Tonight’s team
COYR
-
And the Everton line up - doesn’t look like he’s playing the kids. I wonder why? Job on the line?
COYR
-
Good to see Ben Close amongst the subs.
-
Why Lawlor
-
Not a reason, but I think it is Lawlor's 100th appearance for us tonight (all competitions)
I am guessing Fleming might be cup tied?
And maybe Clifton carrying a slight knock?
-
Fleming must be cup tied
-
No Clifton???
-
This is going to be tough was hoping they would just play the kids looks like Everton first 11 Vs Rovers second 11

Fleming must be cup tied
Wasn’t in the squad that lost to the Owls

That really isn’t the case. There’s 5 or 6 of Everton’s best team missing (Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Gana, Doucoure, Harrison, DCL) but then you could say the same about our back 5! That said I wanted to see Olowu & Nixon starting, and Fleming is evidently cup tied, so it’s only really McGrath & especially Lawlor that are picks I’d question. Midfield and attack is what I’d have gone with other than Westbrooke, but if Clifton is injured (which he must be) then it’s not as though Hurst or Sbarra have made an irresistible case for inclusion.
-
Rovers+ activated before the game starts! A much better result already! It is doing a lot of breaking up though.
-
Olowu and Lawlor nearly embarrassed themselves
-
No Clifton???
He was nursing a fairly hefty graze to his head from a Morecombe boot at the end of the last match.
-
Everton looking very slick and quick.
Great cut out from McGrath in the box.
-
Poor quality from Sky Sports +. Any else getting a lot of buffering?
-
Any updates on how the first 20 mins have gone?
-
Everton started the brighter, but we have come back into things and are not embarrassing ourselves.
-
Olowu has his hands full with beto tonight, strong quick lad
-
Good save from Pickford from a Molyneux-esq curler from Senior from a short corner routine
-
Everton looking very slick and quick.
Great cut out from McGrath in the box.
Always think this when you see lower league against PL opposition. Eveything is just so fast and really emphasises the gulf in quality. We're doing well so far and making a good account of ourselves.
-
Not disgracing ourselves at all. Nixon looking very sharp. Some good interchanging play.
-
Olowu and Lawlor nearly embarrassed themselves
Round 2!
-
Joseph Olowu is up against it to be fair, but Christ alive he needs to wake up a bit.
-
Olowu has done a good job but gets caught out but thankfully it's not cost us
-
Giving a good account of ourselves
-

A bit harsh to blame JO, it was more Lawlor not making up his mind what to do, he is not good enough.
-
Is tonight the quietist lucky pint ever,? Spare a thought for us exiles., :-)
-
HT
-
Everton just hit the beans, but we have made it to HT 0:0
-
Very good half from us, with a few near misses
Get Sharp on at half time, give him a full half. Big Joe struggling for service
-

I think part of it was Lawlor’s communication but to be fair to Ian he’s been great with crosses tonight

Lawlor came out when he didnt need to, JO had it covered and was just looking for the simple header back, lawlor made him have to take a rash swipe at it

Done nothing wrong.
-
Westbrooke outstanding 1st half. There’s your no.6
-
Phew, close for Everton, deep corner headed back across goal and shot hits post…
-

Agree with getting Sharp on - get Keane turning a bit.
-

You really don’t like him do you?
Lawlor was in no mans land, what did you expect Olowu to do

What a contrast with the lackadaisical performance against Morecambe! I might say that it doesn’t look like the same team and of course it isn’t, but what a difference in application.
You’d have thought the commentators would have learnt the Rovers players names; both the Accrington and the Morecambe ones did.
-
We are holding our own, think whoever scores first will win hopefully it will be us on the 89th min with only 1 minute added on.
Tell that this is the first game with this back 5 together.
Can tell the pace the premier league players Vs our lads
Wouldn't make any changes just yet give it 10 minutes

have u a link for the paramount stream?
-
Was worried about the defence but i think if we had wood if fit or anderson in there then we would be losing now. The pace would tear them apart. Mcgrath and olowu are just about keeping up. But both doing enough so far
-
Poor quality from Sky Sports +. Any else getting a lot of buffering?
I’m watching on Sky+ and it is fine for me.

Wasn’t actually commenting on that incident, they both didn’t communicate.
I was talking about the two occasions early in the game when he just has stood and watched, in particular the early Everton chance. When every other player is running their nuts off.
I actually really like him. But not as our defender.
Opinion’s eh
-

Yes, quite a lot, relatively brief though.
-
Given the gulf in league positions I reckon we are doing more than just fine.
Some of our play is really good and we are giving a good account of ourselves.
-
Gibson off
Hurst on
-
I can't see the lads keeping up the pace for 90mins they're chasing everything down and burning so much energy. Hope I'm wrong and we don't need a slow start to the 2nd half like we've been getting so far this season.
-

Mine has been perfect.

Knackers
-
Bugger nothing lawlor could do
-
b*llocks
Let’s get some fresh legs on now
-
According to troy deeper, hursty is making first appearance of the season ffs
-
Nixon off
Sterry on
Nixon looks ankle injury walked off so such be ok
-
You couldn’t write it… Nixon off injured
-
Possible foul on Nixon in the build up to their goal.
-
Might as well give Billy a run out now..
-
What a tackle by McGrath stop beto
-
Subs: Sbarra and Broadbent on for Westbrooke and Kelly
-
It's opening up a bit now. Westbrooke off, Sbarra on. Kelly off, Broadbent on.
-
McGrath is Matt Mills 2.0
Absolutely brilliant performance
-
Thought Matt Mills had turned up.
Can we fashion a chance?
Westbrooke off Sbarra on
-
Where's sharpy?
-
Sharp got to be our next change
-
Bob Latchford coming on for Everton.
-
⏱️ 66 | Triple change for Everton

Jesper Lindstrom
James Garner
Seamus Coleman

Jack Harrison
Idrissa Gueye
Ashley Young
Everton 1-0 Rovers
-

Haha, ‘great minds…’ eh
-
It is a bit like listening to Norman Collier commentating, Rovers kit still not working quite right.
-
Decent chance there..
-
Bugger
-
Game over
-
Lawlor shouldn’t be getting beaten at the near post there.
-
Ffs 2-0
Olowu distribution is woeful in the last 15 minutes. Casually chipping into no man’s land, and heading to Everton midfielders.
-
Shit or bust now
-
Getting stretched now and tough to get anything out of this - I would happily walk off now without any more injuries...
-
3-0 Beto.
Nothing to be ashamed of. We have it a good go.
-
On to Saturday.,.
-
Mcgrath is the future of our defence in my opinion
-
Quality of a Prem team the difference
-
3-0 Beto.
Nothing to be ashamed of. We have it a good go.
…worked hard, but tired now.
-
Hopefully nixon injury not bad and some good minutes into players coming back into the team.
Now hope people stop begging for premier league team in the cup just lowest places team from now on
-
Hope everyone's had a good trip. Enjoyed watching Rovers make a game of it.
Just need a clean bill of health and it's mission accomplished.
-
Mcgrath is the future of our defence in my opinion
Very good tonight…tanacious, battler, switched on… needs to play a lot more this season.
Everton we’re a lot better than last season, probably saving their managers job
-
No shame it that game for us
-
Though we got him from St Patrick’s Athletic I have just read that Jay McGrath was born in Doncaster
-
Everton started with 5 players who played in the Premiership Saturday and brought on others who played in that game also - no shame in that at all. They got a couple of soft late goals and deserved to win, but we gave a good account of ourselves...
-
I know there's levels but we didn't lay a glove on them.
Zero aggression.
