[Archived] Stoke Vs Rovers

[BlueWhiteDynamite]

this is becoming a joke now. the refs giving freekicks for very little and its never for us always against.

[Amo]

Commentator making a very decent point that Kalinic has been isolated, too many hoofed balls, midfield too slow to support him, etc.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Spot on comment by the commentator. I have to agree i feel sorry for Niko, ball played head high all the time and never to his feet, no support and when he does its far too slow.

[philipl]

Bennet is a poor ref- never been impressed. Blows up for nothing in the Stoke penalty area.

Impressively brave defending by Wilkinson winding up Stoke and the crowd!

Get used to it lads. A lot of people on here think this type of BFS 'football' is not only acceptable, but it's the way forward.

I made the point ages ago that because we're playing two strikers DOESN'T mean we're playing 4-4-2, but no one was listening.

It's demoralising, that's what it is.

How many corners in a row?

[Mr. E]

lol 10 corners in a row and we can't put it in. How does this keep happening.

[AggyBlue]

Bret gives it away with another back heel that nearly cost us a goal.

[John]

Think Emerton's last two passes show why the passing game does not suit our superstars....

[Iceman]

2 strikers, and we still playing kick the ball up in the air ######.

And Kalinic chasing rainbows most afternoons shows what, pray tell?

Not playing two strikers though, Di Santo is drifting all over the place.

And nearly again there!

Well, safer with the ball up in the air.

Would get Jase on there, to cause some real havoc

Sorry guv. Of course, it needn't mean that he's playing as a striker, but I was curious as to what position he's taking on the field. Playing off the back of Kalinic I presume?

seems weird to me because I was under the impression that the strength of his game was playing off of the centre half. He doesn't seem the natural choice for teh role of link-up man. You need Keith Andrews for that!

[Mr. E]

3 minutes of injury time? we've barely had 3 minutes of football played in this half.

[Helmshore blue]

2-0

[RibbleValleyRover]

2-0.

Expected a tough game but we are playing absolute rubbish.

[Exiled_Rover]

Bad, bad result. Oh well.

[Bobby G]

game over.

[BlueWhiteDynamite]

2 chances 2 goals. not really better than us. aweful game of football if you can call it that. hardly 30 seconds of play have passed before a freekick. and the samba yellow card is a joke.

[Stuart]

Offside?
