[Archived] Everton v Rovers Preview

[DE.]

Dann is one of Kean's "boys" so of course he's going to play. Dann and Givet is still in theory a strong DC unit, anyway. We look pretty weak up front, though.

[Tugay-is-God]

No. Ollson and Hoilett up the left are a potent combination and Givet is best at centre half.

I'm not sure, I still think Olsson can be a bit I'd a liability at full back sometimes.

[Audax]

Wolves may well defeat Aston Villa today so Rovers could really really use this one to stay up with the pack.

[AllRoverAsia]

Let's just get a win today and the crap can be taken care of later.

[hesfromburn]

Strong team. After goodwillies goals and performance against Fulham he deserves to start with yak missing.

Hanley being dropped after his recent peformances and dann coming back after being out for a long period is suprising.

Dann has to step up or fingers could be pointing at him - he has a lot to prove imo

[LeChuck]

Let's hope we don't get bullied by the likes of Fellaini, Anichebe and Cahill. From being one of the best teams around in the air we now look one of the weakest.

[Sparky Marky]

Staggered that Hanley dropped - has been improving rapidly. Would select him ahead of Dann now. Coco back to normal service.

I can't believe this Hanley appreciation society...The guy is too slow, terrible distribution and has been over promoted recently due to our awful awful season.......Proper 1st division dogger.

Be fair his game has gone from bloody awful to yep 1st Div dogger...

He will be useful to us in times to come. OMG

[hesfromburn]

Totally agree. He's come on leaps and bounds as of late. Totally different to the Grant of last season.

It's probably more the fuss he'd kick up if he wasn't played. Personally I'd pick Grant again but then I'm not the expert.

I can't make my mind up about him. He had one good shot from outside the box against Fulham but his general play is slow. He doesn't seem the most mobile to me.

On the flip side yo could say there is nobody else...(some of us would like to see rochina in that role)

You clearly haven't seen the last 3-4 games then. Dann has done nothing to replace a currently in form Hanley

[sam_rovers]

Surprised Hanley has been dropped; have been really impressed with him over the last 4 games. Let's hope Dann is fully fit and up to the pace, we really need a result here

[Al]

Agreed. I think maybe Hanley should start ahead of Dann on current form.

Does kind of show that if Samba goes it doesn't weaken us too much. Particularly interested to see how Pingu does up front and if Petrovic can impose himself in the middle of the park against a tight and physical team.

Agreed.

[PAFELL]

Rovers to win 2 1

[Audax]

We are lucky Everton did not score there....

[Nelsta]

stats dont look good for us, No starting striker has yet scored for everton, cahil has not scored this season and Saha is playing.

Bring on the Rovers charity roadshow!

[Emge]

Some great skills from Hoilett there.

[hesfromburn]

good work by hoilett then!!!

some good play by us!

Pretty open so far could go either way, could be game about who gets the first goal.

[Emge]

That was close!

[Tom]

It always makes me nervous when we let chances go though I feel it will cost us.

Villa winning ia good news

[EWOODACE1]

very good start. dunn should have shot first time

[hesfromburn]

dunn off side!! good shot though haha

[Nelsta]

Petrovic looking classy with his passing.

[hesfromburn]

Petrovic's passing is brilliant, not sure about the rest of his game yet..
