Back from Fleetwood. One of those pre-season games where you learn very little, except that Fleetwood Town has excellent facilities for a club of their level (including a bar that would shame many clubs at a higher level) and that we have some real idiots for fans. Still don't know what was going on with this two game stuff??!!

Oh and we won 2-0 by the way. I beginning to wonder in this alcohol fog whether this game really took place, given everyone's posting about some game in Southport....

"Small town in Burnley"

"Bus Stop in Cleveleys"

Defence looked solid, though Gunning looked good at left back. Midfield of N'Zonzi and Andrews went AWOL in the second half. Grass was a wee bit long and a couple of times Hoilett tried to run with the ball but the ball stuck in the pitch.

Also has Roberts eaten Benni?

Roberts looked massive, but not as big as their nbr 5!!

Gunning wasn't left back - we played 3-5-2 and he was the left sided centre back, Hanley central and Jones on the right. Ramm and Olsson were wing backs. Thought they all did well.

Hoilett still doesn't have any nous at all when playing a final ball, Andrews looked average - even against conference players, Roberts lumbered around, Blackman go into some good positions, had some good chances and fluffed them all.

Disappointed we didn't get to see Rodrigo Branco - I'm a big fan of Brazilians. ;)

And .... if this was billed as the First team game, why were at least an equal number of them in Southport playing a match that wasn't really publicised??

Not disagreeing, just wondering what made you say that? ( I didn't go)

About to reply then and what I wrote vanished. In a local pub there was a group of 'old school' fans smoking and the landlord was powerless to do anything. He was clearly furious but the atmosphere was intimidatory - not good natured banter. The really shameful thing was that these were blokes who really were old enough to know better - not the stupid kids you get at games like Bolton last season but men in their late 30s and 40s. It's crap that we had great hospitality from Fleetwood Town but the abiding memories for some people in FLeetwood will be that we are a bunch of numpties.

is this a Rovers thing, because Roberts, Kalinic also gets themselves into good scoring positions, and then fluffs them. I dont want to criticise Niko too much, but Roberts we know he is prone to those misses.
