LOL typical

[RibbleValleyRover]

Typical Rovers start

Warnock went to ground to early...

[Eddie]

Well done Mr Warnock.

[Lathund]

Samba and Warnock to blame for that. Samba followed Adebayor when he dropped deep, then didn't bother to track Ade's run that resulted in goal. Warnock got beaten too easily by SWP.

caught out of position, take the money

[RibbleValleyRover]

(Please don't use that word again) sake Roberts, gets easily muscled off the ball by Bridge!

[Iceman]

Warnock ffs, take the money Rovers.

[RibbleValleyRover]

City far too much time on the ball. Where's the pressing? the closing down?

[spencey7]

Does Jason Roberts' constant grinning like an idiot annoy anyone else?

[rovers1993]

we're getting into the game abit now... having chances. specially peds going in for the header from lars cross.

[HemelRover]

Its not all doom n gloom though. We are playing some nice stuff....some long balls as well to to be honest. McCarthy looking sharp.

[bigbrandjohn]

Jacobsen putting over some sweet crosses. shame about the goal, we are regaining our composure

[adopted scouser]

Rovers playing quite well actually - Samba missed from point blank range

[RibbleValleyRover]

I wish Di Santo had started, offers much more of an aerial threat than Roberts.

No, but you annoy me.

Jacobsen's been putting in some good crosses. We look as weak defensively as we did last season though... way too vulnerabe against pacey players...

[rovers1993]

JR misses easy chance... big suprise.

[Mr. E]

Roberts still can't shoot.

[HemelRover]

Stoke 1-0 up! Ha!

[Nafe_rovers]

at least burnley are loosing!

[Harry Balls]

FFS Roberts!

On a positive note, Jacobsen's distribution from the right has been really impressive. If Robinho keeps letting him go (which he will), that's going to be our best outlet...

[Iceman]

I would rather have the ball in the back of the net, than a striker who is a bit of a nuisance to defenders. Same old Roberts!

[Harry Balls]

Robbo's kicking has been outstanding!

Considering how few chances we create with the players we've got i have to agree.

[adopted scouser]

We could be winning this

[tony gale's mic]

Yep don't understand for the life of me why we didnt start with Di Santo. We desperately needed some star quality if we were going to try and match City, and while I like Roberts as a player and think some people are harsh on him, he's definitely not star quality.
