[Archived] Spurs Preview

Who said Lennon wasn't good enough? You talking fans or Ince??

He aint good enough. Just because he got a gift from an Olsson (Please don't use that word again)up doesn't make him a quality player. Most teams would have punished us with such a stupid mistake.

[Amo]

I've noticed Emerton is playing very narrow. Just shows how little we have going on in the middle.

[LeChuck]

Certainly no fans i know.

Loads of people did on here when we were discussing Bentley replacements, or even doing a Lennon + cash deal for him.

I think Den might have been the most vocal if I remember rightly...not to drop him in it or anything.

[T4E]

Spurs hit post

[RibbleValleyRover]

F**king moko gives pav a free header, hits the post, should be 2-0 down.

[AussieinUk]

Spurs hit the post after a Bentley FK...

EDIT: McCarthy's header nearly goes in

[Sysagent]

C'mon Rovers this goalie is ripe for the taking, if there was a chance of an easy win for us away it's this one by the looks of it...

[1864roverite]

That should have been 1-1

[MI ROVER]

mokena and andrews central midfield says it all really, not fit for the championship them 2 !!

[rovers1993]

That should have been 1-1

theres been soo many 'should have' this season, im sure we're top of the 'should have' table and if the 'should have' actually did happen we would be somewhere in the top 6

[Amo]

It's an open game and we can definitely get something out of this game, but I fear if we let in another the heads might drop.

[AussieinUk]

Oojier, being a little silly on Bentley.. last warning for him before he gets a card

EDIT: another half chance for Benni

[1864roverite]

Another chance goes begging

[RibbleValleyRover]

Benni was close there, couldn't keep it down.

[Sysagent]

Nearly...

Agreed. All we hear is how the spirit is fantastic. But there seems to be nobody who really inspires and motivates.

[Rovers in America]

Ugh, McCarthy should have had that goal on the cross by Olsson

[1864roverite]

NIGHTMARE PASSING AND EFENDING

[RibbleValleyRover]

Stupid Moko gives the ball away, Olsson fouls Lennon in a decent freekick position.

[AussieinUk]

Olsson is a moron.. two bad challenges and now picks up a yellow.

EDIT: Control and passing is woeful

[Amo]

Olsson fouls Lennon after poor pass by Mokoena. Booking.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Olsson is a moron.. two bad challenges and now picks up a yellow.

To be fair it was Moko's fault with the misplaced pass. Can't excuse Olsson in terms of the goal.

[LeChuck]

It's getting a bit embarrassing for Olsson.

Mokoena has been absolutely awful, he keeps misplacing simple passes and putting us under pressure. It just seems a typical Ince move not to be able to swallow his pride, admit he was wrong and stick Vogel in there, because he's 10 times better than Mokoena in this form.

[1864roverite]

Rovers are second best to every second ball and that is simply not good enough as it allows them to pressure us all the time.

Rovers need to regroup and quickly

[RibbleValleyRover]

I don't think we are being outplayed. Its just a case of the usual giving the ball away and giving stupid freekicks in dangerous positions.

We gifted Spurs that goal.
