Rovers Vs Everton

[ian1980]

Tonight’s line up:

[Chris Black come back]

Senior and Olowu as centre backs? Then the three dwarves in midfield against Onana (6”4) and Doucouré (6”1).

[ravenrover]

Or a back 3 of Senior Olowu and Maxwell?

[RugbyRover]

Looking at that setup I can only assume we're concentrating on the League and saving out best for the weekend.

Looking at that setup I can only assume we're concentrating on the League and saving out best for the weekend.

Not really, only wood who is kn the bench is a regular starter,
Reckon mccann knows wood is too slow for this and left him out, this looks a more attacking set up to me

[ScillyRover]

Certainly looks an attack minded lineup but dreading the fact that defence is a disaster or two waiting to happen. Can only see the Everton forwards having a field day.

[Chris Black come back]

Defence looks experimental and this is clearly not a game to be experimenting. Midfield will get overrun immediately so add that to the defensive experiment means we are going to be on back foot from the off.

[ChrisBx]

How has Olowu f**ked that chance?

[Chris Black come back]

Games like this usually deliver very few chances. f**k them up and they don’t come round again.

[Guernsey Exile]

Decent first 10 I think

[ChrisBx]

Very good start from us. Faal should have forced that headed chance with more aggression.

[Chris Black come back]

Great start but we will run out of juice come second half so we need to have something soon to show for it.

[normal rules]

20 mins and pretty even I’d say so far

[Thorney]

We are having to do alot of running off the ball, worried bout running out of gas here

[Barmby Rover]

If anything Rovers looking the better team currently, this is what we want, Rovers becoming more confident in themselves.

[jm291]

Playing well but Faal has given the ball away literally every time. Needs to learn to pass

[Herbert Anchovy]

I’m watching the game in deepest, darkest South London with Spurs, West Ham and Palace fans. The comments so far are “how the f**k are you bottom of the whole league?” That’s nice to hear but got to be the kiss of death!

[Copps is Magic]

Great start (apart from Faal, f**k me).

[rtid88]

Definitely the better team and should be at least one goal up. Faal currently looks a terrible signing, his touch looks poor and seems scared to head a ball. Hope it's just a confidence thing.

[DearneValleyRover]

The one thing I’m getting from the game so far is that we’ve finally found the right formation

[ChrisBx]

We've been excellent so far.

[Guernsey Exile]

Faal is one of them that can look like Bambi one second a world beater the next

[Guernsey Exile]

We've been excellent so far.

It's enjoyable so far

[Dutch Uncle]

Making up for lack of quality in midfield with numbers

[DearneValleyRover]

Faal is one of them that can look like Bambi one second a world beater the next

He’s like a cross between Leo Fortune-West and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas

[DearneValleyRover]

Making up for lack of quality in midfield with numbers

Needs must DU but at present it’s working and must be a better solution against lesser opponents in the League

[dknward2]

Why can't we play like this in the league

[Copps is Magic]

Faal is one of them that can look like Bambi one second a world beater the next

I'm waiting for the world beater part.

[Sprotyrover]

Wow Ironsides!

[Barmby Rover]

1-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
