79min Should definitely be two
Ged Garner flashes a ball across the box which evades all the Rovers defence and rolls through to Callum Camps who strikes it first time with the instep and sends it wide of the top corner.
74min Substitution
Branden Horton replaces Josh Sims with Reece James pushing up onto the left of the attacking players.
70min Sidenetting
Kyle Vassell smashes a shot into the side netting. Rovers are barely laying a glove on the opposition.
66min A rare bit of quality
Matt Smith found Taylor Richards with an excellent crossfield pass. Richards then surged inside, beating his man several times before powering a shot on goal from a tight angle. More of that please.
63min Almost calamity
Louis Jones strikes Callum Camps with an attempted clearance and the ball bounces wide.
Rovers have been awful in this second half.
