If they’re into kicking in the back, give them some back. We have to compete and show them we’re no pushovers.

Just one of them really. Good wing play from their right winger who looks v dangerous
Title: Re: Salford vs Rovers
Post by: Sammy Chung was King on February 13, 2024, 08:39:11 pm
Important that we get up the pitch and threaten their backline. Otherwise there will be too much pressure and we will concede. Adelakun, Ironside etc need to be in the game.
Title: Re: Salford vs Rovers

One for the stattos.
What’s the highest scoring game for rovers where every goal for rovers has been an own goal.?
Title: Re: Salford vs Rovers
Post by: ncRover on February 13, 2024, 08:40:47 pm
A draw is a very good result away from home to a team with a lot more momentum than us
Title: Re: Salford vs Rovers
Post by: Silkscarf on February 13, 2024, 08:40:58 pm
Karl Robinson is incredibly unlikeable

He’ll hopefully get a second yellow. He’s been outside his box most of the first half as if he’s marking Senior.

If I was senior I would’ve stamped on his toes, he just like Arteta for Arsenal walks (sometimes runs) out to stop/slow the throw.

I agree we need to get at their defence, the big central lad number 16, i think is a red card waiting to happen, he isn’t playing football, I’m not sure how that has become acceptable in football, along with cynical fouling.

Overall not too bad, they have edged it though.

We need to try and nick one, then put another full back on each side late on to toughen up the midfield and hold the result.

Post by: Sammy Chung was King on February 13, 2024, 09:00:55 pm
Need to be a little more effective at getting Adelakun and Molyneux into the game further forward. Is there a case to give us more solidity in putting Maxwell in on the left, two full backs on the one side, alternating going forward.

Wrexham edging Sutton away, Bradford handing a right hammering out to Mk Dons.
Title: Re: Salford vs Rovers
Post by: ncRover on February 13, 2024, 09:05:43 pm
There’s no one available to make an attacking change.

Hurst would look like a lost ball boy in this game.

Broadbent or Rowe just behind Ironside would be one of the few options we have. Or put Maxwell wide left and either Molyneux or Adelakun just behind Ironside.

We need to target their left hand side, of the defence. Both on bookings, force them into a mistake. Trying to make the midfield more solid with that change. Get more control of the possession.

One shot on target and a goal. The big guy does it again. Wait a bit longer then get the full backs on doubling up on the flanks. Yellow for Bailey, we will get a reputation for getting dug in.

Competing for control, we’ve missed that most of the season. McCann has got it spot on tactically so far. We’ve rode our luck at times but deserved it.
That result at Mansfield could be the start of a downturn for Harrogate.

Ironsides miss was the easiest chance of the night.

If Commentators could affect a result or the game we would have ended with 7 men as we consistently left our feet in , push shoved and pull that lightweight CF Smith

Their team on the other had racked up 17 fouls most of which he couldnt see what the Ref had seen whereas we eventually got to 17 fouls which beggared belief as we did nothing BUT foul
