Awful first half. Different team in the second. More fight than I have seen from a Rovers side in a long time.

Great game. Lots of passion and pace.  We deserved to win on the night. Woods pulled off a great save to keep us in it, and when we scored our second there was only one team going to win.    :scarf:

That was like the JPT v Crewe and I haven't left the KM with such a buzz for a very long time, winning was fantastic but the determination and passion shown by the players was even better, Husband looks as comfortable on the right has he does on the left, what a find. Tommy Spurr links up on the left allowing the wingers to cut in side, Harper grew into the game and started to boss the middle. Syers was tireless, linked up well was always showing for the ball and obviously scored twice but Copps was outstanding best player on the pitch apart from Husband. Oh and Gary Woods pulled off 2 fantastic saves, might have been 3 and only looked dodgy on one cross.

Fantastic performance in the second half they deserve a big tie for that.

Woodsy just needs games consistently and he'll come good.

Well well well. Got to say that was superb. I think we was still in the changing rooms for the first 20 mins. Keegan,Harper, bossed the midfield second half. Syers looked like he played up front, won headers tackled and scored 2 good goals. Harper must start on sat. Blake played well just lacks a bit of pace. All in all a very good night. We kicked lumps out of mind. Captain fantastic picked us up and drove us on for the win. Great player.

That's the best value for £10 I've ever had. I'm proper hoarse now. What a game.

I genuinely pity those who couldn't make it for whatever reason tonight. They missed an absolute barnstormer.

I thought we'd get slammed 0-5 after that first 20 minutes. Hull were faster and better all over the pitch.
Then out of nowhere the "big man" up front, Copps gets up to win a header and Syers whacks in a great strike. From then on Rovers were a different side.
Very well played all 11.

Dull blog has a match report from a fan who didn't go.....lad sounds bitter to be honest!

As for Donny being "armpit town", got to say that if you live in Hull, an escape to anywhere would be welcome.

Just looked at that crap. That was 5 minutes of my life wasted. t**t. And he slates us for rubbing it in about div3 title. He obviously prefers to forget the "pub team" comments from Humberside.

I rather enjoyed that too. I like the fact the flyby still rankles after all these years.

I love you,  Wayne. Your delusions of grandeur and your snubbing of a match involving a club you purport to support for the simple reason it was against us is ignamy of the highest order,  and has just been the cherry on the cake of a great hull-bashing night.

Serious question. Can we play you every week?

I feel "sorry" for the kid in South Stand probably about Q435 or so who got up and left after 10 minutes with the score of course 0-2

It WAS a display similar to Crewe JPT and I too got real value for my Tenner

Tremedous come from behind win especially after the display v Crawley

EVEN the Ref could not mar the night although he tried his best to do so

I did say to the wife that if we are losing 2-0 at half time we would leave 10/15 mins later Sayers steps up to the mark so glad he did one of the top five games in the keepmoat

I had thoughts of the Crewe game too.
Nice to see us scoring a few goals as well and importantly a few different players getting their names on the scoresheet.

Yes, it makes the flyby well worth it when it got under the skin as much as that!

 :clapping: best game i have been too for a long time, second half was brilliant can't wait for next game.
i feel the team we have now has great potential and needs us to bring them more support.  Brilliant game rovers loved it.

Post by: roversontheup on August 29, 2012, 10:55:24 am
I am another one comparing last night to the Crewe cup match. Especially when Syers scored the winner. It was a real JJ Price moment!
Agree also that it was the most exciting match I have seen for a long time......and the tackles....how I enjoyed seeing those.  Mind you a few of Harpers were a bit wild!

Rob Jones Funny as F@ck(second half ) when their lad got away from him near the half way line and then headed towards goal.....Rob (not wanting him to get away) decided to take one for the team and deliberately tried to trip him up ,not once but twice, but fortunately he missed twice.  :)

A good job he did or we'd have been down to 10 men and probably been deprived of that great finale ,  because he'd have got a Yellow for it to go with the one he picked up later.

Emotional rollercoaster. Thought we were in for a real stuffing after the first 10 mins with some poor defending for the goals. Syers' first goal gave me some hope, fabulous strike with a great assist from Copps. Second half real swashbuckling cup tie stuff leading to an ecstatic finale.
Thought Husband's tackle on Cainey was fair if very robust. Didn't see the sending off incident.
Disppointed with Blake. Have to say not sure what he gives us based on last night. Seemed to lose possession every time he got the ball.
Finally, the reaction of some of our fans to Cainey after he was injured left me with a bad taste. The lad was clearly not faking it and to react in that way was unsporting to say the least.

I think the issue was more a case of they should have got him off the pitch to allow play to continue...........
Now if Mr K had been reffing he'd have been dragging him off the pitch

Post by: RobTheRover on August 29, 2012, 12:37:31 pm
I agree, Daggers.  I think that was what people were shouting for, to get him off to be treated rather than hold up play for 3 minutes.

Hull are reporting he will be out for 6 months this morning.  http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/Bruce-s-fury-Hull-City-lose-Tom-Cairney-crash-cup/story-16780811-detail/story.html (http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/Bruce-s-fury-Hull-City-lose-Tom-Cairney-crash-cup/story-16780811-detail/story.html)

What baffled me was that he managed, all be it gingerly, to walk off the pitch without even a limp, yet seconds after coming back on he is rolling about in agony :ermm:

Sounds like I missed a belter of a match. Gutted to not be there but a cracking result.

I'm loathe to comment having not been there but that's two games now (along with Bury) where we've been slow out of the blocks. Hopefully something that the management will be addressing.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 29, 2012, 07:07:36 pm
In a team I played we used to have a £1 each bet on who could get the first tackle in (didn't matter if it was a foul), that way you come out of the blocks and you make yourself known to your opposite number!!

Would anyone take the trouble to let me know whether Paul Keegan had a decent game last night?

Thanks in advance and good luck.
Title: Re: How did we play tonight?
Post by: Harrogate Rover on August 29, 2012, 07:41:45 pm
Thought he had a good game. Got through a lot of work, kept it simple,  A la' Mark Wilson. Played the full 90 minutes. On last nights evidence for me he's a useful squad member, If eveyones fit he's not going to start every game but will do a job for the team when he does. Again a la Mark Wilson!

Keegan also managed to upset McKenna with a tough tackle, which led to their captain Dawson getting involved early in the second half.  :boxing:

Keegan did well imo. I like him. Not affraid to get stuck in.
