[Archived] Rovers v Brighton: 21st March at 3pm

[tomphil]

I'd love to see some youngsters in the team for today.

I think GB already knows his team for the cup tie and he will want to keep them fresh and free from injury.

Have we any young strikers? What's Rittenberg like?

Time to experiment Gary.

However, whatever you do will be moaned about.

I've not seen anything to suggest Rittenberg should be anywhere near the first team but I'd definitely give Mahonney and/or O'Sullivan some game time this season. Let's see what they can do and add a bit of interest to the remaining games. Oh and try and play some bloody football !

Brighton, good midfielder, crap away record =

Rovers 1 Brighton 2

12,351 (yeah right)

A scratchy 2-1 win prompting play off talk on Radio Rovers and in the LT.

Brentford losing 1-0 as I type. Need to check the Wembley seating plan ;-)

No surprise but still Brown starting makes me so in unexcited about this game

[Amo]

Brown is the future.

Why not play some youngsters, don't get it, other than he's playing for the Loons? No expectations after Tuesday, a win would be pleasant.

Millwall 2-0 up

Brighton are crap. Our players have nothing to play for (I assume the Liverpool home game is a shoe-in team no matter what happens in the next 2 games) - so zero pressure.

Easy yet uninspiring home win. 3-1. Place your bets now. It's a licence to print money.

I understand If we fans have almost given up but i dont think the players have, as a player you should go for it until its set in stone that its over.

Lucky if there's 10,000 on

[yoda's brother]

Millwall 2-0 up

2-2

[Tom]

Barely got out of our half yet

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Brighton hit post

Wow this is turgid-like a pre-season friendly without the intensity.

[Tom]

They hit the post this is shocking

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I'm not sure Spearing has found one of ours yet, his passing been atrocious- not as if the strip Brighton are wearing isn't bright enough, sort of high-viz orange.

[mattjansen]

We are useless according to radio rovers

[Tom]

Brown and Spearing disgustingly bad

[Husky]

Brighton hit post

Wow this is turgid-like a pre-season friendly without the intensity.

I'm kind of wishing I'd not have stayed home in preparation to watch the Rugby.

Still it's early days yet. Keep the faith.........meanwhile do a bit of clapping.

[Tom]

Everyone as bad as the previously mentioned two

[Robin]

Goal for Brighton.....

[Tom]

Well deserved

[Robin]

FFS......i am so tired of this....

[DE.]

Can't wait for more of this next season...

[Proudtobeblue&white]

We have been shocking, how Steele didn't save that I'll never know, this really is as bad as anything I've seen under GB.
