Dpl v Luton

Evening all!

Another tough game awaits but hopefully we will have the rocks available again in Butler and Baudry. 1 defeat in 2 months isn't so bad and with our home form this will be imperative in helping us get promotion. Hopefully fergie will rally the troops.

I think it's time Williams had some time on the bench and maybe give May a chance or even Mcsheffrey 60mins then bring Williams on.

We haven't lost at home to Luton in 62 years so hopefully it stays that way!

points scorers from the last 2 games are as follows.

Newport away
Result - draw
Score - 0-0
Scorer - none
Crowd - 2653

Uthred was the only predictor to predict a draw in this game picking up 3 points.

No Scorer therefore for the crowd SmallAzza, King Chomprrrr, Mickey and myself all pick up 5 points for being within 100 of the attendance  < applause>

Bvz and Mooligan with 4 points

AussieLad and Cheltenhamrover with 3

Donaldo, Yorkshirelad and Uthred with 2 points.

Selbyrover with 1 point.

Carlisle - away
Result - loss
Score - 1-2
Scorer - Rowe
Crowd - 4527

Uthred again was in the points picking up 8 well and truly backing the curse of the manager of the month we seem to have got!

Donaldo and Yorkshirelad pick up 3 points for the correct result 

No one backed Tommy Rowe to score first.

Crowd wise Donaldo with 3 points, Selbyrover with 2 points. Mooligan, Yorkshirelad and myself with 1 point.

Tomorrow I think this could be a draw. Luton have been on a decent run recently and us being slightly under par.

2-2 with Marquis scoring first and a crowd of 7000.

I assume Azza that you'll pick up the punts from the earlier thread.

I've seen "win ugly" and now I've seen "draw ugly". Luton came to dominate the middle of the pitch and dominate it they did. I lost count of the times our players were muscled off the ball and, with a pretty forgiving ref, Luton got away with murder. Nevertheless their goal was a gift. When you have two Rovers players over the half way line almost in touch wrestling with an opposition player you really don't expect him to break away from both of them, with the ball, that is then passed to a player who scores. It was the game summed up in a cameo. We have to be able to win the ball, keep the ball, pass it accurately and break down teams who play with two banks of four. In the first half Blair took on the full back and put in some good crosses but other than that and a sublime equaliser we lacked speed, skill and grit. Subs McSheffrey and May showed how it's done. Will Mr Williams ever score another goal? Who knows.
