philipl Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Pompey have just picked up Kanu on a free- dangerous on his day and very likely to face us on Saturday.
Presty On Tour Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Pompey have just picked up Kanu on a free- dangerous on his day and very likely to face us on Saturday. i'll never forget his miss for wba when he chipped it over the bar from 1 yard though i'll agree with you philipl, on his day he's dangerous and hasn't shown much quality in a while since his arsenal days.
OscarRaven Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 2-2 Rovers to keep take a 2 goal lead within 20 minutes only to be pulled back by a goal just before half time and a late equaliser (Lucas to blame, day dreaming of his projected signing on fee's). Benni, Roberts. As yet unsigned player x 1, Kanu.
Ozz Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 KANU did have a good game for WBA at Ewood a bit back. Most of the time though these days, he should be KANNOTDO. Ho-ho, good one Ozz.
fumofumo Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I had a dream in the morning whereby i was checking the live scores-- and the scoreline was Portsmouth 3 Rovers 0 (i think). Halftime was 2-0 to Portsmouth. ...I hope my dream will be awfully wrong. Enough of the weird dream. Me thinks 1-1 will probably be a decent result to kick off the season with.

colin Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Most recent first away games for Rovers over the past few years.

Ozz Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 01-02 Derby lost 1-0 Sorry Col, it was 2-1 to Derby. Last minute good equaliser chalked off for non existant offside.
DavidMailsTightPerm Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Ok - ever the optimist - Pompey with a new centre half (who Roberts gave the run-around last year) - and a new keeper. Going to go for a 1-3 win to Rovers - the score flattering us - but Roberts and McCarthy to make all the difference with a goal apiece, Reid with the other. Here's hoping
G Somerset Rover Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 We really need to get a defender in this week-Nelsen is probably out, zura is struggling, axe is on international, todd is struggling...but good news in the LET big Dom Matteo should be fit!
Manchester Blue Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 2-1 Pompey. Sorry to be a pessimist I just think they are so tough to beat at home and think we'll struggle this time with defensive injuries.
percy Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I'm going for Portsmouth 0 - 2 Rovers Mainly because I think Roberts and McCarthy are ace and Portsmouth will struggle with Kanu and Todorov upfront, even with our injuries. Also, just so I can laugh at Manchester Blue when he's wrong!
AlamoRover Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) 1-0 Pompey Edited August 15, 2006 by AlamoRover
Presty On Tour Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 with all our defensive injuries with todd struggling and zurab and nelsen almost certain to be out, the back 4 will probably be: emerton neill todd gray todd will play, he was only brought off for a precaution, dom is useless, reid will be better used in midfield and unless we bring in some reserves from the youth, i can neill going inside to centre back and emerton filling in at right back.
stuwilky Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Also, just so I can laugh at Manchester Blue when he's wrong! Are you going percy? Make sure you look after your ticket.
