Rovers v Watford

[VivaRovers]

Match preview for this game now up on Viva Rovers.

Having predicted defeat on Tuesday I feel I should do so again...
0-1 nudge nudge, wink wink.

[Snods Shinpad 2]

Watford can be a decent side. Hopefully it's one of their off days.

Otherwise...Watford 3-1

[RedJ]

Well they've been a tad off the boil of late. I'll say a draw, but I'm not sure on the score line. 1-1 or 2-2.

[Berkshire Rover]

I'll settle for us scoring a goal by ourselves, for ourselves in a 1-1 draw

[Barmby Rover]

Young Mr.Moussa and Sam to have one of his thunderbolts he seems to have found in recent weeks counting for us. Rovers 2 Watford 1.

Who`s for a re-naming of the Lucky Pint?

You would never be that lucky would you Filo?

Not sure what to make of this game.

Donny are possibly starting to get players back. They are boosted by the excellent point at Norwich. You always get the feeling that Donny can/will turn the corner (with a few players back) and beat any team in this league.

Our opponents are on a slippery slope much like ours, but I doubt theirs is due to the injury crisis we have endured. Theirs just seems bad form all round. I'm not savvy with all their ins and outs, so all I know is Mutch has gone and that's it. I'm not sure he made the team tick to be fair, although he did look good against us. Which leads me onto our last meeting. At their place they were very busy and workmanlike esp in midfield and seemed to know how to play us or.... the type of team we hate playing against. Little space in the middle and they closed everything quickly. We struggled at times and our plan b wasn't good. It only looked something like when we shoved Shelton up front for the last 10-15. Our team is much weaker than this meeting and I would love Brooker and Billy up front for this one. That said, I'm sure Sean has done his homework and will know better than me on how to play them. Finally, they also possess Danny (The one that got away) Graham, who I rate very highly and always thought he should have been here, for the price, type and quality he has....however that should have been done 3 seasons ago.

I'll go for a hard fought, grinding out, please be patient type 1-0 win. Billy

Sounds to be some noise from the Donny fans. Anyone know what the attendance is?

[smitiai]

does anyone know why Killa is still on the bench>? surely hes a better option than Friend.?

[smitiai]

f**k 0=1

[CottyRover]

B@ll@cks! Good start but poor defending. Get banging that drum, John!

[esdailles left foot]

And the reason why i haven't gone today.your not having my £28 and put out half a team

[DearneValleyRover]

We look like a team of individuals which isn't suprising given the changes. Watford have done nothing other than the goal which came out of the blue. The ref is only interested in taking throw ins from the correct place rather than blowing for obvious fouls.

[I-was-there1976]

1 shot on and 1 shot off in the 1st 32 mins


exciting stuff

[CottyRover]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!:scarf:

[I-was-there1976]

2nd shot on target and a goal


attack attack attack attack attack

[RTID75]

Looked off side to me, but I'll take it all the same. Ref is awful.

[ScillyRover]

Just got in... how we doing ?
And more importantly... hows the forum performing

[Dutch Uncle]

Don't think the forum is under much pressure today

Neither are Watford judging by the stats....

[DearneValleyRover]

Second half has come to life, end to end and Euell missed a sitter

Well the forum is performing OK!B)

Stats aren't everything. The lads are giving it everything and that isn't something we could say recently. Gorgeous is growing into the game and Billy is getting nothing from the ref.

[Dutch Uncle]

Good to hear - thanks DVR

Although I was sort of hoping for a bit of reverse psychology in my comments

[Bristol Red Rover Jnr.]

And Billy is getting nothing from the ref.

seems he never does

[CottyRover]

Eustace off!:laugh: C'mon Donny!:scarf:

[DearneValleyRover]

Deserved to go deliberate handball and already booked. Their goalie is pretending to be injured while we were waiting to take a corner, it worked.

[DearneValleyRover]

Crowd fantastic, not a library today.

[CottyRover]

As Chris Mortley just said on Player - why can't Rovers get the ball in the back of the flaming net!:(
