correct me if im wrong but did matt jansen score a hat-rick at the reebok in our promotion season? i think we won 4-1????

[BRFC4EVA]

We won 4-1 mate on a fri night, but Jansen didnt get a hat-trick, in fact he has never scored a league hat-trick for the Rovers!

The guys who got the goals were Bent, Dunn, Jansen and Hignett in that order

It was 4-1 but Jansen didnt get a hat-rick. I think the goals were scored by Bent, Hignett, Dunn and Jansen but not sure. Ricketts scored for them.

Why? World footballers - can't see anything wrong there.

It did say that, but now it doesnt.

I would like to see Gresko start actually on sun. He was very good when i saw him at the villa game which i travelled down to. Good player with a decent left mid in front of him!

[krislu]

I hope our line-up will look something like this.

         Friedel

Neill - Todd - Matteo - Gresko

          Savage
     
     Reid        Bentley

Bellamy               Pedersen
            Kuqi

Bellamy must be given a bit more free role then MGP, because you won't see him track back anyway. Reid have to put in a good defensive performance and cover the space Beallmy would be leaving on the right when bolton attack.

This is a solid formation IMO, and if we could get it to work I think we'll get some good results. We should try hitting bolton on the break, and hopefully Bellamy's pace will give us some clear cut chances.

When Bolton are on the attack we should be looking something like this. Kugi have the work-rate to do some defensive work, so we have to leave Bellamy up front threating the space behind the bolton defense:

         Friedel

Neill - Todd - Matteo - Gresko
  
Reid   Savage  Bentley Pedersen
               
            Kuqi   

     Bellamy

Todd's out (suspended) is he not?

He is.

[philipl]

Neill back Todd out, shake it all about.

Bolton losing home to Everton then winning away to West Ham probably confirms that Bolton are a tidy outfit this season headed for a finish around 8th. Beatable if you have a bit of class and steel but good enough to be sure to take all three points from teams with weaknesses.

Question is, what are Rovers?

Looks like being a markedly different line-up with two probable debutants and Bellamy starting again after the false start at Upton Park.

Surely Rovers will play in both halves unlike the two previous away games but whether we have enough to take anything from the Reebok is a big test for Hughes.

My bet is an encouraging performance in a 1-0 defeat and worrying glances at upcoming fixtures.

Can't believe your surprised

Not been on here for a while or listened to or read any Football related media?

i`d have expected us to sell nearly the top tier

but with them going on pay on the day i assume there are hundreds left

[Martin]

The thing with Bolton is you know exactly how they are going to play. Long balls to Davies, long throws to Davies. They just lump it in there and pick up the peices. We have an unsettled defence, I'm worried about this fixture. Although it is one of my favourite games of the season.

Everton showed how to win there - Prepare and defend properly you are guaranteed a point. Take your chance and then you have three. Granted they rode their luck in that particular game but they deserved three points from how they defended.

Much will depend on Bellers fitness. However, we won't score more than 1 there.

I am fully expecting to get beat 1-0. Watching us away from home is at times painful.

Yeh but I expected us to sell at least the top tier

[RoverJoexx]

Nice preview, rovers will win it as always.

We play 4141, fast-counter them where possible, exploit their slow defence hopefully with bell's pace.

Heres my team ;

Friedel

Neill, Moko, Nelsen, Matteo

Tugay

Reid, Bentley Savage, Pedersen

Bellamy

Sub : Enks, Gresko, Emerton, Jansen, Kuqi

Rovers 2-0 bellamy and savage for us.

You're joking? Mokoena against the strength of Kevin Davies. That's suicide!

[USABlue]

I am struggling to think of a time we have not played utterly crap after International breaks. Don't fancy us in this one.
