[Archived] Mypa-47 V Rovers

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Good hold up play by Roberts, turned the defender and put a good solid shot towards goal which was well saved by the keeper.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Some observations:

There are more stewards by the corner flag than fans in the Darwin End.

Our final ball into the box from a cross aren't picking out anyone.

The TV camera just showed a girls cleavage.

Rock and Roll!

[USRoverME]

sounds liek we've creaed about 7 good chances, and haven't done much with them. That's the problem with playing strikers who are "out of practice" make hitting the net hard some times...

[Oakland]

Come on Rovers! Get in...

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Bentley came in from the right and from 18 yards the ball flashed just wide of the post.

We aren't playing great football but we look comfortable but it only takes a set piece for them to get back into the game.

Hughes won't be happy with the attacking side of our game at the moment.

[philipl]

Got a bad feeling about this one.

Not looking forwards to the penalty shoot out.

I think Sparky might rediscover his mobile in the morning: "Lawrie, you rang?"

Some serious scores being run up elsewhere in the UEFA tonight though.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

MyPa corner.

Swung into the box, Emerton just about get a clearance to put it behind for another corner.

Any touch on that ball by a MyPa player and it would have been a goal.

Hopefully a kick up the butt for the Rovers players.

[USRoverME]

well, its usually a good sign when our local Maltese gloom merchant philipl thinks things are going poorly.

I feel much better now.

Is the game on radio anywhere?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

RIGTERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wide.

Good build up play though.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

The MyPa goalie pulled off a great reflex save from Roberts 7 yards out.

Still 0-0

[Tim Southampton Rover]

We're dominating now in the final third.

2 great chances which produced 2 great saves.

I'm sensing a goal now.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Never hire me as a psychic, the game's gone flat again!

[philipl]

Its all an American conspiracy but the true villain is Rover 6.

If we had the Academy out there tonight it would be 3-0 by now

but who to>?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

If i'm honest, all this game has done is prove how class Roque, Benni and Derbyshire have been compared to our other strikers.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Freekick on the edge of the MyPa penalty area after a foul on Bentley.

Pedersen and Bentley over the ball....

[Derbyshire Blue]

Should be out of sight by now, and treating it like a training game

[John]

Pedersen is so frustrating. He dwells too long on the ball too often and his corners have been woeful - can hear the bench screaming at him after every corner (because they are not getting past the first man!!).

Bentley is looking very sharp, if MGP could get his act together we would be a very powerful force.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Awful freekick straight into the wall going about 5mph.

[Cocker]

Friggin awful. What the hell are they playing at.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Hughes will be having a go at them because like Derbyshire Blue said they should be way ahead by now so Hughes can rest a few other first teamers. Instead we got another 45mins to make sure we qualify and not concede any stupid goals.

[USRoverME]

I'm sure Joe Garner, Neill Dannsm, Jay McEveley and the like would be up 5-0 at this point philipl.

Agree, Bentley looks good tonight. MGP is having a torrid game, his passing/crossing has been awful. Roberts & Rigters have both been unlucky, but they should be sticking the ball away if they want to challenge for a regular spot.

[philipl]

I'd send MGP and a bunch of academy kids straight back out at HT and tell MGP no cup of tea until the attackers score 2 out of any 4 corners he takes.

[John]

Rigters looks scared to head the ball.

As for Jase, well he is just being his usual self.
