AFC Totton v. Bristol Rovers F.A Cup 2nd Round

First Half
Rovers have had a poor league run so far this season so an F.A cup run may be able to strengthen the squad.  Rovers got off to a good start with some great passing and some good balls into the box.  There first 3 goals came within 5 minutes of play.  The first goal came from Joe Anyisah, on the 8th minute, who struck the ball brilliantly to the top right corner.  The second goal came 2 minutes later by Mustaha Carayol with an oustanding run and an excellent finish.  The 3rd goal came at 13th minutes with a spectular left-footed 35 yard shot form danny woodards that went straight for the bottom corner.  There were a few feisty moments in this first half which saw totton's assistant manager Sean New try to trip Carayol which ended up with getting him a yellow card, he was then later subbed off for Eliot Richards.

Second Half
Tottons best effort came later in the second half when Scott Bevan produced an excellent double save only to see substitute Natheniel Sherbournes shot go in.  Rovers fourth came from Byron Anthony's header from Eliot Richards corner.  Rovers 5th goal came from Eliot Richards 12 yard shot that went straight to the top corner.  Rovers final goal came after Matt Harrold's cross to Eliot Richards who slotted home goal number six.  During the second half substitute Ben Swallow's rash tackle saw him get sent off.  
Rovers F.A Cup 3rd round clash at home against Aston Villa will be broadcasted live on ESPN from 5:30pm on saturday 7th janurary 2012.

Southend United v. Bristol Rovers Saturday 26th November 2011

After Rovers defeat at home to Barnet they desperately needed to get something out of this game and they had to play top of the table side Southend.  Unsurprisingly Southend opened the scoring on the 66th minute with Harris scoring after some poor defending from Rovers although there were some shouts for offside.  Rovers came back when Harrold scored from a great header on the 77th minute after coming off the bench and had only been on the pitch 5 minutes. Rovers are currently 18th in the league with only 22 points and will need to work harder and win more games if they are going to move up the table.

Bristol Rovers v. Barnet Saturday 19th november 2011

Rovers have had a poor start to the season with only 6 league wins out of 20 drawing 3 and losing 9.  This week rovers faced Barnet who are currently 21st in the league.  Much of the possesion was controled by rovers and it was hard to believe the gas finished with no points.  The goal came from barnet after 19 minutes with a header from Mark Hughes.  Rovers had some good chances hitting the bar twice and an excellent 35 yard shot from Eliot Richards that was saved by barnet goalkeeper Dean Brill.

Barnets second goal didnt come until the 98th minute in stoppage time when Barnets Alassane N'iaye crossed it into the box which should have been cleared easily, but Lee Browns mistake sent it straight to Byrne who smashed it into the bottom corner of the net.  Once again fans chanted for Paul Buckles departure after Rovers slip into 17th place in league 2.
