[Archived] Bolton vs Rovers

[Blue n White Rover]

I think it was slightly harsh taking Bentley off at HT. There were certainly more who deserved to get the chop before he did. However, I'm sure I read somewhere Bentley was struggling with a cold/virus of some sort and that may have been the reason why he was replaced at HT.

I would start Bentley on the right, Lowe and Jones in the middle with either Olsson or Stewart on the left.

Murphy and Orr should not be anywhere near the starting 11.

[Tom]

Bentley was ill wasn't he?

No problem with DJ playing he was one of the more lively players last week and Rekik wasn't as bad as many others

If Orr and Murphy are out I'd be happy with whatever else

Being a Rovers fan though I have a horrible feeling they will play

[Scutdog]

If anyone is coming on their own or needs a spare ticket for tonight then pm me as I have a spare and you can have it for a tenner.

Save everyone good for Millwall. Forget this game. Play Murphy and....well I can't really think of anyone else as awful as Murphy.

Sorry - we need Murphy for Millwall as Jones is cup tied.

[AggyBlue]

Forget this game.

This game is very important, we need to see a reaction to Saturday

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Will the public slating of the team have the required effect or will our little darlings take their bats and balls home?.....

or will our little darlings take their bats and balls home?.....

They already did that last Saturday at precisely 3.00PM.

[MrT]

Quick brew then off to the breezeblock, it's gunna be a toughie.

2-0 Bolton I fear. This is the game that even our most delusional supporters who still think we have a chance of promotion finally realise ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN. I do expect a slightly better performance from sat though.

[Steve Moss]

We can get something from this match. Any team can beat any other team on any given day (case in point the recent Arsenal result). Appleton is being proactive (it seems) so the team we put out the last few weeks won't be the team we play against Bolton.

We just need to keep the faith. And besides, we're due a good result.

I don't know what a tub thumper is...

Someone who tubthumps...obviously.

[onlyoneDuff]

In that same article MA defends Orr and talks about what a good lad he is....doubt he'll be out for long

[Davenport Nice]

Yep.

Why won't they open the upper tier? We do it. No point going if you don't know if you can get a ticket. Joke.

[Tom]

From what he's saying it almost sounds like Orr will play

[rovers11]

I would imagine Murphy and Orr will definitely be dropped tonight. Other players whose place is under threat are: Rekik, Bentley, Olsson and Campbell. I suspect Rekik and Campbell will play though.

Apart from the fact you've had three weeks to get a ticket?

Didn't like those comments at all. I know he's hardly going to come out and have a pop at Orr, but it's almost as if Appleton is saying "well he's said sorry on Twitter, so don't worry about the shocking performance or for telling the Rovers fans to @#/? off". He better be dropped tonight.

[Amo]

He doesn't mention fining Orr for those comments on Twitter. What happened to that?

[Davenport Nice]

Apart from the fact you've had three weeks to get a ticket?

...and how would you know that I've had three weeks to get a ticket?

[cn174]

...and how would you know that I've had three weeks to get a ticket?

That is how long they've been on sale for is all.

[TurkishDelightFan]

Is this game on TV?

[Tom]

No and nobody ask for streams

[cn174]

Is this game on TV?

No. Unless itv have decided to ditch man u vs real madrid for a proper game
