Player Ratings

Paul Robinson – 6
Didn’t really have to make any important saves other than the one in the dying minutes.

Ryan Nelsen – 5.5
A bad day for the skipper. Caught out of position at times.

Chris Samba – 6
A good assist from the big man to recover from his mistake early in the game.

Andre Ooijer – 6
Didn’t have much to do in the game.

Gael Givet – 7
We’re begining to see class from him. Very hopeful Rover next season.

Stephan Warnock – 6
Played well but really unlucky not to score at all

Tugay – 6
Did okay to distribute the ball around.

Keith Andrews – 6
Invisible man for the game.

Morten Gamst Pedersen – 7
Showed class to put the correct crosses in.

El Hadji Diouf – 7
I’m convinced by today’s performance that he’ll hold the right flank even when Emerton returns.

Jason Roberts – 7
Finally scored a goal with a nice twist that totally out-played the defender

Benni McCarthy – 6
Needs to start in order to make things work. Don’t leave him on the bench anymore!

Aaron Mokoena – 6
Contributed nothing in particular.
Contributed nothing in particular.

Thoughts
We’re out of the relegation zone. Next game will be against Arse,it might be a tad too difficult? Nevertheless,it was a good performance by the lads today and the next game would be a big test of our resolution. Go Rovers!!!!!
