[Archived] Blyth Spartans Vs Blackburn Rovers

[brfc4ever]

Very very close to 1-1....

Derbs out Hodge in

Thank Christ. Derbyshire's found his level - Blue Square. Get shut and cash in - use the money for a proper striker.

[chileandude]

ohhhh...man that was close...c'mon Rovers wake up!!!

[RovertheHill]

Not a great advert for us really. Don't think anyone out there has done themselves any favours in terms of forcing their way into the first team

[Dan]

Bejesus, how close was that?!! They half deserve it, we have been woefull.

[John]

Rovers Man of the Match????

[novella]

Have to say our passing has been absolutely shambolic at times.

[Fife Rover]

I thought Derbs would have starred in this kind of game; he did afterall play for Gt. Harwood and their pitch as I know from experience was more like a ploughed field than a football pitch.

I've never seen anything as bad in my life. I seriously think I could have played better tonight.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Hanging on against a side 118 places below us says it all...

[Wolverine]

Rovers Man of the Match????

Bunn?

[brfc4ever]

Blyth has been more dangerous than us in the 2nd...

[USRoverME]

Rovers Man of the Match????

Sounds like Carlos, unless you can give it to the Blyth players who missed chances...

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Khiza has been the most consistent player tonight in my opinion.

Too many of the players have shown that they aren't good enough for the first team today. It's a sad sight for Rovers fans and also for Big Sam. He obviously expected better despite the pitch conditions. He'll give them a good telling off or a chance to find a new club.

[T4E]

Technique wise too many of our XI have found their level tonight. The pitch is no excuse, professional Premier League footballers should be able to trap a ball and pass straight.

And now we're taking it in to the corner. How embarrassing.

[j166429]

If i'd played like that down the park I'd be seriously naffed off with my self!

[brfc4ever]

Finally this match is over. Oh my god !

[chileandude]

horrible match...good thing its over.

[John]

I thought Zurab looked good and like he played at a decent level. Some of the performances tonight were so poor it is quite worrying.

Anyway, its the result that matters!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Fair play to Blyth.

For a team in the Blue Premier North.....they made us look like a fellow team in that league.

[Fife Rover]

How did Roberts do after he caame on? Nobody has even mentioned him so it cant have been very much!

[BuckyRover]

If I hadn't previously cancelled Setanta, I would now

At least we won. Next stop Stadium of Light

[j166429]

For a group of so called pro's who kick the ball around every day of the week, I can't believe how poor they were!!

[Amo]

It wasn't a great game, but you have to remember that minnows almost always raise their game against the bigger sides and put everything behind it. Against a relegation threatened second-string, they were gonna fancy their chances of snatching something. Football isn't always black & white, but I do agree that a lot of our players tonight didn't sell themselves. Zurab & Bunn looked the only highlights.

One of his efforts from 6 yards nearly wen out for a throw in!!
