early pressure from rovers, 2nd corner in a row.

ankle injury

that's a nightmare for Adam, if he's just turned his ankle it could put him out for a couple of weeks - hope it's nothing more serious.

looks like lallana may be subbed - he is subbed.

a nice professional and solid 2nd half please lads - not too bothered if we don't score any more.

you can't buy game time and because of his injury he missed our final pre-season friendlies and the first 2 games of the season, so he's playing catchup slightly.

HT rovers players booed off the pitch

he's not 100% fit yet unfort. - he's admitted it himself on saints player. If he was any other player i doubt he'd even be out there, but he's so important to us that he can cause problems even at 50%

i hope it is us, but there is alot of interest in the kid from a much higher level than us.

puncheon trying to do it all on his own again

rovers fans getting on at their own players.

********, what a chance. how unlucky is barnard?

wifm!

some snippets about him from wycomes OS match reports - ''the goal came in some style when Matt Phillips produced a masterclass in wingplay to dash past a host of Millwall defenders and give Strevens the simple task of tapping home from six yards.'' ''The goal prompted a response from the home side and they began to compete with the Lions, with the pace of Matt Phillips in particular looking capable of creating openings.'' '' And it worked, all thanks to the majestic work of Matt Phillips on the wing. The England Under-19 international danced through a host of yellow shirts after bursting goalwards from the touchline and laid the ball on a plate for Strevens to tap home his first goal for the club from six yards.''

I went on an investigation with them a year ago, right at the start of their group (the red lion in boldre) haven't been on one since though - pleased that they've managed to get all the exposure they have. Really good bunch of people.

It wasn't so much the goals he scored, it was the ''pass and move'' style of his play. Our midfield atm is too static and sideways.

I know it's only youtube, but this guy looks like he could be the missing cog in our midfield. Looks way too good for L1.

They were good squad players, but that's all they were. They weren't ''last'' season. Last season was about Lambo, Lallana, Morgan, Fonte, Harding - without them we can forget it. Luckily they're still here! Antonio and Papa were impact players, good impact players yes - but i still believe that both are replaceable, at the end of the day it was their pace that made them a threat more than their technique and technical ability. I think we are going slightly OTT on both players if im honest .

played CM

He is not a first team signing, or a Pardew signing - he will be part of the reserve squad.

Blackpool are going to sign him i believe.

Can't see the Harte rumour being true, Pard's has always said he likes tall/dominant players down the spine of the team. When he came here he got rid of all the ''short'' players and replaced them with 6ft + players. Harte is a very average and small CB - as shown in the JPT Final, he's no better than what we have and we have other positions that need more attention.
