[Archived] Fulham Vs Rovers

Roberts MOM so far

[bazza]

Rovers have played well for the first half of this first half without scoring.

I'm beginning to get the collywobbles. Can't stay on top for ever......

[bigbrandjohn]

Grella looking solid if he can stay injury free

[RibbleValleyRover]

Roberts MOM so far

Worked hard, hasn't really threatened their goal much though.

[Exiled_Rover]

Roberts MOM so far

No chance, he's been tosh. Provides absolutely no threat.

It's been a very easy game for Rovers, we just lack that cutting edge - we're carrying three players (Roberts, Diouf, Andrews) that are very very unlikely to turn a half chance into something.

Oh and diving isn't a European disease. Dempsey has been on his arse several times tonight with minimal contact.

[RibbleValleyRover]

1-0 down. 1 chance and they put it away.

Take off Roberts and put on Kalinic or Benni.

[niggit]

Great....

[Spansterkid]

They've barely touched the ball

[bigbrandjohn]

First shot on target. Through ball from Duff. Robinson near post .

[Mr. E]

beyond sickening.

We boss the game entirely, somehow don't score, Fulham one glance upfront and its 1-0.

Benni McCarthy MUST come on at HT. Must.

[DE.]

That was nailed on to happen. Said to my dad when Salako was saying we were the dominant team I'd bet on Fulham scoring. we had loads of possession but were doing very little with it, stay on top for too long without doing anything and you will get punished on the counter. Happens over and over and over.

[BuckyRover]

I'm not worried. We have shown enough to say we can definitely get something from this game

[Tim Southampton Rover]

BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Can't see Roberts scoring tonight, i'd makes changes at HT.

[JamieUK]

Just saw the goal - hard hit shot but looked like it went straight through Robinson as he dived.

Hopefully we can bounce back as we did to win here a couple of seasons ago...

[bazza]

Told Ya

[jim mk2]

Take bleedin' Andrews off. The man's a curse.

[Exiled_Rover]

Robinson should DEFINITELY have saved it, but that (the fact they've been ######, had one chance and scored)'s football for you.

[Miker]

Losing this will just be cruel. Our midfield has been strong, with Andrews and Grella the highlights. I have to say we need McCarthy on for Di Santo, Roberts has been working very hard so far.

[Plastic Head]

2-1, 1-1 or 1-2.

If Keef plays, 3-0.

Not sure we will go with Dunny in centre MF again. Hope so, but maybe Grella and N'Zonners in centre mid and Dunny on the left. Dunny can go in the middle when Grella gets injured.

I'll stick with 3-0.

Why oh why oh why do we have to play with 10.

[rovers1995]

Sure this happened last season, we played the better went behind and won the game. Don't think it will happen today. Benni Mac needs to come on and put three upfront. Wish I could watch the game

or indeed last season

[BRFC1995]

that goal was too easy..........and we are toothless

[BuckyRover]

I can't believe people are saying Robinson should have saved that. What are you talking about? Even in slow motion it was still travelling fast.

[Dan]

Useless 'Keeping. Bloody typical though, Fulham haven't had a sniff before the goal. Can someone tell me what Diouf actually does? He is slow, no skill, can't cross and can't score. Di Santo can't finish, I think this is pretty obvious now. Roberts looks lively, but as we know he is ######.
