[Archived] Rovers v West Brom

[Balwer]

Jones really likes barging through players doesn't he? Very lucky there.

[Tarka]

hoilett mom for me ...

[heysham rover]

Pedersen has been appalling today, given the ball away casually far too many times

[bigbrandjohn]

What a let off. Dozy jones challenge in the area. Free kick given outside

[LeChuck]

He'll have to cut that out, that was a definite penalty and we got away with it.

We've completely lost control of the game since Dunn went off, he was starting to run the midfield.

[greco]

stupid decision making by jones, thats the 2 time now.

[cn_barlow]

i hope when everyone is fit pedersen loses his place in the team. He is infuriating!

[DE.]

Struggling now... MGP has been absolutely diabolical. Get him off ffs.

Agreed. Don't understand Dunn off for N'Zonzi. N'Zonzi should have come on for Jones if anyone. Hoilett could have played Dunn's role, or Pedersen even, with one of the Dioufs coming on. N'Zonzi seems to be set up on the wing now.

[Hekla]

Why is N'Zonzi playing on the left?

[bigbrandjohn]

You got to hand it to West Brom. They play good football but no cutting edge

Hanley for Salgado

Speaking of cutting edges, when is the last time we threatened? Sitting back is not good.

[American]

Kind of reminding me of Savage when he played for us. Considering we've never properly replaced Robbie, I'll take that.

[DP]

Lesson for Kean there. When you're 2-0 up but still have half an hour to go, don't make a double substitution. Good job we have one of the league's best keepers between the sticks.

I know Dunny can't usually make the full 90, but he was really bossing it. At least keep him on until 75 minutes have gone.

[Balwer]

Does Roberts understand the concept of a pass?

[DE.]

Last 15 mins we've been dreadful. Can't stop giving possession away! Not sure if it's cos we're knackered or whether the subs have had a negative effect but this is far from comfortable.

[heysham rover]

We have made this last twenty minutes unnecessarily difficult. Given the ball away far too cheaply and invited pressure, let the game/shape get stretched.

[OsloRover]

Questionable subs with both Dunn and Kalinic playing well.

Major back four shuffle now with Hanley and Samba in the middle, Givet LB and Olsson RB (!)

its ok to do double subs, but giving nzonzi a left midfield position is insane. Jones has been lacking a bit, would make much more sense, to sub him and give nzonzi a more suitable position.

wreckless and naive subs by kean.

[blue/white]

Agreed ...

But once jones picks up a 'reputation' amongst prem refs they'll only be happy to beat us with that stick

[heysham rover]

Why is Phil batty wearing leggings, it's like a Lycra clad buffalo

[Miker]

Have to say... The substituions were a bit strange. I can understand taking Kalinic off, but Dunn and Salgado should've stayed on.

[Nelsta]

Roberts with a miss, nowt new.

[Presty On Tour]

Special mention for Givet, he doesn't get much praise but he has been excellent today.

salgado was a sensible sub, thomas was raping him.
