Stat attack:
Won 7 Drawn 12 Lost 14
Rovers have failed to win in the last 5 games against the Blades. Our last win was a 2-0 back in 2010, with Coppinger and Sharp scoring.

[The Red Baron]

Our last win at Bramall Lane was in 2009. We won 1-0. A repeat today would be good.

Need a win today by any means

[dknward2]

No main even on bench

[The Red Baron]

Bench: Marosi, P. McKay, Gobern, Chaplow, N'guessan, Mandeville, Forrester.

Good, he'd miss that trying to sit down

[dknward2]

Good options from the bench

[robchester]

N'guessan unlucky to be on the bench.

[telfordrover]

Good to see forrester on the bench, gives us another option

[Al4475]

Looks like either a 4-4-2 with Copps and TS as full backs, Stewart and Evina either side of Wellens and Keegan, Anderson and Williams up top!

Or maybe a 3-5-2 with Butler, MacKenzie and TS as back three, Evina and Stewart as wing-backs with Wellens, Keegan and Copps behind the other two.

The latter could be very attacking if players are utilized properly (Copps behind front two, Keegs and Wellens cleaning up!)

Come on Rovers!

It won't have a detrimental effect on his performances 😀

Anyone listening to player sounding like Norman Collier?

Decent turn out too, fans making good noise before the game..

[grayx]

N'guessan unlucky to be on the bench.

I think he's still working on his fitness and Jones doesn't want to rush him. I'd be surprised if he doesn't come on at some point.
That appears quite a strong line up. Just hope Keegan is fit enough and that we don't play Evina at right back again. Copps would be the better option.

Afro goal machine! This lad adds something of what we have been missing.

A lot of clicking, not quite Norman Collier.

[dknward2]

Anderson has no fear first league game he will just love being there and if he can score he will get noticed

Yes, he appears to have had more shots on goal in the first 10 minutes than we have had in the first half of every game thus far in the season.

Norman has stopped but now getting the clinking

I think we will concede eventually here, need a goal or two in this first half to break them. They could well crumble.

[Bristol Red Rover]

ooooer!

Or now...

@liamhoden: 17 - Chris Basham smashes a volley in from six yards out, straight from an Alcock cross. Super finish #sufc 1 #drfc 0 #starlive

And so it continues... 😞

[PDX_Rover]

Out of nothing. But... Sounds like we are doing well. COME ON LADS!
