Right you bunch of wet wipes , looks like I’ll have to start the thread.
🙄
Big game today that I’d argue is more important than the Norwich game . A win and we make a massive statement and go within 6 points of them.
No idea what team we’ll put out or even if the manager will be there !

Hoping the sideshow of the FA cup doesn’t distract the players
From the outside it looks like we have shot ourselves in the foot a bit by diminishing our central midfield options
Ward out is a massive blow
COX
BEEFY
TAYLOR
CRAMA
THOMAS
GRANT
FINLEY
VALE
EVANS
MARTIN
COLLINS
I feel Josh could do a decent job as a holding midfielder alongside Finley, meaning Evans can play further forward.
The other option is to play Evo in the middle and have McCormick behind the front 2
Need some reinforcements for sure, long horrible trip up there and we must pray for no more knocks!
Not sure I’ve ever known a season like it in all my years following the gas where we have so many injuries!!

We travel north with the slain corpses of other promotion hopefuls draped over our handlebars. Another full week with our new leader feeding the troops with his knowledge. It is our time, we are Bristol rovers, Luke Thomas hatrick, 3-0. Playoffs do not beckon, they cower.

I’d take a point now but think we’ll lose by the odd goal, 2-1 hope I’m wrong of course UTG

Very important game. A win and we close the gap on Barnsley. A loss, playoffs go further out of reach and confidence could drop for next week.
I believe these players will have Norwich in the back of their minds and I don't blame.
Win would be great! But I'll take a draw away to to a playoff side.
1-1

Think we can win but need Super John on for 70, then switch to Coldplay, 1 2 away win with Azza and LT scoring.

I presume that the gaffer is on husband/parental duty (any news on that yet?) so who’s going to be leading from the dugout, JMcA or KB as he did the presser? Will the boys give MT a double celebration?

Pity we are missing key players but Barnsley's recent home form hasn't been great.
One of my work colleagues is a Tyke and reckons it will be a draw with us scoring late on. I'll take that...

Usually I’d take a point at Barsnley, but it’s win or bust today if we want to push for the play offs. This is a must win game IMO

Huge game today, gone under the radar abit with all the FA Cup excitement. We need a win to really start pushing towards the play off mix.

A draw will be fine
As long as we capitalise on the run coming up
If we are to reach the top 6 the games over Jan/Feb will be where we MUST WIN
BLACKPOOL (h)
EXETER (h)
OXFORD (h)
EXETER (a)
FLEETWOOD (h)
BURTON (h)
Can we put a fortress like run together?
After that it’s winnable games in Stevenage, Northampton, Carlisle, Leyton Orient
So although I agree today is important, it’s not throw the toys out just yet!

Just the sort of game I fancy us to play well in. Not gonna be easy and could go either way. Cut out the mistakes or it’s another Blackpool instead of Bolton
Think Dan’s post team is probably right, but I’d start big John and only bring Martin on once he’s done the work of 15 Martins.
Clean sheet please!
0-2 (Thomas, Martin)

Cox
Thomas, Grant, Taylor, Crama, Vale
Finley & McCormick
Evans
Marquis & Collins
I’d start Marquis and Collins as the forwards will need to do a lot of work pressing and we will need Collins if we are likely to be playing on the break. Grant will probably keep his place having done well last week and McCormick has the energy to replace Ward.
I’m going for 1-1. UTG

I presume that the gaffer is on husband/parental duty (any news on that yet?) so who’s going to be leading from the dugout, JMcA or KB as he did the presser? Will the boys give MT a double celebration? I think he just wanted to be at the birth and being in Barnsley around the due date wasn’t going to be helpful! Hadn’t he relocated to the West Country? If so, I doubt he’ll be taking paternity leave, and getting to the training ground and games and then home again each day should be doable so expect him to be back in the dugout for Norwich. |
