Big night in front of the cameras. In front of a big crowd. We know how this goes. Or do we?

Crikey not a big fan of the team we've put out. Broadbent in and Street, Ennis, Sharp & Moly as forwards. They'll have to put a hell of a shift in tracking back. Palace's team also looking strong with 7 of their first choice 11 starting.


Fearing the worst now...

I have not held out much hope of Rovers winning this one, but then that would have been the case against Man City, Aston Villa and Arsenal  back in the day. Anything could happen!

Broadbent wouldn’t have neshed the 2 headers that Crew did for Chesterfield’s 1st goal!

JT, seen your question about watching on iPlayer but you're not on the other page now.

If you have the BBC Sport app and bring up the page for Rovers it has the link to watch live.

It gives a chance of winning through to the round after if we can beat Palace though.

Tom Anderson is a "makeshift centre half" apparently.

Don't want to jinx it, but they haven't threatened us so far.

I tuned in right on kick off, surprised to see Crew not starting?

Sharp is a passenger at the moment, a bit crazy to start him.

no. Ball came off Sharp.

More to the point, I don’t think Anderson tripped their player for the free kick. Seemed to me to just fall over. Lots of play acting from them.

Don’t deserve to be losing, ref only looking after Palace players

Well… all to play for. We need to give them no time.
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: NickDRFC on February 10, 2025, 08:37:50 pm
Think we’ve played quite well, competed much better than the last time we played Palace in the cup. It’s a long shot but we’re still in it at just a goal down. I’d take Street off - he’s put in a few loose challenges and looks frustrated, but not really in it anyway. The more I see of him the less I like what I see.

The player who scored the goal would have been onside even if it hadn’t come off Sharp. Billy was a good couple of yards closer to the goal.

Rachel Finnis is a fookin awful pundit.

Cliche after cliche and hasn't been bothered to learn anything about rovers
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: ScillyRover on February 10, 2025, 08:39:36 pm
Unfortunate to be one down. Deflection off Billy’s shin lands conveniently for Palace player to slot home. We’ve looked well in the game all half despite the goal.
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: monkeytennis on February 10, 2025, 08:40:02 pm
Ref is a shocker. FK for every trip and stumble. For them at least.
Don’t think we’ve played too badly just need to have a bit more belief and less panic when we do manage to get the ball. I do think we need to show them what we’re made of a bit more though.

Said the same about Street, not impressed so far.

Ennis pretty poor for me too.

Effort but no quality at all

Tell me Street or Ennis are any better than Hursty.
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: ncRover on February 10, 2025, 08:46:43 pm
Playing really well I think. Broadbent and Anderson in particular.

Ennis got a really bad knock from Munoz, no booking.
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: Bristol Red Rover on February 10, 2025, 08:46:48 pm
Not impressed with Palace. We've given them a lot of space in their half when they have the ball. Not sure we can do 45 mins of intense pressing, but if we did, we'd win this.
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: Peebles Rover on February 10, 2025, 08:48:00 pm
I’d like to see us have a real go this half. Just have a bit more belief and fire. We’ve done okay but haven’t really rattled them. Agree with the post above re Ennis, I think he’s struggled a bit.
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: NickDRFC on February 10, 2025, 08:50:58 pm
The BBC have lost the plot. They’ve got a commentator who thinks the world’s most archetypal centre half is a midfielder filling in and they’ve chosen to interview Shaun Lockwood at half time.

Street and Ennis. Now playing a back 5

Didn't see the team sheet and didn't know that street was playing until about 25 mins in

Think if we had a fairer ref ie one that has the bottle to stick up for himself against the premier league then it would have been still nil nil

Don’t think we have been outclassed 2 moments of luck or unlucky moments have done it for us.

Just hope it’s not taken to much out of the players for the weekend

Post by: Peebles Rover on February 10, 2025, 09:22:18 pm
Shame Moly’s effort didn’t nestle in the top corner. Would have made it an interesting last 10 mins
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: jmt23 on February 10, 2025, 09:23:32 pm
Unfortunately the only bits of quality going forward have come from Moly or Sterry , they are looking like the only capable players of reaching the next level along with Joe Owolu at the back who has done ok too.

No shame in losing 2-0. A poxy first goal. We had shots but lacking power. We move on. Proud of the lads.
Title: Re: TLOD Rovers v Palace
Post by: jmt23 on February 10, 2025, 09:46:30 pm
Gutted as I always want us to win or do as well as possible, but it was a bit powder puff in the end, with a few glimpses of ooh what could have been.

Molly was the real gem again, and they knew it by putting 3 on him in the second half! Sterry Owolu as well,the rest, (and only my opinion) average league 2 fair. I know that’s harsh, but the aspirations are league 1, most of these are not that good.

I do want to mention Broadbent( prompted by my lad ) he was actually pretty good tonight, and unlucky with their goal chasing back trying to head away as last man.
