[Archived] The FA Cup.Quarter Final Match Reaction

[James No. 7]

Johansson has been getting up the field a bit, apparently.

[juggalo_rover]

i can't get commentary working either

any ideas on crowd figure??

[tcj_jones]

I just do not understand how a team playing 4-5-1 can be counter attacked so damned easily.

Oh, and Dickov is just useless.

[Flopsy]

a classic game of football this is not

[Maverick]

sounds like a great game

NOT!!!

what do you expect from a small striker up against Dublin and Dabizas

and hes just flattened one of the Leicester players

bless

[Flopsy]

0-0 HT we need Stead on

[tcj_jones]

Not much really. But that opportunity he had at the start of the match was woefully wasted.

A poor set up by Hughes against a championship side. Even if we had kept the formation and played Stead we'd have more of a threat. We should be going for this. Instead we're being counter attacked - exactly what the formation should be preventing.

Reid and Thompson haven't been bad, but whenever we have posession there is nobody there - either because Dickov has run all the way out of the stadium or because we just do not have anyone up there.

[doctorryan]

Emo & Tugs for Thomo & Reid is what I'm hoping for

[Flopsy]

Stead on for Flitty - go 4-4-2

[tcj_jones]

Dickov for Stead, Flitcroft for Johnson, Mokoena for Tugay.

Saying that, I don't think Hughes will make any changes and will keep the same formation until atleast the 70th minute.

oh god

[Flopsy]

no substitutions

[James No. 7]

Stead taking his training top off...

[Flopsy]

god we're shocking at the moment.

I think if we went 4-4-2 at the mo we would be in trouble

shows what I know

Stead on for Mokoana

[James No. 7]

Stead on for Mokoena.

[James No. 7]

Radio Rovers commentators reckon Leicester don't look like scoring.

[DE.]

Neither do we. *yawn*

[Flopsy]

emmerton's comming on

4

reid

[youandwhosearmy]

we look really awful

think of everton a few years ago, banging the ball up the field to duncan ferguson, now replace ferguson with dickov, and you will know how blackburn are playing

big mistake in not starting Stead in my opinion

reid for emerton

[James No. 7]

Emerton to get on soon.

[Flopsy]

Bugger

Rovers get a goal / dissalowed (due to ref blowing for a freekick) / Almost score from free kick

[James No. 7]

Emerton on for Reid.

Pedersen hits back of the net from Emerton cross... foul on Emerton called.

Stupid referee.

[DE.]

Where is Stead playing? Did he come into midfield or attack? Can't say i've seen much if anything of him.

[Flopsy]

no ref had already blown- leicester players had stopped
