ROVERS TERRACE TALK with Sam Tennent Away days put smiles on fans’ faces

-

Can we play away every week? That’s the question Rovers fans are asking after another terrific performanc­e on the road, this time against a much fancied Arbroath side.

It would be fair to say that the result flattered the home side with Rovers squanderin­g several great chances during a breathtaki­ng second-half performanc­e which threatened to overwhelm the Red Lichties. That 45 minutes followed a first half during which Brian Kerr’s men played a hugely efficient counter-attacking game.

Two chances and two goals of real quality from Alan Trouten and Gary Fisher left the enthusiast­ic band of away fans in dreamland at the break.

The only slight downside from this performanc­e was the failure to keep a clean sheet – especially as this was by some distance the best defensive performanc­e of the season so far from Rovers.

That’s three victories in three away games so the big question is obviously, can the boys translate their away form into performanc­es that will gain points at Cliftonhil­l?
