Salford defender Mnoga has had his red card that was shown on Saturday rescinded by the disciplinary panel
Thought the ref was so inconsistent on Saturday that I would be surprised if he was ever allowed to take charge of a league match again, and his assistant on the Dribuild stand side was even worse, Harrison went into the corner by the corner flag and the defender nearly pulled his shirt of his back and Salford got the free kick
Today's line up v Walsall Southwood, Sparkes, Kilgour, Thomas, Harrison, McEachran, Southam-Hales, Chang, Bilongo, Cavegn, Lopata Subs Senior, Moore, Mola, Sotiriou, Conteh, Issaka, Dewsbury. Our new Bristol Live reporter is Malachi Obrey, welcome aboard Malachi. 2000 Gas heads at the Bescot stadium for today's game Aden Flint in the Walsall team today Luke Thomas has started the ball rolling for the Rovers and Cavegn rustles the side netting of the Walsall goal with the Rovers fans thinking he had scored jeers from the home supporters
5th minute Bilongo wins a free kick on the edge of the area line up with a back 4 today 9th minute Cavegn breaks away with the ball from a Walsall corner and sets up Bilongo whose powerful effort goes straight to their keeper 16th minute a low cross from Barrett is cleared by Rovers 17th minute Flint heads over the bar greeted with aimed chanting from the Gas 22nd minute Kanu flagged off side 25th minute A Bilongo cross is intercepted but Harrison finds the loose ball but his shot goes wide 27th minute Goal for Rovers Cavegn nets the games first goal Walsall 0 - 1 Rovers a Bilongo cross finds Harrison who tries to beat his man and the ball finds Cavegn to tuck it in the bottom left corner
Bilongo seems to be an energetic presence there today, has put in 2 or 3 good crosses and had a shot on goal so it's not just Harrison a Cavegn trying to score the goals to win the game Malachi saying the Gas in control since the opener 39th minute Harrison goes down in the box no penalty just a yellow card for trouble
Yes, I was curious about his inclusion in midfield but he sounds like he’s putting himself about a bit.
HT Walsall 0 - 1 Rovers must be a fairly decent game according to sky only 1 minute of extra time played 2nd half underway 50th minute a Lakin cross finds Saddler whose effort on goal is cleared off the lineby Lopata 54th minute Harrison commits a foul in the opposition box, wonder is a substitution might be happening soon as he has already been yellow carded 59th minute Bilongo and Thomas have switched wings Bilongo now on the right and Thomas on the left 64th minute Walsall now applying the pressure since HT Clarke their sub let fly from distance but it flew over 67th minute McEachran limps off replaced by Conteh Todays attendance 8003 with a quarter being Gas Heads
70th minute Walsall score Walsall 1 - 1 Rovers scorer not yet named Pressley the scorer after a cross by Harper about 20 minutes for Rovers to get the winner 73rd minute Kanus lots one past Southwood but is saved by the offside flag Looks like being a game of 2 halves and I don't like the way the 2nd half appears to be going 77th minute Bilongo off Sotiriou on 78th minute Pressley gets his 2nd of the match Walsall 2 - 1 Rovers Walsall appeared to have dominated the 2nd half and probably deserve their lead about 8 minutes of normal time remaining to get the equaliser
88th minute Issaka and Dewsbury on Harrison and Thomas off, not giving them much time to make a difference is he 10 minute extra time to be played Lopata and Kilgour up top as Rovers search for the draw 90+6 minutes Adomah doing stepovers to waste time and is fouled by the corner flag According to Sky it is the 90+9th minute FT Walsall 2 - 1 Rovers Predicted the right score just to the wrong team A win for Cambridge sees Rovers drop a 2 places in the league after a win for MK DONS A scuffle between the players after the final whistle, bit of after match entertainment???
