[Archived] Friendly Against Wigan 01/08/15

[Mike E]

All their subs out warming up. 3 of ours playing one touch one bounce...

[RevidgeBlue]

Does Hanley ever listen to Duffy?

Or anyone for that matter?

It looked pretty obvious last season that Hanley and Duffy really really don't get on.

Seems as though we need Kilgallon plus one of the other two . I'd prefer a fit in form Hanley.

[G Somerset Rover]

Not much in the game. Rovers formation shape better than last season. Deffo playing 4-2-3-1 formation tho

How's it looking better if we've been absolutely clueless so far?

[roverandout]

Because we are in chaddy world where @#/? smells like roses and waterfalls are made of chocolate

Duffy a proud Irishman Hanley a proud Scotsman, might account for why they don't get on, shouldn't matter when they step on the pitch though.

Not conceeded against former FA cup winners?

There's more chance of John Williams returning.

On another note, hearing 1 up front makes me fear for this season. It means it's going to be even more negative, if that was even possible! One can only hope that it's trail run of a system, but I very much doubt it.

[perthblue02]

No subs at half time for Rovers

?

Or that they've both got two legs!

[Stuart]

Why is Bighead starting in place of Captain Kilgallon?

People keep saying Bowyer is learning.

[perthblue02]

Conway hit post

No subs at half time for Rovers

it's not the 62nd minute yet

[mustard]

Conway has a shot deflected onto the bar. Wigan fire one over and are back controlling play. We just keep hoofing it back to them.

Well Hanley was with rangers as youngster and I think he supported them as a kid, Celtic obviously got a big Irish fan base and connection. I may have thought about this a bit too much! Haha they don't like each other, end of that.

So they are still you lumping it long ball from defence? is anyone getting on the end of much.

Not for the most part, however Rhodes just got on the end of a hoof, slipped in Delfouneso who should have shot and scored, but he played it back to Rhodes on his left who shoots and keeper saves.

Because we were erm ...super clueless last season ..?

[joey_big_nose]

Sounds depressing

[mustard]

Haha absolutely spot on. 62nd minute subs.

[perthblue02]

it's not the 62nd minute yet

correct 62 mins double change Willem Tomlinson on for Danny Guthrie and Fode Koita on for Jordan Rhodes

[RevidgeBlue]

Should have snapped Mark Waburton and his team up the second it was announced he would be leaving Brentford. Ah well.

correct 62 mins double change Willem Tomlinson on for Danny Guthrie and Fode Koita on for Jordan Rhodes

I'm interested in Tomlinson's progress judging by the pre season reports.

[The Rover of Finland]

Guthrie subbed quite soon.

[Stuart]

Haha absolutely spot on. 62nd minute subs.

Must be a contractual thing. Any player playing more than half an hour qualifies for an appearance bonus?

[perthblue02]

Tomlinson 1-0

[chaddyrovers]

Tomlinson scores for Rovers
