Rovers Return again
Posted: Tue Jan 14, 2014 10:30 amThe View from the Away End
A slightly short view for this week. I have waited as long as can, and there just isn’t any real chat about this game. There are lots of comments about ticket allocation and pricing, but that’s about it really. I have included a couple of comments about the last game to start things off. Sorry its short, but it’s not about the size .....enjoy
Team Selection
Robinson, Henley, Dann, Hanley, Spurr, Lowe, Cairney, Marshall, Taylor, Rhodes, Gestede
And the rest...
Cairney was looked like a prem player out there, very comfortable on the ball, sprayed it wide very effectively to Marshall on numerous occasions, 500K is a steal for a player like him
Absolutely brilliant!! Especially chuffed that we came from a goal down. I bet those City bastards had written the game off at half time.
As bad as it sounds, i'd rather we have a decent loss to Man City. A 1-0 defeat.
Reason being, we should have full focus on getting to the top 6 and attempt to get back into the PL. Not beat city in the FA cup. I'm sure everyone would rather PL than the FA cup title.
If we win then we're the first team to beat City at home this season too. Now that would be a nice bragging right!
The problem we had last season knocking out Arsenal is that Appleton then thought every game we played required all hands on defence and nothing going forward. Hopefully Bowyer doesn't make the same mistake! From the first game at Ewood we didn't just sit back against City and i hope we don't sit back this time either
An injury-prone Aguero facing Grant Hanley? I give him two minutes.
