salgado has been our best player by a mile for me

as i speak 2-1 rovers

alan judge

[modes98]

Have it 2-1!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Good finish by the wee man.

[roversfan99]

Good play by Kalinic, hes good at running at defences. And great improvisation.

[bigbrandjohn]

Bizarre goal but I will take it next week. Here comes the judge

[neophox]

yes Kalinic pass to Judge was class....lying down and chipping to Judge with a cool finish, nice to see!

[Jamesw1982]

that was nice play emo shudda done better

[Dan]

I thought Kalinic should have had a shot instead of passing, but the pass whilst he was on the deck was brilliant! Nice finish by Judge. Does this channel not show replays?

[Jan]

Watching the game and both Roberts and Grella is absent. I think Hanley is off for loan so he's not included. Khizanishvili is another absentee.

Ratings after first half.

Robinson - not som much to do. Fortune scored when he was clear with Robinson so no chanse.

Salgado - thats a player.. looks inspired and hungry, dangerous coming forward.

Jones - looks good and stable

Givet - a little bit shaky, not fit?

Chimbonda - terrible...what happened to him..

Emerton - looks premiership player...nice to see.

Linganzi - the best I've seen this young gun play, he will be something for the future and may play in cup games but no starter.

Dunn - class free kick goal...he's hot but I want to see more in the second half.

Morris - the lad is one for the future....he will come in some games this season and will give Olsson a push in a year or so but not premier starter yet, but will play cups.

Blackman - haven't seen much, some neat passes though, no shot on goal.

Kalinic - nice to see him back, will improve for every game but may start on bench against Everton.

At the moment my first eleven is this.

Robinson

Jones, Samba, Nelsen

Salgado Olsson

Emerton, Dunn, Nzonzi, Pedersen

Diouf/or Kalinic

Bench: Kalinic, Hoilett, E-H Diouf, Givet, Linganzi, Andrews, Bunn.

YOU HORROR!!!

I'm at the game and had actually forgotten Andrews existed.

Nice to see a lot of the younger players playing with a level of confidence, taking their men on, as opposed to the usual route one, direct style.

Is Big Sam there, or is McDonald in charge today?

[Iceman]

i have a good feeling about Rovers youngsters this season. Morris looks very good, and perhaps Judge will step up this season.

YOU HORROR!!!

Welcome back.

You need to come back on the board more often to see we have not forgotten him.

[Doaksie]
