Back to winning ways! some will say controversially, but im solely going to focus on rovers performance tonight and the difference from the last couple of weeks.
For a start, we showed real enthusiasm especially when running with the ball. We ran hard, made metres upfield and got a quick play the ball consistently for the first time this season. In defence, we looked shaky in the first 20 and still not 100% convincing for the duration, however an improved effort from previous 2 weeks.
Dobson played really well but he was complimented by I'anson perfectly, as we actually had 2 half backs looking to do something with the ball rather than one just running with no passing side to their game (webster). Also, the kicking game was much improved and this was one of the key things which enabled us to get field position in the game.
Was good to see briscoe back, apart from spilling one high ball he had a decent game. Clinton looked good for a first run out as well, especially in the first half i thought he made a lot of tackles and did a lot of work, and he will only get better with more matches under his belt. Big well done to young Liam Watts as well, really stood up and gave a great display, good to see a British youngster having an impact. Finally, does anyone know why Colbon was left out? was one of the few who really put in a good shift last week.
How do fellow robins fans feel now then, 4 games and 2 wins, what would you have been expecting before the season? I personally would have hoped for 3 wins, but wigan and cas away, with Hudds at home are pretty tough games. The attitude with the players seemed better tonight and i hope we can build on this, hopefully putting another win on the board next week
