Scrappy borefest so far. Explains why they arent scoring many goals on a pitch like this.

Have to hope Accrington are a bit more ambitious in the 2nd half because it's going to be hard to break them down like this. They are defending from the edge of their own area and letting us have the middle of this terrible pitch.

Jch has two for rovers

Terrible ball from Bright and then concedes a free kick

 

[Paxman II]

such a scrappy game

 

[Sick Boy]

Very dangerous free kick coming up

 

[fernandopartridge]

Or have more support?

His instinct was to run away from goal

Pointless in a dangerous position

 

[Gibbo]

Clarke-Harris is doing it for us at Bristol. 2 goals so they lead Blackpool 2-0

Werent there 2 defenders between him and the goal?

Or keep the ball

Mason gets tackled by their pitch and player at the same time.

All of our midfield bar Kelly have been anonymous. Baka is chasing long balls.

 

[Paxman II]

can we please get a grip on this poor opposition side? we are playing way below our capability here and lacking a spark going forward....Thomas anyone?

 

[PVA]

Shit pitch shit game.

We don't look very threatening without Thomas.

 

[kg82]

Bloody hell, this game is terrible.

 

[Nick]

Shit pitch shit game.

We don't look very threatening without Thomas.

The way Mason just got tackled by the pitch he might have struggled.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Would give bremang 15

[covcity4life]

We need wins asap. Get thomas on

[usskyblue]

Would give bremang 15

Out of 10 ? Thought he woz on the bench m8

 

[PVA]

Bright can be greedy and sometimes makes the wrong decisions, but when he gets it right he looks a class above at this level

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

What’s Nicky Maynard doing at bury?

 

[Nick]

This pitch is as anti football as you could possibly get. They should have had an inspection because it's pretty much unplayable.

You get better on a Sunday morning, even with the dog shit.

Can’t resist a dig at Burge can you

Wheres your post about his dribbling past 3 and passing to hiwulla right at ens of half there?

#kickitout

 

[Liquid Gold]

Can’t play good football on this pitch. Have to go long but we don’t have the players, particularly compared to them. Thomas coming on wouldn’t make much difference as he couldn’t carry the ball.

 

[Nick]

Did we end that half with 6 players?

Hiwula
Bakayoko
Bayliss
Shipley
Bright

All anonymous.

All the attacking players.

Kelly the best on the pitch again.

 

[Paxman II]

Horrible pitch but that has nothing to do with our game plan. Where's our width? We are not closing them down quickly. Yet we are clearly looking capable at times. We need to pick it up the pace. The ball has been like a ping pong ball and the sticky pitch needs fast paced balls to feet.

 

[Nick]

All the attacking players.

Kelly the best on the pitch again.

Yeah he is the most involved.

They look more likely to score as it stands, hopefully it's our turn to go out for the 2nd half for the kill.

 

[chiefdave]

Not the greatest game so far.

 

[Liquid Gold]

They only look more likely because it looks like we could play for weeks without scoring whereas they’d go days.

 

[Paxman II]

You have to bring on Thomas if you keep Bakayoko on...he needs the service.

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Did they forget to take the banner? Haven't seen it on ifollow and no mention of it on twitter.

It was walked across the front of the stand in about the 4th minute.
