    Triple change for Burton Orsi, Bannon, Whitfield off Stutter, Vancooten and Cooper-Love on

    Williams off Sraha on

    Sky credits Sinclair for Rovers 2nd goal

    83rd minute Vancooten Red carded for taking out O'Donkor as last man so down to 10 men, the resulting free kick clears the bar

    89th minute Cooper-Love yellow carded for simulation

    break in play because of a head injury to Akoto

    90+1 minutes 9 minutes extra time but there are 2 burton players down so the 2 minutes won't start just yet

    94th minute Ward for Rovers Burton 1 - 3 Rovers

    FT Burton 1 - 3 Bristol Rovers

    Guess that is what you would call a game of two halves, we didn't seem to keen in the first half but after the substitutions we improved immensely.

    Had this one down as a draw so that second half performance was indeed a very pleasant surprise.

    Credit where it’s due, the manager’s subs on the 50th minute changed the game.

    Looked at the highlights last night and would definitely give the second goal o Mola, not Sinclair

    2 - 0 down after 12 minutes guess that we will be out of this cup competition tonight, onwards and downwards

    Well that was plain embarrassing. No pride and zero organisation. Our B team just got thrashed by Swindon who are near the bottom of L2, unacceptable.

    The comments I read in the press from their manager was we want to concentrate on the league, while ours said he wanted a cup run. Whoops a daisy he got it wrong again

    And they rested players too. I don't care about this competition but I still expect certain standards than that. I started watching on sky+ when we were already 2-0 down. I turned off at 3-0. Taylor surely is on borrowed time.

    Don't think we will be that lucky, didn't they give him something like a 4 year contract, probably cant afford to pay him off

    Not a single attempt on goal whatsoever in the first half. We’re playing Huddersfield not ruddy Bayern Munich! Taylor has no idea what he’s doing.

    22nd minute free kick to Reading just out side the D, the free kick hits the Wall

    A save from Griffiths who palmed the ball away when according to Daniel Hargraves it should have been caught, keeper looked surprised.

    26th minute Rovers then go go up to the Reading box Sotiriou attempts a Bicycle kick which fell to Sinclair who miskicked the ball chance gone

    29th minute Omochere wins 2 headers to set himself up but the las touch took the ball to a Reading defender and a minute later Sotiriou is set up but sees his effort trickle past the post, possibly best chance of the game

    32nd minute first yellow card of the game Forde booked

    35th minute Griffiths save from Wing, then Omochere uses his strength to create space but his pass to Sinclair is to heavy another chance gone begging

    38th minute Forde wins Rovers another corner which comes to nothing

    40th minute Omochere went down unopposed, medical staff on the pitch not looking good, he is limping and looks to be coming off, is replaced by Hutchinson in the 43rd minute
