We beat a very poor side .HogansHeros wrote:Get in!!!! Chris - how did we do?
The game was won and lost in both penalty areas.
We started off very poorly gifted them a goal from a needless corner conceaded by Gavin Hoyte who was shocking first half. The corner is taken short and quick and put on the head of one of the two players totally unmarked in our area. We were not even looking.
We are told by the Manager they work on these situations in training. Plainly obvious somebody is not listening or he must be speaking a different language.
At that point we were not even in the game and Bristol Rovers could have been out of sight.
Our defence got slightly better more so when Scott Doe came of the bench to replace Luke Wilkinson who did not have his finest hour. Why we made another change to our starting line up in the defence lord only knows we looked complete Strangers.
ALL the time Bristol Rovers were getting worse. Norris and Azeez had very good games but I would defy any Striker worth his salt not to fancy their chances against that lot. Time and again they found it so easy to shrug of their marker and get shots away. You know its party time when Dicko comes off the bench and finds it just as easy. We should have filled our boots.
Abu Ogogo and Luke Howells worked their socks off. Luke is obviously not 100% fit but in my opinion put in a great shift. Our passing out from the back left a lot to be desired. At times the only ball Luke and Abs got was what they won. Some of the service they were getting from their team mates was beyond hospital and was nearer Funeral Parlour ball.
As I said it was won In both Penalty Areas . We took our chances they did not. Our defending at times was horrific theirs was simply appalling throughout.
Special word for Chris Lewington. Took guts tonight after Saturday. Looked assured throughout and made four good saves.
Good result but we did not have to be anywhere near our best to win it, which was just as well.
