Colt Seavers Posted September 3, 2024 Posted September 3, 2024 Just got back from this. Very little to write home about. No standout performers on the night and absolutely no sign of the next big thing unfortunately. Quote
arbitro Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 A watchable game at Leyland last night. A hard working Colchester side pretty much stopped Rovers from playing their passing game but Rovers were a threat getting in behind as both full backs were bombing on. Barrett saved a penalty and made some good saves and Powell looked decent again but on the night it was more a case of grafting and matching Colchester's energy. Sometimes it's substance over style and this game was one of them. 2 Quote
rigger Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 I was told this morning that Powell looked decent. Quote

SpaceBarSlam Posted September 5, 2024 Posted September 5, 2024 Does anyone know if there'll be tickets available for the PL Cup matches played at Stanley? I've had a look on both the Rovers and Stanley website and can't see anything. Quote

I've had a look on both the Rovers and Stanley website and can't see anything. There hasn't been an announcement yet which is par for the course. Last season I think they sold bundles of three for the International Cup games so I would expect something similar again. Hopefully we'll find out today or tomorrow. 1 Quote

The confirmation that the games would be at Stanley included the infamous line ‘ticketing information for the fixtures will be released in due course’ 3 Quote

And so he is! I think they have different shaped heads than other players! Edited September 7, 2024 by Forever Blue 1 Quote

Barrow also picked up Tom White after Rovers released him a few years ago https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2019/november/white-makes-barrow-switch/ Seems to be working for them, most successful period in their history isn't it? No clue how much Barrow use data in recruitment, but to be honest, it seems a very sensible strategy for localish lower league teams to pick up our cast offs, just as Rovers pick up academy cast offs from Man Utd, Everton,, Man City, Liverpool etc. I would have thought Accrington should have been at it for years (including being after loans from Rovers too) Edited September 7, 2024 by KentExile 2 Quote
