Lathund Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Samba and Vogel in. Zurab and Dunn (Injury) out. With Samba's recent form I'd have prefered to see either Emerton in with Ooijer in the centre, or keeping Zurab in there. I wonder what Zurab is thinking when Samba plays poorly, and then Zurab plays well when deputising for him, and then gets dropped again as soon as Samba is back. ROVERS: Friedel, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen ©, Warnock, Bentley, Reid, Vogel, Pedersen, Roberts, Santa Cruz. Subs: Brown (GK), Emerton, McCarthy, Mokoena, Derbyshire. TOTTENHAM: Cerny, Chimbonda, Dawson, Woodgate, Hutton; Lennon, Zokora, Jenas, Malbranque, Keane ©, Berbatov. Subs: Fortune (GK), Tainio, Gilberto, Huddlestone, Bent.

Interesting that Vogel is starting. He hasn't played a competitive match for a long time and to play him from the start in a must win game against a decent side he must of impresed Hughes. I just hope it doesn't backfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, this is a very strange move by Hughes! We had a good chance of winning this game, but with Samba back in the starting XI...You better get yourself ready for another horror show by the blackburn defence!

FourLaneBlue Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Samba´s best performances have usually been alongside Nelsen in defence who may have been helping him out as a mentor. Maybe Hughes is thinking that is what Samba needs to settle him down and get back into form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurid Coat Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I'm still a bit shocked that Vogel is starting I'm both shocked and excited, to be honest. I've always been a big fan of Vogel's, so I'm ecstatic that he's getting his Rovers debut so soon, but this might also just be a testament to how Hughes rates Tugay and the Axe (i.e not at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting anything major from him, as its his first game but its nice to see a DM with a pedigree in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers1993 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 well at least man city is 1-0 down... we need a win badly! if not then say good bye to europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. E Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 if the team which lost 4-1 to the worst team in the league stop us today....well....well what. We're Rovers. It's what we do. and this is what I'm talking about. Santa Cruz gets the ball 1 on 1 vs the last defender, and he doesn't go for it. He runs out of the area, waits for support and the entire Spurs defense floods back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
