2-0 JUNIOR

[alexanders]

Roberts replaces Kalanic. NOt helping his confidence

[slough_rover]

Kalinic must have been awful to be replaced by Roberts

[trueblue]

Kalinic must have been awful to be replaced by Roberts

Kalinic was booked... so maybe a precaution?

[PAFELL]

Kalinic must have been awful to be replaced by Roberts

Maybe still not fit enough - ironically roberts set the goal up for junior.

Stop being so kind to the lad...I just hope he gains some confidence and fast for our sakes!

[imy9]

According to Five live Roberts done more in 45 seconds than Kalinic did in 45 minutes....ha ha ha gotta laugh!

hold on he assisted for the first goal!as stated before with a superb piece of skill I am liking the kid already.

[HemelRover]

Maybe still not fit enough

Thats the hope im clinging too.

Is roberts playing on the left wing?????????????

[bubblerrovers]

Grabbi the 2nd

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Thats the hope im clinging too.

Hey Remember Forlan was awful at Man U. You'd have him in the side now though! Give the kid 6 months then judge.

Liking the kid due to exactly what?? A superb piece of skill? Did you see it? I'll reserve judgement until I see it. I hope he does work out but as he's one of our most expensive signings for a long time the fans will expect sooner rather than later

[niggit]

Was going to say, can we have Grabbi back

[Exiled_Rover]

Kalinic must have been awful to be replaced by Roberts

Two games in the space of 4 days will be too much for him. He's almost certainly not match fit.

[Bobby G]

Was Reid injured?

Unless Kalinic was injured I dont see why Sam would take him off.

[Tom]

wow less than a game and a half in it seems that Kalinic has been written off by most on here

[Antgrad]

Stop being so kind to the lad...

Yeah, what are we playing at? We should be slagging him off even though he's yet to play a full game for us.

[slough_rover]

Was going to say, can we have Grabbi back

I wouldnt go that far!! Seeing as we've paid alot for the kid he's going to have to learn to take criticism. I will reserve judgement until January but I hope he gets better as hes not exactly setting my pulse racing at the moment.

[Bobby G]

Reid tweaked a hamstring.

[bubblerrovers]

Yep Reid injured, hamsting, too be expected.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Just confirmed on Radio Lancs, Reidy has a slight hamstring tweak.

[DeadlyDirk]

There's no point wanting the media to lay off Kalinic if our own fans can't, give the guy a break, he hasn't even played 90 minutes for us yet, at least wait until he's match fit, Sam himself said not to expect to see the real Kalinic for the first 4-8 games, he's barely played the equivalent of 1 yet.

2-0 up, should be in the next round, Dunn back in the side and scoring and a first goal for Junior who by the sounds of it is showing a lot of promise.

Happy days.

Rovers winning, Burnley losing - what more can you want. Give the man a chance. He has no training during close season and is still young and inexperienced. How many laughed at Folan when at man U - no look at him.
