Im not feeling confident at all for this. I know the last 2 seasons ive gone into this game over confident and come away at 5pm depressed. Heres my team... Friedel Neill Nelsen Todd Gresko Emerton Reid Savage Pedersen Kuqi Derbyshire Subs..Enckleman, Matteo, Mokoenna, Tugay, Gallagher Prediction Fulham 2 - 1 Rovers Please prove me wrong. COME ON ROVERS!

I have to agree. I thought the west ham fans were excellent, i had a headache by the end it was so loud. Not that you can make out what they are singing...its just a noise, but loud. As for the rovers singing....i dont know where you got that from drslowman. I know there were some songs comin from the back but i could hardly hear sitting at the front. I guarantee you west ham didnt hear a thing! And LOL at savage...that was funny.

I cant say i was impressed with pedersen and Kuqi. Cusnt see much of Gresko as my seat seemed to be below the pitch. Saw him put in a peach of a cross though. Todd had a bad game. Savage did well before he got booked then went out of the game. Bellamy had no service. Reid was ok apart from his final ball.

I cant be bothered repeating what everyone else is saying. All il say is no more Mokoenna at center back PLEASE! Ive said all along hes rubbish in that position, he doesnt know what to do, he doesnt look around him and he is the most usefull premiership player in the air ive ever seen. This guy will NEVER win a header. Everytime he gets the ball he looks like a nervous robot. Then when he went into midfield he looked better. Keep him on the bench for when we go 4-5-1 as he is excellent in that position. Lets just hope we get Nelsen back soon. As for the rest of the seasons cover id much rather have Amo as a backup for center back than Mokoenna. With Amo we know what were getting...good performances agains tthe top teams and good performances with a couple of mistakes and lapses in concentration against the other teams. So if todd/nelsen gets injured we just have to keep our fingers crossed we get lucky with amos mistakes and warn his partner to be ready and quick off the mark when a mistake happens. Overall it was a horrible day. The west ham fans were excellent and im sure this intimidated some of our players. West ham looked stronger and more up for it than us. So that was yesterday, it was crap, its OVER. Next week...fulham at home...we need a result! COME ON ROVERS!!

just got back...what a fun drive that was...quite possibly my most miserable day since last november. il read posts tommorow...a cheerfull friends 21st bday party beckons...god

Is anyone going by car? If so...any tips on car parking around the ground?

yes. Keith barker has scored lots of goals for the academy in the last couple of seasons. Looks a good prospect

i thought they did ok apart from the 2 defensive errors. Emre looked good and they were unlucky. Not sounesses fault anyway

Gresko can play at this level, thats why he played for inter and parma and thats why Blackburn (a premiership club) spent money on him. Were not stupid. The season ebfore last im certain it was a mental thing with some of his errors. He is a good player lets just see if he can settle in the team and do well next season.

Just got back...nice day out. Few quick notes cause im knackered...we were under the cosh a bit for 10 mins, swansea had most of first half chances, should have scored a couple, after pedersens goal we settled down. Friedel - some very good saves, missed their goal was singin to our players warming down so i dont know what happened Neill - solid Todd - Solid, couple of strange passes, but good game overall Mokoenna - solid, surprised me i didnt like him at center back before Matteo - Good performance Pedersen - Good goal, could have had another, delivery was ok, didnt do much down the flanks. Actually looked better when moved on the right today. Savage...im not judging til hes fit. The old people behind me were slating him the whole half which was wrong, hes had an operation, only just gone back to training and had 12,000 people giving him some pretty bad abuse. Couple of mislaid passes and tackles. Not very involved. Reid - Another good display and another goal. Good athlete seems to get more stuck in now aswell. Linked up well with the strikers and was unlucky not to get another. Emerton - Looked good going forward and defensivley. Linked up well with neill. Looked comfortable on the left aswell. Kuqi - Disapointed me, didnt win headers, didnt win much actually and was wastefull. Hopefully he will improve. Gallagher - Some good runs and provided the cross for MGP. Couple of crap shots. Subs... Mcevely/taylor - both did ok Flitcroft - Some stupid passes, i didnt think he was good enough for our first team last season and nothings gonna change. Tugay - Couple of wayward passes but overall did very well. Totally different from savage he was involved in every rovers move. Basically ran our game when he came on. Gray - Another good display. Pplayed left mid and did well. Some good crosses (and 1 bad one) linked up very well with gresko. Ive never had a problem with Gray, in my opinion hes always been excellent for us apart from the 3 games last season..charlton away, boro and chelsea away. Could be a very usefull squad player. Gresko - What can i say....his touch was excellent, his vision was excellent, his delivery was excellent and his movement was excellent. Out for a year!!!? You definately wouldnt think so. Lets hope he can do it in the prem. If he can hes a def starter. and finally, the man of the match... Derbyshire - Ive seen him play a couple of times for the reserves and i got the opinion that he wont make it at this level, at least not for a while. Looks totally different now. For the last 20 mins he was playing upfront on his own and he never stopped making intelligant runs..his first touch was good, created a couple of chances for himself and got a good header in from a tight angle (from a very good gresko cross). So alls good

Well after watching that dvd no1 can say Dickov isnt a major and worthy part of our team. The dvd just reminded me that we would be starting our season next saturday if it wasnt for him.

My season ticket came this morning complete with a membership pack of a mouse mat, keyring, sticker, goals of the season dvd that was a nice surprise

They used to give away fans a whole side. If they still do that were screwed. If not theres no chance of them beating our gate..especially with the good season were gonna have

nope sorry never been. This site usually tells you some pubs Pubs but those could be near the old ground not the new one, and i dont know how far away they are.

I just bought my tickets this morning, decided to save on petrol money and take the official coach..leaves ewood at 7am..mp3 player at the ready

Anyone know the squad numbers yet? Im trying to pre-order the home shirt online and want Bellamy on the back but need to know his number!

anyone know if Jansen or Gresko saw any action?

strange! Dunno where ive been. Any confirmation on it finishing 2-0!?

hahaha, ive never noticed referees do this before this pre-season. Is it new? ive seen it about 3 times in the last week

Well thats good news, finally the admiral gets his goal! Hes missed about 4 sitters since january!

hmm that cant be right, are they an hour ahead or behind us? Im sure its ahead, but u got your text before 18:30 their time...strange

'it was a scotish bloke called benny' BLOODY ELL
