So here we go then - first bread and butter game of MTs tenure, and the return of my favourite ever Gas manager 😍
Cheltenham on a brilliant little run of form - the king has helped turn them round.
With morale low, I'd probably take a point tbh.
Bet of the day will be both teams to score.
UTG!

It’s going to be a breeze today, we won’t be as wasteful in front of goal and should end up about 3-1.
Collins with a brace and Taylor getting the other. UTG

Morning, Gas ..
Tough one today facing a form team while ours has been disrupted by off field merry go round.
Big question of the day..
Which manager will receive more applause?
Welcome back, DC 💙
I'm gonna predict a home win by one goal.
1-0
Marquis.
A tough physical battle which we'll win the encounter but might surrender some stats like possession corners etc..
Good luck with history group day, I'll be on the road spending notes in some well known establishments.... although might swing by if those notes dry up so Harry can get his card out and buy something fizzy....
Enjoy the day and only Saturday at the Mem this year.
UptheGas!

Possibility of a 1-1 draw.
James Gibbons in the 9th minute.
OG from James Gibbons in the 50th minute.
Could win 2-1 if Rob Street scores a 68th minute OG.

The way both teams are playing at the moment I’ll settle for a draw

Could do with our strikers actually putting the ball into the onion sack, that might help.

Could be a frustrating game with the weather and all the recent upheavall. DC typically already doing a great job at Chelts too.
Play like we did first half at Crawley and find our shooting boots and we should have too much. Predicting a 2-0 HT lead and early goal back from Chelts and then a painful 2nd half
2-1 gas
Cox
Hunt Taylor Wilson Vale
Ward Finley
Evans
Thomas Martin Collins

It’s nice to be talking about football again instead of the usual circus!
Time for us to step on the gas and put Cheltenham away comfortably.
Who will get the biggest reception today MT or DC I’m not sure?
3 points today for the blue/black/yellow boys, let’s hope we are not leaving the Mem at 5pm today MT handed.
COYB!

Let’s hope the players are fired up for this one after Tuesday’s lacklustre display. Important to get off to a good at home START under the new manager.
Come on Gas !!!

I'd take a point now you've started the match thread that's for sure 😉 I think an edgy 2-1 but it is just results that matter at this stage. Performances can follow. |

Don’t forget people sat in proper seats in our new south stand for the first time.
This has long had the billing of being a special game today.
It was always going to be the anniversary game.
Then it became clear our greatest manager, at least of the last few decades, was set to return even if as opposition manager.
Then it was obvious it would be the first home & league game of our new managers Rovers career
Followed by the unveiling of the anniversary kit.
And confirmation by some that they’ll be able to sit in their new seats for the first time.
Let’s hope our players raise the bar for their new manager this afternoon.

A wet and windy day will sort out the men from the boys
Looking like a fairly easy to predict line up, the only issue at left back
We’ve all been banging on about our need to strengthen with quality in this area, let’s hope MT has a gem identified in this position
Trevor Clarke? Anyone know his situation? I’d definitely consider him and it would mean Vale could be deployed further up the pitch
I’d like to see
COX
HUNT
TAYLOR
WILSON
CLARKE
WARD
FINLEY
VALE
EVANS
THOMAS
MARTIN
big cheer for DC, then fully behind MT and the boys from the off!!
3-0 gas

Probably couldn't get a tougher game for a first home match. Local-ish derby, ex manager, not great form, going to be a battle! Not sure we have the type of player for a battle. Reckon DC will smell blood. Think it'll be a score draw, got a feeling Chelts will steal a 0-1?
