Very good assist from Connolly for Murray's goal. they should start against City, excellent experience for Connolly and Murray is still #1 by a long way. We need to ensure those round him get the ball into the box quickly , then he will do the business.
I did wonder that but I was replying to the post that said it was being checked
No VAR in the match this evening. It's not the Premier League!

At home against a minnow, the mugs played the full array of very highly paid internationals and PL regulars, Roy taking the trophy seriously. Lovely to see monied arrogance failing at the first hurdle.

It was Alzate with the assist for Murray's goal - Connolly runs towards the edge of the box as Alzate gets the ball (see link above).

Yes, of course. 13 more to equal the all time record.

For sure. When Prince Charming is getting loads of stick for another dire transfer window, a free agent Murray signing will be his goto play to placate the goons gallery.

You need new glasses - it is 46, Alzate.

Alzate did really well at RWB and CM in the second half. Really good footballing brain in him and a lovely assist for the winner. Though he faded a little Mooy was good too. Ali J and Bernardo might be disappointed on a night they needed to impress.

Just got in after the game (staying with sister in Redland).
Thoughts on the game :
Pretty dominant for nearly the whole game and the odd chance Rovers had was largely due to long ball stuff although Nichols took his goal well, helped in large part to Webster's mistake in letting him through. Two well taken goals especially Murray's from a great little incisive pass from Alzate who for me was the stand out player of the night.
Ali J tried hard and did attempt several shots but couldn't seem to hit the proverbial barn door tonight. Still not sure where his best position is.
Connolly looked really lively and had that poachers instinct for the goal although he did get brushed off the ball a fair bit especially in the 2nd half
Webster looked very ordinary and pretty rusty tonight. He didn't look like a £20m player but it was his first start and he will have the benefit of the doubt for me. I'm sure he will improve but will do well on this performace to force his way into the starting 11. Could though have scored with a late header. Mooy was also largely ineffective and didn't show anything to suggest he is chomping at the bit to be in the first 11 at the weekend. Another slight disappointment on what I saw.
Balogun - the surprise of the night along with Alzate. Showed his experience with some decent blocks and general level of passing far better than Webster although did give away a couple of needless free kicks.
The rest were much of a muchness. Murray didn't do that much but he has that X factor to be in the right place at the right time for Alzates pass. No others really stood out for me and it was interesting to see Locadia just a few rows down from me looking very bored and isolated for most of the match, and yes I was in the home stand as my nephews are Brizzle lads.
Decent result and a good evening all round.
Now for a quick last pint in the Cambridge Arms around the corner.

that's the problem with buying glasses from the pound shop.... on that stream though it does look like 44 at some point and i don't think it is just my glasses.

I missed the game, first (viewing on tv) for over a year. Looking at the stats of 26 shots to 3, must have been quite enjoyable.

Thanks for that - nice summary.
How many Albion there roughly? Good atmosphere?

Strange, I thought Webster looked promising.

On his last warning
Murray's now just 14 short of being our highest ever goal scorer
