[Archived] Rovers V Norwich City

[LewisF]

Looks as if Marshall will be playing no 10 role, behind Graham. Henley? Lowe as captain? Really?

[Tom]

Henley before Hendrie says a lot and no place for Stokes and Byrne

[Cherry Blue]

What time is the game?

3pm

[DE.]

Marshall starts. Mercer's carried on where he left off with his predictions!

#rovers team: Steele, Lowe ©, Duffy, Ward, Henley, Lenihan, Akpan, Feeney, Marshall, Bennett, Graham.

#rovers subs: Raya, Greer, Byrne, Stokes, Hendrie, Guthrie, Conway.

We desperately need a new LB. CM is appalling too.

Massively weak at both full back positions and centre midfield. Conway should be in that team somewhere.

[Paul]

Rovers 2 Norwich 1

M6 northbound J27-28 90 minute delay. That's fact not prediction.

[The Rover of Finland]

Byrne came here for promotion push. So what's the point actually feature as promotion is off the table before ball is kicked.

[LewisF]

Conway instead of Feeney, Feeney just has pace from what I've seen.

[skous18]

I would ve go for

Steele

Lowe Duffy Greer Hendrie

Marshall Lenihan Guthrie Conway

Byrne

Graham

anyway, its gonna be a long season and i cant see past a lost today for us but lets see

[DE.]

Conway instead of Feeney, Feeney just has pace from what I've seen.

Yeah I'd go with that. Maybe Feeney's in there to save Coyle from the embarrassment of having none of his new signings in the starting eleven. Good luck using the team Bowyer and Lambert built, Owen.

[LDRover]

So, just 2 of the marquee summer signings in the line up. One has to wonder...

[chaddyrovers]

Very pleased with starting 11

If anyone knows where I can stream the match could you pm me please. I am over-seas.

You've gotta watch out for hooligan!

Are you @#/? joking. What idiot wouldn't know that the black cloud is named Venky's?

Ouch - Feeney a starter for Rovers? Marshall has never done well in the hole - Bowyer had to abandon that experiment - Henley at left back when he's not convincing at right is also a big worry.

Also wonder what the point of Byrne and Hendrie is if they can't force their way into this squad.

Very pleased with starting 11

Why? I'd love to know your reasoning for that? Because from past performance of Marshall in the hole, Feeney when playing for us, and Henley in his natural position (let alone on the wrong side) doesn't inspire confidence. So what makes you pleased with this? Genuine question, as other than could be worse, I'm not sure what there's to be happy about.

Cheers, 4pm my time

Thought exactly the same. Just say "Sorry Jeff but I don't know anything about Blackburn, ask someone else." The Penus.

[Hi Mack]

Very pleased with starting 11

Honestly......Can't remember a worse Rovers starting XI

Feeney Henley and Akpan are all out of their depth. Conway has to start.

Coyles 3 signings are all on the bench. Thats not a good sign.

[Ricky]

Very pleased with starting 11

Now there's a surprise.

[LDRover]

Now there's a surprise.

Well I'm glad you said it!!

[Rover_Shaun]

Mercer's first prediction goes awry. Chaddy is happy whilst hurtling into the abyss. It can only be the dawn of a new season.

[A cup of beans]

Very pleased with starting 11

Amazed. You'd probably prefer the starting 11 over the 1995 Rovers team.

Anyone who even accepts the dross in that team, has lost perspective.

[Mike E]

Certainly not our strongest 11, even accounting for the dross in our squad.

[Bucksrover]

Putting it in perspective - Given the squad we have, it's a decent selection.
