[Archived] Charlton v Rovers

[foreverrovers]

Wish we kept N Zonzi he'd be playing now Keano is gone.

Thought that last night aswell.

[Veevs]

Fairly happy with the point.. the side was bound to be utterly disjointed.. was literally a case of Kean walking out the night before a match, so tactics and all match planning will of already been done with little or no time to change things and without a doubt no time to change the squad.

I disagree with the comments about our squad being poor... allot of it imo is down to the Kean regime, and it will take time to get back on track, we had the usual lack of motivation, fitness issues, tactical ineptitude, players out of position and as ever failed to play to our strengths and their weaknesses.

Lets get the new manager in, give him a few weeks (fitness regimes will take time) to get things ticking and see how things go from there.. at least for the next few games we will have some of the players frozen out by kean back in the squads.

[Rover down South]

Murphy has been dire, he is captain and supposed to lead by example. Apart from that he didn't even acknowledge the fans at the end.

Anyway, I'd of rather seen Nunes on the wing today, he showed signs of class the other week and will need time, but I'm sure he'd of done more than peds/Lowe.

Midfield is lacking any kind of real attack. Think I'd of gone Formica -> Murphy, Nunes -> Pedersen & Rochina -> Lowe.

[iBL4cKBuRn]

I would go with when fit. Kazim, Olsson, Formica, Rochina.

Get them all in, give the team pace.

[Ricky]

Well I bloody hope you don't get the managers job then!!

[iBL4cKBuRn]

Why?

We need to bring a few of those into the starting line up, we need a much quicker line up.

Kazim And Olsson on the wings, along with Simon. Formica back in the middle.

[bob fleming]

Well I bloody hope you don't get the managers job then!!

+1

Unlike our goal difference under the bookies favourite IBlAckburN.

[iBL4cKBuRn]

+1

Unlike our goal difference under the bookies favourite IBlAckburN.

Please explain what would be wrong in Swapping Lowe For Kazim. Olsson for Peds & Formica for anyone in the middle.

Much quicker and better line up

[Salgado Is A Hero]

iBlackburn, this isn't Fifa 13.....Formica likes getting stuck in but I don't think we can get away with him and Rochina in the middle...in fact we'd concede at least 3 a game in all likelihood.

Etuhu needs to play.....if not Lowe or Jorge.....there's a reason every team plays a defensive midfielder.

[iBL4cKBuRn]

I didn't mean playing them all at the same time. I just think we need to introduce some more of them into our team, don't see what's wrong with that?

[Sparky Marky]

I would go with when fit. Kazim, Olsson, Formica, Rochina.

Get them all in, give the team pace.

A Bullshyter and a fool.

A Bullshyter and a fool.

God you're stupid. Stick with Pedersen & Lowe on the wings then. You clearly think they are doing a good job.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

I didn't mean playing them all at the same time. I just think we need to introduce some more of them into our team, don't see what's wrong with that?

Well then you should have specified.....we thought you literally meant a midfield four of Kazim, Rochina, Formica and Olsson.....which is madness.

[iBL4cKBuRn]

No just think they should all be thought about more, we need much more pace in this side.

[bypass06]

ERIC BLACK.....But when asked if there had been any influence from upstairs, Kean's former assistant said: "There was none whatsoever from the owners.

"I named the team last night with the help of the coaches."

On the evidence of yet another woeful display we are clearly in need of a manager who can get a bunch of individuals to actually play as a team. I suspect any new manager is going to want money to replace some of the players that have been signed over the past 22 months. At the moment there is no pace anywhere in the team. The midfield is simply dreadful while a new right-back is urgently required. Nuno Gomes is, at times, simply on a different wavelength to many of the plodders around him while Rhodes obviously needs service as he lacks the pace to be a threat on his own. Today, Robinson gained us a point as Charlton were the far better side once they had equalised. It shows just how poor this division is that we can still be within a point of top when we are playing so poorly. I thought today was another very disappointing performance.

[Kei]

A Bullshyter and a fool.

Yeah, can people stop quoting this cretin. I have him on ignore but he posts utter cr@p every 2 seconds so it's impossible not to see his username.

[dwayne cage]

Wow some massively harsh posts coming out tonight. Guys got to have an opinion. Play nice.

[tommm]

The best moment of today was Robinson coming over and applauding the fans after the game as if we'd won. He's definitely on our side!

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Poor squad? Poor team selections maybe, we have, in my opinion, arguably the strongest squad in the division.

Robinson, Dann, Givet, Martin Olsson, Pedersen, Etuhu, Murphy, Kazim, Dunn, Rhodes, Gomes, Best, Formica, Vukcevic and Rochina would all get into most Championship starting XI's. Whether they're used properly is a different question entirely, but I maintain that, man for man, we have a very decent squad for this level.

[malk]

How many players in this division are better than:

Robinson in goal?

Givet at centre back?

Olsson at left back?

Etuhu or Murphy in centre midfield?

Kazim-Richards on the wing?

Rhodes, Gomes, Best up front?

And I don't mean list individuals from across the championship who individually might be better than any given player I listed but instead are those not in the top five to ten in their position each?

Then we've got players like Formica, Vukcevic, Rochina, Dunn who can give a creative spark at Championship level and the likes of; Ribeiro, Hanley Henley, Orr and Pedersen are solid at Championship level.

Of course our fans have always had their scapegoats and players that must be the worst in the division (the stick Wilcox used to get for example) but people saying we have a weak squad are, frankly, being ridiculous.

[RevidgeBlue]

With reference to midfield I think our main problem this season is that Murphy has been so downright poor.

I think Etuhu has looked extremely impressive by and large, but as good as he's been, Murphy has been even worse.

Surprising because Fulham fans seem to rate him very highly.

Get some sort of tune out of Murphy and we'd look a lot better.

In the wider positions Pedersen has been pretty awful so no change or surprise there but Nunes has started to look quite promising.

On the right hand side, CKR has looked OK and Vukcevic could be drafted in. We also have a multitude of players you would have thought could play more centrally just behind Rhodes. Gomes, Rochina, Formica, Dunn etc etc. Don't know anything about Rosado.

So get some half decent performances out of Murphy and a bit of imagination and I can't see any reason at all why we wouldn't be o.k.

[iBL4cKBuRn]

Wow some massively harsh posts coming out tonight. Guys got to have an opinion. Play nice.

Haha it's fine mate, only an internet site, no harm done.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Is it worth someone doing any player ratings or will it probably be mostly 6's with a couple of 7's?

Or maybe someone could talk about our fans and the atmosphere?

[iBL4cKBuRn]

Wasn't at the game but heard it was a little subdued atmosphere.
