Match Day Thread Todays match (23/24 season)

Taylor is clueless.

 

FT 0 - 0

5 games without scoring a goal during which time we have conceded 10. JBs record wasn't much worse than this and they kicked him out when does Taylor depart otherwise the Summer transfer window will be open and the new guy won't have a chance and before people say they were not his players they were not Mangan's either but I am sure Mangan's record was better than Taylors

 

Today's line up v Bolton a 3-4-1-2 formation

Ward, Wilson, Taylor, Connolly, Thomas, Sinclair, Evans, Conteh, Aguilera, Brown, Martin
subs
Cox, Gordon, Hoole, McCormick, Rossiter, Ward, Marquis.

Aaron Collins starts for Bolton today

The last time Rovers beat Bolton at home was a 2 - 0 win in January 1989

64% predicted a defeat by 2 or more goals in the Bristol Live match poll today

Sinclair and Thomas operating as wing back, what a waste of attacking talent

 

Just scoring a goal would be good. We haven’t done that for well over a month.

 

I do like a good optimist Bluebaldee and you get todays prize, Disappointment by the bucket load

I think I Follow and Daniel Hargraves have fallen asleep, the latest comment by I follow is the 7th minute and Daniels is the 8th minute, I reckon we have been playing for about 15 minutes

not many goals today apart from the early matches 1 in the championship, 1 in league 1 and 3 in league

34th minute first yellow card of the afternoon to Evans

Carl Brook is now having both sets of fans chanting about him Daniel says he is not having a good game

Don't think either side have had a shot on target yet 40 minutes played

1 minute of extra time to be played

HT 0 - 0

 

Family have arrived enjoy the rest of the match

52nd minute Aaron Collins for Bolton 0 - 1

55th minute yellow card Luke Thomas closely followed by Iredale and Martin 55th and 56th minutes

Today's attendance 8814, 1342 Bolton supporters

62nd minute Connolly yellow carded

Worryingly we seem to be trying to score Baxter their keeper has had to make a couple of saves

According to Daniel Hargraves the goal came against the run of play and Rovers have now lost confidence and are struggling

First change of the match Dempsey replaces Maghoma

 

73rd minute Triple change for Rovers Marquis, Gordon, Ward on Brown, Connolly and Aguilera off

I think this Ref doesn't like us as Conteh is yellow carded 5 for the match so far

77th minute Collins leaves the pitch to a round of applause from all supporters replace by Cameron Jerome

Rovers created a record in the 76th minute today the longest time without scoring a goal, Daniel doesn't say how long the time is

 

Taylor is certainly a record breaker - unfortunately of records that no-one wants!

 

85th minute Baxter yellow carded

89th minute Conteh off McCormick on what does Taylor expect of him in two minutes

8 minutes extra time to be played

Thought he might have given Rossiter a few minutes today

97th minute penalty Bolton Taylor yellow carded converted Aaron Morley 0- 2

90+10 rovers get a corner not bad for 8 minutes extra time

Rovers 0 - 2 Bolton

Good job JB got some points on the board before they kicked him out otherwise I think we would be looking at league 2 football next season. They have got to get rid of this guy 6 matches zero goals and he slags the players off publicly at every opportunity

 

Let's remember JB did a good job of getting us into League One and I believe he had the club at heart.
Taylor is doing a similar job to Tisdale and he lasted less than 3 months.

 

Today's line up v Reading formation 4-2-3-1

Ward, Hoole, Gordon, Taylor, Connolly, Ward, Thomas Conteh, Evans, (c) McCormick, Brown.
Subs
Cox, Hunt, Wilson, Aguilera, Rossiter, Sinclair, Martin

Anthony Evans makes his 100th appearance for the club tonight and wears the captains armband

Rovers last beat Reading in 1999

No Marquis in tonight's squad, is this a hint that his time here is over

2nd minute first corner of the match to Rovers which is cleared by Reading

 

Brown up front on his own? Deary me.

I’m in rural N Yorkshire for work with a dreadful wifi connection and eating in a small restaurant on my own, so following the Rovers’ latest woes on here is my main entertainment for tonight!

 

You have my Sympathy Bluebaldee but at least you probably won't run into any reading supporters up there

8th minute Sam Smith scores for reading Rovers 0 - 1

 

For goodness sake!

 

Season ticket prices went up, quality of football plummeted, how much more of this rubbish do we have to take before they get shot of Taylor

Tom Nichols nets for Mansfield v FGR 1 - 0

32nd minute McCormick asks for a penalty for handball, refused

Brown was mentioned by I Follow and Daniel Hargraves in the 2nd minute and nothing since and he is our main striker, even Marquis puts himself about and tries to cause problems

45th minute Lewis Wing scores for Reading 0 - 2

 

I think that’s now 12 hours of play without scoring a goal. Unbelievable.

 

Get that incompetent idiot out of our club, this is absolutely shameful.

 

According to the WDP it was 600 minutes at the end of the last match without extra time being included make that 645 minutes now at HT

Cheltenham and Rovers the only league 1 sides playing home not to have scored, Rovers still need 2 points to be mathematically safe from relegation

HT changes Wilson, Sinclair, Martin on Connolly, McCormick and Brown off

48th minute Ward denies Smith from close Range

58th minute Rovers get a free kick in Evans territory which hits the wall and the head of Sam Smith who goes down and needs treatment but is fit to continue

62nd minute Ward off Aguilera on

66th minute Sinclair shot cleared off the line by Bindon

70th minute Hunt on Hoole off

78th minute Pereira saves a certain goal from Aguilera

 

80th minute Abrefa on Yiadom off he had been down injured

Hunt yellow carded 90th minute first of the match closely followed by Conteh

5 minutes extra time to be played

FT Rovers 0 - 2 Reading

690 minutes of normal time without scoring a goal

Team were booed as the final whistle was blown, when will things change. Daniel said that the crowed was quite small just before the match started.

Champions league games producing goals Man City Real Madrid 3 - 3 Arsenal 2 - 2 Bayern Munich neither game at full time

 

Atrocious.
