Strong bench too, good to see we have plenty of back up.
-
Would’ve liked McCullough in middle of park to add a bit of cover for the defence. 3 attacking players could leave us open. Especially away from home
-
Good 11 and strong bench plus missing players in Luke and young Alfie
-

McCann has said on the radio that he has no injuries and therefore a full squad to choose from.
I thought Luke would have at least been on the bench.
Personally I would have had him in the team instead of Whiteman.
-
On a side note, I see the new rule in L1 looks like being keep playing until Sunderland score.

Good morning everyone, great weather here in Eastern Canada, hope it's the same in Southend, be a great season opener, would be wonderful day if we can secure a win, we have a team who can do it.
-
By the way there is actually a new rule in the EFL this season.
Each club must name at least one 'homegrown' player in the 18 man team sheet, or only name 17 players. Oversimplifying 'homegrown' means having played at least a year (I think) in our own age group teams. Lund and Amos and most of our youth players qualify (not Watters and not sure about Blaney).
Also re McCullough, always a chance he was ill on the day

ROVCON 2
Edit have just seen BST's post on main board, so 1 is high tension, 5 low

-
So, owt happening in the game??
-
Good save Marossi
-
Shots on target Southend 3 Rovers 0
-
Southend on top at the minute.
-
Two good saves by Marko.
-
Sounds like it's all one way at the moment , and not our way.
-
7 attempts to 0
-
southend 60% possession, 4 shots on target 4 corners 1 shot off target. Rovers 40% posession
-
Come on Rovers stop fecking abaht
-
We are all over the place, shocking currently
-
Well done Marosi.not looking good.not happening midfield.
-
Southend all over us only marko keeping us in it should be about 3 nil to Southend tbh
-
Lulling them into a false sense of security and then .....BHAM ....just like a Batman movie
-
Ahh this free flowing attacking football is going well.
-
Seems like shooting practice for them.
10 shots in 20 minutes is worrying.
-
We need to get on the ball quick and put a few passes together we sound all over the place at the moment. First game though plenty of time, hopefully we settle down a bit
-
"Counter pressing" going well then.
-
Marosi again keeps us level.
-
Not the midfield for an away game.
Very worrying mcann thinks it is
-
Who's gone missing in action then?
-
Marosi playing out of his skin could be 4 down
-
Thank god for marko
-
Wasn't worried at first...first game, home team up for it and out of the traps early as you would expect but you can see they think the breakthrough is imminent. Just lacking a mister to put his foot on it and keep the ball at present.
-
This is not sounding good at all
-
We winning on passes yet ?
-
We do sound totally under the cosh seriously one sided for 25 minutes
-
Early days with new formation away against an established side..doesn't surprise me. Equally not ideal.
-
Totally at 6's and 7's up to now
-
Midfield combination not working up to now
-
Gone for a pint now!!!!!
-
They seem to be getting alot of shots in from the edge of the box which sounds like we're outnumbered in the middle of the park.
-
Good save from Marquis header ... but offside given
-
13 - 0 attempts after 30 mins
-
It’s cause we’ve no defensive minded player anywhere apart from the back 4
It was blatantly going to be a problem
-
2nd half we are gonna do the same to them ;)
-
We can only hope when our chance comes we need to take it
-
thing is a 433 should become a 451 when we don't have the ball especially away we must just be getting caught with everyone too high up which gives them the space
-
Time to put a first scorer bet down on Marko I think .....
-
Have we the players to play a counter attacking game? Not looking good at the moment. Get to HT 0-0 and reshape the team.
-
Marko v. Sarfend there can be only one winner ;)
-
I know it's a point you're going to keep pressing, and as it stands that's understandable. Players should be able to defend as well as attack however if we're outnumbered then collectively they are not doing their jobs. Looks like maybe Kane might be required sooner rather than later.
-
Have we the players to play a counter attacking game? Not looking good at the moment. Get to HT 0-0 and reshape the team.
We seem to have the defence/keeper to absorb the pressure to be able to then counter attack.
-
God knows how they haven't scored
-
If this an attacking formation, 4/3/3,its Southend's 14 shots on goal to Donny's nil what would happen if we wanted to play defensively?
-
We’re just not up to speed, think he should have played the 1st team in more friendlies
-

Can we have 11x Marko though on the new rules ?
-
They won't let us have the ball the mardy bas**rds!
-
Newsflash: We have had a shot! Went over.
-
We've had 2 shots now, here we come
-
Rovers to win 2-0 , all I'm reading is fake news - we are all over them
-
Not the midfield for an away game.
Very worrying mcann thinks it is
Especially in this heat.
-
Wow! Two consecutive attempts on goal!
-
This first 45 minutes is like the second 45 minutes the day we won there in the FA Cup in our first season in the Conference!
Liking the look of Crawford though.
-

Dangerous tactic, a defence can only last for so long before the opposition score. To play the counter attacking game the ball has to be moved fast out of defence through midfield to the attacking players.
-
Sky bet stats, Southend Shots on target 8 off target 3 corners 5 possession 57%
Rovers Shots on target 0 off target 1, corners 0 possession 43%
Looks like a team who haven't got a clue what they are doing.
-
How have we survived that. Oh well sort it out GM get them going and it could be a different match 2nd half.
-
The only plus point from that half is we didn't concede

Yes, though we must be doing something right to have completed the first half and come away with a clean sheet.
-
They won't let us have the ball the mardy bas**rds!
BBC stats say we've had 53% possession, for what it's worth
-
It does remind me a little of the sheff Utd friendly we battered them and had loads of chances and their keeper made some worldies to keep them in it, we lost 2-0 , could this go the same way and we come out and play in the 2nd half
-
Well, that must be a big learning curve! Could be worse.
-
They won't let us have the ball the mardy bas**rds!
BBC stats say we've had 53% possession, for what it's worth
But Guardian stats say we've only had 38%. Sounds more likely

Sounds like marosi has been outstanding
-
Organising to absorb pressure and hitting on the break is one thing.
Being run ragged and conceding a load of chances with nowt in reply is another.
We sound more like the latter.
McCann needs to change something here.
-
Done well to keep that to nil fingers crossed we come out fighting and score early
-
Come on rovers 2nd half
-
What do we expect with only three midfield players that’s the way it’s going to be.
-
It sounds like we are playing with 1 though not even 3
-
What do we expect with only three midfield players that’s the way it’s going to be.
Yeah, Barcelona are shit. Let's play 4-4-2.
-
This is why McCullough needed to be on the bench at least
-
This is why McCullough needed to be on the bench at least
I thought he would have been on the bench
-
With 3 in midfield, they've all got to work their butt's off. You only need one not to be on his game and it all falls apart.
First chance to Rovers in 2nd half
-
Straight at it after the break, come on rovers

I'm not saying that the team is doing really well, but I'm sniffing out a positive in finding something that could be built upon
-
Goal

HHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Get in

YYYYEEEESSSSS!!!!
-
Easy! :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
You can't write it can you

Get in! Marquis

Yes! J M :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
-
Haha, that's crazy.
Get in.
-
It’s been coming 😂
-
Hopefully we can push on and get more goals.
-
Marquis can anybody else score name in lights again
-
FAB!
-
I believe in this only attack in the 2nd half tactics ;)
-
Apparently his 42nd goal in 100 appearances! Not bad, eh?

Malik Wilks! Wonderful!
-
GM obviously sorted something out at halftime. See how we handle being in front now. Come on rovers
-
Got my answer get in Wilks or maybe Beestin should have been playing there. Wilks can score
-
f**king amazing
-
Mallik! I almost have a soft spot for Leeds.... :s
-
Copps off! 😫
-
Sounds a cracking goal
Maybe need to take butler off before he gets sent off
-
Copps off. Hope it doesn't go to pot now.
-
Copps not in midfield so his presence in regards losing games shouldn't make that much of a difference now..... fingers crossed
-
Icing on cake time.
Brentford 4 Rotherham 0
-
Mallik! I almost have a soft spot for Leeds.... :s
Careful! You don't want to have soft spots for L**ds ;)
We want 3!
-
Auto promotion position :scarf:
...too early? :laugh:
-
Coops going off could be a big test now.
Who has replaced him?
-
Just over 7k there. 591 Rovers. Good effort
-
Theo Robinson just subbed on for them.
-
Coops going off could be a big test now.
Who has replaced him?
Alex Kiwomya
Amos on for Andrew
-
Danny Amos now on, a bit of pressure for him in this game, fingers crossed for him
-
Not many on this thread moaning now, eh? :facepalm:
-
Not many on this thread moaning now, eh? :facepalm:
Yeah but the budget 😋
-
Any more subs on they will have to flood the pitch.
-
Danny Andrew injured - hope nothing too much.
-
Not many on this thread moaning now, eh? :facepalm:
I'm bracing myself for the "papering over the cracks" comments

Apparently we are currently in 2nd and my 8 year old has said it's the best day of his life :lol:

Apparently we are currently in 2nd and my 8 year old has said it's the best day of his life :lol:
Make that 1st place
-
Danny Andrew injured - hope nothing too much.
That'll be his season over.
-
3-0! Tommy Rowe!
-
Super Tommy Rowe grass cutter.
-
We’re running riot
Top of the league lol
-
Amazing keep it going we want 4
-
BOOM, you can't play with 3 in midfield without McCullough surely lol
-
Nice chant here of Raggytash, Raggytash shut your mouth.

Ok calm down now lads....

Meh.... still top of the league! :scarf:

Are we Southend's bogey team?
-
Dammit, 3-1
-
Got to be careful now, young Amos on, will be getting tired after the first half run around, come on rovers
-
Into The Empty Net
@DRFC_ITEN
3-1. Marosi saves but the rebound is in. Rovers protest that it was kicked out of Marosi's hands as he had it on the ground #drfc
4:36 PM - 4 Aug 2018 from Southend-on-Sea, East
-
Not to worry that’s why we got 3 in front
-
Last 15?
-
Could have easily been 3-2 there ...
-
Come on donny heads up
-
Get 4th, game over.
-
Rovers to win 2-0 , all I'm reading is fake news - we are all over them
Bloody Rovers messing my bet up !
You know - you try your hardest to give the other team a chance and they blow it !!
-
Down to second now, Barnsley winning 3.0
-
Morosi just averted 3-2
-
Down to second now, Barnsley winning 3.0
McCann out!
-
Rubbish Rovers.
-
Morosi just averted 3-2
That's his job....
Clearly some work to do but if we score more than them.....
-
2-3
-
Uh oh
-
Shit!!
-
Down to second now, Barnsley winning 3.0
They have to bloody spoil your day don't they ....always the Dingles. I wonder which position in the 20s they will end up with come season end ?
-
Gulp
-
Theo Robinson
-
Our season isn’t going to be defined by the first game, regardless of that first half performance nor the result..
-
Theo
-
Oh dear.can we do it.
-
Our season isn’t going to be defined by the first game, regardless of that first half performance nor the result..
Agree. But please win it.....
-
This is what happens when Copps goes off. Get used to it.
-
3-3 95min equaliser anyone
-
Guess who?......Theo Robinson. You couldn’t make it up!
-
Grim reaper time for McCann.
-
Yes we McCann.
-
We always do this i'll never be confident no matter how many up we are!
-
I wonder if this is going to be the pattern for the season ... score a few, concede a few ?
-
Bum clinching time come on rovers
-
Our season isn’t going to be defined by the first game, regardless of that first half performance nor the result..
Agree. But please win it.....
Would be great if we can..
-
3-3 95min equaliser anyone
I hope not !
-
He did say it would be this type of season because of the way we set up.
He would rather lose 4-3 than lose 1-0, it ls going to be a interesting season
-
How long left?
-
Regardless of the result or the performance, we have scored 3 goals..
-
8 min ffs
-
8 mins ??????
-
Jeez
-
Come on see it out
-
Deary me..... huge test and I fear the worst (Why wouldn't we)
-
In the spirit of....
I'm off to the bar, pints anyone?
-
Where the hell did the ref get 8 mins from ?
-
Bit of a queue here, Theo Robinson hit the bar just before me.
-
Maybe ref has a bet on for a draw. 8mins is ridiculous.
-
Water breaks, 5 goals and all subs still seems 3 to many
-
Have there been 8 minutes worth of stoppages? Hard to believe unless there was a major injury...
-
Perhaps someone at the game can comment on the added time?
Say 30 seconds per goal and substitution makes for 5 mins or so regardless of other stoppages..
-
Maybe ref has a bet on for a draw. 8mins is ridiculous.
It seems like he already had a draw...
-
2 mins to go
-

Head scratching here. Southend fans couldn't believe their luck
-
Can’t be much left, bbc ticker said 90+7 half a minute ago..
-
this should be it now shouldn't it?? FFS i hate football :lol:
-
Water breaks, 5 goals and all subs still seems 3 to many
Have to say, if the boot was on the other foot I’d be shouting:”What, only 8 minutes!”
-
This is torture
-
relax
-
Jeeezzzz
-
3-3
-
All over. 3-2.
-
Get in! Ace victory! :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
Phew
-
Match over! Won 3-2. Get in!
-
Quality, I love it, welcome back saturdays
-
Great start sky had that as 90 +10
-
Nearly 10 mins of added time... redculous
-
Not sure if we deserved the win but if we were lucky, I hope this lasts for the season
-
3-3
No WRONG
-
3-3
What?
-
Great result. JM off to a start and three different goal scorers.
-
Wow what a rollercoaster we won’t have it any other way
-
3-3
What?
Just a pussy comment 2-3
-
A very welcome 3 points..
Will be interested to hear proper reports on the game.. however it is still game one, we should expect lots of room for improvement?
But an away win and 3 goals scored is a good start.!
-
Wasn't great for some of the game, but its a bloody good start and something to build on. COYR
-
Well done rovers it's a win no matter what or how, it's all about how many points we get.
I'll take every game like that, GM warned us.
Come on rovers
-
Great result considering. I wish people wouldn't temp fate with their mischievous comments as seeing time out is bad enough as it is with our record.
-
47 points to go for survival
Or 97 for the league championship
-
Well in the end a nice easy victory achieved at a canter as befits our town . Gave them a sniff , even invited them to share a draw but no they didn't want it .
-
Wow what a rollercoaster we won’t have it any other way
I would! :lol:. But who cares? We won and that’s all that matters.
-
Great result considering. I wish people wouldn't temp fate with their mischievous comments as seeing time out is bad enough as it is with our record.
Hope that wasn't aimed at me , I went for a 2-0 in 1st half - sure it wasn't Baz.
-
3-3
What?
Just a pussy comment 2-3
Haha.
-
Nearly 10 mins of added time... redculous
Why is it ridiculous, if it was correct? I dunno, I wasn’t there..
Anyway, the result is the same :)

I think it was aimed at someone who said the score was 3-3

I said it after it was full time. It got a nibble.

The problem is I follow was about 30 seconds to a min behind so we were still playing

Should be barred for this crap. Nobody needs this sort of stress in the 95th min. :mad:

Well that was exciting wasn't it.
No more nodding off at the KMS by the look of it. ⚽️

Well bu**er me! First match of the season and we get nearly 250 postings, and maybe more to come. Looks good for the season!

It wasn't ridiculous at all. A minute for each of the five goals, a few subs, a drinks break, Andrew's injury... all adds up.
First 25 minutes or so were awful and I was expecting brutal sodomy but they hung in there and grew into the game. Came flying out of the traps in the second half imo and maybe could've had at least one more.
-
How was it RedJ, was it the free flowing attacking football which we were promised? If not, does it look like there was potential glimpses of it?

It’s supposed to be 30 seconds per goal and 30 seconds per sub.

At times, yes there was free flowing attacking football. It was enjoyable to watch. We do need to impose ourselves more in the coming games as we looked like we'd get f**k knocked out of us after the way it started but there were promising signs.

Even so, two and a half minutes from the goals alone, then the subs, and the water breaks. Soon adds up.

That’s what I thought too, but if goal celebrations and substitutions take longer, the officials can add that time too..
-
Very rare you get 10 mins injury time though unless you’ve had a serious injury
-
Pendant alert.. it’s not just “injury time” though, is it?
Anyway, we won the game..
-
I've thought for many years now that time added one was always too little to be honest. I notice yesterday a few others with larger than the usual 3-5 mins added on - I wonder if refs/offcials teams have been told to make sure it's more accurate.
-
The four minutes at the end of the first half was much more than I expected too.
I was thinking also that it might be a new instruction to refs.
Don’t worry though, the novelty will probably wear off and we will be back to normal by Christmas.
-
There were two water breaks in the first half so that will account for some of it, as well as the usual stoppages.
-
