[ebenrocks]

Press F5 to refresh it. Was that a Robinson error?

yeah innit, i have been but it just aint chainging.

Strange it's working for me ok.

[ebenrocks]

havnt kept a clean sheet all of pre season. I know their only friendlies but that is an awful statistic with the start of the new season only a week away.

[G Somerset Rover]

Our excellent pre-season looks like continuing then? Boy do we need some serious investment before the end of August.

If RSC is out then our attacking options look pretty much dreadful. Who the hell is there to bring off the bench?! Robbie Fowler running in behind defences? I don't think so.

People can say what they like about pre-season friendlies but a few resounding victories would have given a much needed boost to our squad and fans alike right now.

I don't think there will be many this season, it's just the begining

Listening to the commentary online it sounds like the shot took a deflection on the way through.

Right ok. I'm only getting the text commentary on the official site. Hope it wasn't an error - he needs confidence.

[John]

All very well playing it on the deck nicely.

Hope we don't lose our 'hard to beat' reputation.

Suppose that is going to have when you lose your best defensive player (Brad).

There wasn't last season either!

Finally, we're playing some of our best youngsters and they are doing us proud.

The conservative brigade will claim that they never had any doubt that the youngsters would get their chance if they were good enough.

I say, how many times did I have to argue with you about the fact that the youngsters could do a better job than some of the regularly failing experienced players?

When a manager has faith in them, gives them an extended chance, most of the times, they will come good.

[T4E]

Finally, we're playing some of our best youngsters and they are doing us proud.

I've just had a text assuring me that we've been awful and what is being said on here is nonsense.

I'm not sure how you're able to make the above statement? Doing us proud? We're losing to a very average side at home. What exactly are you proud of?

[John]

Rover6, would you be happy if we got relegated playing our youngsters?

Your obsession with the young lads makes me think you are the Gary Glitter of the forum!

[LeChuck]

Our best youngsters? So that would be...hmm...just Treacy then?

Having said that, he'll probably get the blame for this, like he did the Coventry result.

[Martin]

1-1 Roberts.

Good play by Treacy.

[alexanders]

1-1 ! Treacy assist and woodenleg Roberts puts it home.

[T4E]

Champions League here we come.

Our youngsters are brilliant!

[alexanders]

I don't think Mccarthy has done much.

What about Judge on right wing and Derbyshire pairing Roberts.

Let's just sell Mccarthy and cash in £7m and get a new striker!

[greggyk]

The lads showing the spirit of that famous night in Portugal against Benfica again......ha

[alexanders]

It's all Rovers atm!

[Majiball]

Jason Roberts My monies now on Fowler to score the winner!!!

He's almost scored again!

Anyone know if there will be any highlights on TV later?

[brian_gallagher85]

Champions League here we come.

Our youngsters are brilliant!

They'd do well in the SPL

[The Rover of Finland]

Tracey seems to be red hot!

[T4E]

They'd do well in the SPL

Are you in love with me?

[CornwallRover]

Are you in love with me?

We all love you dude
