Stat attack v Bury:

Games won: 18
Games drawn: 11
Games lost: 30

Results in recent history against Bury has been poor, maybe even worse than against Yeovil!
In the last 20 years we have won 3 and lost 11. Hopefully Saturday will see us start to turn the tide against The Shakers.

Bury's a shit hole, I'm glad we're at home.


2-1 Rovers, I'm saying.

Yep, my alltime worst ground too.
1-1.for me.

[Al4475]

3-0: Williams Hat-trick, Stuckman clean sheet and Chaplow gets MOM! YAY!

Haha!

[Dare to dream!]

Rovers XI: Stuckmann, McCullough, Jones(c), Butler, Taylor-Sinclair, Wellens, Chaplow, Forrester, Coppinger, Main, Williams.

Dissapointed Lund did't get his start but very happy Main is starting. I think he is going to be our main man this year.

[DonnyRed1992]

That's actually a good strong line up.

No Keegan or N'guessan?

[les@donr]

I remember going to Bury, having to walk through a market to get to their ground, not a great one.

3-1 rovers.

Good line up, who is on the bench?

[DonnyRed1992]

Rovers subs: Marosi, Evina, Tyson, Mackenzie, Lund, Middleton, Whitehouse. #drfc

[bobjimwilly]

August 2004 since we last won a season opener at home

August 2004 since we last won a season opener at home 

How many times have we started at home in that time?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Mixed memories of Gigg Lane.

Seen us get royally arse-holed there several times. But also saw THE finest left-foot volley you will ever see. Leo: to Blundell: Oh my WORD!

Rovers subs: Marosi, Evina, Tyson, Mackenzie, Lund, Middleton, Whitehouse. #drfc

Cheers!

[les@donr]

If BBC report on the game is accurate, we are dominating the game, need to turn that into goals.

[DonnyRed1992]

Good chance from a corner Butler header well saved apparently.

[bobjimwilly]

Barnsley 1-0 v Chesterfield. Blades losing 1-0 to Gillingham.

[DonnyRed1992]

Stuckman is keeping us in this.

Leon Clarke is causing us issues

[bobjimwilly]

INTO MAIN.... and wide   

[Dare to dream!]

Awful first half, Bury should be ahead by at least one.

Happy New Season.

[les@donr]

Has our appalling home form last season haunting the team this season, hope not!

[Bristol Red Rover]

It's not sounding great is it!

[BillyStubbsTears]

For the record, my gonads are fully retracted in anticipation.

[thorneydave]

Defence comfortable but all at sea a few times
Centre mid awful
Wingers mediocre
Curtis main the comedy player - so terrible it could be funny
Williams hardly touched the ball

[jonnydog]

Stuckman looks class, Main looks shite.

Same old Saturday

[les@donr]

Bury look a half decent side, if we are not taking our chances, again like last season, Bury will take theirs. Need PD to earn his corn, with an inspirational half time team talk.

[ZiggerZagger]

Got to feel sorry for Williams, he's pulling their back line all over and Main..... words fail me. Only playing with 10 men.

[les@donr]

Maybe a change is needed at HT to tighten up the defence, MacKenzie perhaps?

[Colemans Left Hook]

Maybe a change is needed at HT to tighten up the defence, McKenzie perhaps?

EXACTLY but it's a difficult situation subbing "you know who" 

it would be interesting to know if Main performs better when rovers play away
got a feeling he's scored more away than home ?

[Guernsey Exile]

Chill out. 45 minutes into a 9 month season.

[Bristol Red Rover]

At least it's sounding like a more exciting game... or is that because I turned the volume up?

[jonnydog]

Black bank sound good though, keep it up lads!!
