[Archived] Manchester City v Rovers Third Round Replay

[bluebruce]

Eastwood beaten twice at his near post by Dzeko now.

[Amo]

Killgallon is absolute kean, been at fault for 3 goals, letting his man go and just ball watching, spurr having a go at him, he is awful.

Hasn't played for months and thrown to the lions against one of the hottest strike duos in Europe. Dann better be bloody well injured.

[Stuart]

Bloody hell Clint

May as well just stick a cardboard cut-out in goal.

[rovers11]

They are a very special team. Simple as that.

[JAL]

Everytime it goes near Eastwood it goes in

Rovers fans everywhere can only hope that hes off in the january transfer window along with one or two others.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

5-0 ....can we stop this now ref please.

[Gav]

Embarrassing.

Get a grip man

[G Somerset Rover]

Robbo has a calf or hamstring injury apparently. If it's a nasty one we need to get a GK in on loan. Simple as that if we want a sniff of the playoffs. Eastwood and Kean are not good enough.

[Tom]

Fans done us proud tonight

[cesus]

For all the battling by the midfield I'd have to say what a horrific defensive performance this has been. How many free headers have we give them, how many times have we let them get across the front of us to get to the ball. Yes this is city but my previous two highlighted points are the very foundation of defending! Eastwood has had 4 shots at him and all gone in, I'd question him for the 5th for sure!

[Stuart]

I feel sorry for those poor suckers the bookies reeled in with stupidly high odds for a Rovers result.

[had.e.nuff]

They are a very special team. Simple as that.

Just shows what a few hundred million can do.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Aside from the score line we have been admiral... Proud of the lads!

[booth]

If we do manage to perform a miracle and get up, this is a taste of things to come.

No excuse for basic defensive errors mate, he's awful, been a two bit player wherever he's been. Another Awful summer signing, along with marrow, judge, Eastwood and Campbell.

[supergrabbi01]

It's funny to think that only 10 or 15 years ago we were arguably the bigger club.

[bluebruce]

Well this settles the debate, without Rhodes we are definitely much more solid at the back and carry a serious goal threat when we get in the box. We need to make sure we don't start any players who have scored more than 2 goals.

[Gav]

Fans done us proud tonight

Absolutely

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Cardiff, the forfeit game, is this ours under GB?

Absolutely.

[hi-jaq]

Eastwood could have done better with every one of the 4 goals put passed him. Where is Jake Kean???

Defensively in the 2nd half we've been absolutely terrible, Robinson has them much more organised. The difference a good keeper brings to the defence as a whole is massive.

If ever there was proof needed that we have missed Robbo... there it is for all to see.

Midfield, second rate... Cairney has been the only bright spark.

Williamson and Lowe are nowhere near this standard... Miles and miles away.

I know a smashing was always on the cards, but we've capitulated in the second half, and that has been the disappointing part!!!

cost me a fiver

Though I blame maj for talking me into it

**shakes fist at maj**

[Proudtobeblue&white]

We have no goal scorer, other than JR, Gestede , god forbid any more

[Doug]

Williamson is very poor. Didn't want to post any negative views but couldn't stop myself. Spurr and Killy had poor games.

Really? You don't think a player's reactions will be less sharp when he hasn't played for months? Nevermind playing against a quality side like Man. City who will pounce on every error.
