Bristol Rovers vs Blackpool Official Match Thread

A bit nervy at the end but for the most part we defended very well 2nd half. Plenty to be positive about after today, we've created a decent number of chances and picked up a well earned 3 points. A couple of weeks to our next league game now, hopefully bring in a bit of help for Hanlan before then although the way we attacked 2nd half it would be harsh to leave anyone out.

Yeah we certainly allowed them chances in that game.
When you rely on their player to miss when unmarked 7 yards out in the dying seconds for 3 points you know it was close.
Great 3 points and that puts us comfortably above the bottom four in the PPG table which I think is probably the most important table to be looking at for now.

Corrs? I used to respect you Marshy...

Fair point, but it’s better than sucking on a dry tit.

Yeah sorry Russ my fault for only having 10 stellas in the fridge, what a bellend!

Don’t worry pal, ye get some more Stella an ill finish off th Coors



id remove th  top aff th first one an make th other two last all *king night!

Yes, I thought McCormick was MOM today.  Absolutley battled throughout the game with an attitude epitomised by his three challenges in close proximity in the second half, which on each challenge, could have earned him a booking if he had connected with the opposition player, but finally won the ball on his third challenge.

In the first half at least, we played with a midfield three - Westbrooke on the Left, Upson, then McCormick on the right, not the defensive two of the 4-2-3-1 that I was expecting (Commentary said that was how we were playing second half though).  McCormick was often seen covering a defender's position when they had gone forward and in the first half he was the last defender making a crucial headed clearance.  

He seems everywhere though, without neglecting his defensive work, he is just as likely to be found in or around the opposition box.  Unlucky perhaps, not to have been awarded a penalty.  Obviously here to learn his trade, and learn from his mistakes at our level, but a great player in my opinion. 

UTG!

I thought he was very poor today

Fair play. Im useless at it, bought a printer once  an printed out a life sized Bob Marley playing th guitar but th paper started jammin.
