Wimbledon vs Rovers

[ss1953]

Someone has to start the thread

[dknward2]

Think it will be a tougher game than we think with the heat, just hopefully a better performance than the last 3 games with a win to match

[steve@dcfd]

So the best eleven we have available start with Agard and the crèche on the bench

[IDM]

[andyst79]

Good to see big Tom back in the side

[ncRover]

Wimbledon been lining up 3-5-2 in recent games

Who did you expect to be on the bench?

Big babies Andrews and Long!!

Fingers crossed for big Tom. Hard to predict how the game will go in this heat but hope they can muster some fluidity in our play. At least we shouldn't be lumping it up for the big man.

Would love to see a Rowe blockbuster today and Miller carrying on his scoring habit.

[karldew]

We’ve managed 4 points from the first 2 and I don’t know how so anything from today would be nice as well!

Hope we have a plan rather than try and stop theirs. Can we make it past HT without making a sub or changing formation?

[anton123]

Come on rovers we need a big performance here to get are season up and running , performance wise

The same young men that are there that’s apart from Jones Andrews and Long we signed the others for the future and to put out on loan but they are the only ones  available for the bench. I wonder if Seaman is on his way or a loan.
When and if Molyneux and Close are ready we should look a bit better.

[Metalmicky]

First yellow comes early........

[anton123]

To be fair to tomlin he is looking a class above so far today

[steve@dcfd]

He did in preseason as well if that counts

[Barmby Rover]

Wombles on top, it depends who scores first as to the final result here I reckon.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

DFP saying....

14 CLOSE!

Maxwell’s cross-cum-shot drifts just wide of the far post.

Fairly confident start by Rovers, this. They’re seeing plenty of the ball.

[RoversAlias]

Wimbledon have had several chances since then, mind.

[karldew]

We seem to have a lot of the ball but just not a lot happening with it. Tight game

[glosterred]

30) OFF THE POST. Lee Tomlin curls a free kick over the wall and strikes the woodwork

[Barmby Rover]

Rovers getting better by the sounds of it.

[Batleyred]

Enjoying this so far, Biggins fires over from 30 yards

[ScillyRover]

Better performance. Tomlin has been class.

[jmt23]

We need to score, we can all see and hear what will happen here!!!

[Donny Dub]

Biggins  looking confident today, he’s made good forward runs and just hit a strong shot just off target.  Good lad.

[Donny Dub]

We’re playing a good passing game today, good tactics in the heat.   Make Wimbledon do the running about.  We do need a goal before the break though.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Sounds good. Results will come if we play well regardless of what happens today.

Be great to get a early goal 2nd half now

[ScillyRover]

HT 0-0 Much better performance in posession. A bit slow paced but understandable in the conditions. We are getting forward with some nice passing moves. Just lacking a finish.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Trouble with BBC text, they miss stuff

45+4 CORNER

More decent build-up play ends with Miller’s shot deflecting behind for a corner.

Shot not recorded on their stats.

Sounds like a good half.

[EasyforDennis]

We are by far the better side and playing some great football. Tomlin showing his class. Maybe one day we might get a referee who shows a bit of consistency.

[Scooter]

Really good first half performance. Just lacking the final magic. Fair play to Tomlin as he has been excellent. Overall good team performance so far and great to see Big Tom back. I hope he stays fit and has a long run in the side
