3 MINs gone and im worried already - these lads look very good.

**paul_oshea** · 27/07/2011, 6:01 PM

And thats why

**born2bwild** · 27/07/2011, 6:01 PM

Ah for fyck's sake. Look at Thompson. Rubbish.

**legendz** · 27/07/2011, 6:02 PM

Terrible start.

**paul_oshea** · 27/07/2011, 6:03 PM

might not be a bad thing might sit back now though and not push too much, give rovers a chance to settle in and who knows sneak an away goal

**peadar1987** · 27/07/2011, 6:04 PM

Bad marking, great header, did really well to hold off the defender.

They're a class above Shams at the moment though. Compare the passing ability between the two sides. Kobenhaven are nearly as good as Sligo!

Just walked in after the goal.

Tommy O'Gara's are showing it. Walsh's have nationwide on.

**cornflakes** · 27/07/2011, 6:05 PM

these lads don't look great in defence to me

**DannyInvincible** · 27/07/2011, 6:07 PM

Despite the goal, Rovers are playing very well. Certainly doesn't look like a mismatch by any stretch in the opening minutes.

**paul_oshea** · 27/07/2011, 6:10 PM

YES they do DI, getting shoved off the ball far too easy, and that showed for the goal also. i suppose thats down to conditioning to an extent but they are a level above thus far.

**passinginterest** · 27/07/2011, 6:13 PM

Rovers responded well to goal.kept calm and well in it. Need to get to half time with no more disasters.

**paul_oshea** · 27/07/2011, 6:14 PM

dennehy isn't getting any support when going forward...

Thats how i see it, there is a lot of open space in midfield now. Just take it easy till half time, had copenhagen not scored they would have been applying pressure non-stop for the last 20 mins and draining rovers.

Keep it tight get to half time like this is decent. They were never going to win this 0-1 and they were never not going to concede a "result" always in this game would be a score draw, or score loss by 1. that would be a great achievement to get back to tallaght with.

**paul_oshea** · 27/07/2011, 6:16 PM

That Thomson lad hadn't a clue there.

**paul_oshea** · 27/07/2011, 6:19 PM

my stream is freezing a lot anyone got a better one?

The idea was right there execution was terrible, but now copenhagen will be aware of that set-piece move.

**DannyInvincible** · 27/07/2011, 6:19 PM

Rovers have been playing some lovely passes around the pitch and have had a fair amount of possession in Copenhagen's half. They're composed and men haven't been lacking. Of course, Copenhagen are very dangerous, but I'm taking positives from what I've seen. It's not a foregone conclusion.

**paul_oshea** · 27/07/2011, 6:24 PM

They have had a lot of possession because copenhagen have sat back further down the field and left a lot of room in midfield. When copenhagen have countered on gone one-on-one they are winning all the exchanges.

As i said if it gets to half as is, thats good going for rovers. These crosses have to be beating the first man.

What a save!
