[Archived] Rovers V Derby County (Away) - 24Th February 2016 - 7.45 Ko

[Husky]

Benidorm is on ITV4 at 9pm. A perfect evening - this MB and a bit of comedy thrown in. I hear Chris Brown has been approached about joining the cast for the next series.

I'm a bit late as stayed in to listen to the first half. Off out now.....(I've already said I'm on the way).

Enjoy Benidorm guys

High Tension ?

half time

[Tom]

People at the game saying we are playing really well but the goal was a really sloppy one to give away

Shame we have to make things so hard for ourselves sometimes

[mckenny16]

Jolly, no. Optimistic, thats something to hope for. But out and out pesemissism is not needed.

Many people here are pessimistic and calling it realistic.

They've had one shot on target, which also happened to be a goal.

5 shots each, 1 on target each

pity ours didn't go in

Ah well another 45 mins to correct that.

I just read on BBC Sport that Van Gaal has told his Manure players to "get horny"!!

Can you imagine that with Rovers......Duffy will be mounting every Derby forward from behind.

Thanks for that what a horrible image. Especially with thug face Rooney (unfortunately we already know of some of his previous "horny" activities) and retard face Jones. Maybe that's Van Gaal getting revenge on media and fans putting horrible images in people's heads.

Rovers Player don't think its been a bad display either.

[LewisF]

I've said it before and seen other say it too, but we really need to start having more shots from outside the area.

[DE.]

We did well against Hull in the first half, too, and that was 0-0 at HT. Let's see if we can produce something a little better this time. We're going to have to if we're to walk away with any points tonight.

k

But most people believe we will get beat rather than win. That IS realistic. The stats for this season back it up and, aside from against Fulham, not much we have witnessed in the last 10 games suggests otherwise.

What isn't realistic is saying that we are gonna win this and were gonna score so many. That's being deluded based on what we regularly witness.

I hope I'm proved wrong, that we suddenly turn a corner and we have a cause for optimism. Many of us aren't seeing the signs of this yet tho.

[West Yorks Rover]

Fairly even game according to the radio, Steele not much to do, no reason why we shouldn't be able to get back into it.

Lambert needs a good HT team talk.

Someone asked earlier how Matt Grimes had performed in the first half... can anyone give us a quick review? Cheers.

Workrate was noted as being good. Rovers Player think Graham has been best performer so far.

Lawro on Sunday's commentary said he was the best header of a ball he had seen at championship level.

He even repeated it twice for emphasis.

I couldn't believe what i was hearing.

Maybe the best in this league at getting his head to the ball, after that it's all downhill.

[VinjayV4]

Brown gone down the tunnel...probably for a shirt. (yes shirt lol)

He's just marking his territory Tom, watch his next fly in t'corner.

think you mean for a pie

[Tom]

He is really good at heading the ball just not in any particular direction

Could have been 2-0 good save by Steele by all accounts

[chaddyrovers]

Steele makes a very good save from Chris Martin

61mins: Lenihan with a defence-splitting pass to Graham who fires a first-time shot across the keeper, but Carson gets down well to save 1-0

[Darwen Rover 007]

Doesn't sound too promising from the commentary on sky sports app (although that's not saying much)

[LewisF]

A point would be fantastic but you can sense the sucker punch after all our decent spells.
