No sour grapes but I thought Rovers were unlucky not to get something from the game. A good share of the possession and an equivalent number of chances. I have to say that I thought the referee was a little bit of a homer and bottled a couple of decisions which could have made a difference. Oh and Ronnie was uncharitable about Ankergren. He had a good game and did well to get down to Anthony Kay’s excellent volley.
All in all a good game but the result was harsh on Rovers.
