Rovers Vs Salford

[ian1980]

Tonight’s line up:

[Barmby Rover]

Quite predictable with our injury list, but they haven't been doing a bad job recently! Rovers to win 2 - 0.

[Peebles Rover]

Evening gents

[Peebles Rover]

Think it might be a 2-2 draw tonight

[Barmby Rover]

1 down already!

[Peebles Rover]

Jeez, they should have scored with their first attack after 30 seconds

[bpoolrover]

Poor defending

[RoversInSpain]

I’ve had it with concrete boots Oluwu.

[Jersey Rover]

Jones glued

[NickDRFC]

Looks like Sean Thornton’s back in the side tonight!

Poor start, they should have been ahead within 30 seconds and then we’re within a minute. Olowu arguably shouldn’t even be back in the team and didn’t appear to even challenge for the ball.

I’ve had it with concrete boots Oluwu.

No coincidence that it’s when he comes back into the team. However, it was a shocking start. They should have scored in 30 seconds and we stay switched off when the ball comes back into the area.

[Thorney]

Chill guys, plenty of time. This is just to show that this team has the metal to come from behind

[Peebles Rover]

Responded well

[RoversInSpain]

Defo, get at em

[Barmby Rover]

Salford sitting back a bit, not a good option with 60 minutes to go. COYR!!!

[Barmby Rover]

2 down!

[Barmby Rover]

Well that will be game over unless we really shake them up.

[RoversInSpain]

Crosses… 3 years and counting

[ScillyRover]

Goal well taken by Smith but Anderson caught totally flat footed. Defensive frailties still there.

[Chris Black come back]

Same as always when we play against a massive stack of shit like Smith. We had it against Sunderland with that freak show Charlie Wyke. Same with Akinfenwa. Same with Smith. Simple balls in and we get bullied by the big lad. Anderson nowhere near that second goal. Ball watching.

[goalkick]

Easily out jumped.

[Chris Black come back]

So frustrating. Smith has one and one attribute only. We've seen it over the years and it is always exactly the same. Total one trick pony and we fall for it every single time. Only bright spot is he is 34 so hopefully will be f**king off into retirement before too long.

[dknward2]

Too easy for Salford we need to score before half time and keep them out

[Thorney]

I'm blaming westbrooke just for that choice of haircolour. Nothing good comes of a player dying their hair bleach blonde.

Joking aside

We really need to be better with our crosses. They haven't been good.

Looking a bit leggy

[Barmby Rover]

This is where we feel the lack of backup off the bench, very few options for GM to switch things round.

[DonnyNoel]

Could see this coming, and I mean that not in a critical way, just a bit of a realistic one. Threadbare squad against a team with a physical weapon. Frustrating as we'd probably beat them with a couple more bodies back.

[Chris Black come back]

They don't have much about them but whenever the ball goes into our box we absolutely shit our pants worrying about Smith. Shitty kecks all round for Anderson and Olowu. Both of them but Anderson especially has done poorly against him.

[RoversInSpain]

Nowt to do with injuries… our defending of balls into our box is an absolute shambles.

[jmt23]

“Fans” some of them should be ashamed booing at half time. That is some of the best football I’ve seen from us in years!

[Chris Black come back]

We've looked great with the ball but aside from two situations we haven't in any way harmed them with that possession. Smith while being a totally one dimensional player who probably types in his PIN code using his head, has been the difference. A half decent ball in to him and our lads shit their pants. Seen it so many times and never changes.
