| 1. Author: parsmad68 Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 12:22 I was reading the club preview and of the last game review only 2 starters from that game started last game out at East End and Bene will not start on Friday. The only remaining member of those 2 starters is Chris Kane. What a turnover of starting 11. Reply |
| 2. Author: StevenPar77 Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 12:44 I am concerned about how we will line up, especially when the likes of Mullen and Amade may be late in getting back to rejoin the squad after international duty as well as Caceres being suspended, too. According to a Rover friend, they were very poor against Ayr, and this could be a great opportunity, Vaughan has picked up an injury, I believe. Reply |

| 4. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 13:04 Playup_Pompey, Tue 14 Oct 12:52 Excellent 🙄🙄 another top flight ref without use of VAR for a game that loves to make it all about himself. Reply |
| 5. Author: PARrot Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 13:43 I`m dreading it. I thought we would beat them this time but not with the players missing and the travellers being jaded possibly. I see a draw at best but expect 0 points. They will be keen to bounce back after their defeat last week. Reply |

| 7. Author: Parfect69 Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 15:42 I suspect we will be talking about the ref after Friday with his appointment. Hopefully we can play well enough to cope with his desired look at me attitude. With it being on tv and all. Reply |
| 8. Author: Berkey Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 16:11 If your the rovers manger it seems a fairley straight forward team talk, quick start and get stuck right into them, leave a few challenges on them and the younger players will go into their shell and we’ll score then comfortably see out a narrow 1-0 or 2-0 win. We just don’t have the quality support alongside Kane in the final 3rd and they have people like easton who will win you games. We expected inconsistency from this young team but apart from 45 mins at st johnstone and the Arbroath game they have really struggled and are also prone to start slow and gift goals. Struggle to see us scoring from open play, they will win all the physcial battles and if we are under pressure and have to go long it will just come straight back. Would be absolutely delighted with a point. Without caceres we just dont have it and for every arbroath result there has been too many games where we have been poor.

| 9. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 16:35 Probably ugly football is the key on Friday to winning this. Matty Todd should get a start and play behind a front two of Kane and another striker. As Berkey said they will win the physical battles in midfield so get balls out wide and get balls fired into the box at every opportunity. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 10. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 17:02 I felt in the first game, Rovers players deliberately left one on our players all game. The referee`s failure to send of Stevenson ,set the tone and Easton also should have been booked early on. A strong referee, hopefully book their players early ,and stop the rough house tactics .

| 11. Author: Berkey Date: Wed 15th Oct 2025. 08:50 Salton our players just took that challenge by stevenson instead of going mad crowding the ref and giving the ref a bit of a decision to make. It will be men against boys again on friday, we need up get streetwise fast in this league or even if we play some decent stuff we’ll be chalking up the defeats against the top 6. Mullan sent off again, he’s another easy target, put him under pressure and he’ll fold, just like in the first game agaisnt them. A shadow of his former self.

| 12. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 15th Oct 2025. 11:08 He should never have been sent off in both red cards he`s had. We`ll be missing a few key players on Friday but we`re still in a better position than last season. Keep Easton out the game and the wee team are pretty toothless. Easier said than done though. He single-handedly keeps them going. Reply |
| 13. Author: thebear Date: Wed 15th Oct 2025. 13:14 Agree it will be ugly and we are not physical enough to fight back, re should have had a red card last time. We need to be better in the air Reply |
| 14. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 15th Oct 2025. 18:35 Per NL on COWS Josh Cooper needs surgery on a double hernia and is likely to be out for 3 or 4 weeks. Bene was seeing a specialist today to see if surgery is required on his hamstring injury. Rudden was also seeing a specialist. Reply |
| 15. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Wed 15th Oct 2025. 19:29 We have a good enough squad to beat RR. Cometh the hour cometh the man. I`m sure NL will get the team to rise to the challenge. It`s about putting in another good performance. We are in a far better place this season than last, so it`s about building on the performances to date and being arrogant enough to know we can beat them without being complacent. We are as good as any other team in this league, if not better. If we focus, remain disciplined, and put in the effort we will come out on top. We should have that confidence when we step out on to the park.a bit of belief goes a long way. G Wardrope Post Edited (Wed 15 Oct 19:31) Reply |
