The trip on Copps just before half time was outside the box but incredibly the ref didn't even give a foul.
I thought Rowe did go down easily on his but there was definitely a pull on his arm and I thought he had the right to go down.
It was a foul and therefore was a pen.
The ref awarded a free kick in a shooting position in the first half to Accy when one of their players went down in similar circumstances.
The third one was a 50/50 and TBH I am not sure about it.
Baby lanza sed the Rowe one was a cert also
The highlights programme on channel 5 are really poor. I'm sure the rovers own highlights will be better for people too see.
We had a great opportunity at 1-1 in the first half by Copps I think when put through 1 on 1 just failed to lift the ball above the keeper and instead hit it at him that was a big chance.
Then into the 2nd half a great cross from the left for Williams but he headed wide another great chance.
Finally the 3rd one from Rowe was the easiest of the lot. The keeper had already committed to one side and Rowe pulled it wide to the keepers other side. Couldn't belive he'd missed!
It's. clear to see that everything we do is linked in and around Copps. He has such a massive influence on this team. Yes he might not be quick but his touch and thinking had already got him a yard over players in this league. Rowe too showed what he's about driving through the midfield linking in with Marquis and the wings. I have been disappointed in Grant this month. Not sure if he has a niggle or something but not usually his dominant spraying ball type player we've seen previous.
Agree with Baudry dilly dally ingredients. However I belive if fit he has to start. He clearly is our best defender and certainly if playing would have kept up with the Stanley midfielder who slotted in for the first. Butler and Alcock got out muscled a lot yesterday and neither are blessed with any true pace. Mason is just a hoofer but did what he had to do yesterday. Blair for all his pace we don't see it often and getting to the by line and putting in a DECENT cross. Middleton is no Houghton but he will improve with more games. May did well and Marquis played better than he had previously and scored a good goal. I've no problem with us getting promotion as when we slip up no one is taking the opportunity to catch us. We should be about 8 points clear of Plymouth alone now with the games we've thrown points away recently but it's another game chalked off to getting promotion. I'd be unhappy if we weren't making changes and getting battered but it's far from it.
I would like to think we will win our next couple of games though to show we aren't bottling this and potentially end up similar to last season where we don't win for months! I see it as 1 defeat in 14 rather than no win in 5, onwards and upwards
According to the Free Press, McCullough could be back before the end of the season. He's apparently way ahead of his expected tecovery schedule.
