Att: 6 529
So, once again the season is over, it seems like yesterday I attended my first game of the season, but now my first full season following Rovers live is over. Wonder if I ever will have a seasonticket again...?
Anyway, Rovers finished 9th but finished with a convincing victory over already relegated Brentford. I have to say from christmas on Rovers haven't been comvincing at all and didn't deser
ve to be in the play offs, but it's always nice to finish the season on a high :) Rovers fielded a few youngsters and especially one of them, Craig Curran, had a good game. Just 17 years old and he managed a hattrick! That's nice... His first one was a real poachers goal. He received the ball from Zola 6-7 yards out with his back to the goal, he turned quickly and volleyed home. The second goal came just two minutes later and again Curran was credited the goal, although this time his shot from the edge of the area was deflected into the net. Rovers calmed down a bit after their second and let Brentford come into the game after many consecutive cornerkicks. On the third corner they managed to pull one back. That was only fair as Ian Goodison almost scored an own goal on the previous two corners (!) As Brentford thought they were in with a shot for a point, Rovers stroke again! This time a lovely goal by Curran as he lobbed the Bees goalie from the edge of the area. A good first half from Rovers and some good football. Second half didn't live up to the first, and it was very dull to be honest. I guess that reflects Rovers season. They have never managed to play good football for more than maximum of 45 minutes... That is one thing we have to improve on during the summer...All in all, a good victory, and a much improved season compared to the last one, when we almost got relegated to the basement division... Next season we'll be up there, for certain!
MOM: Craig Curran! 17 years old and three goals!
