[Archived] Rovers v Millwall: Ewood Park - December 14th, KO - 3pm

[Jimmy612]

See this DJ stuff even has you questioning that now. I mean it was without question the most retarded game plan I've ever seen a manager deploy. Did he have a tenner on a millwall win??

More likely a tenner on Danny Shittu breaking the world record for most headers in 90 minutes of play. It was absolutely incredible. I blame Dann and Hanley in part too. Surely they wouldn't have got a bollocking for playing a pass to feet once or twice. Confidence must have been in shreds at the time!

And he didn't change tactics throughout the whole game, we just kept lumping it into Shittu. It was very odd.

[rog of the rovers]

Personally, I thought Millwall were the best team that came to Ewood last year (in the league).

The 0-2 defeat hardly told the story, they were brilliant with the ball, worked tirelessly of it and scored 4 or 5 that day IIRC, 2/3 being ruled off for offside.

That said, a year is a long time in football, particularly at this level.

Rovers 0-2 Millwall - 24/11/12

Rovers - Managed by Berg

Robinson, Henley, Dann, Hanley, Mn Olsson, Formica (Gomes), Murphy (Vukcevic), Etuhu, Ms Olsson (King), Rochina, Rhodes

Millwall - Managed by Jackett

Forde, Shittu, Lowry, Beevers, Smith, Wright, Henry, Abdou, C Taylor (Malone), Keogh, Wood

Bold - Started/Sub appearance last Saturday.

Bowyer HAS to drop one of Lowe or Williamson for me, we need to win this, we need to attack more, I'd then like to see Rochina, Dunn or King come in, Taylor must start and I think he could be the key, Marshall apparently did well v QPR and Cairney must play in central midfield.

I would be tempted to go with Rochina for something a bit different, and would drop Lowe as I prefer Williamson. Henley must start too.

Eastwood

Henley Dann Hanley Spurr

Williamson Cairney

Marshall Rochina Taylor

Rhodes

Subs: Dunn, King, Best, Kean, Judge, Kilgallon, Lowe.

Well it's likely to be an even smaller crowd, dark, freezing and probably wet with an atmosphere to match but quite amazingly i'm looking forward to it for some reason. Can't blame it on xmas spirit because i hate it so it must be the thought of post match drinks, the first in ages. However i'll not predict a win as it always goes pear shaped when i do. So to compound the miserable scenario i've described i'll go for 0-0 seeing as we are working on being clean sheet specialists first and foremost at the min.

0-0 12,230 (400 bushwakers)

Nice try but it won't happen. 'Lowey' is the first name on the teamsheet under Bowyer. I agree that one of them needs to make way for Cairney but unless the manager's forced to make a change, I can't see them budging.

I'd play Dunn ahead of Rochina, with Ruben to replace him after the hour mark, depending on how the game's going.

[SoldierMo]

I remember in each game taylor was a right pest hope hes the same for us

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

[Bucksrover]

With DJ and Best on their way out I would imagine gestede will feature. We are still looking for the system that gets the best out of our best players.

Hoping not to see lowe and williams in the first 11. Hope to never see best and dj again

I did graduate to the Riverside years ago, but then I regressed to the Blackburn End. Back..... where I started. Downhill ever since.

I would go with this line-up :-

Eastwood

Henley Dann Hanley Spurr

Lowe Cairney

King Taylor Marshall

Rhodes

Although I expect to see Williams on the team sheet.

I would certainly hope to see Williamson on the team sheet after his superb performance at Loftus Road last week.

[FGS5635]

I'd maybe leave king out and get rochina some game time in this one also.

Williamson next to Lowe and Cairney on the right for me.

Well not for me but I'm guessing that's what the uber defensive Bowyer will do....at home....against Millwall :/

Apparently Williamson had a great game at QPR so should start, let's hope Lowe picks up a niggle and can't,

we need a positive home performance with Cairney in the centre.

Will the crowd be in full support of DJ and can Eastwood keep another clean sheet.

DJ will never know as he's off on a nice jolly for a few weeks/months.

Yes he'll have plenty of time to have few more tattoos done, think he might go for full coverage ?

Still if he IS found guilty, he will have plenty to read in t'nick.
