TLOD V Rovrum

[Guernsey Exile]

Flung the doors of the Lucky Pint open a bit early tonight.

An hour until team news, how we feeling.

Can't help but feel optimistic!

[drfchound]

Nervous.
I have gone for a loss on PvO but that was a couple of days ago.
I am thinking back to how good we were for half an hour on Saturday and hope that we can do the same, score and carry on in the same vein.

Rotherham are a very strong team though and I know they will bombard us.

[Guernsey Exile]

I think if we lose by the odd goal then that has to be seen as progress.

Hoping for a draw

[steve@dcfd]

We will have to see if our performance as improved against Rotherham tonight. Games are about the result I do not see anything but win for Rotherham and unfortunately I believe it will be more than 2 clear goals.

[RoversAlias]

Very interesting team line-up, you can't accuse Gary McSheffrey of playing it safe with his picks!

[Guernsey Exile]

That's interesting!

[scawsby steve]

What's the team line-up?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Surprised he's dropped Galbraith and Martin to the bench and new keeper in.

Back three. Clayton flanked by Seaman and Horton on flanks. Smith and Rowe plus same starting front two.

Just concerned we won't be as fluid going forward but what do I know.

[Colemans Left Hook]

and a really strong bench FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON  not just today

[EpsTheMightyReds]

Don’t usually bet but I’ve put a fiver on us to win, just got a feeling. We’ll I say I did, daughters boyfriend did it on one of those App thingy’s…..he also said I might as well have slung the fiver out of the window

[steve@dcfd]

Big call on keeper we will learn if he do it. The manager as to know if Mitchell is better than Jones.
Knoyle.   Younger  Olowu

Seaman Smith. Clayton.  Horton
                   Rowe
            Dodoo.     Mipo

Subs
Jones
Williams R
Jackson
Galbraith
Martin
Agard
Griffiths

[scawsby steve]

Why's he dropped Martin? Why hasn't he started with Jackson?

I fear the worst, but live in hope.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Bench has some strength now, we have every chance (and we rarely lose a game I don't attend even in bad years).

[Barmby Rover]

Not expecting a win, a draw would be a massive plus when you see what Rotherham can do to teams. With virtually a new team, being realistic you have to bet on Rotherham beating us fairly easily.

[ScillyRover]

Will be very interested to know how much influence Clayton has in midfield. We will certainly need a few experienced heads in midfield tonight but will we miss Galbraith’s creativity? We shall see. Bit puzzled why Martin is on the bench. His contribution has brought about the pace to supply the forwards we have witnessed in the last few games. Come on Donny!!

[phil old leake]

I’m confident of a good performance

From what I read the performances have improved of late

Just wish I was there

[les@donr]

I think GM is holding back some players   to be super subs when Rother legs tire, maybe a debut for Reo?

they won't tire, fittest team in the division

[Barmby Rover]

Not unexpected.

[ScillyRover]

Pathetic attempt at clearing the ball from a corner by the new goalkeeper
0-1

[scawsby steve]

So much for the new set piece coach.

[anton123]

Shocking keeping

[sha66y]

Pathetic attempt at clearing the ball from a corner by the new goalkeeper
0-1

Bit harsh, crowded goal line and a wind assisted curve ball….

[jm291]

My mate who’s a Northampton Town season ticket holder said he can’t believe he’s playing league 1 and is dodgy as hell.

[ScillyRover]

Horton is going to have his work cut out this evening.

[RugbyRover]

have we put two passes together yet?

[anton123]

Horton needs to be benched for a few games he’s clueless at defending

He wasn’t that crowded out on the goal line. He misjudged the cross and could have just tipped it over if he was better positioned.

[scawsby steve]

Horton is going to have his work cut out this evening.

He shouldn't even be playing. It should have been Jackson.

[Colin C No.3]

Horton does not have enough pace or defensive nouse to be playing left back. Especially against one of the best right wingers in the division.
