vyeo Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 rovers 1 jeffers (todd sent off) everton 2 beattie, arteta
greggyk Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Looks like Franny Jeffers will be starting instead of the injured Roberts tonight. Anyone know how bad Roberts' knee injury is? 1-1 This is why we still need one more striker! I said before a while back that unless we signed a 3rd good striker, we have still got a crap selection of frowards. I mean, who's better, Dickov or Jeffers? We're gunna get stuffed tonight
DanLad Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Looking at the first three games I thought that 4 points would be a reasonable haul. We'll still get 4 points out of the three games, but by the most unlilely route possible. We all know Rovers. Get beat by Portsmouth, flukey draw with Everton and then beat Chelsea.
FourLaneBlue Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Everton preview here - When Skies are Grey. Seems we aren't alone thinking that £36 is a bit steep for the game this year.

Get beat by Portsmouth, flukey draw with Everton and then beat Chelsea. and then someone hit the reality button ! do you really think we will beat Chelsea ? a dose of reality tonight will hit home and show us just how fragile our squad is at this present time. Oh doom and gloom some may say, but really, I just forsee a very poor opening three results until we see a little more creativity in the team. Edited August 23, 2006 by 1864roverite
vyeo Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Uriah Rennie is ref great at the risk of looking like a fool later tonight, i am actually pretty happy to have rennie do our games. i know people may disagree, but he seems to take more kindly to us than many other referees, and he doesnt seem to bother much about players' reputations. (eg: pen against chelsea 2 years ago, wigan game at home last year etc)
cn_barlow Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 If Jeffers does get his first start then surely there is no better game for it... All the pessimism on here makes me think we'll win... 2-0 Jeffers McCarthy
Hughesy Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I too was glad when i saw Uriah reffing the game. He usually lets a few more tough tackles go, which will suit this game. Im confident that we can do them tonight. 2-1 rovers :ph34r: Apparently at 1pm - Everton had around 2000 tickets left. So how many exactly were they given? 8000?
Fife Rover Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 we have still got a crap selection of frowards. I mean, who's better, Dickov or Jeffers? Good old Kuqi!!

marvbfc Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 doesnt specify that it is for rovers fans only to predict though
CAPT KAYOS Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Ok before I set off... After the pathetic display on Saturday I am going to stay positive despite Evertons good record at our place recently. Therefore on the basis we should have backlash to hand the toffees and there is normally 2 goals + (totally different to games at Goodison) going for a 4-2 victory , and if reports are to be believed the fox in the box appearing on the goals scored column against one of his former employers.

Oh, and I'm putting 1 -1 by the way, just so I can't be accused of sheating! Edited August 23, 2006 by The Gull
