Typical derby. We played 2 won 2 top of the league. Great start. One very good win one ground out. Its all about getting the points on the board at this time of year. Can't wait for next week.

Impressed with Satae, Sao and Savellio. Connor will get better and better in the 6 shirt, really took the line on. Sneyd was excellent as well. The turning point was the missed penalty and then us storming to the other end to score.
Griffin was immense such a strong runner for us, must have been 200+ m for the night?
Rovers will stay up if they play with that mindset.
And the pre match build up was fantastic, Sterlo, lights, flags it had everything.
A great Derby.
I agree Digger, and the guy belting out Delilah was great, although it was not so easy to sing along to the second song

Thought we created a few chances and clean breaks and all our of trys were from good attacking (As where 3 of Rovers trys to be fair).
I think people are over playing the playing styles of both teams
We beat them 8 clean breaks to 4. Tbh if we had been a bit more clinical with more players pushing up in support we would have been a lot more comfortable. We definitely wasted a lot more chances than they did.

Half right. Pearson wanted to see good attacking Rugby AND winning Rugby.

I wonder what Jones makes of playing for FC
He’s basically been asked to run the ball in like a prop in the last 2 games
He’s probably wondering why we aren’t throwing the ball around and putting him in 1 on 1 situations instead of driving it in and seeing 3 tacklers waiting for him
