[Archived] Rovers v Doncaster Rovers

[J*B]

Have it on good authority we where due to play:

Raya; Nyambe, Ward, Mulgrew, Williams; Chapman, Smallwood, Evans, Bennett; Graham Samuel before Mercerman made his prediction. 

[neophox]

4-5-1 formation with Bennett and Williams on wings...Whittingham in an attacking midfeld role..

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

That's not the most exciting line up.  What the hell is TM doing?  At least we have an attacking bench because all the attack minded players aren't on the field.

Where do Nyambe and Caddis play in that formation ?

[Tom]

Let's hope we smash them now or Tony may have made a rod for his own back

Ewood looking empty....heartbreaking.

I estimate TM wants at least a point on the board as a priority and to get us up and running.

He will realise after last week and last season what a poor start will do to the confidence of players and fans.

 

You don't usually come away with a point if you set out to get just one.

Unrelated to us but Kalas for Fulham has been sent off in 1st minute!

Well there won't be many walk-ons at £22 minimum.

Far too much for 3rd Division football.

Is ifollow commentary working for everyone? 

[Tom]

From my seat in the family stand it doesn't look any emptier than last season; maybe this stand is much worse though

No!

I miss radio rovers! IFollow is @#/?

[davulsukur]

Must be a back 3 with that lineup? 

[Damien]

Any live streams? I'm in Italy and can't watch it!

[Miker]

Looking better so far compared to last week at Southend. Passing it around fairly nicely on the ground, but no end product so far.

Still not entirely sure what the formation is... looks like 3-4-2-1, with Graham up front and Bennett and Whittingham in support.

[davulsukur]

Gary Cahill straight red against the Dingles.

sodesways passin/ no one showing for the ball.

[Damien]

Rotherham 2 up

[K-Hod]

I'm not sure what we're trying to do and neither are the players. 

This seems a needlessly over-complicated system with lots of sideways passes and not a lot of penetration or even attempted killer balls. Barely attempting to stick crosses in. All very weird.

Rorherham beating southend 2-0
