Let's hope we haven't signed Grella mkII He suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the 2010 pre-season with Newcastle, I wouldn't be suprised if it was the same injury

Salgado Is A Hero Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 It was quite a clumsy tackle and it could have injured anyone to be fair.
LDRover Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 A Best lay off through injury is a great ready made excuse for our mate Keano. Looks like the 5 game myth will be shattered with this.
chaddyrovers Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Andrew Cryer@CryerRovers Rovers are hopeful Best injury not as serious as looked. Heard a click not a snap
callumrovers Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Whos playing upfront now? Andrew Cryer @CryerRovers No swelling to knee at the moment. All signs good
callumrovers Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I think Formica might be playing there actually...
davulsukur Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Andrew Cryer @CryerRovers Lowe for Murphy, Dann for Givet, Henley for Bruno, Dunn for Gomes
BRFCBOY Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Certainly giving Morris a good run out in the friendlys
Salgado Is A Hero Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Nunes and Edinho have just come on for Marcus Olsson and someone else.
pick32 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 finished 2-1, rovers dominated through out, was impressed with Jorge and Morris, Murphy dictated the first half.
Exiled in Toronto Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I expect we'll be back to previous script of pre-season games not counting for anything and AEK being Blackburn Combination level
Salgado Is A Hero Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Wasn't too impressed with AEK but I think they lost to Preston a day or 2 ago so I'm not sure what the deal with their team is. Friendlies are meaningless in terms of the result in my eyes but we should start to play better once the players get used to playing with each other....in theory of course. Impressed with Best, Morris and Jorge today......oh and Murphy as well but that was to be expected. Lovely bit of skill by Formica as well near the end.

Hekla Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Funny how people slate Jorge as a bad player after his first game, now he plays a good game. Give him a chance.

Waggy76 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Good first half , could have been more than 2 up ...Bad news Best going off (hopefully not to serious) .. Up front we looked ok , when we eventually got the ball to the forwards.... Best , Gomes , Murphy look to have what it takes ...Jorge looks a better bet than Lowe playing in midfield ..But there is a lack of pace in the team (Ollsson not good enough) .Hanley and Givet looked solid enough but a lack of height in that position , we will get found out in the league ...Nunes looked like he might be ok , not on long enough... I was wondering if Goodwillie , Petrovic and Rochina were left out for a reason ?..... If Best is out for any length of time , we could be in for a very difficult season ... No idea what kind of team AEK had out , but had nothing much to offer , but we won ! On the evidence of today , I would be surprised if we made the top 10 ...Need more pace and physical presence throuhout the team ..Also a new manager needed asap
