Rovers went down 8 - 2 away to celta on sunday. The game started off fairly even with no real chances to speak of for the 1st 20 minutes. Celta then took the lead and added the 2nd and 3rd in quick succession. We went into the halftime break 3 down but hadnt looked all that bad. 2nd half began with rovers playing probably the best football of the season so far, getting the ball down and playing it early, one and two touch passing with plenty of talking. we got a deserved goal back early on through Nick Tranter. The ball was won in midfield and slipped between Celta,s back 4 for right winger Adam to run onto. Adam got his head up well and got an early cross into the box which was wel defended by the Celta centre back - however his clearance fell kindly to Nick who sent a left footed volley crashing into the corner of the net! It really was a belting finish and lifted everyones spirits. For about the next 10 of 15 mins we absolutely bossed every aspect of the game but as in previous weeks we just could not capitalise on the pressure we were pilling on. Celta then snatched a goal on the break and from there were always in control. with the score at 7 - 1 we were awarded a penalty for a handball after some good pressure from Mike upfront. I stepped up and went for power rather than placement and fortunately it was past the keper before he could react.
