Norwich City The Bristol Rovers boss showed his frustration following Bristol Rovers’ FA Cup third-round replay defeat at home to Norwich City.
After the Gas lose two straight games in the FA Cup, Bristol Rovers manager Matt Taylor feels his team is too much of a “almost team.”
The hosts’ FA Cup third-round replay at the Mem against ended in a 3-1 loss. “At the moment, we are almost a team,” Taylor stated. “There was a counterattack, but we managed to avert a nearly aggressive moment. Since we just have the league to focus on right now, we need to pick up some points quickly. As a team, we can’t stay like that for very long. As a manager, I can’t stay that way either. As players, we can’t stay that way individually.
Within the first 20 minutes, Luke McCormick gave the Gas a well-earned lead with a beautiful volley past George Long. But just before the hour, the visitors pulled even when Gabriel Sara bundled the ball across the line after Sam Mccallum’s curling attempt had first struck the post. Shortly after Connor Taylor took down Jonathan Rowe during a counterattack, Adam Idah scored from the penalty spot to give the Canaries a two goal advantage.
