... and we are playing Bristol Rovers this evening.
Going for a 2-1 win
Crowd 6,002
FFS CBR
Will the captain of the ship be playing in midfield, will Thomas have a black beard (?)

Love your optimism Frogpole, I will go for a 1-2 loss and a crowd of no more than 4500. On the other hand another win would give us some much needed funds including a not inconsiderable prize pot and a share of the gate receipts at Norwich. Could this give us the leeway to loosen the purse strings in January?Originally Posted by frogpole

The extra 'booty' would come in very useful.
Am just hoping for a swashbuckling performance from us tonight
Hall Of Fame
Cooney on the bench, with Nev
Zac Williams makes a very welcome return to the starting XI
Rowe, Tracey and CBR up front
Agius and Robinson also on the bench
Not quite sure how we are going to line-up, presumably Adebisi will play on the right, with Zac on the left

Didn't see much swashbuckling in the first half. In fact, it resembled walking football or football by numbers. Lots of opportunity to shoot before they scored but no-one wanted it.
Talking of which, Tracey was a study in 'couldn't be arsed'. Thought Billington was doing well before being taken off.
Not sure why Offord got MOTM for this game. I suppose Mickey can't be given it every game.
CBR is definitely on a referee's list somewhere. He gets battered every game but still gets booked.
Why didn't the referee notice the "falling down disease" spread throughout the Bristol team?
Excellently worked goal by Nevitt.
Will we see Long again?

I thought we played ok in the first half without actually creating anything. Their finishing was very good but a mistake led to the first goal, not sure if it was Mickey or Williams. Not sure what happened for their second whether it was a goalkeeper error or not. I thought Williams was fouled seconds before the third went in. Second half was very good and if the own goal hadn't happened it could have been a very interesting finish.
One thing is certain, this team doesn't give up. Even at 4-0 down. They show more fight than any team we have had for some time and it is enjoyable to watch.

They certainly don't - that team spirit is definitely still there.

Just seen Lee's post-match interview, and he picked up on the fact that we didn't get beyond their (deep-lying) back-line often enough in the first-half.
Never seen LB so annoyed - with 'schoolboy' errors leading to all their goals.
Fingers-crossed for Accrington at the week-end.

I thought his view of the game was spot on. We played some nice football in the first half without ever looking like scoring and we were poor in both boxes.
Hall Of Fame
Well he was walking freely at the start of the game to take his seat, and LB did say after the game we have some injured players back shortly (Longy and Tabs?) so i hope so.
On Tracey my neighbour and I felt he was off the mark throughout, just seemed without his usual acceleration, maybe in need of a rest and maybe should have been subbed earlier.
