Walsall vs Bristol Rovers Boxing Day Match Thread

Camaaan Gas yous can do it. Good luck guys. Cheers evryone.

No Surrender, Johnson's a Bender!

Anybody else caught in the traffic??

True to form he has made 4 changes:

Drop Gaffney?? No Telford again But Nichols gets another chance somebody tell me why?

Strange that Gaffney is dropped and even stranger that Nichols gets a start. Saying that, I bet Nicholls will get a couple of goals now I've said that. I hope so.

Come on Gas, get back to winning ways today!!!

Pretty sure Telford will get recalled and DC will know that. As for Nicholls, hopefully his last chance to shine

We can moan all we want about DC's changes but it hasn't worked recently when he has kept what we perceived as our best team so he really is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't at the moment. When you're on a bad run sometimes it takes a player or two to put their hands up and play above themselves, and in doing so to inspire the rest of the team to that extra 5%. Every player in that team has shown that they have what it takes to play at this level, albeit not all of them consistently. I'm not putting it past an Ollie Clarke or a Tom Broadbent, players of undoubted character, to raise their game today. When the going gets tough.....

Im not sure what part of 4 games in 8 days people didn't hear.

Expect Gaffney to come on later in the game and for Harrison not to start the next game.
Telford will replace Bodin or Nichols today at some point.
Also expect Sercombe to be replaced by Sinclair second half.

Unless things don't go to plan that is......

I’d be very surprised if we get anything today! Not a fan of smith, Sweeney dropped which IMO is correct but the inexperienced Broadbent is a risk, mr speedy still at lb, wingers who aren’t wingers, out of form cm pairing and then that little muppet up top! Please prove me wrong gas!
