Rovers Versus Tottenham

[tony gale's mic]

Bloody referee, that would have been odds on for 2-1 surely.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Roberts is making Dawson look like a sunday league player.

[emglch]

friedel to the rescue!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Lennon still can't cross a ball

[Nelsta]

Sounds like Spurs are gettin all the refs descisions.

[rovers1993]

they are only playing down the line and we're coping but not THAT well... we need to start dictating the play also now.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Don't way to tempt fate, but imo samba has been immense this second half so far.

Villa 2-0 up

[Rovers in America]

Villa just took a 2-0 lead

[AssClown]

Not much of our link up play is working in the final third at the moment. A bit frustrating. Few nice touches by Vogel mind you.

[RibbleValleyRover]

What you think of Vogel so far?

Been solid in my opinion.

[DudeAbides]

Come on lads!!!

[Rovers in America]

3-0 Villa now.

As for Vogel, he's been good so far especially considering it's his debut with Rovers. I can see some of his passes being even better once he's more comfortable with some of the surrounding player's tendencies.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Warnock has been superb

[joey_big_nose]

I have to say Samba has massively improved. First 20mins he was terrible but now has picked up. Vogel is encouraging.

After being very average last week Bentley is looking excellent again.

[Lathund]

Warnock has been superb

In the second half yes, but was responsible for playing Spurs onside a couple of times in the first half, and wasted some attacking opportunities.

Not going to judge Vogel until he's had 3-4 games at least, as he can't be near full match fitness yet, but he's been pretty good so far. If he plays like this lacking fitness he could be a very good player. Seems rather Tugay-like, except trading some of Tugay's amazing technique and style for some more graft and work rate.

[AssClown]

[FourLaneBlue]

Last week´s game was against Reading.

[RibbleValleyRover]

After our performance in the first half, and with Spurs looking more of a threat now i would take a draw.

[rovers1993]

oh crap, remembered incorrectly! sorry, just ignore my comment then

[Nelsta]

Denied a clear penalty

[rovers1993]

blatant penalty but ref is a #### and we didn't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dammit!!!!!!!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Should of been a pen? I've seen them given

[AssClown]

Why did Bently have to go down so dramatically? If he'd just gone down normally he would have got a penalty.

[Rovers in America]

Hmm so it's a foul just outside the box, but not inside the box?
