philipl Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Just hope Mowbray doesn't experiment especially as we will be without Mulgrew. 4-4-2 and stop messing about please.

AllRoverAsia Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I said that we should have played Fleetwood as practice for being without Mulgrew. What about Evans? I do hope our new keeper, the one on whose international status we got the Fleetwood postponement, is ok too.

I don't know wether we did or not.
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Again we have to be looking for nothing less than three points even with injuries. Rochdale are ruddy awful by all accounts and Rovers should have a very good following there roaring them on. 0-2
Manchester Blue Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Looking forward to this one with a decent away following should make for a decent atmosphere. Rochdale will be up for it of course but clearly will be under pressure due to ropey start so an early goal would make a huge difference, feel like say that every week!! Henderson being out is a bonus for us, that Callum Camps seems to have disappeared too not sure if he's injured. They seem to have struggled with not being able to replace a couple of decent players who left in the summer so far but have got a few in on loan. Would be surprised to see Mowbray make too many changes unless forced to and hopefully stick with the 4-4-2 which worked well last time out.

They sold Jamie Allen to Burton Albion last week and Matty Lund went there at the end of last season. All three decent young midfield players.
Neal Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Thinking of attending, can anyone clarify if those @#/?s get anything from my ticket money?

They do seem to have gone away from how they were playing last season which was quite flowing from the clips I'd seen on 5. They've brought a few in on loan maybe to compensate, hopefully we are playing them at a good time before they can bed in.
FGS5635 Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I think when confidence is low the 1st goal is always huge. If we get it I expect us to win easily. If they get it then I do worry we will lose our way and struggle

FGS5635 Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 It used to work with away teams buying the tickets from the home team, then selling them on to their fans. Its why they ware often low end with their ticket allocation as they didnt want to get left with un sold tickets and be out of pocket. So you buying a ticket porbably gives them nothing. But not bying a ticket could potentially leave them out of pocket

Manchester Blue Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Pretty sure Andy Holt on twitter confirmed in the league at least that the away team received no share of the ticket revenue.
G Somerset Rover Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Despite missing our talisman Mulgrew, and warrior Lenihan, I predict us to take this one at a canter. Mowbray will have them fired up after a frustrating couple of weeks on the training ground - they'll come out of the traps like greyhounds.There's nobody to fear in this league - they should all be fearing us! Rochdale 1 Rovers 4 Good times just round the corner.

JHRover Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Over 2,500 sold so far according to Rovers. A few days left yet so hopefully hit 3,000+. Think that stand holds 3,500 or just above so should be up to 1000 left available in total.

RV Blue Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 Who would you play in defence now? I think I would go with Caddis, Ward, Downing and Williams, with Wharton in for Downing if he's fit (I don't think he is). Pretty average League 1 backline imo, hopefully our above average attack will win the game for us.

We got an initial allocation of 3322.

If not, guess it has to be Downing. Dont want to disrupt the back more than it already will be with Mulgrew out.

When did he last actually kick a ball ?
