I'm a bit lost for words..
Spot on Sparky. Absolutely superb performance. In fact so good, we made them look very ordinary indeed.Solid at the back, immense in midfield, and clinical up front
Another unbalanced bench 3 forwards and a winger. After Saturday would have though Gumbs might make sub.
Come on Rovers![/QUOTE
hindsight comment,
that is why Micky is the manager
and so has the boz message about substitutes,the smiley disappeared!!!!
Micky's judgement on tactics was spot on.
However, it's a higher risk strategy not to have any defensive/midfield option on the bench, particularly in away games where there's more defending to be done, if a defender gets injured or sent off. It's come back to bite us at least once this season. Fortunately that didn't arise last night, but assuming we finish the tie off on Saturday, I'd say the same about the Wembley line-up.
A reply to Mal as the quotes don't appear to be working on here atm
i agree "cowshed kid', the referee was tolerant of tackles in very wet conditions and helped keep the flow.And a word for the ref. He was spot on. Difficult game for him, play offs, on TV, bad weather etc, but he was great. Put his name down for Wembley please!
