[Archived] League Cup - Gillingham Away 25/08/09

[JWUpper]

when i saw Van Heerden at the city game he had a kind of pot on his foot so dunno if he's injured or if it was a precaution....or some crazy fashion statement?? would like to see him play though!

[Parsonblue]

In answer to your question spencey7, I shall be travelling to Gillingham tomorrow and will be more than happy to see the Rovers play in the same way as we did against City and Sunderland. I know you find it difficult to believe that some of us don't mind Sam's style of football. In all the years I've watched the Rovers I've seen all sorts of styles, from Jack Marshall's superb attacking style to the dire stuff that we played under Ince. All manager's have their different approaches and I must say that, although we have lost the two opening games, I have thoroughly enjoyed them from an entertainment point of view.

Warnock is probably travelling.

He was definitely on the plane down today - he was spotted by my spies at Manchester airport with the rest of the team.

Van Heerden may or may not be injured, but he is absolutely terrible. He'll make Rigters look like Alan Shearer. Watch this space.

Will he? That's a bonus! I'd start with Rigters and van Heerden if that's the case.

Good work. I'm adding Spencey to my ignore. First person i have had to do it to!

[Presty On Tour]

What are the chances of us starting with a midfield of?

Emerton Reid Grella Dunn

On a serious note, I hope all 4 play some part of the game.

[cn174]

I'm looking forward to this one. I have rather conveniently arranged a meeting in our London office on Tuesday I'm going to try and recruit new Rovers fans in the London office tomorrow, not sure how sucessful I will be but I'll give it a go!

Shall hopefully be at Victoria by five.

[Ozz]

Jeez am I the only one without an office in London??

[1864roverite]

Oz, you could have come with me ! Unfortunately my intended itinery was amended by a trip to Wetherby and Lincoln rather than the London area.

You could always branch out southbound
