[Archived] Derby Preview

[Paul Mellelieu]

Not really.

We have Dunn, Emerton, Reid, Vogel and (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Mokoena)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))).

The veteran Tugay does not add much to that list, sadly. Sure, for a game or two, he can excel but let's get real, he is well, well past his best. IF we went into next season without Tugay added to the above list, I'd feel as underwhelmed as I would if we did have Tugay lurking around as 5th/6th choice CM.

A kind word to you, why not give it a rest.

No Axe in sight.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Sounds like Derby have had the better start.

[RibbleValleyRover]

1-0 Derby

Offside trap didn't work. Complacency from the lads? they haven't turned up...

[Mr. E]

.....

[Lurid Coat]

Well done!

[Presty On Tour]

this is embarrassing!

[Jimmy Jupiter]

Dunno what's worse, the fact we're 1-0 down or the fact none of us are surprised.

[tony gale's mic]

Gotta say I'm surprised, we've been playing pretty well of late.

[Tango]

Went behind the last time I suppose, still, not sure I'm all that bothered

[yoda]

It would be so Blackburn Rovers to play like absolute drains today.

Hmm, no naughty channels showing the game and I've just rung round the likely suspects amongst the bars of Malta and none of them have it either.

Subscribe to Rovers world and listen!

[Presty On Tour]

we went behind at their place and come back to win, so keep the faith.

[Rovers in America]

Being down is even more frustrating since I can't watch or listen and only have teh BBC Live Text to tell me what's happening which is showing us with 62% possession.

[Rovermatt]

Utterly believable yet no less disgraceful. I'm disgusted.

[joey_big_nose]

It sounds like we are not pushing up enough. Apparently big gap between our midfield and strikers.

[T4E]

Pathetic.

[Spansterkid]

1-1 Roque

[DudeAbides]

1-1

[Presty On Tour]

another present from santa! pure class this bloke.

[tony gale's mic]

Look on the bright side...we nick a winner and things stay the same at Villa Park and there's still hope of a European slot going into the last day.

[Rovers in America]

Villa still tied at 0-0. It sounds like Villa is having some problems and according to Setanta have had to drop 7 men back on many occasions.

[Rovers in America]

Question, did Everton enter for the Intertoto?

[tony gale's mic]

Villa still tied at 0-0. It sounds like Villa is having some problems and according to Setanta have had to drop 7 men back on many occasions.

Would be really great if Wigan nicked a winner. That would mean that if we beat Brum then Villa would need to win at Upton Park, provided we win today.

Maybe a little too wishful thinking though...

Come on Tugay!
