I assume no Rollin today as I haven't heard anything about an appeal over his red v Plymouth, also Ollie is suspended for 5 yellows in the league. So 442 with Craig and Kilgour plus Little and Leahy full backs, Upson, Ogogo*, Sercombe and THD/Rodman, JCH and big Vic up front? *Ogogo has to avoid a yellow to be available v Ipswich If Rollins red hasn’t been appealed I’ll be amazed, such a clear dive from Byron Moore so hope he’s in, otherwise you could bring back Rodman at wingback and tuck little into the 3. I don’t like to predict scores but I’ll go vague and say a low scoring win Kevin Maher said no Rollin and Tom Davies. So agree Rod a 4 - 4 -2 most likely but still a conundrum for GC. Leahy or Kelly at LB, but more so the 4 in midfield - he can choose from Ollie, Rodman, Ogogo, Upson and Sercs. I'd personally go with Rodman on right, Sercs on the left and Ollie and Ogogo in the middle, Upson to have a break. Would go for Smith and JCH rather than 2 big guys up front, so Adebojeyo on the bench for me. question for everyone. Just think with 20 mins to go and GC wants to stick a 3rd sub on to get a winner - who would you put on ? Nicho or Benno ? or is your answer neither

Gotta be Mark McGhee for me, never seen a man treat a full time position with such disregard before, must’ve had balls of steel! You mean for least favourite right ? otherwise you're confusing us thickoes !

Home against Plymouth 1976 I think. Can't remember much but records show a 1-1 draw, 43 years on and nothing changes. Where's the youngsters on here ? We're all at the waiting for God stage looking at the dates. the young 'uns use twitter ! or we haven't got any It would be interesting to know how many U18 season ticket holders we've got ? I'd guess about 400 ??

A big fat meh from all 4 interested parties I should think. If you win, you're in the draw for the next round - more money for the club and a potential exciting draw in the next round

17th April 1976 at Eastville against Southampton. Rovers won 2-0 both goals scored by Frankie Prince. Good job we won and I was hooked by the Tote End roar from that day because my second game was a 5-1 home drubbing by Wolves! Yes I can remember that Wolves game - we got pummelled as the score suggests - think it was xmas/new year game - remember also that we had to park way up Muller Road towards The Mem - when that happened you knew it was a big crowd. My first game was Feb 1973 - Gas 2 Bournemouth 0.

THD is different class in the way he reads the game, wins tackles and creates space for himself. He was a breath of fresh air came he came on the other week. With him, Clarke-Harris and Hare fully fit, our attack would be on a par with our defence, Smith could feed off the crumbs and our midfield could play more on the front foot. THD didn't even make the bench yesterday - I hope that doesn't mean he's injured again.

Why make a political statement on a football forum ? Bit silly really.

Getting back to Luke. I watched the dev game v cheltenham and he had a very good game, also scoring a cracker from outside the box. My impression of Luke is that he's a jack of all trades- type midfielder but no outstanding single quality. Nevertheless a tidy player. Maybe L1 might be too high a level for him but he is still developing - is he from the same age group as Alfie Kilgour ?

A game like this should be close to a sell out. Disappointing if not. really ? this is FA cup rd 2, a higher level team playing a lower level team and Rovers home gates are only averaging around 7,500.

Exclusive: Why Bristol Rovers want to forge closer links with Bristol City. ..Um...we don’t. The sh** have 28 first team squad players, and 15 out on loan. There are approximately 4,000 professional footballers in England alone, why would we even begin to entertain the thought of having any of their cr**? Get and shove it. UTG! maybe because their players live locally, so won't need to relocate and they play for a higher level club ? Not saying i agree with it btw.

What happened to Chris exactly here. Like mentioned above I thought he came across really well half of last season as gc no2 not sure why he needed to be replaced even by those other two who to me don’t sound anywhere near as competent. Wish him well Chris he’s done a good job here Like most managers GC wanted to bring in his own men, I guess CH was lucky he could revert back to his Academy role and not just get shown the door. He was the Development squad coach under DC and now runs the academy - so that's a demotion I'd say.

That was a belting game if you were a neutral. When they equalised it was like losing but right result in the end even compensating for that clown of a ref. Ollie Clarke was immense yesterday, all of the decisive midfield stuff came through him, definitely man of the match. Great atmosphere and when that winner went in and the whole ground fell silent was priceless. Bring on the Argull..... Great to hear that OC was back to his best yesterday. I've only been able to get to the Bolton game so far this season due to work, which was absolutely abysmal and OC was one of our worst offenders that night. I had thought that it was down to a lack of confidence, and thankfully that seems to be true. A fit and confident OC is a great midfielder at this level. Long may it continue. unlucky son, by far our worst home performance.

Great win from the boys ! When did we last score 4 in an Away league game ? answering my own question we hit 6 past northampton in oct 2017. this season it's the first time we've hit 4, home or away. last season we did it once in a 4 - 0 v blackpool. who is our 2nd top scorer in the league ?

Great result particularly as our top player wasn't playing, we could be in the race for promotion this season. In the video clip there were two strange decisions the penalty that wasn't given and the goal that was disallowed. agreed. Don't forget Davies being absent doesn't help. When is Davies coming back, anyone know ? What injury has JCH picked up ?

Very good header from Craig and almost an identical one from Kilgour - which led to the disallowed effort.

Steve, your generous with the Mark Little comment - created the 2nd goal - that was a lucky shank more likely

Par for the course for Ricketts, he'll get a lot of stick at The Mem.
