[Archived] Bolton V Rovers

[adopted scouser]

...horwich city village of nice yokels.

[Bobby G]

Roberts and Di Santo up front.

Dunn, Emo, Diouf and Nzonzi in midfield, and same back four as last time around.

[imy9]

Could this be an attacking three up front?

Emo Nzonzi Dunn

Roberts Di Santos EHD

[Exiled_Rover]

Jeez, Freddie Roach is really in a bad way.

[Mr. E]

No Benni...

[Miker]

Scrappy game so far, but it feels like we can expect a few goals today.

[Exiled_Rover]

Dull game so far. Midfield non-existant so far.

[Miker]

He just makes it look way too easy!

Pretty dull game though, way too many mistakes.

[Mr. E]

OH MY DUNN!

Who needs Kaka, who needs Ronaldo?

[Miker]

Jacobsen on...

I don't like that move, Bolton's main threat is going to be Gardner and Chimbonda has been keeping him at bay very well so far, I'm not sure if Jacobsen can do the same...

[Iceman]

Super Dunny

[American]

nice lay off by Roberts.

[waynerovers]

that was some finish, if he keeps this up an england call is not that unrealistic

[Miker]

Does Diouf really have to pass it backwards every time he gets the ball?

[Mr. E]

good HT lead.

Our only real weakness is the crosses, which come in very fast and hard, Bolton's strikers are quite pacy and there's always some dangerous flick-on causing confusion.

We need at least another goal or two in the 2nd half.

[Miker]

I just checked and that goal makes Dunn the 2nd best scoring midfielder in the Premier League so far, behind Fabregas.

[waynerovers]

i've got him in my dream team as well

[oozy]

Does anyone have a radio stream to the match?

[Rovers_4_life]

Giving away far too many free kicks in our own half, will get punished eventually. Other than that they haven't caused us too many problems. If I was Big Sam I'd get a new contract offer on the table for Dunny ASAP! Come on Rovers!

[martmitch]

will need more than 1 goal to win this i think, bolton have been very physical on our players and getting away with it mostly, weve rode our luck also so am happy to be going in 1 up, felt bolton had the upper hand last 15 mins of 1st half, classy finish from dunn, good work from di santo and roberts leading to the goal, benni for 2nd half?

[Exiled in Toronto]

One moment of class in a half of otherwise utter tedium. It was the kind of goal that is a great advert for 2 strikers plus the first we have scored on the break since I can't remember when.

Salgado officially confirmed as the highest-paid third-choice right back on the planet

[Exiled_Rover]

Dunn won't be going anywhere.

Jacobsen is a good replacement for Givet - he's been unfairly frozen out recently. The midfield needs to start taking command of the game or else we're going to regret it. Bolton are probably going to score from a free kick if we don't sort our act out.

[Robin]

The midfield needs to start taking command of the game or else we're going to regret it.

Hmmm....that problem sounds familiar....

[Exiled_Rover]

And that's why Roberts is useless.

[martmitch]

gotta step up they will score if it carries on like this
