Hopefully the replay might be live on the BBC and hopefully Tom Davies will be back in a 5-3-2 . Leahy ahead of Little for me - not because of today’s goal but because Little looks awfully off the pace. We are in the draw ... have a lighter than normal ten days before we go again. It’s not all doom and gloom ! You do know they play on different sides of the pitch ?

Jaakkola 6
Little 6 Craig 6 Kilgour 6
Rodman 6 Ogogo 6 Upson 6 Sercombe 6 Kelly 6
Smith 6 Adeboyejo 6
Subs: Nichols 4 Clarke-Harris 6 Leahy 6
Crowd 3 (Rovers numbers and support was poor) Ref 7 Bromley 6 - for being well-organised and battling away. Dull game and a fair result.

Read that Manchester United have had an academy player in their team since 1937 till present day Does anyone know how many years rovers have had an academy player, ie lines , Richards, Lockyer, OC , kilgour Or has at some stage ie under McGhee we didn't have an academy player in the side With no match tomorrow, make this your Saturday homework !

He's only banned for one game which I assume will be cleared by the FA Cup game, would be interesting to know the answer if it was our game, I assume they'd have to play it? So what's the latest Sunderland can call the game off, are they now waiting to see if they pick up anymore injuries on Saturday? It’s off. That will be 6 weeks without a home league game. Bumper crowd for the Swindon game then ? I'm going to Bromley and Swindon game to get my fix

It's a shame it's off - cold have been a good time to play them. The C McLaughlin call up and current suspension is interesting. The FA suspensions page shows him being suspended for 1 game, ending on 16th November - so does that mean he would or wouldn't have been available on the 16th for our game - I don't know. This season yellow cards are competition specific, in that the accumulation of 5 (before completing 19 games) or 10 (before 37 games) applies only to league games - cards in cup competitions only apply in those games and a one match ban is given in that competition after two yellow cards. Even after reading the rules on the Suspensions pages I'm still not clear - will McLaughlin be banned for the FA Cup game or our game, I don't know, but if it is our game than surely there should be room for some sort of questioning of the league if we do want to play it. The danger now is that we play them in January after they have spent some of their newly acquired £10million, and we could be weaker through injury, our own suspension(s), or loss of key players. Sunderland scared of playing the mighty GAS

Is anyone else of the opinion League One is a bit, well, sh** this season? *Looks at top of table* Er, yeah. What's been a surprise is Pompey's and to a certain extent Sunderland's struggle. We look stronger than last season but without blowing any team away. Many teams are much of a muchness by the look of it so maybe a couple of surprise packages might make the top 6 in May, like Wycombe, Fleetwood and er ........ Rovers ! We still have many of the top 8 to play (JCH and THD badly needed by then, me thinks) in Fleetwood, Posh, Ipswich and Sunderland. Will also be interesting to see if Bolton do the unbelievable and get out of the bottom 3,

As everyone else has said, we only only sign players if others leave. The biggest talking point will be JCH. If he does go I would like to think GC will be given a small amount (maybe around 250k?) to bring in a replacement. Who else will leave? Maybe Bennet on loan but any new club will only pay a percentage of his wage. If Matthews gets fit by January then he may go out on loan. GC might try and ship Nichols out on loan but I don't know if anyone will take him. THD played his first game last week so will hopefully be like a new signing for the second half of the season. Same with Hare, but isn't he pretty much out for the rest of the season? So unless JCH goes, then I don't think we will bring anyone else in. Even if a few get loaned out.

Was a 4-5-1 formation with Adeboyejo taking the brunt of the dogging work up top, he was shot by 70 mins and was pleased to exchange with Smith and was rewarded with a generous round of applause

Having TDH and Sam Matthews back in the fold will be like new signings. Outgoings could well be: Bennett Nicholls Reilly Hargreaves (Loan) wouldn't get too excited about Matthews - I remember GC saying in the summer that Benno and him were surplus to requirements but they wanted to give it a go with us in an attempt to change his mind.

Only if the takeover happens or Nicho and Benno get moves, a fully fit JCH will get us going again in the final third, heading for play offs with a bit of luck. Think your right - Benno and Nicho out then we can get a proper left midfielder (although not many about) and another striker option to compete with Tyler and Vic. Two new'uns could propel us into the playoffs ( no more long term injuries to 1st 11 players too !).

Great result today and we certainly had to dig deep in the second half to hold on. In other news...MK Dons part company with Paul Tisdale after 8 defeats in 9 games. Were they not in the top ten fancied teams to go up at the start of the season ? It's a funny old game . www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50277858Really? Wow. Just about sums them up. 12 years at Exeter City and they give him barely more than 12 months, despite a promotion. Don't think they want to go back down again - judging by their results in the last 2 months and the way they played against us - they're heading down with Southend, and probably Bolton.

Wasn’t there but it’s great to hear Ollie Clarke had a good game. It’s fair to say he’s picked up a bit of criticism from our supporters since coming back from injury but as our captain and longest serving player I’m really rooting for him to turn it around and change opinions on him. and he's a BRISTOL boy !

Well said OP. We are a solid L1 side now - looking up and not down. The signings have been great,, Ed Upson rejuvenated and Alfie Kilgour a star in the making. Just wish we had more positivity on this forum. We know the owners have let us down with the training ground and the stadium but there's sod all we can do about that. I hope the crowds improve as I think GC, his staff and especially the players deserve it. Looking forward to Bromley in the cup and a rare 1st rd win

Spot on ... poor time to give away and has happened a few times now. Legendary GC team talk at half time and it’s 2-2 before the hours up. Please God he tells them to keep attacking and not defend deeper and deeper . This game is far from Over yet. I don’t think we have failed to win a game after establishing a 2 goal lead since we were promoted back into the football league.Close call today but some achievement though. really ? that's not a bad record and stat if true.

Well done Gas. Could've all gone pear shaped with that goal before half time. Resilient Rovers.
