Leicester v Rovers

[Snods Shinpad 2]

I'm going for an unexpected three points.

Hopes to be raised briefly before the inevitable flop.

Tis the Rovers way.

0-1 (Bennett '14)

[donnyroversfc]

4-1 Leicester with Simon Gillett scoring our goal.

Leicester will get THREE penalties awarded to them aswell, Ikeme will save one.

[pubteam]

Tall order today. I've seen Leicester's starting line-up, and their attack looks frighteningly strong...

Schmeichel, Peltier, Bamba, Morgan, Konchesky, Marshall, Drinkwater, Wellens, Dyer, Beckford, Nugent.

[pubteam]

And for us, Robert dropped for Coppinger!! Wasn't expecting that, thought Robert was our best player last Friday...

Ikeme, Chimbonda, Beye, Lockwood, Ilunga, Gillett, Oster, Barnes, Coppinger, Piquionne, Diouf.

Subs: Friend, Stock, Brown, Robert, Bennett.

Coventry behind already, great start. We can be effectively relegated on Monday if it all goes against us today and then, so let's get a win today and give ourselves a fighting chance for the last few games.

[Barmby Rover]

Not looking good. Leicester all over us. The defence is just not good enough, Chimbonda, Ilunga and Beye all DS men, wonder who will get the blame?

[bobjimwilly]

Robert should have started IMO. Him and coppinger together would work well I think

[ScillyRover]

Thought Brown might get a start today.

[bobjimwilly]

Thought Brown might get a start today.

Coming on for Piquionne now

[dickos1]

Them being all over us has nothing to do with the defence..

[Barmby Rover]

Habib Beye easily beaten to the header.


And then makes a mess of it at the other end.

[Dare to dream!]

Dont really deserve to be loosing, playing well just not clinical

Alright Sean mate, how's life in the midlands treating you? ;-)

On a serious note, this comment sums up our season really.

[RoversAlias]

And with Millwall already in front Coventry take the lead against Peterborough from the spot. Perfect all around then.

[Filo]

Much the better team, same old really failing to take chances, can`t fault that first half effort

[LINCrover2]

Fully agree with Filo, don't deserve to be 1-0 down.

Think there is at least one goal in this for us, Leicester look dangerous when they get forward though!

[RoversAlias]

An Ikeme cock-up makes it 2-0.

[Thinwhiteduke]

2-0.

Ikeme is a bloody joke - pure and simple, where do we keep dragging these dodgy keepers from?

[dknward2]

bring back gary woods to prepare for lg one

[Super _Rovers]

He's prone to a few mistakes (my count 4 so far) but he more than makes up for them. Lwts be honest if woods was in goal it would be 4 by now

[Thinwhiteduke]

No worse than this muppet thats for sure.

Our foward line arent much better though...there's a couple of chances today Id have fancied myself to put away, including the one a few secs ago for Chris Brown.

[Barmby Rover]

\"Peltier getting some joy on thet left side, not surprising, that's all I am going to say.\" O Connor left out since Ilunga came back.

Current states on bbc, shots 6 on target 0!

[LINCrover2]

Might put some money on Gallagher to score next here! HE can hit them and our defence will give him plenty of time to do so!

[dickos1]

\"Peltier getting some joy on thet left side, not surprising, that's all I am going to say.\" O Connor left out since Ilunga came back.

O Connor hasn't played left back for a long long long time and maybe only once or twice ever

[Standanista]

Adios Championship.  How many will have release clauses in their contracts?  Diouff for one, I would expect.  When the likely becomes the inevitable, surely it has to be time to give the nucleus of next year's squad a few run-outs.

[Thinwhiteduke]

\"Peltier getting some joy on thet left side, not surprising, that's all I am going to say.\" O Connor left out since Ilunga came back.

Ilunga is abysmal, he may as well be stood stationary with a sign reading \"Goal this was: Free passage\"...what we continue to see in half of these 'superstars' is beyond me, (god forbid there is any form of clause saying they have to play).
