[Archived] Rovers v some other team: 14th September 2013

[DE.]

Have to consider this a decent result all things considered. A poor performance overall but scraped a point (though admittedly Burnley basically gifted it to us).

[Joar]

Anyone care to explain the lifesavers? Not I front of the tv

Judge throwing his head and body in to stop Burlney players getting to the ball in the box, then cleared it. Didn't block a shot or anything, but the ball was heading towards Burley players inside 10 yards. He pretty much ran across the box to stop a chance

[RibbleValleyRover]

Happy with the point, no way near happy with the performance. Hit and hope dire hoofball.

The dingles have a problem when they play us, they are playing 34 years as well and can't seem to get over it!

happy days

[Tyke87]

who'd have thought the guy who was sent off after coming on 2 minutes earlier would be the hero, absolutely saved us.

[Kei]

Once again Burnley just cannot kill us off.

[moerpho]

MotM for Rovers - Williamson. Otherwise just happy we kept the record going and an ok 2nd half. Too bad we concede again but was a great finish by Stanislas. Also good to see us come from behind and nick an albeit comical goal gifted by Bumley. Bring on Leicester on tuesday! COYB!

Overall think a decent performance all things considered

[jim mk2]

Kane should get a bollocking from Bowyer for the foul-up that led to Williamson's sending off.

Point not entirely deserved but we'll take it.

[G Somerset Rover]

Williamson pulled a Suarez there. Good fella.

My point pre-game about needing a new number ten without Dunn and Rochina rang true IMO. Cairney had a good game but he still left Rhodes too isolated and we didn't look half the team without Dunn pulling the strings there. Hopefully we can get that young Utd lad, or similiar, in on loan.

How terrible was Marshall?

Edit - that Januzaj is playing for Utd today. Next.

[SoldierMo]

Another point to note Burnley dint really have many chances all credit to the defending

[booth]

Just shows how far Venkys have taken us apart.

Struggling against a bargain basement team and manager.

[doctorryan]

Thank God!!!

Jesus, Lowe was awful.

........And when are we going to see that "Beware the off-ides of March" shirt on the site's shop?

Thought Kane was sloppy all game.

[Uxbridge rover]

I don't think I've laughed out loud as much as I did when our goal went in. Really enjoyed the game although it was a poor performance from us. Williamson, legend of 13 !!!

This was definitely the most glaring issue with our play. A lot of industry but zero creativity. King can zip all over the pitch but doesn't really have much intelligence so tends to drift into useless situations and lose the ball. He needs somebody like a Dunn or Rochina to slip him in behind defences. Cairney's a good player but again, despite possessing undoubted quality it's much more industry than creativity.

Thought Kane was sloppy all game.

Two minutes before the sending-off he mucked up a backpass to Kean. He needs to concentrate better and have fewer touches. .

[yoda]

record still in place, more good things to come from GB and the team in the future,

Its looking promising

[jim mk2]

On that showing we won't get anywhere near promotion. We're too young and inexperienced.

[davulsukur]

Cheers for the explanations.

Willo's experience coming to the rescue.

Feel for the lad though, first appearance for the season and now misses the next 3.

Hat goes off to him though.

[Mattie456]

Williamson took a red , he hates Burnley!!

[SoldierMo]

Tink the young squad will take alot moreee from this

[Tom]

Burnley fans must feel like they will never do it

We had an unreal amount of corners today and didnt take our chances

Another day we win that comfy, but on a different day we lose so overall a point isn't drastic

[doctorryan]

Williamson took a red , he hates Burnley!!

There's another T-shirt idea.

[booth]

There's no way we are getting anywhere near promotion. Very easy to get carried away with keeping the record over burnley, but this season, no. Not unless we manage to get a decent loanee to fill in for Dunn/Rochina in which case we may sneak the play offs.
