[Archived] Charlton V Blackburn R

[Rovers_4_life]

I think its the perfect time to capitalise on Charltons crap form of late. 2-0 Rovers

[modes98]

After saturdays game this could either spur us on to have a good run or knock us back and we have a bad run.

Going for a tight win for rovers, 2-0. Charlton throw everything at us in the last 10 and we score the second.

Didn't know about this; talk about lucky escape...

Rovers to win 2-1

Kuqi and Bellamy

Ambrose for the Addicks.

Bad game, our goal comes from a Pedersen direct corner.

I keep waiting for Pedersen to score direct from a corner. It will almost definitely happen at some point.

Maybe better to save it for United / Chelsea or Arsenal at home - 90'th minute to win 1-0. Can you imagine the press coverage we would get

That was close!

I am somewhat worried that if Nelsen carries on like this he may be picked up by Arsenal or Liverpool pretty soon

We have three (maybe four) players in that category. Nelsen, Pedersen, Bellamy and, with his current vein of form, Niell all will attract interest from the big clubs.

It is just a fact of life, we need to get on with it and, in Hughes, we have a manager they all like playing for. If our hand is forced into letting them go we should make healthy profits plus we have the comfort of Sparky's record in the transfer market.

Also out of those only Bellamy is utterly irreplaceable (the most talented striker we have had since Shearer? Causes far more problems for the oppositon than Cole or Jansen in their best periods imho), Nelsen is a fantastic defender and all round professional but we would not be completely at sea if Hughes could unearth another player of Zurab's quality to come in. We should do absolutely everything to hold on to him though.

The one person we cannot afford to lose is Hughes himself. Everything at the club is becoming increasingly built around him.

a win would be nice and without the need for extra time

[rog of the rovers]

Is the game available anywhere online?

Radio lancs?

Radio Kent?

[Manchester Blue]

Bentley up front is an interesting one, Zurab in for Neill is the other change from Saturday.

[Quack]

2-1 Rovers, Ambrose for them, MGP / Bentley with no extra time - that will do nicely.

[joey_big_nose]

Full side

Friedel, Khizanishvili, Todd ©, Nelsen, Gray, Emerton, Reid, Savage, Pedersen, Bentley, Bellamy.

Subs: Enckelman, Kuqi, Mokoena, Thompson, Matteo.

Very interested to see what Bentley can do. Make or break for him? If he can add a bit of guile that would be smashing.

Not holding my breath though....

Charlton

Kiely, Young ©, Hreidarsson, Kishishev, Bent, Murphy, El Karkouri, Ambrose, Johansson, Powell, Smertin. Subs: Myhre, Thomas, Hughes, Spector, Bothroyd.

Strong side with Murphy and Smertin in the centre. Suprised to see Thomas on the bench, I thought he was one of their best performers although to be fair I havn't caught too many of their games.

I saw that, and now we can all see how he does in his natural position, I still think he's crap though. Please prove me wrong you sissy...

[Cocker]

Bentley up front then - interesting

[Ozz]

Almost full strength side bar Toogay. Think a good move RE Bently.

Where`s Matt Jansen............???

[bellamy11]

Radio Lancs packed in for me, looks like it's the Roversworld coverage for me.

[blue/white]

rubbish.

I think Jansen has a thigh strain

Rover have one disallowed and Bellamy is running the defence ragged

[joey_big_nose]

1-0 Charlton half time.

Bentley sounds like he has been decent, as does Kishi. Savage and Gray both seem to have had a poor first half.

Time for the fabled Sparky team talk!

[nonaynevernomore]

f****n ell ! said on radio lancs savage is up to his old tricks again. just play football and dont be a girl. bellamy missed a sitter as well we need to put one on ones away. youd know a team would end a bad run versus us it always happens.

[ihtd]

Savage, he really needs to learn that giving needless fouls away is not on, not even for a Championship player nevermind a Premiership player. Bently upfront, well i got my doubts about that, but if it works out in the 2nd half well, i'll be very happy.

Charlton are there for the taking the team pulls their socks up in the second half, and as for Bellers, he should have buried that chance he had.
