[Archived] MATCH PREVIEW: Rovers vs Wolves

[brian nelsen]

Tactical genius or complete nutjob. You decide. Still looking forward to it more than anything EVER. Come On You Blues.

[Stuart]

OMG...

[SamTheShrew]

Watching Kean on SSN now against this lineup is making me angry

[roversfan1]

I read it as:

Emerton salad Hanley Olsson

Hoilet Nzonzi Dunn Pedersen

Formica

Roberts

Is this not right?

[dopper69]

We've named a very young bench. COYB

[Dunnfc]

Hanley is a cracking young player, but wolves have some bruts up front like Fletcher and ebanks blake... I would have put Henley in from the bench though and had a 5-4-1 will olsson and salagado as wing backs, like the big sam era.

Emerton salgado Hanley Olsson

Hoilet Nzonzi Dunn Pedersen

Formica

Roberts

[booth]

We are missing THREE first choice cb missing, yes we need a centre half but take that out of any club and they will struggle.

Let's pray Nzonzi steps up as well as Harley, scary looking team.

Four actually, one we've know about for six weeks. Inexcusable.

[Hekla]

But we didn't know that Samba and Givet would be injured for the first game, not all Kean's fault.

[brian nelsen]

This Bruno fella can't be much cop if he can't get into the weakest defence in the World. God I love this game so much.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Even if we'd replaced P.Jones we would still have had to play an inexperienced back line. We're going to have to score 3 at least to win this one I fear. Big pressure on Formica to produce.

There is no one party to blame for us not having done our business in the transfer window yet, but when people regularly have a pop at Nicko for writing a bad piece in the Mirror about our owners lack of action in the market, I can guarantee that every Rovers fan is sitting rather uncomfortably looking at that line up.

Optimistically hoping for a 3-1 win. Hoilett and Formica pulling the strings.

Bench is very lacking in experience although has a couple of exciting lads on there going forward

Kean has messed up in not getting back up but it is freak circumstances to have three cb's out and any team would struggle with that

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

It's fine WWWM, we have 'active' bids on the table

Shame they're not 'active' on the pitch

Exactly. If Chelsea had Terry, Ivanovic and Luiz out they too would struggle to fill those centre halve spots.

Missing this one due to family hol in portugal....

COYB

Keep me posted guys following the game on here!!

[PAFELL]

your last sentence is just plain stupid.

if we lose then Kean is a bad manager and its a bad selection. If kean wins then it is lucky? give him the credit he derserve IF we manage to win today. FFS. stop. if we win then admit he got his selection correct. if it's a draw then its up to people what to think and see how we played.

The line up was done without choice due to lack of transfers in. Givet, samba injured - but nobody to replace them. So Dunn and pederson in centre midfield.

But the subs on the bench shows how weak a squad we really have.

[Daremz]

Doyle himself is too smart for Hanley and N'Zonzi. We need to score 5 goals to win this. First blood is vital.

Same here - can't find game so watching Liverpool game as a poor substitute

[broadsword]

Never even heard of Henley and Bruno.

We must have the smallest squad in the Premiership.

[booth]

Exactly. If Chelsea had Terry, Ivanovic and Luiz out they too would struggle to fill those centre halve spots.

And if they sold any of those they would have quickly replaced them.

COME ON YOU BLUES!

Positive side of the riots is that with the Spurs game cancelled Rovers v Wolves has taken their place on Sky Sports - woohoo!

[slough_rover]

And if they sold any of those they would have quickly replaced them.

Yes but were not talking about players that have been sold. Im comparing us losing three centre halves to injury. So tell me if Chelsea had those three injured just before the game who would they play?

[Iceman]

Onouha is available, we could have tried or made a move for him. he at least would have brought experience with him, but no we still waiting on our active birds to be accepted.
