I would be shocked if the starting 13 were'nt the same for cardiff. Make that 17 with Taylor missing out, unless a certain missing player arrives.

Yeah forgot bout him we have lovegrove and netherton to, thought newts played well, well actually they all did.

Can Newts pass properly? If he's not throwing it NFL style he's running with the ball in an extended arm trying to 'pass the baton'. Is this why he runs the length of the pitch, can't pass.

I do truly believe he was a basket ball player in his previous life when newts passes go for us they do but he has also had some shockers in the past but today was good.

Did you watch the game, Newtons clever play and accurate passing led to all Fox's tries, It doesn't matter what style a player uses, so long as its effective.

Think we looked veryt balanced and we'll throw a few spanners in the works of teams that think we are one dimensional with dobbo

I did a bit of yarning today, 5 months catching up to do! haha heard some nice 'terrace rumours', They're always the best.

Everyone seems to think they can beat 'everyone but Wigan' this year, should be good

Looks good so far

100% agreed. It's called creative.

And Green was excellent, very impressed with him so far.

what was todays attendance?

Just over 4000 with about 12 from Salford. But it is a long trek for a friendly i guess.

Can't say much about the away following, in todays economic climate and their neck of the woods having heavy frost calling games off most fans would have decided not to plan to come to this game earlier in the week. I don't really think Rovers needed to open the North Stand when all those could have fitted in the Well or East Stand. As they tried saving a few bob by turning the lights off at half time I am surprised they wasted money on staffing that stand!!

I left the game feeling positive about the way Green went.

Green organised his side very well, with some great combos been played.
Just what we needed, along with some offloads.
Best thing for me upto now is seeing our goal line defence - obviously been worked on during the off season and once again in the friendlies were we have given away pens on the line to test ourselves.
