You been watching Terrahawks again?
True story - One of my mates once admitted to having a 'challenge wa*k' over a picture of Zelda from Terrahawks
I admit I've had worse....
Looks a dead ringer for my Mrs., in her younger days of course. |

Well done Jester ,glad to see you leading this one!confident we will win now!, BUT,this will be a big test of GC and his motivational skills as its exactly this kind of game ,against our fellow strugglers,that we have turned in some awful home performances this season.It could be wet ,windy but we must come out all guns blazing from the first whistle to last,aka first half v Posh.However i believe the recent departures and signings have greatly improved our chances of a strong finish to season as i dont think Kyle and Stefan were up for the fight, and there replacements have greatly improved the ambience and moral in the dressing room.Clarke looks a real handful and i reckon Ugo is set to become a gas legend, his sunny personality brightening the place up and lifting spirits ,something we have been missing post Ellis!So come on Rovers at em from the off and up Ugogogogogogogo! 3-1 Rovers

I expect exactly the same team as southend except lines in for suspended ollie clarke. Is he definitely suspended as there's still no suggestion on the FA website he's serving a bad and GC managed to dodge he question yesterday? Having said that Lines alongside Ogogo at home could be a better CM pairing anyway. I would prefer it myself if ollie clarke is ok to play as he drives forward and teamed up well with ogogo last week. Lines sits too deep for my taste despite his obvious footballing ability. |

Your not alone fella, Chasers used to be the spot. TBF they didn’t look that rough after dark. |

Feeling positive about this one. Fancy a 3-1 win for Rovers, with Tom Nichols on the scoresheet.

Fancy a positive team today and see no reason to keep the new striker on the bench, That will be too DCish and as we have tried so long to get a new striker and he is "one of the best in League 1 and a Championship player in the making" why leave him out as he is obviously better than what we have got and you play your best team. As I understand that Ollie Clarke is out I would play Sercombe in his proper position alongside Ogogo and play Tom Nichols on the left as he doesn't score many but assists a lot. My team would be
Bonham
Partington Lockyer Craig Holmes-Dennis
Rodman Ogogo Sercombe T Nicolls
Clarke-Harris Reilly
Subs Lines Smith Osho Jacubiak J Clarke Upson Deon Moore

Go 1 up then 2-1 down then win 3-2 - worried about Campbell for them! Their top scorer is Okinabirthie with 14 goals. At first glance that seems a strong threat upfront. However look at the stats. Hat trick against non league team in Checkatrade Cup. Hat trick against Bradford another struggling team. Take those goals away from the total and not looking so good as a consistent goal scorer hence I presume why they are at the bottom just like the Rovers without that consistent threat up front. For me this is a real 6 pointer. Shrews away record is poor so will GC go defensive and win 1 - 0 or 2 - 0 or go for bust as would have DC and win 5 - 1 |

Ah, always expect the unexpected with Bristol Rovers. I’m expecting exactly that - The unexpected. But if the unexpected is the norm it becomes the expected so ive already factored in that,meaning my expected team selection is in fact unexpected. I couldn’t agree more. |

Our goal was a penalty and their goal was following Martin getting sent off and was an unfortunate own goal by Leadbitter. I expect us to win today. Going to go 2-0. Massive game. |

Like the idea of Tom on the left and accommodates our new War Machine up front. |

Taking the water! Whose taking the water? You seem unable to read the full content or have a twisted analysis of what is written! If a team's top scorer as a player scores 45% of his goals (by 2 hat tricks) in 2 games out of a total 30 league 1 games plus Caraboa Cup, Checkatrade Cup and FA cup. Thus the games scored ratio is not consistent or prolific 1:5? As an added point one of the 2 games he scored a hat trick against Bradford the Shrews lost!! |

This is about a relegation six pointer as they come, win today and we could end the day as high as 17th but lose and we’ll be back in the relegation zone. If Shrewsbury are as bad away from home as their form suggests, we should be able to get a result but our home form isn’t exactly great either. Playing like we have in the last two games and exhert a bit of confidence and we should do well. Come on gas!!!

Nichols been our best player recently and playing him left mid doesn’t float my boat.
JC remains unlucky (been our most consistent player) but I think Parts can offer a touch more quality going forward. Reilly works his bum off but just think playing a proper number 9 will make TN even better.
If we need some positivity and creativity as the game goes on then we have Lines to come in. This looks solid defensively and should allow a platform for us. It could turn into a 4-2-3-1 at times with TN dropping deep in the ten role and the wingers pushing on.
Bonham
Parts Lock Craig THD
Rod OC Abs Sercs

Leave Serc's on the left wing and bring in either Lines or Upson for the CM role makes the most sense, although god knows what's going on with OC as he's still not appearing on the FA website has suspended. |
