[Archived] ROVERS v Portsmouth

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Subs have killed the game in an attacking sense.  Terrible conditions though.

[Paul]

An awful lot of water on the pitch. Have to hope the referee doesn’t have any stupid ideas. 

[Tom]

Samuel idiotically sent off 

[McClarky]

If there wasn’t 10 mins to go I think this would be called off.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

What an idiot.

[Gogger]

Well done Samuel, you scrub.

[AAK]

What did he do, Samuel? Just saw the player rolling about like a girl? Means he won't be playing next game so I am happy

[Gogger]

Conway! Bennett, what a work rate!

[McClarky]

Superb, I mean the steward tripping up behind Conway.

[Tom]

Beautiful by Bennett crunching the pansy in the build up

[JacknOry]

Shrewsgury late goal - they are steamrolling this league.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Quality finish from conway.

[Swanson]

Is it another clean sheet for Downing? No coincidence maybe..

[philipl]

We might have just gone 6th with two games in hand.

[Miker]

That late Conway goal means we have managed to end today in 6th place instead of 7th.

That 3rd goal takes us into the top 6.

[McClarky]

Really enjoyed the game today.  Played some good stuff and won deservedly.  Pompey weren’t up to much but that’s the level we’ve at so a great win.

Based on his reaction its fair to assume he did something. Started walking off before the card was shown. Good win, great first half.

[OJRovers]

Said it before, it’s not rocket science: forgot about the opposition and play our best team. 

Nutall in the squad in place of Samual whilst suspended?

[Exiled in Toronto]

I for one thought the subs made sense. They’d just brought on three fresh pairs of legs on the heaviest of pitches and to have players like Evans, Conway and Samuel (temporarily) come on is pretty good at this level. 

What a difference a few days makes, I thought we looked the real deal today. Key was having Dawson back, no need to protect Nyambe so Chapman comes in. Fight and spirit all over the field, three great goals and Raya had nothing to save all afternoon.

 

Onward.

Minght replace him with nuttall in the squad for next couple of games 

[West Yorks Rover]

Well done to the lads sounded like a good performance too, should help sell a few more tickets for the big game at Wigan.

[AdamRochina]

Much better performance and work rate from them..really frustrating knowing we have it in us to do that to most teams and should of pummeled Plymouth .. hopefully that's our starting 11 from now on..good three points and muh needed given Wigan Shrewsbury both won

[Eddie]

Good result, good performance. 

[Lihamylly]

Now TM, keep this starting lineup and replace Samuel (while suspended) with Nutall and we just might have a decent season ahead of us after all.
