Title: Rovers v Wycombe
Post by: RoversAlias on February 29, 2020, 12:56:39 pm
Two hours or so until kick-off, as Rovers look to keep their faint Play-Off hopes alive against one of the division's best sides.

You can read our Match Preview of the game here: https://www.intotheemptynet.com/post/iten-match-preview-wycombe-h1920 (https://www.intotheemptynet.com/post/iten-match-preview-wycombe-h1920)

My interview with Wycombe fan Tom Hancock from Chairboys Central is well worth a read too, available here: https://www.intotheemptynet.com/post/match-preview-xtra-chairboys2 (https://www.intotheemptynet.com/post/match-preview-xtra-chairboys2)

Team line-ups should be announced in just over an hour. Let's hope for three big points this afternoon!

No complaints about that line up.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wycombe
Post by: RoversAlias on February 29, 2020, 02:06:07 pm
My only disagreement would be Sheaf instead of Gomes, I'm not sure why he would drop Sheaf. However, I'm glad Sadlier is back and delighted for Amos. Hopefully he takes his chance.

No complaints about that line up.

Two from me - I’d rather see Sheaf in for Gomes, and I don’t think Cole has done much so far so I’d prefer to see Ennis back up front (where he was very effective the last few games he played there) and Taylor or Copps starting behind.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wycombe
Post by: Filo on February 29, 2020, 02:26:40 pm
I get the feeling Copps is being phased out

I don’t..

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 29, 2020, 02:29:17 pm
Can see the merit in that line up. Perhaps agree with others though with the preference of Sheaf.

Ideally, Fejiri would be in the front 3 but obviously not available.

Good luck to Amos I hope he shows again what he can do. He delivers great crosses into the box.

Hope we get to see a few minutes of Lokilo.

nice to see Amosquito get a start hopefully he can fly down the wing and put in some stinging crosses  :scarf:

a lot to look forward to today with Lokiko on the bench as well
Title: Re: Rovers v Wycombe
Post by: Alan Southstand on February 29, 2020, 02:58:52 pm
He’s put Sheaf on the bench to cover either defensive midfield or centre back. John has had to sit this one out to make way for Lokilo.

Baptiste is there for CB cover. I think it's also a question of rotating the loanees, probably depending on more than random factors. Lokilo has sounded like he was due a 1st team appearance, and John is the one making way.

I don’t think so, Baptiste is on the bench so there’s your centre half cover. He could also still start and drop back if needed. I think Moore has just mixed it up as he likes to do, Gomes for whatever reason must be better suited to this opposition.

Title: Re: Rovers v Wycombe
Post by: sedwardsdrfc on February 29, 2020, 03:25:05 pm
I'd have started Taylor over Cole i think. Good option to come off the bench though but i'm sure he'd like to be starting

 when i saw Fred Onyedinma get a mention on the BBC text playing for Wycombe i thought for a minute somehow Rovers had transferred him  :suicide:

on checking  we have

Fejiri Okenabirhie

it would have been a nightmare for the match commentators with both playing

We were much better in the last 10-15 mins. Amos looking decent as the half went on.

First decent bit of quality and we score.

Officials are poor, and Wycombe are going down like they have been shot at every contact..

Post by: Copps is Magic on February 29, 2020, 03:56:01 pm
A tale of two halves (of the first half). First 25 minutes worryingly bad, but came into in last part of the half. We look better when we speed things up, quick passing, movement.

Not bad, not done anything wrong certainly. A brief moment of nimble footwork on the edge of their box but got crowded out in the end.

Another thing to mention about Amos is that he takes the corners of the right and some of the freekicks and he looks to have a mean curved ball.

I've suggested a few times that i would like to see Copps actually in the box or near instead of taking the corners but never had a reply comment, for me we need the playmaker right in front of the target.

Mind you... that referee was dire from start to finish. I hope he enjoyed his first game of football.

I didn’t think it was a foul when we got he free kick for our second goal too.  The ref was shite.
