Hoping for a great, not a good Friday.
Everyone's concern seems to be the same, turning possession into chances and goals. Unfortunately Collins seems to have dried up again goals-wise and we are running out of time to find the right solution. Not sure I'd change much at home with our record so good this year, but we can't rely on worldies every game.
Yes if Evans is back, that definitely improves our set pieces, but we did manage to win our best games without him before so it is more than that.
Think we have to give Aaron some support up top. Nicho probably the one to lose out to give, I guess, Leon a start. Or maybe Saunders. JB obviously feels Loft isnt fit enough/tuned in to the team enough/ head in right place, which is really disappointing.
What would you do?

What ever happened to "Spence is the best finisher at the club?" JB was raving about him, but nowhere near the match day squad.

Time for Harvey Saunders I think alongside Aaron, hope Evans is fit for Friday a massive week for us.

I think we should stick with the 3 attacking mids playing around the number 9 and Collins should be that 9. Collins went on a great run where he scored around a goal a game for 9-10 games so he is capable. If it’s not working then I’d try Elliot there in the last 20 as someone Mentioned on here yesterday. He’s strong he’s quick he’s skilful and he can finish. |

This is a six pointer if ever there was one. A win could keep us safely in the playoff zone, a draw might just keep us there. but we can not afford to lose this one. Salford are in top form and could leapfrog us if they win. Our form is still good, but we cannot afford any slip ups with Port Vale and FGR to come. I hoped we could have put some daylight between us and the teams below us by now, but its still very tight.
Lets hope can get the win, consolidate our position and put a huge dent in Salfords challenge. UTG

I see they have released another block in the South Stand to Rovers fans. Rovers fans will have the entire stadium bar one block in the South stand

Chasing the playoffs and taking what, under 100? Lets hope we sell the place out. Should be near 10K with us having the whole east terrace |

Salford were a tiny non League club until the Man U megastars suddenly decided to pump millions into them and raced into the FL. That doesn't mean they are suddenly going to attract thousands of local fans, most of whom already support other League clubs. It takes time to build a fanbase. I can't imagine anyone thinking 'Wow, David Beckham is involved with Salford. I'll support them from now on'. |

I thought Nicholson looked a threat on Saturday and after he came off we were lacking an alternative to just giving it to Billy and seeing what he can do. Evans would make a big difference, too. Not the time to panic, I think. Collins has come good before and can again.

I dislike the hypocrisy of Gary Neville calling for more regulation in the Premiership, while his own club spend 150% of their entire income on players wages alone and are losing over £90,000 a week!  |

Yeah but it doesn’t sound good on TV / Twitter to be honest about it. |
