frosty Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 andy johnson is in good form unfortunately. In fact, Watford should have won against Everton because: Johnson's was a deflection. It wasn't a penalty. Watford should have had a penalty. Watford scored. So Watford could have won 2-0, gives us hope, even if we have no defence!

ManicRover Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Okay...I'm still an optimist...let's go for something crazy like: Rovers 3 - Everton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchocky Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 2-0 to them. For fear of jinxing us. Not expecting the new strikeforce to start scoring just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AggyBlue Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) The Backlash Rovers 5 - 2 Everton I'm liking that I want a clean sheet and three points, so I'll go for: Rovers 1 : 0 Everton A scrappy game with an own goal will do.

Hughesy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Everton were very lucky on Saturday to get 3 points against Watford. They had got a penalty from a header (which the referee saw as hand-ball) and then Watford had a cross stopped by a hand (which the referee gave as a corner)!! I predict rovers to get their sleeves rolled up for Wednesday and batter Everton, 2-0 Rovers with the likes of Reid & Savage really up for this game. I can see Benni & Roberts wanting to impress the home crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presty On Tour Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 at 36 bucks a ticket and with chelsea on the weekend the attendence could be awful!!! the toffees have the whole of the darwen end so around 20-25k if we are lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daren Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 4-1 to Rovers, hat-trick from Benni, other goal from Roberts. Beattie to score for the toffees. Oh please.... as long as it's not another day like Saturday I won't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn174 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 We surely can't be as bad as we were on Saturday. Everton didn't look particularly great either in their game despite their win. So hopefully we can get our first three points of the season. 2-1 to Rovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S15 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 So Everton got a lucky win and we can't be as bad? Or is that Everton won despite playing @#/?, and we have no defence. 4-1. (To Everton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly Rover ® Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 A scintillating 0-0 draw which should have all the pundits yearning for the good old days of free-flowing football. A real selection poser for Sparky here. Summarizing the discussion from the Transfer Rumour thread (not sure why it's on there anyway): Neill and probably Todd are suspended; Nelsen, Zurab, Matteo, and McEveley are struggling against injury. I find it highly unlikely that none of those four will play, but if so, we'll be left with just Gray and Mokoena having regular season senior experience, and youngsters Taylor, Nolan and Kane also available for selection. If that above injured list can't suit up Wedneday, the starting lineup I would go with is (seriously): ------------McCarthy--Roberts----------- --Pedersen--Savage--Reid--Emerton-- ---Gray---Nolan----Mokoena---Taylor--- --------------------Friedel-------------------- Subs: Brown, Douglas, Gallagher, Bentley, Kuqi Obviously, I'd love it if Todd's red card got overturned and/or Zurab turns out to be fit. Nolan would be the first from the above team to sit, but after that I'd honestly pull Mokoena to the bench and leave Taylor on instead of putting the Axe at right back. With a reasonably solid backtracker Emerton in front of him, Taylor should do okay... of course, if Gally or Bentley were in front of him, he'd get ripped to shreds for sure, and he might anyway. Hopefully Hughes is playing his cards close to his chest with respect to Zura's, Matteo's, and McEveley's injuries, because as much as I'd like to see the youngsters given a shot, this is not exactly how I'd envision it. Who'd have thought... we're praying Matteo comes back to save our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevidgeBlue Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) I apologise for possibly inadvertently misleading people slightly about the contents of Monday's LT. I only got a quick glance at it on the way past. It didn't mention McEveley as being injured. Other than that it was as I said. It claimed Neill suspended, Todd possibly so, Nelsen out for another 2 weeks, Zurab unlikely to be fit. Matteo struggling. Not really crucial unless jay is being considered for a centre half slot.

Philly Rover ® Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) Ahhh but then it is crucial Rev... which is pretty sad indeed! With Nelsen, Zura, and Matteo out, and Neill and likely Todd suspended, Mokoena and McEveley are the only defenders who have played center half at the senior level. Unless Hughes wanted to experiment with Douglas or Reid pairing Mokoena in defense -- or go with the unproven Nolan -- it looks like McEveley would be the most likely to start alongside the Axe. God help us if something good doesn't happen between now and Wednesday. Edited August 22, 2006 by Philly Rover ® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
