Let's talk about the Barrow game

[Chris Black come back]

There are no longer any replays from the first round proper onwards.

[BobG]

Downgrading the FA Cup, and it's value to none PL clubs simply to further the corporate greed of the elite few. Football - a lustrous example of the destructive power of unfettered greed.

DFPs predicted starting line up.

Predicted Rovers XI: Sharman-Lowe, Sterry, Olowu, McGrath, Senior, Maxwell, Kelly, Bailey, Hurst, Gibson, Sharp.

Back 3 again. I don't think I'd argue with that and keeps Hurst in the No 10 role.

Not sure anyone would want a replay anyway given the fixtures we have coming up so hope we'll be good enough to win the tie in 90 mins.

Not sure if there's extra time or whether it goes straight to penalties?

Correction: I'd swap Gibson for Molyneux.

The DFP haven’t even put Moly on the bench!

Their sports writer certainly has his finger on the pulse.

They can't even blame the Supercomputer for that one!

[selby]

A win would top off a great week, and we could continue our tour of football grounds wiyh yet another away draw in the next round no doubt.

[02richarle]

I didn’t list a bench so haven’t missed Molyneux out. This side isn’t a one-man team and I don’t think it overly affects them, especially in the cup. All opinions

Who did they name on the bench.??

[Lesonthewest]

They can p!ss about with it as much as they want, but woke up with that 'It's FA Cup first round day!' feeling. Love it.

[roversdude]

Agree Les there is still a sprinkling of magic (not a lot to quote a magician) but a little bit

I don’t think this is a bad one for Moly to have a rest for so I wouldn’t mind it. As Ricky has said above he didn’t name a bench so he’s always there if we need it.

[Michael Shaw]

I don't care whether it is the league, a cup, the trophy or even a friendly. Every game, no matter what it is, is a chance Rovers might win and that is exciting. Simple.

[ncRover]

No midweek games all month so we should be putting our first choice team out. I wouldn’t make a change from Bradford.

Rest players for too long and they lose momentum.

[Chris Black come back]

For the first time in many years, we have a squad large enough to cope with competing in more than the league. Wood and Westbrooke should be back in the next few weeks. Then from January we have Faulkner and Jones back from Ireland. We will have a very large squad. Especially if some of the younger loan lads come back who have been doing very well, like Oram and Flint. Take this fairly seriously and we could make the third round yet.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Agree, there's every reason to keep the continuity going so we would hope McCann will approach it the same as a league game.

[DearneValleyRover]

Same starting lineup as Bradford

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Job done. Not the prettiest performance but we'd expect that at Barrow.

Great the Kelly got off the mark. Only downside are the injuries. Sterry could be a long one, but will be concern over Senior and Maxwell.

[drfchound]

When Sterry got hurt the commentators were suggesting a dislocated shoulder might be the issue.

Was Senior injured? Given the change to our shape and the timing it could have just been tactical.

[Plumbster]

I thought it was tactical, he wasn’t making much impact

[drfchound]

Into the second half the commentator said he would try to find out but nothing more was said (unless it was when I let the dogs out for a wee).

Senior a tactical substitution. Sterry dislocated his shoulder again but should be fine for next week. Maxwell injured the same foot again so they took him off. Unclear yet if it is owt or nowt.

[roversdude]

If it keeps popping out he’ll need an op at some point - remember Bryan Robson suffering with the same

Yes, Dude. It needs pinning up.

Just like a picture of my boatrace in everyone's bedroom.

So when do you get your FRCS?
