[Archived] Brighton vs. ROVERS Match Thread

[Baz]

Full time

[DE.]

Decent result in the end, would have taken a draw at the start of the game.

[AggyBlue]

I'll take that even if we were cheated again

[Derbyshire Blue]

Good draw I'd say

[callumrovers]

Should of win, got cheated but i will take a draw.

[neophox]

A really big Point!

[perthblue02]

1-1 a good point, considering we were under the cosh most of game, bit disapointing the pen for the equaliser but would have taken a draw before game

[hesfromburn]

We deserved to win that, Brighton are a bunch of divers who can't put the ball in the back of the net!

Well done to our defence and kean!

[Ricky]

Gutted that we could have had 6 points from 2 games against them but have to settle for 2. I would have taken a draw before the game though so can't complain too much. Shame hull and boro won though, could have done without that.

[Tom]

Screwed by the officials and other results went against us but that is a very good point

2 goals conceded in 5 games, both penalties both contentious!

Keep it up rovers

[Steve Moss]

I would have been happy with a draw at the beginning. Now I can't help but feel cheated.

[harwood rover]

Excellent point. Resolute. Which we haven't been for a long, long time.

[BuckyRover]

Good result. But for TWO bad decisions from ref would have won

[neophox]

but wins for Boro and Hull, in their home games...Hull - Rovers game will be Another massive one.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Happy with that

[neophox]

Arsenal to frustrate next

Well we haven't conceded in 5 games from open play so the defence is tight, and hadn't it been for Goodwillie focked ut up and the referee being an arse when we got one penalty robbed and a very dubious decision against us.....

[Waggy76]

Excellent point. Resolute. Which we haven't been for a long, long time.

I agree , things looking up , might well be too late for this season but optimism is returning !

[adsfortheblues]

Good point, but offensively................

Do we even have any midfielders?

[G Somerset Rover]

Good point but can't help but feel cheated by the officials.

Only minor worry for me is as I said earlier, Appleton's hesitance to change things. He really doesn't trust anyone outside of the first 11 (and Williams of course). Venkys need to back him or we're playing with a squad of 12.

[neophox]

Also we have Anton Forrester

[Proudtobeblue&white]

We are where we are, Berg decision mad, but mad owners - MA, impressed so far

[neophox]

Interesting we have draw 9 times this season and has been in the lead in 8 of them...puh.

Our midfeld is our weak Point, Murphy had a good game but our defense is showing real stability , and we have good striker but we are screaming for a right winger.

[Guest Norbert]

Damn. Oh well at least this unbeaten run continues.

[Josh]

I like Appleton and he has clearly got us playing as a team, but I fear the lack of substitutions will cost us in the near future, especially considering the busy period we're in

[Mike E]

Reckon his lack of subs is more a sign of trust in the 11 on the pitch. If he feels his tactics are working and players are neither injured nor out of breath, he doesn't want to change that?
