As we lost 3-2 down at Bristol in the last league game I wasn't very convinced about this game, especially when the league's best striker-partnership in Maynard and Varney were up against us. But they stayed very calm all night, or it is probably better to state it this way; Rovers' defence were absolute brilliant, especially Goodison as he completely controlled both of them, especially Maynard. Greenacre was on the bench after he caught the flu over the we
ekend. Zola replaced him and put in a very good performance.On to the game, Rovers started much better than recent homegames and should have taken the lead twice in the first quarter of an hour. First Sherriff volleyed over after a corner and than Taylors header was brilliantly saved by their keeper. Rovers eventually took the lead on 19 minutes as Zola chased down a Crewe defender and got a touch on the ball. It found it's way to Taylor who held a defender away and rounded the goalie to 1-0! Both teams could have scored before half-time as Taylor, Shuker for Rovers and Maynard for Crewe had some decent chances. 2nd half was not as good as the first, but some nice play from both teams made it to a good night out. Davies was very unlucky not to score as he hit the top of the crossbar with a good header just ten mins from time.
All in all a good performance from Rovers.
MOM: The one and only, Ian Goodison.
