone listening to commentary

    Question for those not at work are we tippy tapping as much or are we mixing up the play more?

    Fair play to the Rovers support, looks a good turnout in these testing times

    Game has gone a bit flat at the moment

    Nice bit of passing play from us but Payne ends up being offside.

    1. 51'

      Post update

      Offside, Charlton Athletic. Sean Clare tries a through ball, but Jack Payne is caught offside.
