Like others, actually excited for a Saturday game for the first time (since Swindon was called off!). This is going to tell us a lot. Rovers pre Barton have generally failed to capitalise on a good performance to build a run and beat the lower placed teams. Hope he has them just as earger to fight for every ball, press high and score goals. Dont think we'll keep a clean sheet, but a 3-1 or 3-2 win likely! Gotta to be the same starting 11 for me.

Like a couple of people have already said,this is the acid test,can we follow up a good result and performance with another similar display and result.The last time it happened was wimbledon away followed by plymouth at home and quite a few on here were waxing lyrical about Tisdales new Rovers and look how that turned out.I am more positive about JBs Rovers and although I think it will be a very tough game I reckon we have enough about us now to pick up 3 points,fingers well and truly crossed.

We already know what it will be. The beautiful sight of Luke Leahy appearing like a vision at the far post. Amazing when we attack it’s like we have a winger, a full back and a 3rd overlapping wing back. I will name this individual the Holy Ghost of the left hand side. Sadly like the Holy Ghost, Luke can be almost invisible in defence and at points provides as much protection as a wisp of sacramental incense. He is 4-1 to score anytime during the game

Strange though it may seem after Tues, but i am very nervous about Sat match, for no other reason than after supporting Rovers all these years there have been so many times when we have managed to fall flat on our face when you least expect it, hope i am wrong and instinct tells me JB will not allow any complacency to creep in and we simply have to approach the game in the same way we did v Stanley, can JB instil the right attitude into the players? hope so or else......! Yeah it would be classic Rovers to follow up a great performance and 4-1 win with a dire performance and 1-0 defeat at home to a side lower than us. Seen it so many times over the year’s. Hopefully JB can keep their feet on the ground and avoid the after the Lord Mayors show type of performance.

I don’t want to get too excited, because everytime I do we always end up being rubbish.

Great listening to that interview. Think about it, when was the last time we had coaches like this that were performing at the TOP level as players just a couple of years ago and now they're working in tandem for The Gas? It's mad. Another point he makes, and believe me as someone who hasn't been 'home' in over 10 years, Bristol is a BEAUTIFUL city and that makes me really proud they seem to appreciate that. Buzzin' about tomorrow. Now I don't want to get carried away and I know it could all go flat, wrong, t*ts up but, Wimbledon might also find themselves on the receiving end of a proper hammering tomorrow. Come on you Blues. UTG!

Sorry guys, ran out of time today for my big ramble about what to expect etc... but here is a snap shot that I have been working on to make it easier for me going forward AFC Wimbledon summary: Enjoy and feedback is always welcome. (Ideally I would have a Rovers version of this to compare against. In time I will) Cheers UTG

Moved house recently and still not fully sorted so may have missed the coaching situation. With JB and his assistant now here do we still have all the previous Guys on our coaching staff?

Yup 👍🏼 Although Bryon has gone to Cardiff I think or Swansea Also Coles came back as GK coach JB also brought Andy Mangan with him and they are loving with Eddy Jennings but unsure if he has a role at Rovers

Up to the Accrington game I was feeling resigned to a season of despair and relegation. However that result may be the turning point. This team has shown it can compete with and defeat better placed teams (eg Portsmouth, Shrewsbury and Accrington). Carry that performance onto tomorrow and subsequent games please. If done we will survive.

Really enjoyed Clint's interview and good call for him to give one as it kinda introduces him to us, like how he brought up Barton getting stick after the red car against us!
