[Archived] Villa Semi Final 2Nd Leg

[bonerdude]

gotta say even tho we have leaked goals we have not dropped our heads in this one full credit to the lads for havin a go.........come on you blues:rover:

[G Somerset Rover]

Milner MOTM?!..Olsson's been better than him.

[joey_big_nose]

Bizarrely I think this game has sorted our best team though which is one good thing. Robinson, Chimbonda, Nelsen, Samba, Givet, Emerton, Pedersen/Reid, NZonzi, Olsson, McCarthy, Kalinic.

Only took till mid Jan.

"Some players are doing good tonight"...........AND?!?!?!?!

How exactly is that going to help us? For Wigan? We have half of a season of nothing to look forward to now. Just making sure we don't get relegated. Are these the "positives" people see? Is this what football is about? Wading in mediocrity? That in our biggest game of the season we got thrashed again and look utterly helpless?

Are you joking? Can you not see how Kalinic scoring 2 goals is a good thing for his confidence or Olsson impressing again?

[MarkBRFC71]

We lost this tie in the first leg tbh. Sam was far too negative - as we've seen tonight we could probably have taken them at home had we been more positive. But then that's the story of Sam's reign this season eh?

[47er]

Before the game people were saying "all I want is for the Rovers to give it a real go from the start and make us proud." As far as I'm concerned they did that in spades.

[Tom]

At least we are scoring goals...

Yes we have a new fan

[ABBEY]

We were down to 10 men or isn't that relevant? You are beyond belief.

thNX

SIDWELL SLIPS, REF BLOWS WTFD!!@#$%^&*

[Amo]

Anyone notice how we've been scoring freely in this competition? I think Sam is a lot more positive approaching these all or nothing games, than in the league where we're an entirely different outfit. Just a thought.

I agree. Sam got loads out of the players today. I am totally happy with his performance today.

Utterly dreadful decision right in front of him. Shocking

Wholeheartedly agree - if we can play like that (maybe concede a couple less goals and keep all 11 on the pitch) until the end of the season I reckon we'll do fine....

ALLS I WANTED WAS A WIN!!!

THE PROUD AND GIVE IT A GO ...IS STAEMENT FOR LOSERS...WINNING IS THE NAME OF THE GAME I THINK YOU WILL FIND GOOD LOSERS IS A LOSER.

[ffan]

Yes we have a new fan

[Ninjathunder]

It's 5-4 with 10 men for most of the game. Don't tell me this isn't a positive performance against a top side. Now for Wigan and to continue the positive momentum in the league

Conceding three a game will see us down my friend.

Still think we're stronger with Chimbonda at left back and Jacobsen at right back. Don't disagree with the rest though.

[jannerman]

oh (Please don't use that word again), that was a bit of a kick in the balls

[promoted2001]

8-6 we're gonna win 8-6

[Ninjathunder]

Having said that the last goal.... Big Sam out!!!!

[broadsword]

SIX.

and to make it worse Ashley Young scored.

[Tom]

Fully undeserved last goal there, ah well

[ffan]

Balls.

Good finish but the defender should have closed him down and not keep on backing off.

[MarkBRFC71]

Can't remember a season where we conceded so many goals .....
