[Archived] Rovers U21's

[Ben-2000]

Hopefully another 10k at Ewood affair

It's not the Youth cup this time, so just the one leg at their place (should we be beat Bury, the date of which is still TBC).

Don't think it'd reach that kind of attendance this time with the regular 1st team games now - but should still be a decent showing and i'd certainly go along!

with it being a reserve fixture it may well be played in the afternoon behind closed doors. The Rovers played their first round tie against Rochdale at Brockhall in the afternoon, although fans were allowed to attend.

Burnley usually play theirs at Turf Moor, hopefully that would still be the case.

[Ben-2000]

The Bury game has been arranged for 2nd April...

Thought Burnley played theirs at Accringtons ground?

Their previous Lancs Cup games this season have been at Turf Moor, not sure about their standard reserve games.

Tim Payne played 90 mins and had an assist in New Zealand's 4-2 defeat against Japan,

[Tom]

U21 v Liverpool tonight on Liverpool TV on sky which is free to air I think

[SoldierMo]

Etuhu enjoying himself on 35k a week...Dervon green and king on the wings look good full of pace

[chaddyrovers]

IMO, Rovers are playing some good passing football.

players who have impress so far imo is King, Green,.Rittenberg and Payne.

Rovers should 3 or 4 nil up.

also playing 4-5-1 aswell

[Tom]

Wasn't it Devarn Green that's meant to be faster than Walcott?

[SoldierMo]

Yep hes the one

[Tom]

Etuhu could still be of use if he was fit and motivated alongside Evans

[savage90]

Goulon used to impress at this level.

[bazza]

Oh yes, Goulon!

Wish we had him now

[Tom]

Caught some of the second half and Green looks comfy on the ball and Raya and Tumwa look like good prospects (from that brief glimpse)

[SoldierMo]

Fernandez being released?

[tomphil]

Only watched 1st half but King looked fine. Surely enough to be on bench for first team. Is this another financial thing I wonder.

Said the same to my mate on Wednesday night.

It does make you wonder if bonuses or clauses are being avoided. There have been too many players 'injured' or who are rumoured to be 'bad eggs' as excuses not to play - only a couple of whom have taken to Twitter in frustration.

Roberts, Salgado, Formica, Vukcevic, Nelsen, Olsson, Etuhu, Best, Dann - although we all knew Dann was off.

Don't think so. They rushed him back at Christmas and looked what happened. Look how long it took them to get Evans back to first team football.

But you could be right. Nothing surprises at this club.

[unleaded]

Very impresive first half ... Hit the woodwork 3 times

This Aussie kid Tanner looks the Real Deal..... Such quick feet and seems to have a lot of time on the ball......

[Ricky]

Surprised Payne hasn't kicked on. Looked a decent player and was involved in the Olympics 2 years ago but really hasn't pushed on as expected.
