[Archived] Mypa-47 V Rovers

[Quack]

Hopefully a good game with some of the non regular players showing their skills 3-0 to Rovers, Rigters x2 Gally x1

[Ste B]

Lets put the best team out and win this properly. Anything else risks a return to the Souness european results.

[Daremz]

Beat Mypa. Win the first qualifiying round. And join Ajax in a group. Rovers @ Amsterdam again, me watching the two teams I love. My dream.

Getting beaten by Slavia Praha (WHO?! yes, Slavia Praha...) could have one big advantage. And Rovers will flush away the bad taste that's here tomorrow!

[Eddie]

I think the draw might just go through even if we don't...

Nah, that would be the end of all European football for the season.

[cletus]

Cletus cannot make the Mypa game due to work commitments. Gutted

[Finch]

This has to be a formality. We can't slip up in this one surely, can we?

The danger must be not taking the opposition seriously enough and getting caught out.

Cmon Rovers, do an Arsenal - 3-0 without getting out of 2nd gear.

[Eddie]

9-0

[brfc fan]

Comfortable win for Rovers.

4-0 (Benni, Santa, Bentley, MGP)

In my opinion the 4 best Rovers players (Derbs lacks experience but I'd put him at 6th after Samba).

[Rover down South]

Don't think we should approach the game as if it is a foregone conclusion, however, we do have players who could be thrown in at the deep end should injuries occur & this is a perfect game for them to have a chance/keep match sharpness up whilst we maintain a strong team.

Friedel (Gk)

Emerton (Rb)

Warnock (Lb)

Nelsen (Cb) - Gives him a competitive game while under domestic suspension

Ooijer (Cb) - Gives him another game & keeps Samba free from injury

Bentley (Rm) - Gives him a chance to shine ahead of England squad announcement tomorrow

Peter (Lm) - A run out to see if he has what it takes to cover Pedersen

Mokoena (Cm) - Deserves a start, in for Sav

Tugay (Cm) - Should start, although Dunn needs games to continue with his fitness

McCarthy (St) - Needs to get a goal, not scored since Vetra, confidence booster

Rigters (St) - Lets see if he is up to it in a competitive game, THIS SELECTION I THINK IS A MUST

Subs : Brown, Khisanishvili, Samba, Roberts, Dunn, Treacy, Derbyshire

Agreed - Sparky needs to shake it up and give some fringe players a chance whilst saving legs for Sunday

[frosty]

Excellent team RDS - putting out our full strength team would be wrong as, once we get the first goal, the tie is over. Save Savage, Santa etc for City.

[Oakland]

yes! rest everyone...

          Brown

Taylor  Kane  Nolan  Olsson

Treacy  Moko  Tugay  Peter

      Gally  Rigters

1-2 to Mypa

[Ronin]

Get the game (and tie) won first, then we can worry about playing the fringe players after. Still think we can progress, but would like a convincing performance that leads into the Man City game on the Sunday. Would like to see how Rigters is progressing though.

[USABlue]

This has to be a formality. We can't slip up in this one surely, can we?

Heh Heh.

[stuwilky]

Nelsen (Cb) - Gives him a competitive game while under domestic suspension

His suspension is finished anyway now.

[AggyBlue]

Finnish part-timers.

If we don't get a double figure score tonight, I'm not going again.

[waggy]

hope a few off the squad players get a game,love to see gally,nolan,peter,zurab,tugay get a run.

Trelleborgs anyone?

Rovers must take this game seriously, play a strong team & hopefully get a good early lead then maybe blood a few of the fringe players later on in the game.

The UEFA cup (or being in it) is very important for Rovers this year.

Are we on the telly??

Team prediction:

Friedel - Emerton, Samba, Nelsen, Warnock - Bentley, Mokoena, Tugay, Gamst - Roberts, Benni Mac

Subs: Brown, Ooijer, Gallagher, Rigters, Derbyshire, Olsson, Dunn

hopefully we've killed the tie before half time and bring on Olsson, Derbyshire and Rigters for Warnock, Bentley(or Gamst) and Benni Mac.

Score prediction:

Rovers 7 - 0 MyPa

Benni 6, 35

Roberts 47, 76

Derbyshire 51

Rigters 86

Nelsen 89

Att: 12,451

That will do for me

[MarkBRFC]

Cant go to this now unfortunatly because of work, should be back just in time to watch it on 5 though.

Fancy us to put this to bed early, get a 2-0 lead at half time and introduce some squad players like Rigters etc for the second half.

3-0 Rovers, attendance 12,000

[krislu]

I'm expecting us to win 4-0, 5-0 but won't be suprised if we only win by a single goal.

[den]

crowd of around 12000 expected.
