Rovers v MK

[DonnyOsmond]

Bursik
Halliday
James
Wright
Anderson
Whiteman
Gomes
Richards
Taylor
Tulloch
John-Jules

Bench: Jones, Amos, John, Williams, Coppinger, Okenabirhie, Lokilo

Thought Okenabirhie would start!

[northern soul]

Been a while since we've had a bench that strong.
Some good game changers on there.

[Dee_are_eff_see]

Is this our youngest ever starting XI?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Didn't see that coming!

Might be Fejiri has a slight knock, we don't know what's in DM's thinking and surprised Copps on bench too.

Keep saying though, if we can play well without Copps then things are looking good!

[Colemans Left Hook]

either i am stupid (don't answer that)  or that squad looks frightening ---  got me dreaming of that season Rovers somehow played the first two matches of the season BOTH at home and won both 4-0 (one against Hartlepool) and the rest was history ......... dreams are still "tax -free" under this government

the word "ringers" in the team comes to mind.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Would have liked Copps to be the glue that gives the front players some direction, guile and experience. I'm sure DM knows what he's doing so I hope we attack with purpose and not headless chickens!

Lincoln City on the Saturday then Hartlepool on the Tuesday..
A disappointing 2-1 loss at Southport the following Saturday. Their first victory in 20 matches.
That match saw our first ever substitution as Laurie Sheffield limped off.

[drfchound]

Kinell, if the new lads are better than Copps and Fej then i cant wait to see them.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Taylors decision making sometimes is well off!

Seems strange. I've not heard “Gerrit forrad! " yet!

[moses]

Who is it on commentary ?

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

John Jules has a very good first touch.

[Janso]

Who is it on commentary ?

Robbie Andrews and Paul Goodwin from DFP.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Good save. Fair play to MK, not afraid to shoot!

[Bristol Red Rover]

We look very dangerous. A few games on when these have worked together more and we can terrorise this league.

Bursik's distribution is top class so far. Very impressed with him all round, looks a class above Dieng.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Taking too long to get shots off.

At the other end, we're letting them get to edge of our area too easily.

[DonnyOsmond]

Is the distribution comment sarcasm?

[Wiltshire Exile]

Alfie May just scored for Cheltenham

[DonnyOsmond]

Richards is amazing.

[EasyforDennis]

Are you people watching the same game as me?

[Metalmicky]

Stats wise we are 30/70 on possession and they have had 7 corners to nil by Rovers - is it that one-sided...?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

We do look disjointed which is not surprising with the amount of debuts.  Alot of naivety out there.

[Metalmicky]

Forgot they had Jordan Houghton playing for them...

[Wiltshire Exile]

Richards is amazing.

In what way, DO?

[EasyforDennis]

Stats wise we are 30/70 on possession and they have had 7 corners to nil by Rovers - is it that one-sided...?

I'm afraid it is yes.

[DonnyOsmond]

Stats wise we are 30/70 on possession and they have had 7 corners to nil by Rovers - is it that one-sided...?

I wouldn't say one sided. We're allowing them the ball and trying to counter but have lacked quality in their third.

[DonnyOsmond]

Richards is amazing.

In what way, DO?

Brilliant on the ball and has an eye for a pass.

[goalkick]

We look a little like the away team.

[Wiltshire Exile]

Richards is amazing.

In what way, DO?

Brilliant on the ball and has an eye for a pass.

Thanks, DO!

No. He see's opportunities very quickly and is pretty accurate in getting the ball there including great length when needed.

[CottyRover]

sounds like the Daleks have taken overthe commentary. Back to normal as I type
