Who was the one who stood up to try and play offside in the middle. Plus, why on earth were we caught 2 on 2 with quarter of an hour to go when away from home and leading 1-0. Not like we had showed any attacking intent for the rest of the second half.
We prefer to overload our left hand side. I mean, who'd have thought Johnny Opposition would dare to attack down our right. It's just not cricket.
Whilst I don't want to make excuses, because the defending was a bit disorganised at times, this was less than 10 seconds after the referee had allowed Bristol Rovers to take a very quick (ball may still have been rolling) free kick, from what should quite clearly have been a corner to us. Kitching is out of position because he has collided with Marquis, who went from holding his head on the ground, to dribbling out of his own penalty area within about 3 seconds. We were second best for most of the afternoon, and could probably have done better for the goal. But as usual, it's a poor refereeing decision that ultimately put us in a difficult situation.
I think we'd need to make it a bit bigger, as a postage stamp hidden on the dressing room wall might get missed.
Was only watching on i Follow as had just got back from Spain 24 hours before but the sequence before that, as others have said, was rather strange (maybe as a result of the new rules, referee wanting to get on with play) but I would not blame The Reds by being caught out: equally credit to Rovers with Scott Sinclair putting it in: Marquie was clearly offside but Sinclair wasn't.
