I'm en route to the game now, currently in a train carriage somewhere in Oxfordshire surrounded by rugger buggers on their way to Twickenham. It's as delightful as it sounds.

To lighten the mood a little here's Viva Rovers' match preview (http://vivarovers.wordpress.com/2010/11/27/eagles-eyed-crystal-palace-preview/)

Only an hour and 40mins to go to Paddington

Are you coming to the Coal hole (Strand)?

I was planning on it, but I'm now off to gatecrash my fellow Wales fans pre-match drinks before they go to QPR v Cardiff. Are there post-match Coal Hole plans?

Yep - we're heading into the British Legion (simply sign-in at the door, just a book there last season, no-one sat there) which I think is nearest to Norwood Junction.  The locals all know where it is precisely.

0 - 3 to Rovers today, and a push towards the playoffs continues, back to back wins as we destroy the Dingles little run next week as well!

Seems like Rovers should collect three points here. This is the Championship though and Palace should be battling for their lives.

I fear a loss.

0-2 Palace

Won't be putting money on it though.

Sounds like we're having plenty of possession but pussyfooting about with it. Wasting free kicks again when it good positions play playing it short.

They seem to be sucking us in and hitting us quick. Roles reversed from last week !!

Post by: RoversAlias on November 27, 2010, 06:14:38 pm
Win some, lose some. I expected a tough game today and probably not a winning effort. We're still doing really well, we can't bang in the goals every week. Hell we had 6 attacking players on at once near the end today, just not our day I'm afraid.

The boys will be gearing up for the Barnsley game by lunch on Monday I imagine. We're still in a damn good position in this league.

Bit disappointed today. Had a lot of possession 1st half and got hit with a sucker punch. We had a few chances before their goal and a hell of a lot of good football played. We didn't come out strongly at the start of the second but finished pretty well. I think this will continue to be the way things go with our results. It was similar at Coventry. We don't look that threatening on corners though, 15 and I can't remember threatening the goal too much with those 15. Their keeper was outstanding, always impressed with him. He made a few great saves, as did Sully. Sully kept us in it at times, as did the post. Don't think we should be too disappointed, we will batter someone at some point the way we play.

15 corners and only 7 (yes 7!)shots on or off target ALL game, have we forgotten to shoot again.  :ohmy:

Post by: DRFCSouth on November 27, 2010, 08:58:12 pm
It is sometimes one pass too many. We quite often look like the cleverest team in the league on the ball with the intricate passing but its not always needed. They did get some quality shots off but none close enough to make  you think \"he should have scored there\". Can't complain too much though, they did play some great stuff and I'd rather them get beat 1-0 and play like that than 1-0 and do nothing and play hoof ball. I know that might attract some criticism, some people would say a loss is a loss but its generally entertaining watching us. We just need more of a killer instinct at times.
