I'm starting this early, seeing as I'm off to Ibiza in the morning (Cussy, no robbing my house! Filo has got your buttp1ug!)
I'm going for a 1-0 win, Shiels with a little shimmy on the edge of the box which sends the keeper the wrong way, and he rolls it into the other corner.
MoM - Copps. always a danger.
-
I know its been posted on other threads, but the anticipation for me is increased by memories of going to Deepdale for the opening game of the season when we'd just won promotion to the old Third Division under Billy Bremner. Those are still golden days for me, but how much better have we done already!
I'm excited about this season, I think it's going to be a good one, and I don't see why we shouldn't kick off with a result.
-
1-1 with a billy pen to make up for the one he missed
at deepadale last term
-
0-1 Brooker from the bench ;)
-
Match preview for this game now available on Viva Rovers (http://vivarovers.wordpress.com/2010/08/06/north-end-lights-preston-preview-2/). As is now customary with these threads I'm going for a draw. A score one. Rovers will play the better football, Preston will score from a set-piece.
-
Be great if we could get off to a flyer and do what Watford did last night. If Billy can do what Danny Graham did and bag a couple of goals we're sure to come away with something.
I can see a 2-2 though as I think our defence are still unsure of themselves.
-
Im going to say 2-1, Billy and Deano with the goals and preston scoring late on.

When does the Lucky Pint on Yahoo start?
-
Apparently Stocks is suffering from a bad case of Amnesia and thinks he's still a PNE player and as gone into the wrong changing rooms. :(
-
Would someone sign me in? sandylane_drfc@yahoo.com
thanks!
-
When it's going can someone add chris.buxton1 please?
-
Good, strong starting XI. I've just got 18-1 on Sharp for top scorer so hopefully he'll open his account today!
-
Here we go. Good luck everyone !
-
Am I doing something wrong? Is it on yet?
Oh, please help!
-
How's the game going? Any pattern of play forming yet?
-
On Player. Chris Mortley has been doing some good commentary but, he sometimes tends to waffle on instead of keeping up with play.
First corner.

O'Connor is worth ten times more!!!!!
-
i cant understand how brooker is on the bench,i mean he seemed
well off the pace against wba and i understand was near
enough same against sheff weds.
maybe this why iam a dead leg and not a football manager
-
2-0
Hayter
:scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

He's the only other proper striker we've got. All the rest like Hayter and Fairhurst seem more like players who play just behind the striker.
-
Apart form any considerations of form I think the only other fit player on the books is Clark

Kin ell John, give the lad a chance, he is an animal that needs to be involved, quality is there without doubt, so what does he need?
To be involved and unleashed!!
-
sounds like the games levelled out a bit.. still got the more possession
-
treacy and gillett handbags lol
-
we need half time and calm down
-
Certainly seems more even now. Brown and Hayes running at Lockwood and Martis. Shelton now booked.
Gillet and the full-backs seem to be creating the most for Rovers.

-
millwall 3 up at bristol now
That's 'cause I put the titties on the accumulator! :blink: :blush:
Donny need to weather the storm - you'll always come under the cosh for periods away from home but we can hit 'em on the break and kill the game off.

1 match ban for Gillett. Does it come into immediate effect for second booking? If so he'd only miss the Accrington game so not too bad.

Agreed I think Payne will do well- Gillet - I get the feeling he has to play out of his skin to have a good game where Payne perhaps has more ability ?

Sounded like a great match! Although I've only followed the Rovers since 2005 fromL1, where they have consistently progressed upwards to this point, I still can appreciate where they came from. Having said that though, it appears that this season will be a truly remarkable and exciting one. The talent of both the team and management is superb Would have loved to have seen it -- or even heard it in the L.P. Sadly, never got into the L.P., but the updates on this thread helped a lot -- even though I was so nervous in the second half, I couldn't even do that!
FAO Filo: will PM you for assistance r/t L.P if that's ok so I don't appear a total arse on here (tho that can't be helped!) :-)
Well done and cheers.

To bring the thread almost full circle. There's a match report now up on Viva Rovers (http://vivarovers.wordpress.com)
