Good preview.

Don't think so, the only League Cup games I can see being televised anywhere in the world are Forest v Wigan and Cov v Brum.

Good preview.

doubt it, but full commentry is on radio rovers

[roverandout]

im hoping rovers get tonked and listening to kean's excuses afterwards

[Tango]

Decided to go at the last minute. Not sure if it's such a good idea... will reserve judgement for the team sheet!!

[neophox]

Anyone got the team?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Franchise FC against the worst run club in Britain. Jesus, football really has sunk to new lows.

[RoverScot]

Kean, Orr, Olsson Marcus, Dann, Hanley, Nunes, Jorge, Etuhu, Vukcevic, Rochina, Edinho

Subs: Usai, Formica, Lowe, Martin Olsson, Goodwillie, Morris, Bruno.

Nice to see Vukcevic and Rochina start!

Also nice to see Martin Olsson involved on the bench. Maybe a return on saturday if not sold?

[hesfromburn]

quite a strong team, the complete unknown ability of edinho and jorge could damage us, and the awfulness of Scott Dann means we will definatly let a goal in or two.

[LeChuck]

Would rather Goodwillie started for match fitness, otherwise not a bad team. Should go through.

So quite obviously Vukcevic's appearance fees don't cover the Carling Cup...

Didn't Shebby say that thing about appearance fees was untrue? And don't we believe Shebby?

[Dunnfc]

The official line is, Vuckevic is just not fancied by Steve Kean. Not rated as a player...

Hope he has a scremer of a game tonight.

[3rdpillar]

• Vuckevic been good when I have seen him play

I hope so to - from the limited we have seen of him he is a far better option on the right wing than Lowe. Having said that - I think Lowe is being played right wing in a vain effort to improve the defensive side of our game.

[G Somerset Rover]

Didn't Shebby say that thing about appearance fees was untrue? And don't we believe Shebby?

No, we don't. Vukcevic is obviously more talented then 99.99% of our squad and has not even been given a chance. Risky by Kean playing him tonight cos if he has a great game then the fans will keep on his back.

[donnermeat]

I can't believe my eyes, I see Simon's name on the teamsheet.

Do you think he doesn't favour him because he is allegedly a Hunt/Vineeth signing? Another one of his rat like excuses to take to the witch of Pune?

Wouldn't make a difference though he was easily the best player on the pitch in his debut in this cup last year then when he played in the league got an assist and a goal and then disappeared

There is no logic at all in not playing goodwillie not that we should expect any!

[Hekla]

Isn't that the whole point in a cup match? Got to give these guys a chance against lower opposition. Great to see Vukcevic and Rochina starting. Overall it looks like a strong team.

Yes but we dont even know if these random portugese players can even play football. Keans records with signings is awful.

[A cup of beans]

tryin g to renew my roversplayer and its asking me to sign in with a different email address. FFS! amateurs!

[arbitro]

Tony Cottee has just reported we are playing on the break against MK Dons - way to go Keano.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

We've had the best chance of the game cleared off the line apparently.....a Nunes cut-back to Edinho......and apparently we look dangerous on the counter attack....according to Gillette Soccer Special.
