But as dem dey remove injuries like we dey remove unwanted phone calls, e go dey sharp for dem!
Ismael, di Rovers coach, don tell him guys make dem keep eyes for second half. Na 12 goals dem don concede for second half dis season. Dem fit come quick quick come lose points if dem no carry head come. Southampton too dey face injury wahala, as few key players dey out. Dem go need push like never before if dem wan collect even one point for dis wetin we dey call serious showdown.
At the end of the day, wetin we fit expect? Both teams low on confidence, and e fit just end for one draw! Make we watch am dey go, because if dem no score that early goal, na struggle everything go turn to!
