FULL TIME
Quite frankly, that was an awful game of football. Two teams completely lacking in belief on a poor pitch and the wind was blowing a gale too.
Unconvincing from Rovers. They were unable to put a vulnerable Fleetwood team under any sustained pressure.
It’s an away point but there’s every chance it won’t be enough in the long run.
Significant goals elsewhere as AFC Wimbledon concede two in quick succession and now trail 2-1 at Cheltenham Town.
80 LATE TWIST?
It’s Fleetwood who have looked most likely in this second half.
Or will be there a late twist?
59 POOR
It’s been more of the same, really. Two poor teams cancelling each other out.
The home side are starting to throw more balls into the box.
