Rovers v Birmingham: 29 November 2023

[goozburger.]

73'

Good attack from Rovers, orchestrated by Wharton. Ends with a Szmodics-Sigurdsson link-up with Siggy's shot straight to the 'keeper.

 

[goozburger.]

74'

Ruddy looking uncomfortable, perhaps after conceding three in quick-time. Fumbles a cross away.

Rovers then play Pickering through who is just offside.

 

[goozburger.]

74'

Slight mix-up at the back for Rovers. Wahlstedt comes out but wasn't going to reach it. Brittain does the right thing and clears.

 

[goozburger.]

76'

The yellow-carded Bielik goes off and Miyoshi comes on.

Jutkiewicz and Stansfield off for Hogan and Oli Burke.

Time to stay steady and repel!

 

[goozburger.]

77'

Miyoshi's first contribution is to gift possession to Rovers.

 

[goozburger.]

77'

Wharton does brilliantly to get Rovers out of jail in a tight spot at the back. An arrogant flick to Brittain gets us moving, but Birmingham have it back in the end.

 

[goozburger.]

78'

Rovers 3 - 2 Birmingham

Dembele again with a shot from outside the box. Took a deflection.

Squeaky bum time.

 

[goozburger.]

80'

Yellow card for Wharton as he brings down an advancing Birmingham player.

 

[Husky]

Jesus Christ we are shit.

Our keeper is as bad as theirs.

 

[goozburger.]

83'

Moran should have been booked for a pull-back on a Brum player.

 

[goozburger.]

83'

Rovers finally getting a bit of possession and control since scoring our third.

 

[goozburger.]

87'

Silly booking for Moran as he puts a dead ball into play.

 

[goozburger.]

88'

Almost a fourth for Rovers as good pressing gives Brittain a cross into Leonard who nearly gets onto the end of ti. Birmingham come back to attack but it ends in a crap shot over the bar by Buchanan.

 

[goozburger.]

89'

Ashley Cole puts his snoodie over his mouth as he freezes his knackers off.

 

[goozburger.]

89'

Birmingham shooting on sight, but Dramah fires well over the bar from outside the box. He had other options.

 

[goozburger.]

90'

6 minutes added time.

 

[goozburger.]

90+2'

Rovers 4 - 2 Birmingham!

Leonard deflected strike goes past Ruddy inside the box. Smart play by Rovers in the lead up between Sigurdsson and Szmodics. Assisted by Moran.

Game over.

 

[Husky]

That should calm the nerves.

 

[goozburger.]

90+3'

Rovers back on steroids. Brittain attacks into the box but Birmingham clear.

 

[goozburger.]

90+4'

Tronstad does well to win Rovers a corner.
