Blackpool_Rover Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Friedel is definitely starting. Keith O'Neill was just at Ewood on Soccer AM and said Thommo told him he passed a fitness test. we knew that yesterday when he was picked for the squad. Although most likely he will start, its not for sure. Seems a bit harsh to put enckleman on the bench when he has conceded 1 goal in about 9 games.

Manchester Blue Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Although most likely he will start, its not for sure. Well i'd say that seeing as Souness said Yorke is starting he has told them the team and as such according to Thommo Friedel is starting. Sorry if you already knew that but I didn't.

Eddie Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 crap well...can we please score a few goals in the second half? Maybe they are trying to show us a last season-this season sort of thing. Lets hope so. C'mon Rovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby G Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 new season...same old story... Sky Sports reporting that West Brom is all over us and playing much better than us,and should have had a penalty a minute before they scored. We havent tested their keeper either. Very VERY VERY disappointing. 45 minutes to turn this around. Bolton,Villa,City have all made good starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Well...a draw isn't actually too bad as a first game of the season. Though we really have to look to get much better. I'm not overjoyed, as I would have liked to get a win, but a draw to start will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocker Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 1-1 fantastic result, west brom will surely be a force to be reckoned with I would have hated that result this morning but I happy with it now. Kanu is a top buy for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not overjoyed, as I would have liked to get a win, but a draw to start will do. You're joking? 1-1 against a team who are one of the favouries for relegation??? If we can't beat one of the worst teams at home, what hope do we have? As usual giving away stupid free kicks and having loads of pressure with no end product.

No one likes to play promoted clubs on the opening day for the obvious reasons. I bet Arsenal are glad they didn't have to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mode_m Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Well looking at last years start where Rovers came off winning 5 - 0 and then having a poor season I think its safe to say that the first game means nothing in the long run...then again Wolves did go down Lets just be positive that we got something out of it.

West Brom were all over us for the first half and quite a bit of the second. West Brom were worthy of a point, that isn't and wasn't my point!! Ah well, I guess a point is better than nothing, just seems as if it's a new season but, the same old story. Couldn't go today because of work, almost glad I didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROOPER Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 (edited) Sounded like we were a lot better in the second half & we got back into a game that we might have lost last season. Why was Flitcroft not even on the bench? Was it just tactical or has there been another falling out? When you look at the 16 we put out we are desperate for somebody 'special' the only glimmer of hope is that we have Thommo to come back, but he can blow hot & cold. Why couldn't we have picked somebody up like Kanu? At least after todays result we won't be too complacent as maybe we were last season after stuffing Wolves. Will people lay off Dickov now?

adopted scouser Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Newly promoted clubs always come out of the traps quickly, eager to make a good impression, and wasn't their goal deflected ? Liverpool drew aswell so I'm fine ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murakami Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 10 years ago the last time we drew 1-1 and we know what happened that season Yeah, I remember we had a fantastic team and we drew 1-1 against our bogey team Southampton away from home. Big difference. I'm not arguing that promoted teams come out of the traps quickly, but surely we should should come of the traps quickly also? This was one of our easiest home games, the next two will be far far far more trickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
