Thats what i call a weak side, can't blame Sam though as we have a 6 pointer against Hull coming up. If that is indeed the side then we will either scrape through or get dumped out.

Not sure what to make of that team...just re-iterates how poor and scarce our midfield options are.

Surely not! Is it really worth stepping on to the park with that line up?

I actually quite like that team. I probably wouldn't have played Treacy, but apart from that I probably would have gone with the same bunch.

At least Andrews isn't playing hey :lol:

Pound to a penny that, far from being dropped, he's being saved for Sunday.

If BFS was going to drop him, he'd have done it by now. But hey, he's only been in professional football for 40 years so I think he should listen to the experts on here!

Have you seen our central midfield options? That is why Andrews has been involved so much.

Oh dear. So that's probably 2 first choice players playing then. I suppose we should be able to beat Coventry with this team but I just don't get the resting players argurment at all, espacially with 5 days to go before the next game. RSC has scored in 2 games and is looking sharp, well he ain't going to get better by sitting on the bench for an hour is he. It's bleedin' ridiculous.

Good news that the game is on 5LX. You get pretty uninterupted coverage on there without having to listen to those 2 clowns on radio Rovers. Just how bad do they have to get before they get rid of them?

Championship quality team against Championship opposition. Only Samba and McCarthy/Roberts would be starters in our best XI.

Hope we win, but if we don't I'm not going to lose sleep since Sunday is the big one.

Agree with the above sentiments regarding Andrews. He will be in the squad on the weekend and with Grella's injury concern most likely starting next to Dunn unless Axe has a blinder today.

I'm wondering who they're going to bring on for Tugay, who surely won't play the full match. Warnock to midfield? Switch the formation? Will be interesting to see.

Whilst we don't play until Sunday, we have Everton a week tomorrow, so probably just resting our best players for our next two league games.

Looks like Villaneuva's being hung over the precipice on the right wing, again. With Cov's left back, England U21 international, Fox, being attack-minded, I think that, unless we're dominating, we'll have problems on that flank - again.

And by my reckoning, this is last chance saloon for Treacy. (In reality it won't be but in my mind it SHOULD be).

They're missing Scott Dann which is a bonus for us, cos he's useful defender.

Bloody Robbie Savage on commentary for his expert view !!

Not on Radio Lancashire. I notice that sicknote and sicknote too aren't even on the bench - are they injured again?

Great cameo (albeit on the radio) of Roberts: "Jason Roberts is away, he's too strong and too quick for the Coventry defence...but the pass is over-hit". Paraphrasing slightly, but you get the idea.

Kick-off delayed to 8pm. Rovers started brightly passing well for 20 minutes.

Then started hoofing it forward.

Coventry now on top. Commentator says Rovers are wanting half-time to come soon.

WTF??
