    re: Team Against Cardiff

    And that's my view (without the detailed maths), re: the probability vs the possibility.

    We not only need others to 'fall away', but also us to put a better point haul together. Or, go on the most unlikely run.

    Now the super optimist can look at either of the above scenario's and keep the faith. Whilst the realists amongst us can harbour unrealistic dreams whilst accepting it's not likely to happen.
    If we are called Gary Bowyer we have to sit in the former 'camp' as that is our duty, but onlookers can hold with what their gut tells them.

    As you say Aucks, it's a real irony that many of us do not hanker over the glossy Prem stage, but the finances issue makes it a unwelcome necessity (for me at the very least).

    As for the Cardiff game, a month ago Cardiff were scoring frequently but conceding more. It looks as if Slade has gone for a much tighter formation in the last three games. This doesn't actually suit Rovers, as we look better when the opposition are playing an attacking game.
    I had a feeling this would not be a classic.

    Yes Auks the league can be unpredictable but at the moment Rovers are looking predictable in mid table.As Champs says,any team can beat any other team on a given day ..thats football.

    But just like last season ther

    re: Team Against Cardiff

    That's the thing guys, there's nothing wrong really with this league ie the 'excitement' of unpredictability (although BFC [in the Prem] did not actually concede 17 at CFC as 'predicted' ). But, all in it, being prone to varying degrees, means that those that get 'more of a handle on it' live in the top 6. Whereas we ???
    For all of the fairer minded supporters, it is not exactly the issue of GB's lack of carrying us up the table per se, it is the ominous spectre of the consequence of failure given our perilous financial situation bestowed upon us by some very silent omnipotent entities out over in another continent.
    I believe that is the overriding reason for unrest.
