[Archived] Preview (Not) Asia Trophy

[scunnyrover]

To be fair dunn looks like he's the one that's wants to be involved

[booth]

Hang on Formica = midfielder, Rochina = striker yet Formica's now upfront and Rochina is in midfield?

And the referee is crap, booking people in a friendly. What a prat.

PEDERSEN!!!!

[danielwhite813]

Pedersen is useless. If we weren't so short of players, I would say get rid. We need a quality striker desperately, going into the season with Roberts as our main striker would be disastrous. Nzonzi has had a good game

PEDERSEN!!!!

Don't forget.. It's Dowd's pre-season too... he's getting his pencil in shape

[Tooogs]

Rochina has some serious skills.

[scunnyrover]

Great ball in from rochina, he's looking sharp

[Tom]

Rochina has some serious skills.

He does he just has to learn when to use them

Once again Dunn can't play a yard pass and Nzonzi cant control the ball

Theres some good use of Rochinas skills

[Herbie6590]

I know it's pre-season, I know it's a friendly, I know it's humid/hot, I know the pitch looks a but shoddy etc but I am watching hoping to see something that gladdens the heart & makes me think we might just be OK next season. At the moment, I'm struggling.

Our passing is poor, in terms of range and accuracy; we have no raw pace and our reserve defence looks fragile.

....Now, that said, Ruben has just shown more technique in that little dragback than the rest of the team in the rest of the match combined....

So my optimism search is going to land on Rochina & hope that he's the next Tugay, Duncan McKenzie and Kevin Gallagher all rolled into one.....

[Tim Southampton Rover]

We're beating the champions..... :-)

[booth]

Let's not forget there's no Samba, Robbo and Hoilett out there.

Or Goodwillie

[Tom]

We need to get someone on to replace Dunn, anyone.

Get Henley on and move pedersen central if need be

Funny that the two best players are the two that Kean got slammed for signing!

Just as I slag Dunny off he scores a belter!!!

[Scott18]

Rochina looks ace/ Him and Formica have got me really excited about this season. GET IN DUNNY!!!

[Josh]

Just bring Dunn on for free kicks

[Herbie6590]

That goal was brought to you by the power of fried chicken...

[niggit]

Think we have found the 3 to play in midfield behind the striker.

[Roost]

Rochina looks very very comfortable on the ball. He has some real potential.

[The Rover of Finland]

Oh yeah, seems like we have some real talent and legs. Rochina looks as good as hoped. Formica will fight for starting place and Junior we already know.

[Tooogs]

Think we have found the 3 to play in midfield behind the striker.

Hoilett Rochina Formica?

[Tom]

Formica looks like he can thread a through ball. Shame we have nobody who could do damage off one.

The highlights of this trip has to be the 2 january signings.

[ghoin]

Any link to watch the game?

[niggit]

Hoilett Rochina Formica?

That's the one, or to me I think it would work. It's weather or not Kean will keep out Dunn and Pedersen.

[Makey11]

Ive seen nick Blackman play 5 or 6 times now. Everytime he's been the awful! Get rid!

[ERIKS666]

The 2 jan signings are about the best 2 on the pitch

[AHoyle90]

The two youngsters Formica and Rochina look class on the ball and looking forward to seeing more of them. Formica has got the eye for a pass and glides forward effortlessly when it opens up. Rochina's touch and dribbling are brilliant and has a cracking left foot.

Grella how you ever made it to the Prem i will never know.........oh wait, i do - INCE
