[Archived] West Ham Vs Rovers

[Bobby G]

I had thought that Diouf was possibly our worst player on that day, bar one, who was Junior.

[Miker]

I'm guessing it's something like:

Robinson

Chimbonda-Nelsen-Samba-Givet

Diouf-Emerton-N'zonzi-Olsson

Pedersen

Kalinic

Pretty good lineup... would prefer Hoilett in place of Diouf, but to be fair, Hoilett hasn't been as impressive when starting compared to when he's been brought on as a sub.

[G Somerset Rover]

Quite pleased with the line-up except Diouf. He's dreadful.

A point I made in our last game but our bench is very weak IMO. Hopefully something that will be adressed before the deadline.

Still afraid I think we'll lose 3-2. Bleddy West Ham.

I think that'll be the line up, but with N'Zonzi in front of the back four and Gamst in the left centre of midfield. Pity Diouf as he is the second worst player we have at the club.

To be fair it has been already with Basturk and Linganzi! Will at least hopefully see Keith moved off the bench!

[Daremz]

Dunny still injured? What's wrong with him exactly and how long is that going to take? DD and MGP in centre midfield will rock the boat.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Sloppy play so far from us, West Ham dominating the midfield and Diamanti in the hole causing us problems.

[Miker]

Great... they're not showing the game on TV today so I guess I'll just be staying up til 4am doing nothing except pretend that by being up I will somehow influence the team to win...

[RibbleValleyRover]

No pressure whatsoever from us, no closing down and we are far too deep. West Ham just walking through our midfield.

[jonv]

Sam OUT!!

[sweet]

Looking like only a matter of time before we concede.

[jonv]

How many have we bought to the Hammers? Our support are in fine voice - or West Hams fans are always this quiet.

Definetely haven't come flying out the gates like against Wigan, almost like we've sat back and let the game play out, the longer it stays 0-0 the more frustrated West Ham will get in turn hopefully we will then start to push forward.

[Daremz]

Niko will score. Killer that guy...

[Eddie]

Really terrible so far, only a matter of time at the moment. Not the way you'd expect us to play against a struggling side.

[BPF]

Big boot and no idea....

Welcome home

[Nafe_rovers]

a think a good old fashioned "get-in-to-them" would be appropriate!

[Tom]

Starting Diouf is beyond bizarre but its an away game Sams plan is obviously to bore West Ham to death

[hollowsr]

Is it just me who isn't too disappointed so far, Niko is a bit isolated but since we are the away side it makes sense not to be trying to dictate the play West Ham haven't threatened really so far, they are playing a lot of long balls and Samba especially is doing well with it

Hardly any rovers fans there, just one block of them stuffed in the corner

[Eddie]

A CORNER! HOW EXCITING!

[Bobby G]

Very poor going forward.

[BPF]

Very poor going forward.

Yes we are, but other board members will happily tell you that we don't need another striker

[Tom]

But if we had a good attacking midfielder playing just off Kalinic we possibly wouldnt need another striker.

Even if we had another we would still play 1 up away I imagine

[dopper69]

How are Givet, MGP and Olsson lining up?

[hollowsr]

Yes we are, but other board members will happily tell you that we don't need another striker

But surely it is the midfield that helps us get going forward so we have strengthened that position already. I don't think anyone will deny that we need another striker just that the midfield was the place that needed the strengthening more
