    I appreciate all match comments, but can fans watching give us facts when something happens and not words like "wow, what the..., OMG", etc. Thanks
  • If we win this I will make a point of remembering  the manager's name. 
  • who’s idea was it to allow empty Bristol Rovers’ coaches to drive down Floyd road ten minutes before kickoff. Then reverse back to the away end? Couldn’t this happen after kickoff?

    Stockley looks like that rest has done him some good

    Stockley becomes a footballer again and sees a cracking effort turned behind.

    Stockley with a very good shot. Keepers nutted the post. 

    He's keeping them in it right now 
  • Oppo Goalkeeper collides with the post stopping a long range Stockley shot, corner to the Reds
  • Stockley has shaved his hair and he's the opposite to Samson from the bible

    Oooh! Great ball forward from Sess just evades Payne but the interception goes straight to Stockley. His first time shot from a long way out is saved by the keeper at the expense of a corner and a collision with the post.

    Replay shows it wasn't as good as initially.

    This is a team originally built to play 4-3-3 and I'm glad we're doing that after months of going away from it.

    We've started really well. Been able to get CBT and JRS isolated on the left. Forced a couple of good saves. Fraser and Payne are running beyond Stockley. If we keep this up, a goal will come.

    Corner in is headed up in the air by Inniss, and out for a Rovers throw.

    Awful shot from Payne, great position.

    Wow. Looking good so far. No goals mind you.
  • Ahhh great hold up from Stockley out on the left of midfield... Sets Fraser on his way, who plays a quick ball to Payne, latter takes a quick shot which is never troubling the goal

    Fraser picks the ball up from Stockley, ball in and an on rushing Payne can't get it on target.

    So far, direct without being typical hoofball. 

    It works.

    Nice work down the left from Fraser, cross to Payne on the LH angle of the 6yard box but shoots wide.
  • We are showing much more intent today and a good opening first 10 minutes, so make the most lads, we should be 2-0 up on chances so far

    Rovers come down our right, Lavelle heads the cross into the ground, but the Rovers forward handles so we get a free kick.

    Good bit of battling in their area from Payne wins us a corner.
  • Browny sounds almost positive today... ;)

    Payne does well to battle to win a corner from a MB kick up field against two big centre halves.

    Fraser takes but it's headed clear. Late challenge on Clare by thte Rovers dugout and we get a free kick.

    Inniss wastes good possession by trying a ball that wasn't on.

    Urgh... Inniss is not a ball playing Centre-Back - Good play gives us a bit of space on the left, Inniss advances into their half and gives it straight to Rovers instead of a red shirt

    Whoops Stockley collides with CBT in the air by our dugouts :)
  • This  ref looks like he is gonna play advantage before blowing for a foul, so far this is looking positive
