That bench must be one of the strongest benches in the division

This might be more 4-4-2 than 4-3-3

Doubt it, I think McCann has been quiet vocal about how he wants us to play

Bold move leaving Copps & Rowe on the bench.

Copps looks to be injured in the warm up... was testing his ankle GM game out and ushered him down the tunnel

Panic over, hes back out playing the piggy in the middle game with the subs!

Rowe looked injured throughout on Tuesday.
The 4-3-3 is 4-4-2 when we’re defending anyway so it’s only tweaking.
Might be Blair right wing and wilks left wing

Sounds like a good line- up now just to squeeze the 3 points out of their grasp and into ours.......come on you Redz.

Good morning everyone. A big game for use, hopefully we can bounce back from last Saturday's disappointment and get 3 points today.

We're getting the chances, we need some to hit the back of the net.

It’s like Tuesday we’ve had chances in the first 20 minutes but not taken them now Pompey are getting into the game

The Wombles beating Sunderland - class... class of 88 that is.

Looking at Twitter we seem to be having lions share of possession.

Copps on at 60 minutes or so to run rings round a tiring back line maybe?
Title: Re: Rovers vs Portsmouth

...but no goals!
Title: Re: Rovers vs Portsmouth
Post by: DearneValleyRover on August 25, 2018, 03:48:20 pm
By far the best side but toothless

Post by: sedwardsdrfc on August 25, 2018, 03:50:38 pm
My 1st game this season and it’s so much better than last year! Don’t care if we lose today I’ve been entertained more in this half than all last season!!

To think we’ve got tommy and copps on the bench too, one of them for May after 10 would be my move to get that goal we’ve deserved

Trying far too often to walk it into the net.
Some really good approach play with nothing to show for it.

Not sure if this is correct, but I’ve just been told this ref should have faced the firing squad last season

Over played a few free kicks and corners but if they dome off everyone goes mad. Just think if we had Rowe on where May is playing he’d be strong enough to take some of the chances that have come to him
Title: Re: Rovers vs Portsmouth
Post by: ScillyRover on August 25, 2018, 03:55:27 pm
I like Wilkes he’s very skilful and good pace but wish he would make better use of the players around him at times and not be so greedy.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 25, 2018, 03:59:57 pm
4-0 up wouldn't be unreasonable. Just get one and we can still overrun them.

Seems Blair is having a good game. Glad he's had his chance at a midfield start.

They’ve had the best chance of the game, great save by Marosi make that 3 now with a clearance off the line

Post by: Monkcaster_Rover on August 25, 2018, 04:33:05 pm
Copps and Rowe on. Blair & Wilks off.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Portsmouth
Post by: les@donr on August 25, 2018, 04:35:04 pm
Hope they can make the difference, there is also Anderson on the bench.

Post by: hoolahoop on August 25, 2018, 04:35:50 pm
That's a ridiculous amount of shots , their keeper must be m.o.m ?
Title: Re: Rovers vs Portsmouth
Post by: les@donr on August 25, 2018, 04:38:30 pm
Surely at least one can hit the back of their net.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Portsmouth

May off. Kiwomya on.

Red card?

Marosi RED CARD for handling outside the area. Rovers will finish the game with Ben Whiteman between the sticks

Handling outside the area isn't necessarily a straight red, so must have been DOGSO

Great goal kick by Whiteman, clears halfway. Their goalie then slices a clearance! #drfc

Clean sheet and unbeaten. Well done.

Again a game of wasted chances, something of a habit already this season, something GM needs to address asap.

Wasn’t a red card I was that side and it hit his chest. Even if he did handle it the ball was going away from goal and there were players back

Hopefully we can appeal because he’s been class

If you thought that hit his chest ne need an eye test, red card all day long

Does this red card offence only mean a one game ban?

Strangely happy with a nil nil @home. First team to take points off Pompey this season so very happy with that point, especially with Whiteman finishing in goal. Do you think he’ll get some of the clean sheet bonus......

If it was DOGSO then I think it might be a 3 game ban, and also presumably not including Tuesday's Cup match

Edit: wrong on both counts.  :blush:
As put on main board by the Red Baron, one game ban which can be served in Tuesday’s cup match
