Based on this game and the previous 2, I've established that we have a keeper who won't make a save. A defence who can't pass or tackle or head the ball. A midfield who can't pass, tackle or shoot. Wingers who can't pass, shoot or cross. And strikers who can't head or shoot (unless it's a penalty). A team always second to the ball and look clueless when they have it. I love DC but he needs a miracle here.
Especially if you are a Cambridge fan, we desperately need some creativity in the side and we don't appear to have any 2nd half underway Bilongo and Moore on Sparkes and Kilgour off 46th minute corner to Rovers 50th minute Free kick to Cambridge which Kaikai puts over the bar Bilongo forward to Sotiriou who crosses the ball but the defender gets there first Chesterfield not Cambridge and Oldham are our next 2 games CJS 58th minute corner Rovers 60th minute Conteh has a shot on target but it is blocked 61st minute Harrison Southam-Halesand Hutchinson off Dewsbury, Senior and Cavegn on
66th minute Cavegn makes Eastwood scramble to save a shot and wins a corner 69th minute a cross hits Bilongo on the shin and goes out for a corner Our next opponents are 3rd in the league and have a GD of +3 and we have scored 1 goal in 2 league matches doesn't bode well 75th minute Ryan Loft scores for Cambridge Rovers 0 - 2 Cambridge Subs a defender and leaves a MF playing as a defender on, not surprised w are losing. DC wants 2 CD and 2 MF we need them before the weekend
Game over. We won't come back from this. 2-0 down thanks to ex Rovers Gibbons setting up ex Rovers Loft with a simple header to beat the keeper who didn't cover himself in any glory again.
Come back Jed Ward we need you or at least give the guy from Leicester a chance, seems every time they shoot they score not good
In all fairness, we have played better this 2nd half compared to the first half. Cambridge have defended well when they had to but final balls by Rovers have been so poor. Never looked like scoring so far. We have had a shot recorded as on target but it was actually going wide before the keeper decided to parry it away. Think he just wanted to do something as he hasn't done anything else all game.
For some reason, the first goal in our games are crucial. Not one in 13 games now and 12 were defeats. 11 of those defeats the opposition scored first.
Southwood looks to make a straight forward save but palms the ball away fortunately there was no one to tap it in Wonder if Bolton blamed him for not winning their playoff matches, every thing I have read about his performances for us do not inspire confidence about 4 minutes plus extra time to get three or four goals to win this match, if we get four they can still score one without winning 90th minute corner Rovers According to sky we are in the 92nd minute Daniel hasn't told us how much extra time to be played FT Rovers 0 - 2 Cambridge The only good thing about tonight's game was I followed it on the computer and didn't waste time going to the match, if we continue this form we will be in the national league again hoping that DCcan get us out at the first attempt Same score in the other match in Bristol tonight except it was a home win
Attendance at tonight's match 2681, surely this must start ringing alarm bells in the club, time for the chairman to put his hand in his pocket to give DC a chance to get some player before the situation becomes impossible
Watched the Highlights last night couldn't understand why they were so long as I didn't see much to highlight
Weird lineup - Howley in a front three, bloody Mola starting again. I don’t think this will go well for us.
Rovers team v Chesterfield Southwood, Senior, Sparkes Kilgour, , Mola , Omochere, Harrison McEachran, Conteh, Howley, Lapota Subs Young, Moore, Hutchinson, Sotiriou, Thomas, Southam-Hales, Cavegn KO has taken place with a back three Kilgour on the right Lopata CD Mola on the left 5th minute Howley tries to play in Omochere but the pass wascut out and in trying to win the ball back conceded a foul 8th minute First effort of the match goes to Chesterfield as the ball goes towards Bonis who can't get his effort on target 10th minute Free kick from Southwood finds the head of Lopata who heads it on for Harrisonwho scuufs his first time effort Ex Rovers man Lewis Gordon pulls the shirt of Omochere and concedes a free kick just outside of the area good delivery to the backpost which came to nothing 3th minute corner to Chesterfield is met by Naylor and turned over for another corner by Southwoodwhich also comes to nothing
