Rovers Versus Tottenham

[S15]

We will concede three.

Which means we need to score four to win.

We wont score four.

Season over.

[RibbleValleyRover]

I hope we win as i hate them and it would be sweet to do the double over them this season.

Though i think a draw is quite likely, Ramos will want them to carry out a positive performance after the one against Newcastle and our home record isn't exactly brilliant.

[tchocky]

We'll lose this I'm afraid. And no europe next season.

Rovers 3 Spurs 2 with most of the Spurs fans throwing their season tickets on t'pitch.............again.

Hehe. They'll wait til the last home as usual!

I'm stick my neck out here: easy Rovers win. Spuds are on their holidays already and we've still got it all to play for.

Even if we don't win, it's still not over. Our rivals are dropping about as many points as we are, so it could take another 0-4 away from home on the last day to get into Europe. Just like when we went down to say ta-ra to Duffer.

[USABlue]

Loved the preview, the Fat Stan side bits are funny. Thnaks for that 1864.

[USABlue]

There is no way that Spurs will not score, one name, Robbie Keane.

Will be another draw. 2-2 I fancy Roque to add to his tally and it's time Morten got another goal!

Not sure if Samba should play, he makes me nervous these days.

Actually mum, it's time Morten got left out.

[b12_simon]

Actually mum, it's time Morten got left out.

Replaced by?

[LWX]

Replaced by?

Good point, whatever happened to Peter?

I wonder what Scott Sellars is upto these days?

[Cocker]

I don't think Samba should be brought back in for the next game, he needs to know his place isn't 100% guaranteed and that there are others who can come in. It may give him the kick up the backside he needs.

Whilst I do agree with what you say here I really think that he is giving 100% when he plays. If we could just get him to concentrate 100% of the time and stop wandering out of position then we would have a good defender.

Assistant Manager at Chesterfield...

[Daremz]

To be honest, I don't think we've played a decent match since december. And as Tottenham are out of worries whatsoever (already an UEFA-ticket booked), they'll come at us from minute 1. And we'll lose 0-2.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Whilst I do agree with what you say here I really think that he is giving 100% when he plays. If we could just get him to concentrate 100% of the time and stop wandering out of position then we would have a good defender.

Its going to take Nelsen a few games to get properly settled back into things, i.e. fitness, match sharpness. decision making etc. It would be better in my view to play Ooijer alongside him or Zurab if Emerton is still not fit enough to play right back. It should make Nelsen's transition back into the team easier having someone who is in form and is looking really solid, unlike big Chris who is out of form.

If Samba comes back in and has another shocker its going to ask more from Nelsen and could lead to more errors that could have an impact on the result.

[LWX]

Yeah, the defence is an issue at the moment. But having said that i'm still going for a rovers win for this one, 2-1.

[MarkBRFC]

Potentially this could be a cracking game of football.

Really hope we win to keep our noses ahead of Villa for that 7th spot, i fancy a draw though. 2-2.

[pksrover]

I should probably stay away from this one since Rovers seem to go goal-crazy every time I stay away from Ewood (3-1 against Newcastle, 4-1 against Bolton and 3-1 against Wigan).

Oh well, I'll take my chances and going to this one. Roberts and Bentley to share the goals among them in an entertaining 4-2 win, with Keane getting the goals for spuds.

Feel free to blame me if we lose

[waggy]

lets face it samba one of hughes's love childs and he will be back,i reckon 6-6 score line

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

King is out for the rest of the season.

[SAS]

AM i right in saying this would be afirst double over spurs for quite a while if we won?

[Blueboy Downunder]

a win is an absolute must for us on saturday. you know that spurs are gonna give us ample chances to score goals and for me it is wether or not we can score a few and then defend well to get the points. i feel if we can defend well then we gt 3pts.

[philipl]

Enjoyed reading your preview 1864.

This is a game that could produce any result from a big win for either side to a high scoring draw to a dreadful goal-less stalemate with equal probabilities. Goes without saying that we need the win. If King is out, it will help but Woodgate and Hutton are great defenders.

I'm going to be very nervous/anxious tomorrow.

[mattjansen]

To be honest, I don't think we've played a decent match since december.

Reading was poor but Wigan at home blew me away, amazing stuff to control the game with ten men and even scoring two goals. IMO the best performance by Rovers this season.

[Exiled_Rover]

King is out for the rest of the season.

Who?

[Cocker]

Laro is off again. Just read this from the bbc preview for the weekend. Fair enough him throwing out his normal tripe but what the hell has a match review got to do with people wanting Bentley:-

Blackburn v Tottenham

It seems to me that quite a few of the Tottenham players thought their season was over once they had won the Carling Cup. That success only papered over the cracks at Spurs and I expect Juande Ramos to have a massive clear-out in the summer.

This is the kind of game Blackburn need to win - and I think they will win it - if they are to have any chance of hanging on to David Bentley. However, if a top-four team comes calling, I think Bentley will be off.

The first since 95/96 (unless you count the Worthy Cup!)

[92er]

Ledley King, an England international.
