Title: Rovers v Bolton
Post by: RoversAlias on February 11, 2020, 06:32:05 pm
Tremendous weather for us attending tonight, so maybe the Lucky Pint is the place to be tonight!

Our match preview can be found here:

https://www.intotheemptynet.com/post/iten-match-preview-bolton-h (https://www.intotheemptynet.com/post/iten-match-preview-bolton-h)

And I'll try to put the teams up when they are announced in 15 minutes!

Four changes for Rovers:

ROVERS
Dieng
Halliday
Anderson
Wright
James
Sheaf
Whiteman
Sadlier
Coppinger
Ennis
Okenabirhie

Happy with that personally, we need Sheaf and Copps in to retain the ball tonight and I'm looking forward to seeing what Okenabirhie can do from the start.

BOLTON
Matthews
Emmanuel
Bryan
Hobbs
Fleming
Hamilton
Lowe
L. Murphy
Dodoo
D. Murphy
O'Grady

Perfect team that in my opinion
Gomes looks like he’s paying for the Rochdale goal

You may be right about Gomes, but I'm surprised he's not even on the bench.

Presumably Okenabirhie up front and Ennis part of the forward line behind?

Doesn’t seem to be that much wind surprisingly.

Wind is going sideways but has died down since just before kick off. Rovers playing well so far, made a few good chances.

Sadlier’s had their left back on toast a few times now. Once straight on Okenabirhie’s head 6 yards out, but he couldn’t get any power or direction on it to trouble the keeper, and another that Ennis should maybe have gambled on that whipped across the 6 yrs box.

Fej missed a good chance. Weak header after a decent cross. Then another good cross all the way across the goalmouth and there’s nobody in to finish it.

Yes Ennis ought to have been in there rather than expecting one if the defenders to clear it.

The bloke did not 'go over the ball' he got to the ball first, clearly, very clearly, he kicks it away towards the middle of the park. The follow through has caught James. Its a 50/50 challenge. One of those things. Hard to say there was any malice in it.

Absolutely. He gets there first and manages to get the pass off; he certainly doesn't go over the top of it.

You look like a very decent team. Your right hand side in particular is causing us problems. It has to be pointed out though, and this is in no way intending to take the gloss of your performance because you're much better, I'd be surprised if you come up against a worst defence all season. Just dreadful on our part.

Jesus Christ, 3 poor, poor mistakes - a bad throw by Dieng, a worse back pass by Sheaf after we’d got the ball back, and then Dieng fannying when he should have put his foot through it. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, Bolton right back in it now.

Sorry bobjimwilly, I had to come off this thread after that as my phone had been haemorrhaging battery so didn't see your post. Will try and put a post up in the morning with it as I actually watched the entire goal through my photo lens and got both the diving header and Copps' cross in photos. Just wish my Samsung had a better camera in it for combatting the floodlights!
