Post by: DearneValleyRover on February 12, 2011, 01:08:13 pm: Well I'm still suffering from the flu, over 2 weeks now so can't go. Hopefully the lads can make me feel better. A 4-1 win would put a smile on my miserable clock :(

Bad tempered game.. think we should give a bit back of what we've been receiving

Post by: Barmby Rover on February 12, 2011, 03:51:49 pm: The ref needs to grow some and start to deal with them in the way he should have done this half.

Post by: I-was-there1976 on February 12, 2011, 03:52:56 pm: 1 shot on 2 shots off

Sharp upfront on his own

no wonder the f**king crowd is quiet all the time. Boring football

Nice fluidity though

Post by: ScillyRover on February 12, 2011, 04:13:38 pm: 0-2 :(

Post by: CottyRover on February 12, 2011, 04:26:57 pm: Positive substitutions - perhaps would have been good earlier? At least there's time to put things right!

Yeah... Hird didn't know whether he was coming or going in the first half. Too similar to Keegan when he's in midfield

Agreed. We're 9 points clear with 1 game in hand (2 against some teams).
