[Archived] Portsmouth v Rovers

[Tom]

Travis on for Payne

Three at the back then Bennett and Williams wing backs with Smallwood and Travis central in midfield

Rich Sharpe says we switch to 3 at the back now

[AdamRochina]

In fairness we scored 2 when we switched to it last game.

Problem is the manager doesn't know his best team or approach and it's a seemingly random throw of the dice as to what and when

You are in the hot seat/firing line now.

Hoping for all our sakes you are right and I'm wrong..

 

[Preben]

Well we're going for it!

[Husky]

I seem to recall the last time we played this formation we took a bit of a pasting.

Or was that five at the back?

[FGS5635]

Fleetwood have scored at least

[Tom]

I don't even get the slightest bit of hope when I see we've won a corner, imagine we are overall the shortest team in this league

Also doesn't help when your centre back takes the corners

The Rovers twitter always seems to expect us to do something from a corner.

"60’ - Travis sets Armstrong away with an inch-perfect pass over the top, and the attacker wins us a corner. Come on! 1-1. #Rovers"

 

Never sure as to why.

[Gogger]

Samuel not interested. So limited as a player. No fotballbrain, and cant finish.

Means nothing when you are on a losing streak 

The lead is significant if the chasing team can't win for toffee

[Roboftherovers82]

time  to get  Graham  on

[Lihamylly]

I would like to get one goal for rovers now, please.

[islander200]

Get Graham on for Samuel Mowbray

[Preben]

As an aside I'm tapping my feet to the Pompey drummer but turn the sound of when the Rovers "drummer" "plays"

[West Yorks Rover]

Att, 18,152 (884 rovers)

 Raya is all over the place. Samuel anonymous as usual, defence a shambles and half the team out of position again. 

[Miker]

We're looking a bit better in this formation. Some more fluid movement and passing happening, but unable to break down the Portsmouth defence for the time being. 

[Preben]

Another pov ... Rovers are going all out to win this 

[Tom]

We can't have another game go by when rivals slip up and we don't take advantage, winning is a necessity now

[AAK]

Raya just hit the ball right at their player, and the ref give rovers a free kick for some reason, he's all over the show Raya

[AdamRochina]

This is dire. . Automatic we want right.. We look like an average mid table league 1 side.  Samuel is a shambles as a striker he really is
