Enjoying football again ⭐️
Basically we dominated in midfield first half and they were all over the shop. Second half, Rovers whacked the ball up front to Clarke-Harris, bypassed our midfield, played to their strengths (and our weaknesses) and stopped trying to knock the ball about. The fact they came out fired up and changed shape and tactics totally threw us. Once the penalty was given my heart sank as I knew if it went in, the heads would drop. Rovers took the game by the scruff of the neck, the likes of Sercombe and Ogogo didn’t stop running. Again, fitness levels were clearly much higher for the Rovers players. It was depressing and familiar. However, we must build on that first half. We showed we can play, we have a few decent players. Hopper is different class and Goodship was excellent I thought. I don’t envy Sol now as he has to somehow lift them (again). We simply are relegated if we can’t get a win in the next 4 games. We have Rotherham, Bolton, MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon. Play like we did first half we can pick up points. But maintaining the intensity and pressure for 90 mins is key. Once we lose confidence and other teams smell blood, we seem to give up.
Edited to say : I’ve refrained from criticism of individuals as I’m still p*ssed off and not sure it’s constructive. We win and lose as a team.
