[Archived] Walsall v Rovers

[dallydally]

We mustn't go defensive now. Should be comfortable so we need to put this game to bed early second half

Armstrong hitting the bar instead of making it 3 - 0 was the turning point. Totally different game now, but liking what I'm seeing. Williams much-improved, and Graham scores when he wants.

How did Evans do? Can’t say I kept an eye on him

[Exiled in Toronto]

For 44 mins that was a cracking performance. Graham played the best half he has all season, the kind of dominant target man hit we have been waiting for. I have to say I think Payne brings us something that Dack hasn't been for the last month, and Armstrong has been a handful, pity he hit the bar. Even Evans has been a massive upgrade on last week.

Win this 4-1

Mouthful of wine turned to ashes in my mouth when that Walsall goon knocked one in. Really hoping we go out guns blazing in the 2nd half. HAve to put this one to bed.

This is pretty much a carbon copy of the Ewood fixture against them. 3-1 finish looks a good bet!

[JacknOry]

Bad time to concede - will give them plenty of imputous for the second half. Hope he doesnt mess things around too much and just tells the lads to be prepared.

He did far better than normally. No mistakes, but nothing spectacular. That's certainly an improvement!

Sounds similar to the home game against them we were strolling at 2-0 until a daft mistake, hopefully the outcome will be the same

Raya collides with Graham

1 2

He is such a weak link. Needs replacing in the summer, regardless of the league we are in.

[Give 'Em the Axe]

Doing his steady-eddie routine, really. Evans, I mean.

Presumably that leutwiler isn’t up to much if Raya is the undisputed no1. As well as catching his distribution has been awful today more often than not found a Walsall player.

Come on Rovers, big second half coming up!

Raya flap but I thought it was a pisspoor attempt by Graham to defend the ball back in.

 

Just replayed it back, seems like Mulgrew got in the way of Raya , Looks like Graham did not realise there was two un- marked Walsall players behind him (did not look behind whilst the ball was played back in )

That's progress, it's often a ball boy.

It all comes now to how TM reacts to the goal. If he shits a little in his pants and gets defensive, we are doomed.

If we keep playing like we did in the first half, we have nothing to worry.

Fingers crossed.

Fleetwood have been up and down like a yo-yo in this league and are now in serious threat of relegation with Bury winning and them losing to mk dons.

That’s harsh on a player who scored us two goals, mate ?

[Tom]

Come on rovers - huuuuge 45 now!

He needs to lock the doors and allow the front players to do their bit now.

Wallsall on top.

Rovers full of doubt

[AdamRochina]

Under the cosh 

[matt83]

Being a sad git I’m counting how many times Raya finds a rovers player this half off kicks. 3 attempts 2 Walsall players 1 out of play so far. He should just kick it out of play rugby lineout style then pressure the throw. 

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Strange start this
