Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I’ve lost count of the good chances we’ve had to get to an FA cup final in my lifetime. Drawing away at Fulham in the quarter finals only to lose at home in the early 1960’s. Little Oxford Utd away later on in the 1960’s with the best Rovers team I ever saw. Several opportunities in the Jack Walker era when we seemed to get good away draws only to lose the replays at Ewood. I was right behind the Pedersen header at OT. I thought it was going in right until it went past the post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never see us live in a FA Cup Final nor have any hopes of such. 7th May 1960, my birthday. What an anticlimax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Well, as this is the match thread, my starting 11 Kaminski Nyambe Leni Ayala Ronnie Travis Davenport Dolan Rothy Diaz Gally We need legs in Midfield and although Bucko showed some good touches last week I don't think he did enough. Come on Rovers.......Surprise Us!! Note: Posted without knowledge of any injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeRover Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Ayala Pickering Travis Davenport Dolan Rothwell Brereton Gallagher Would go for this myself, two strikers up front with balls being whipped in by Dolan and Rothwell and ask Travis to move in support when we are on the attack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there at Old Trafford for that game and as thrilling as it was in that semi final (I think we missed a close header too in extra time) and somehow Ballack's winner wasn't a surprise. That was Mourinho's Chelsea. True, we got very close and that was the closest we've been in my time. However, we were at our very best than and didn't quite make it, but against Millwall we threw away a great chance. Two FA Cup chances, but one was a glorious defeat, the other just yet another shambles under Venkys. When we lost at OT I felt pride. When we bottled it at home to Millwall, everyone was livid. Those differing reactions say it all. Edited August 14, 2021 by TheRoversReturn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roverthechimp Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I expect: Kaminski Magloire Lenihan Ayala Nyambe Pickering Travis Davenport Gallagher. Brereton Dolan Personally would keep last weekend's starting 11... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davulsukur Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Gotta take it game by game at the mo and today we have our first choice back 4 available, so we really need to get something from this game. --------------------Kaminski Nyambe--Lenihan--Ayala--Pickering ----Trav-‐-----Davenport---Rothwell --------Dolan-------Gallagher-----Diaz Chapman should feature off the bench too.

WacoRover Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I’d love to see Big Ben on the scoresheet again, as well as Gally. However, we will need more, I think, today. I still have more concerns defensively than on attack, even without Arma. Maybe BB with a brace. COYB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey_big_nose Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I'm in France for holidays and thought I would be able to watch the game on a over sees match ticket. Cant see that option though, only get the audio options listed. Any overseas rovers had any luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J*B Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 If you start asking for streams or explaining how to work around iFollow then you’ll be banned. It’s illegal and it’s me that is responsible. Thanks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruRover Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Sadly I’m not gonna be able to keep up with this game as I’m going to be mid flight. Hope to land to a Rovers win! It’s the right team, though I worried that we may struggle against Millwalls physicality and Ariel threat. Expecting a draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
