[Archived] Rovers Vs Mansfield Efl Cup

[McClarky]

Glad to see we're playing 4-4-2 and playing our strongest team. Might still get humped but at least for once the manager has realised how important it is to try and get some early season momentum.

[Gav]

He's an MP. He's unlikely to want to upset voters.

Graham brought our plight up in parliament a few years ago, did a fantastic speech on the club, Venkys and fit and proper persons, nothing but respect for the guy for that Al.

Lovely night in Mansfield. Rovers starting 11 are doing a high intensity two touch warm up right in front of me. Haven't seen that before. There seems to be a much more professional approach under this regime.

Maybe someone cracked a whip at them

[Ribble Rover]

Marshall should be right back with Feeney on the wing.

Yes, I think this would be most effective in this league. Its all about partnerships all over the pitch....I think you've hit on something here....get on't phone to coyley lad

Here are this evening's two teams: https://t.co/zvACXa3XvcTeam is

Steele Lowe Duffy Greer Hendrie Marshall Lenihan Byrne Conway Stokes Graham

I would've said that was our strongest eleven before Norwich. However, after Feeney's good game I'd have started him in Conway's place.

That being said, mustn't grumble. That team should (emphasis on SHOULD) beat Mansfield with relative ease.

Don't let the warm up fool you, it's once the whistle goes that counts.

Mansfield have Shearer in goal, bet he still scores a hatrick against our lot.

[Mike E]

Nurse! Preston blue's out of bed again!

Early let off for rovers

[Gav]

Mansfield just missed a 1 on 1, Duffy mistake...

[Gav]

Fulham 11 changes

Wednesday 10 changes

Forest 9 changes.

Shows just what we're up against this season with a threadbare squad.

If Rovers made 11 changes, I would get a game...

EITHER the folks who are tweeting from Field Mill are masochists

OR we are getting a hiding without actually letting one in.

Sound ropey. No shock.

No. Too expensive. I did have two pre-train free drink vouchers for the Ibis at Euston though. 🍻
