[Archived] Scunthorpe United v ROVERS

[Preben]

[Tormund]

0-0 away against a fellow promotion rival. Not too bad so far.

[Preben]

Yes we are coping much better than earlier too

[AdamRochina]

Chapman  dack an Graham should definitely come on at some point .. like sone one said the balls just not sticking up top ..Our passing through the middle is poor right now ..so if we are gonna hoof it we need someone to actually keep the ball 

[punerover]

Results elsewhere for teams above us are in our favour at the moment. A win here would be huge. And hope that Bowyer and Blackpool play out a draw.

[Tom]

As it stands we'd be 9 points off the top - that's a lot this early.

Still feel a draw would be a decent result though

Really struggling to see what Antonsson brings to the team and gets picked ahead of others. Serious question as i know next to nowt about him, has he had an injury recently?  no pre-season ? or just lacks confidence?

[Preben]

As Mercer isn't here I suppose I'll have to do it ......

.....  nothing to worry about we'll murder 'em in the second half .......

[Fraserkirky]

Elliot Ward has been bailed out by Charlie and Caddis numerous times.

Hate these small pitches where they just lob in behind the full back then crowd you out, not unlike rugby. We have a couple of great chances though.

Who came third last year

Rode our luck at times and haven't really got going. Scunthorpe look terrible though, I don't think they've passed the ball once. Lump it forward and hope for a mistake is their plan.

Harper looks incredibly unfit, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets taken off at ht.

Graham, Dack and Chapman could be the difference in this game.

Like a ridiculously well drilled pub team

He looked gassed after 20mins.

Won't get started on Elliot Bennetts first half, as to not upset the fan club on here. Woeful would be an accurate summary.

[darrenrover]

Nowt to fear second half. We need a tad more composure at either end.

Harper(?) should have buried the header towards the end of the half and Samuel should have headed rather than trying to chest the ball down.

Need to stop the sloppy defending though.

[McClarky]

I think Scunny look decent. Remember they're a 3rd divusion outfit. They are committed and get it forward well. .  Quite enjoyed the 1st half tbh.

Of the top 6, 4 are winning and 1 drawing. Favourable? 

On the 9 points off the top issue, we have a game in hand. Still too early for worries like those. 

[McClarky]

A bit of Sham to welcome the teams back out.

[philipl]

Dack on for Harper

They look well organised, but think their defence might crumble if somebody runs at them.

Dack on 

[Fraserkirky]

Dack for Harper by the looks of it

[davulsukur]

Harpers off already. 

Replaced by Dack

He must feel like he can take on the whole of Scunthorpe by himself....

Are we using a sub very early due to a TM selection error or is Harper injured?
