[Archived] Rovers V Chelsea (Youth Cup Semi Final)

[JAL]

Can't exactly say I'm an expert on the current youth setup who are the ones to look out for?

Fisher in goal

Ryan Nyambe at right back

Scot Warton centre half and his partner who's name escapes me.

In midfield central there's four to chose from in Hardcastle, Tomlinson, Rankin- Costello and Stefano Mols. Only three of these may play.

Wide right there's Tre Pemberton a small but quick and skillful player

Up front Mansell

Hopefully someone can fill in the rest.

Not a bad player from all accounts but has been shaping a bit wooden of late.

Leaf him alone!

Barking up the wrong Tree surely?

[Amo]

Looks like he's carrying a bit of timber.

More deadwood ? Or a potential mighty Oak ?

Oops! good spot! On current form then we can't expect him to pull up any trees.

[Mike Graham]

Just seen it is live on ITV4 tonight.

The missus will not be pleased

[chaddyrovers]

ROVERS: Fisher, Nyambe, Platt, Wharton ©, Askew, Hardcastle, Grayson, Tomlinson, Rankin-Costello, Mansell, Howarth.

[Mike Graham]

They should be playing that team at Brentford tomorrow Chaddy. I hope we have a decent turn out.

Hopefully Tree Pemberton will flower tonight.

[chaddyrovers]

Looking forward to seeing Mansell, Hardcastle, Tomlinson, Wharton and Rankin-Costello.

Hoping we get more than 1k on tonight.

Oh that's Pemberton! I always got him mixed up with Anton Forrester!

You can't see the wood for the trees

I think you're barking up the wrong tree pal.

If he's any good he'll be leaveing the club soon.

Rovers doing all the running. Chelsea waiting to hit us on the break.

9 Rovers fans sat in the Riverside. Nice to se it full for a change.

They scored: Cream crackers.

[AdamRochina]

1-0 Chelsea.. They look a class apart fair play to them... The set up there looks class.. Our lads can't get a foothold of the game

Was going to say the same. Best chance was a 0-0.

Keeper slightly at fault for the goal?

[Mike Graham]

We send £2M per year on our Academy.

I wonder what Chelsea, Utd, City, LiverPoo etc spend?

[chor808]

If venkys don't spend big this summer this could be the typical crowd next year.

Chelsea look very good but plenty of effort from the the rovers lads.

[A cup of beans]

Immensely proud.

Putting a real shift in, against the cream of the crop at this level.

Hardcastle will make a player.
