[Archived] Rovers Reserves v's Celtic Reserves

[Guest Rovers4Good]

Bring it on.

Big Yak, Danns and maybe Grella are getting a run out as we speak v's Celtic at the training ground.

[Hughesy]

Yep thats what the game was set up for. Some of the younger lads on twitter yesterday said they were involved.

[Guest Rovers4Good]

awesome just about to kick off i'll let you know how they get on

[Guest Rovers4Good]

1-0 Vince Grella, top corner from the edge of the area left footed, very good finish.

[Guest Rovers4Good]

2-0 Grella shot too hot to handle and number 10 on hand from 3 yards for the rebound.

[Tom]

Is this the same vince grella?

[alexanders]

Number 10 is?

[Guest Rovers4Good]

Is this the same vince grella?

I know, he's even throwing his weight around and just got involved in a tussle with one of the Celtic lads.

[T4E]

This.

Number 10 is?

And this.

[Guest Rovers4Good]

Number 10 is?

Sorry Osayamen Osawe

[T4E]

Any idea of the full line up?

[Guest Rovers4Good]

Unsure of some of the res's but Anderson left back, Ribeiro right back, Danns centre back, Grella centre mid with Yak up top (but playing more in the hole)

Out of interest, where are you watching this from?

[Tom]

Is young Slew playing?

[LeChuck]

So Grella is fit then? Get him in against Fulham.

[jones_rover]

Is vukcevic involved?

[Boltinho]

vukcevic has euro qual games

[Sverre]

Is vukcevic involved?

Isn't he playing international football with Montenegro these days?

The side of the pitch

To be fair he looked good. Yakubu also did alright at holding the ball up but wasn't really in the mix when we attacked, too deep to be a striker.

[Commondore]

2-0 Grella shot too hot to handle and number 10 on hand from 3 yards for the rebound.

Is this a windup?

EDIT: Just realized Vinny didn't actually score the second goal... Still, when as the last time he scored in a Rovers shirt? Has it even happened?

About 20 minutes before that one he scored

Can't remember him scoring though, as said above kind of, he needs to play to do that! I've always liked him as a player it's just getting him playing is the major problem

[Sverre]

if he can stay fit for a season that would be a like a new signing for rovers

I'd rotate him with Petrovic, try and get as many games out of him as possible. It's blatant that he'll never play three games in a week, or perhaps even complete 90 minutes two games running, but if we can get games out of him here and there then it'll be a huge bonus.

Treat him similar to how Spurs did with Ledley King for the season, we desperately need a midfielder like him in the squad.

.....and so the Grella cycle starts again. A brief glimmer of hope.....

....and then he'll pick up an injury in training tomorrow and be out of the squad for Sunday.
