    I just can’t warm to Forster-Caskey as an offensive player... he wastes so many good positions with under hit crosses and over hit shots.
    Agree his attacking ability isn't there but he's a great middle man. I've always called him bang average but the past few games he looks very composed, collects the ball well, never looks panicked, spots runners.

    If he had a bit of pace and could chip in more with goals he would deffo be a level above at least.

    No more calling JFC average from me, hands up 
    JFC has really stepped up to the plate the last few games.

    Pretty impressed with his performance against Rochdale, especially.

    Goes short, but nothing doing and Matthews ball to Chuks is flicked on, and Maatsen wins us another corner with a good run.

    47' | Washington skews a volley high over the Rovers goal. #BRFC 0-0 #CAFC

    I'm not going to say we've been great, though we were the better team, buts it nice to actually watch us and it looks like we know what we are doing. 

    Spot on fishy.
    We are 2 CB and 1 forward short of looking a good team today.

    No disrespect to Oshilaja who is defending well but is limited in his passing.

    Started well this half but need to pull the trigger.

    I think Washington had a shot there, but it ends with a goal kick, and Rovers are on the attack

    Unlucky there. Don't have much confidence in Washington personally. I want to be shut up nicely.

    49' Aneke lays off Washington on the break, he takes a first touch with his head as he races towards goal, but Day gets out of his goal to get to the ball first. #brfc 0 #cafc 0

    Poor first touch Washington.

    Rovers claiming for a penalty due to a "foul" by Morgan, and we counter with Washington but the keeper gets the ball.

    So wasteful so far today. Back to bad old ways from earlier in the season. Chance creation has been great though.

    And of course we do have those exact players on the books but currently unavailable/not match fit.

    48' | Strong shouts for a penalty, as Hanlan goes to ground after contact with Gunter inside the Charlton area. Nothing is given. #BRFC 0-0 #CAFC

    Oh dear Maatsen's cross was high and wide possibly due to a bobble as he went to hit it.

    Why does it seem inevitable that despite all our chances, they will score first?

    Maartsen’s crossing is shit, is it not?

    i can see Rovers nicking a late goal and winning this.

    For all those geniuses who were slating Bowyer for not playing Matthews Tuesday night...he has been awful! His first ball has been horrific and I say that being one of his biggest fans last season! Shadow of the player from last season! 

    I am not writing us off but I think the critics just need to understand we are not that great at the moment! Get players back and we will improve!
    He’s not been awful, but yes he’d have half a point less than the rest for me if we were scoring them on first halves...
    When was the last time Matthews started a game at right back?

    What I want to know is ... How has Maatsen managed to get a haircut in lockdown

    53' Millar looks for Aneke at the back post, but another vital interception from a blue and white shirt snuffs out the chance. #brfc 0 #cafc 0
