[Archived] Burnley v Rovers 2nd December 2012

[J*B]

Just listen to the dingle crowd, they're mocking us. They sound like they're expecting a goal soon.

[booth]

If we get out of this half without conceding we will be damn lucky.

... And Radio Lancs are chatting amongst themselves again.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Robbo is the only reason why we aren't 4 or 5 down by now. Got to get into HT without conceding and make changes.

[SamTheShrew]

Is radio lancs the same as 5live extra, with Gallacher?

It is quite difficult to visualise what is happening on 5livextra

[Ewoodbhappy]

Just need half time now to regroup.

[J*B]

Needed:

0-0 at half time.

Murphy off.

Regroup

Hold the ball

New radio lancs commentators.

[Amo]

Get Murphy off for Vukcevic.

yes

[moerpho]

I know Bumley are 6-fingred but are they also allowed to play with 12? Because it certainly sounds like it. Hope we don't concede before HT and Berg does something. Not a day for experementing!

[booth]

Well if anyone needed any reminding of how far the club has fallen since Venky's started their annihilation of the club, this is it. A half chance by Murphy and that's all we've had.

If we end this game with a point I will jump for joy.

On paper we should be at least holding our own and getting a few shots in.

[Dunnfc]

Bring on Simon. High tempo can't sustain forever, hopefully we can pick them off with defense splitting passes.

[Ewoodbhappy]

And a big sigh of relief!

It wasn't a season for experimenting.

I'm looking at you Shebby you tit.

[Andy]

Thank God we have Robbo.

And to think some wanted him dropped for this game...!

[Martin]

Listening to Radio Rovers and it doesn't sound great at all.

Wave after wave of Burnley surging forward. Robbo with a couple of good saves.

Play like this for the rest of game and we'll lose.

Surely we can't play this poorly in the second half. Berg has a big half time team-talk ahead of him.

[dr who true blue]

Well done robo and dann now is the time for berg to sort it out coyb.

[J*B]

[Dunnfc]

Out thought.

Out fight

Second best to every ball.

keaning change it berg or collect that p45. Should be pissing it over these.

[DE.]

We are dreadful, as expected. Our team are spineless, Robbo aside. Can't see much changing in the second half.

[RibbleValleyRover]

HT.

We are extremely lucky to not be out of this game at HT. Robbo outstanding but there needs to be changes at the half. Another 45 mins of this and we will eventually crack due to the pressure.

[philipl]

I will take another half like that one right now with a 0-0 FT.

Somehow, I don't think that option is on offer from the gods!

[MWGR2]

I am in China also but ended up paying for Rovers player! Don't have an iPhone, UK phone wouldn't work so got a crappy China phone!

Difficult. You should download a VPN as well. Best way to watch footy out here...and stay sane by bypassing the Great Firewall

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Dunn on for Formica, Vukcevic for Murphy.

Kazim goes on the right wing, Dunn off Rhodes, Vukcevic in the middle with Lowe.

Keep the ball on the floor and have Dunn and Vukcevic run at their players.

Tell the full backs to get forward more when possible......we need to start getting them on the back foot.

[Lurid Coat]

According to the Norwegian reporter doing live commentary from Turd Moor, we've been absolutely outplayed by Burnley. Just a question of time before they score, seemingly. Oh well, not that this wasn't expected

[dr who true blue]

Berg needs to give the half time teamtalk of his life,murphy off dunn on for me.
