Anyone incredibly nervous about this game?

I'm bricking it bigtime!

I really don't understand why Samba keeps starting. When players don't perform, Hughes needs to drop them. We'll get slaughtered here.

And why has Benni been stuck on the bench for so many games in a row? We need to change things up.

i agree. Hughes out!

Nope, don't expect anything from this game so quite relaxed really.

You serious?!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Reidy playing right back and Bert in the centre???

Should of been a pen to us??? nevermind keeper got the ball, but it was close

I suspect that Samba keeps playing because he's got good pace, unlike Ooijer and Zurab.

Emerton's playing RM, apparently.

So where the hell is Bents??? In the centre?

[rover6]

Bentley CM, no doubt. I think Hughes is mistaken in moving Bents centre because it leaves us without a threatening outlet on the wings. (Emerton and Pedersen are triers but not exactly difficult to snuff out if you're a decent full back).

Reid at right back reminds me of that horrific mess-up he made against Genclerbirligi.

Bentley seems to be roaming, just saw him on the left hand side.

Great play by Bentley, shame nothing came from it

1-0 ! Roque

[Rover Down Under]

Come on!!!! Get in!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!!

[tony gale's mic]

This wasn't in the script...

[rovers1993]

roque!!!!!!!!!!!! ROCKY ROCKY!!!!! 1 - 0!! come on rovers! this is the spirit!

[RibbleValleyRover]

I think thats his 20th goal of the season, he has met his target that he stated when he joined. Well done Roque!

[rovers1993]

we're playing them off the park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tony gale's mic]

This is fantastic, we're looking dangerous every time we go forward and solid at the back. Unbelievable.

[RibbleValleyRover]

What a shot by bents, unlucky

The team is looking solid, Vogel especially. We need another goal though.

What is the formation?

Lee's offish website updates claim that Santa Cruz is playing RM, Emerton CM, Reid RB, Bentley AM.

All i know for certain is Reid is playing right back. Bentley seems to be floating all over the place.

Rooney dives and gets booked.

According to 5-live it's:

Brad

Reid - Samba - Nelsen - Warnock

Bentley - Emerton - Vogel - Pederson

Roberts - Santa Cruz

The only surprise being the swap in positions of Brett and Reidy.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Rooney should be off, already booked and he kicked out at Bents.

[rovers1993]

bentley standing up and getting counted! he is playing very impressively...

everyone of our players are pulling their weight today, cant remember the last time that happened.

[RibbleValleyRover]

1-0 Halftime, Superb performance by Rovers, the best for a long time.

Can we weather the storm that will come in the second half?

[American Rover12]

Rovers started shaky but after the goal the game just turned. Ronaldo needs to be kept quiet. Bents, RSC, actually, everyone is having a great game but those two are standing out. best rovers' football I've seen all season.

Vogel is also standing out for me, he's playing really well.
