[Archived] Spurs Preview

[modes98]

Much like west ham there is something of a curse about this game, only it runs in our favour.

Rovers need to take advantage of the home games and this is a minimum of a point, the bigger the gap between us and newcastle the better.

[Eddie]

Actually think this one is pretty close to a must-win for us, but I just sense a defeat coming. Think we'll be outdone by their pace.

3-1 Spurs

[roversmum]

My goodness, you are a ray of sunshine, Eddie. I just popped on to read this afternoon's posts and you are doom and gloom in practically every thread. Where's that rope? MCMC had it last I think...

[Ninjathunder]

I can't see us winning this one, but I can't see us losing it either. I think that means that I think it's going to be a draw. I can't see us scoring more than one goal, but I can envisage us conceding a goal for the simple reason that I can't see us winning the game. But I don't envisage us conceding two goals, as I can't see us losing this game either. So this leads me to believe that the result of this game will be 1-1.

[bazza]

Tooting, you sound like a politician.

I haven't much hope these days.........Rovers 0 Spurs 1.

Another home misery where I feel like topping myself after the match.

PS Sorry, mum, for the doom and gloom.

Lawro predicts a 1-1 draw:

According to Big Sam, last night, Lawro knows nothing

[Ossydave]

2-0 Rovers.

Spurs are very much hit and miss, hopefully tomorrow they'll be on a bad day.

just say 'i think it'll be 1-1' lol

[American]

I think if we win this one, we stay up. Expecting a draw at best, though.

[RevidgeBlue]

Got to say, if we want to keep our destiny in our own hands, and not have to rely on other teams cocking up, nothing other than a win tomorrow will suffice bearing in mind we will probably come away empty handed from Anfield next weekend.

Heart says win, head says morale sapping defeat.

[John]

Feeling quite nervous over this one. With my negative hat on, I feel we are due a dire performance.

We had those against Aston Villa and Everton and first half against West 'aam imo!

If anything on the law of averages we're due a really good home performance.

[John]

By dire, I mean all over the place and receiving a good hammering.

I haven't posted for a while because of the negative posts, but I have to join in with the 'I think we'll lose this' posts. I really can't see us winning this one. If we do, then I honestly believe we are definitely staying up. If we lose, like I expect, then this will be a game I had down as a loss anyway and so it will still depend on our results against the likes of Wigan, Pompey, Stoke, West Brom and Man City.

[broadsword]

Must remember the brown Y-fronts for this one.

[Mr. E]

Our players hate scoring, but we'll most definitely need 2-3 goals to get something out of this game. Why did we let Derbyshire go when the other 3 can't do the job...

[vyeo]

Hoping for a Robinson blinder to keep a clean sheet. Its time he started repaying us.

(But in reality, do think that we'll lose this one.)

[patrickvalery]

I'm feeling pretty confident.

2-1 Rovers

All depends on the way we battle. If we play like we did against West Ham then we have every chance of a win. Just got to keep that little man on the wing quiet.

[RibbleValleyRover]

I agree with those who have said a win today probably means that we will end up playing premier league football next season. That being said i just don't see a win coming today because of our midfield.

Err, it had been a long day and I posted that after several Hoegaardens. Oh dear.

looks like bentley wont be featuring...there's a surprise

[dingles staying down 4ever]

To me this is one game that Sam's tactics will be good. Spurs look like a team who don't like battling so lets get into their faces from the kick off. If we let them impose there style then they will beat us.
