[Archived] Birmingham Preview

[Sandiway Blue]

Excellent first half from Rovers. But no clear cut chances.

Birmingham will not be as poor second half.

A confident solid first half.

Diouf looks like Zidane. He's had a great opening 45.

Agree,star man of first half looks a real threat and winning some free kicks too.

watching the game also. we have looked the far better side but havnt looked like scoring. kalanic is isolated and his touch has let him down a few times when he has found space.

birmingham will start to push forward in the 2nd half a little more as they are the home team so hopefully we can hit them on the break

[American Rover12]

yes foxsoccer.tv is working. english commentary and great picture. Still the last week of free trial is anyone wants to sign up for the second half and cancel right after.

[Plastic Head]

BBC "Expect tonight's highlights to be brief; a decent Paul Robinson save aside, this has been drabber than drab"

The plan is working so far. The worse the game the better we do....

Let's hope for a total shocker in the second half.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Whoever gets the first goal will win the match imo. Can't see big club being as poor in the second half, we need to take the chance when it comes.

[American Rover12]

salgado saves an open header and clears away what could have easily been a goal.

[philipl]

Bit of Brum pressure after Nzonzi caught out badly.

[doctorryan]

Pen for us.

[Shabani]

PENALTY!!!

[Tom]

Not confident we have anyone on to score it though :S

Edit: as suspected

[hermitstool]

PENALTY!!!

Missed.

[Shabani]

MGP MISS

[American Rover12]

MGP penalty saved.

[Mr. E]

&*&*& Foster.

[philipl]

Why MGP taking that pen? He has missed everyone he has taken for us.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Should have let Niko take it, he scored a decent amount of penalties in Croatia and it would have boost his confidence.

[Tom]

World class save apparently

[martmitch]

oh balls

[AggyBlue]

Not confident we have anyone on to score it though :S

I blame you

[tony gale's mic]

Wasn't the best penalty but a very good save.

Not having Dunny might well cost us a few points...

[Tom]

I think we know the script now, just awaiting Derbyshire coming on to seal it

Please be wrong

[budha]

Brilliant save by Foster. Would have gone in 9/10 times.

[Clitherover]

there goes our chance of winning.

[frosty]

Damn come on Rovers!

[Stuart]

World class save apparently

Good height.

Well taken enough, plenty of power.

Echo Philip's comment though why Peds? Should have been Kali...
