THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

To be fair to him who else do we bring on? They were defending excellently (with a couple of nervy moments granted)

First half we were OK. Second half was god awful. We should not have got the 3 points today with them missing 3 very, very close opportunities.
Seemed to play a 5-1-3-1 at times when we should have been the team attacking them more. But a win is a win and maybe we'd have pushed more if behind

5-1-3-1 - the Mike Bassett Kerplunk Set?!

We were so so far off it second half.

Thought first half we were very good, lot of energy and showed a lot of desire. Was happy at HT. Second half, I seriously think Rovers will be disappointed they didn't win let alone get a point.

We defended well in fairness but more so last ditch, they should've put 2/3 away when they did get in behind.

Three points are three points. I will not complain.

ONE OF OUR OWN

Need to practice passing to a teammate. Our ball retention was appalling in the second half.

I thought we took our foot off the gas after just 20 minutes. It allowed them back into the game. We looked knackered.

How did they not win? League 2 quality I guess.

Absolute game of three thirds

Great first third, then eye off the ball, then tin hat time

I'm very pleased to have got out of this afternoon with the win, how we didn't concede I don't know

Anyway, points on the board

It'a usually the away side that gets away with daylight robbery. We managed to do it as the home side.

A good first 15 minutes but after that we got slowly and progressively worse. And GA couldn't reshape things because the bench is more threadbare than a tramp's undercrackers.

The only good thing is that, last season, we would have lost that. But unless we have some decent players coming in soon, we'll be lower bottom half at best.

Overall really pleased with the defence so far and for the first time in ages we're managing without Lewie. Which is just as well.

It sounds like the manager has identified the issues, as he should do and it's great to see a boss so animated and not passive.
