Quarter of an hour played and we're looking good!
Francois beats three players but his cross just evades Sam Bell!
Shortly after Scott tries his luck from 25-yards out but it's deflected just over the bar!
Can't believe Pearce starting. Means he won't be starting Wednesday which is crazy.
Pearce has sat on the bench for the past 3 games - evidently to be used only in the most emergency of situations, should anything happen to the makeshift CB pairing of Gunther/Pratley.
Okay, anyone can be wise with hindsight ...... but I can't help wondering if he'd been better used by getting him up to speed in last week's U23 game?
Seemed really odd to have both Pearce and Oshilaja on the bench last Tuesday vs Burton, instead of one playing for the U23s. Especially as Purrington was left out of the 18 altogether
Couldn't Pearce at a half today and a half on Wednesday?
No need to rush Pearce back. If we were playing Hull with Maginnes and the bargain basement Andy Carroll maybe. Pratley and Gunter haven't been bullied by center forwards. The problem is/was the team faffing around.
"The Robins were able to take advantage when Joe Osagahe’s pass out from the back was intercepted by a purple shirt and the ball was crossed for Sam Bell to finish."
Oops! Now where have we seen that sort of frailty before?

Seems three goals worth seeing
