Table looking a lot healthier than this time last week. We have played more games than almost everyone below us. Yes and we’ve got a tough run of fixtures coming. But if someone had’ve said 12 months ago that we’d be mid table in League 1 in October this year, we’d have all laughed at them. So let’s enjoy it while we can. UTG!

Only 5 points off the playoffs as it stands… 👀

I’d quite like to see it as a 4-3-3, think it better suits the players on the pitch.
Belshaw
Gibbons Hoole Thomas Gordon
Rossiter Finley Evans
Coburn Loft Collins
But I suspect it will be 3 at the back.

I was thinking 4-3-3 too. Seems too many centre mids on the pitch for 3-4-3, so 4-3-3 with either Coutts or Whelan at centre back would make sense. Whelan at centre back would make sense? We all know what happened last time! 😂 Haha would make sense in terms of fitting the players into a system, I never said it would make sense for effectiveness.

We might be getting close to the end of permanent deals very soon. With loan signings being made to complete the squad. If the loan signings are as good as last years then we’ve got an exciting few weeks to look forward to! UTG!

As much as I understand the motive behind going cashless and encouraging people to use cards, I do think there should be the odd cash option.
I use my card 99% of the time now but I always carry cash with me because I hate not having any if needed. And a couple of times it’s paid off because the card machines haven’t worked. Relying on electricity/technology is all well and good but we still need to remember that it does fail from time to time and not having a back up option is ludicrous in my eyes.

A replacement for Evans being lined up should he leave?? Possibly, but I think he’s also capable of playing a bit deeper alongside a holding player in midfield. Good on the ball to be a capable playmaker but also has the defensive work rate to play a box to box role. Not just the haircut and the Chelsea link, but he reminded me a lot of Conor Gallagher (at Palace last year) when he was here.

been told we are after him and local bristol lad Will Tizzard from southampton. Be a bit surprised if City didn’t want Florini to step up to the championship next year, given he had a good loan spell at Lincoln in League 1 last year.

Would we be entitled to compensation if he is out of contract? For players under 24 (I think it’s 24) yes. As long as they are offered a new deal on equal or better terms is the requirement I think. It stops young players running down their contracts and leaving on a free. Just googled it and this was the first website that came up. fullcontactlaw.co.uk/2016/11/compensation-players-24-mystery/

Everyone referring to Evans as a free agent, I’m sure someone will correct me but aren’t we entitled to a compensation fee as he’s under 24? Although I know it will be nothing compared to his actual value. Would we be entitled to compensation if he is out of contract? For players under 24 (I think it’s 24) yes.

I’m also Northern (compared to Bristol anyway), so League 1 is a great league next year in terms of being reasonably local and some big grounds to visit as well.
Sheff Wed, Barnsley, Derby, Lincoln, Peterborough are my picks.

I wonder if Lee Brown might be available as Wimbledon were relegated? WYHHB I thought the same of Luke McCormick, seems to have had another good season in a struggling side.

Bad night. Unlikley to jump over 3 teams with only 2 games left. Hope we do the job and comfortably seal our play off place. We’re obviously not going to be favourites given we’ve got 3 teams to get past but all 3 have got games that I could see them slipping up in, and we’ve definitely got a chance of taking 6 points from 6. The odds are against us but there’s definitely hope yet.

Hope Exeter go and win their last 2 games and win the league now. Both for Rovers sake given who they’re playing, and they were my pre-season bet to win it.

Surprised Evans has made 19 more fouls than any other player! Still my player of the season so far. Interesting that the 3 players mentioned would not have been expected to be so influential, or even in the first XI at the start of the season. A mention for Aaron Collins as most improved player after a slow start Collins has certainly improved yes but I’d also probably put him down as most underrated. Very rarely gets any fuss or massive plaudits about him but consistently puts in a shift, works his ar5e off and has good all round play. He’s also got 11 goals in the league so not too bad compared to some previous strikers. If he could continue his form from the second half of this season into next year and become a 20 goal a season man, then I think we’ve nearly got the perfect all round striker. UTG!

Have Rovers sold out ticket allocation? Pete Weymouth has just made his tweets protected so can’t see those updates any more unfortunately. The last I saw Yesterday morning he said there were around 100 left of the 1300 allocation.
