[Archived] 29th October - Norwich Preview

[DP]

Must win game. Draw would be horrible as seen as a good result for Kean.

In the last 2 season, the teams who started with 1 win in the first 10 games, Pompey and West Ham, got relegated.

[mark1875]

Robbo, Lowe, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Rochina, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Hoilett, Formica, Yakubu

[Bluefudge]

Mr Nicolas not as bullish as last week on SSN.

Does he know something we don't ?

[Tom]

Rochina and the Yak start?

What is this opposite day?

Not much cover there for the fullbacks

[chris]

Robbo, Lowe, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Rochina, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Hoilett, Formica, Yakubu

doesn't look like a team that should be bottom, can see a win here

[TugaysMarlboro]

I'm going to give Kean a bit of praise for that team selection. He's kept Givet at CB, kept Rochina in the team and has put a goal scorer up front.

Fair play Mr. Kean, it now remains to be seen whether your tactics can work with your player choices.

[frosty]

That's the exact team most of us wanted for today. So Kean has got that right, just don't mess it up any other way......COYB.

TBH it doesn't so I will correct it so it does

Robbo, Lowe, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Rochina, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Hoilett, Formica, Yakubu - Manager Steve Kean

[SharrockDownSouth]

Good team in theory! Hopefully Rochina and Hoilett will put in the shift and track back! There'll be goals in this one for sure!

[Bluefudge]

Prob the best starting 11 for a while.

That team does have goals in it.

[T4E]

That team is capable of battering Norwich. Expecting a win here.

[Amo]

Can't fault Kean with that side (did I just say that!?). Very surprised his mouthpiece Roberts didn't start.

[Emge]

Hmm, one of the better team selections Ive seen in quite a while.

Maybe I will actually enjoy this match, Ive sort of forgotten how to do that lately

[John]

Mr Nicolas not as bullish as last week on SSN.

Does he know something we don't ?

What was he saying?

[BuckyRover]

Paul Clement's influence?

[brfc4ever]

Great selection. Can't wait now !

COYB

[Al]

Is Dann on the bench or is he still injured?

[T4E]

Bench is Bunn, Dunn, Petrovic, Vukcevic, Goodwillie, Brownnose, Hanley.

[bigbrandjohn]

Just seen the draw. we could get to the semis, we can win this game. Never mind protests getting to the junior players, they are getting to me. We need every ounce of energy to support this talented young team. I think Venkys have the message now, if we start winning and our new players start clicking I don't care if Janet Street Porter is manager. Come on you Rovers.

[Doug]

Robbo

Lowe Samba Givet Olsson

Rochina Nzonzi Mgp Hoillet

Formica

Yak

Got it right, (Kean I mean).

[RibbleValleyRover]

Looking at the team it's probably the best side we can put out however the weaknesses are obvious and are there to be capitalised upon.

Let's see how Rovers fare.

[Al]

Bench is Bunn, Dunn, Petrovic, Vukcevic, Goodwillie, Brownnose, Hanley.

No Dann. So Kean had no choice than to keep Givet at centre back. We need to offer him a new contract soon if he is prepared to stay.

[Josh]

not sure what Vukcevic did to get dropped but lets hope Rochina doesn't have his usual quiet game after playing well the game before

[grizfoot]

Can't really argue with the starting line-up, it's the exact eleven I would have picked.

[rock steady]

norwich have looked pretty decent so far, but i'm going for a 3-2 win for rovers. blind optimism?
