  1. Holden said having played 2 games for England this week as well as our last 2 league games he could do with a rest, whereas JB is fresh
  2. From the Argyle forum: rgobenz Post subject: What a thoroughly horrible club. Posted: Sat Mar 17, 2018 5:57 pm Joined: Mon Nov 28, 2005 11:29 am Location: PLYMOUTH What a thoroughly horrible club Bristol Rovers are, no-one likes loosing and the banter is part of the game. But when you have grown men and women trying to break the cordon, to fight Argyle fans just because they are losing, damn Neanderthals! I hope they get a large fine and a few score banning orders, you can stick your GAS where the sun don't shine you horrible lot.
  3. Isn't that a bit pessimistic when we're in the top 6 already? We're due for a run of wins like we've done a couple of times already this season, the teams below us are nothing special.
  4. Once Bakes is back clean sheets will return. No need to panic we're still 6t h
  5. Looking at their forum they are likely to concede possession and try and catch us on the break even though they're at home
  6. Frankie must be gutted, having missed the United game he's now going to miss Man City as well
  7. I remember going to Bramall Lane in a 3rd round FA Cup tie in 1975 and Tony Currie scoring a classic free kick from long range in their 2-0 win over us (I think they were Div 1 at the time), anyone else remember that game?
  8. Gas fans unimpressed by recent interview with Wael where he outlines the planned ground improvements at the Mem: We are having a new shop and toilets.Defo ready for the Championship now. He also says he can't give a timescale for the job as it is "such a lot of work"
  9. I feel that we should win this one but then the last person to score for us there was Leroy Lita , our record against them is appalling.
  10. Looking at Wednesday's forum there's more pressure on them to beat us following Blades win last night moving them to top. If we could just get a good start the knives could be out for the Wednesday boss.
  11. I think some people on here being unfair to Magners: a) He wasn't being played in his best position (CB) b) He's hardly had any game time recently c) His long throws gave them problems all afternoon and created the winning goal for Flinty For me he did OK
  12. Bakes will be off Vyner on I reckon, Mags back to CB. We can win this
  13. Wright's on international duty for 2 weeks in November so he's got to make sure Pisano is available then so he's not going to rush him back and risk injury, he won't care so much if Wright picks up a knock
  14. We were definitely fragile at Brentford and to a lesser extent at Birmingham and Wolves but got some points because we can also score
  15. I think we're still a bit fragile away from AG, will be more than happy with a point
  16. I get the impression that the family gave Wael (the youngest son) Bristol Rovers as a toy to play with to keep him clear of their bank. Not sure the rest of the family have any interest in BRFC so the bank connection doesn't count for much.
  17. There has obviously been a big bust-up internally with Des Taylor following Pembo out on the same day, we'll probably never know what happened but it doesn't sound like it was a planned move. Pembo turned things around for us before LJ came in, during the 6 games he was in charge the defence suddenly became miserly, I'm sure he will be missed. Some on here say as defensive coach he must bear some responsibility for the defensive problems we've had this season but LJ picks who plays and the tactics so I think that's a bit unfair. I'm sure Pembo won't be out of work for long.
  18. At the game and would be 1-0 but for officials, sure we'll win this one
  19. It will be interesting to see the team selection today following LJ's comments about changes. With Bryan suspended Golbourne likely to come in (a better defender imo), I wonder if Engvall will play a part or even start, maybe as a wide player instead of Pattison? I also expect O'Dowda to figure somewhere, might he rest Tomlin to the bench to fire him up a bit?
  20. We've done a lot better than in the same fixture last season. However, done again on a set piece. Apart from Tomlin's free kicks around the box we don't score enough from them (eg 12 corners today) whereas other teams get most of their goals that way rather than from fantastic flowing football. We play lots of pretty football but still end up losing away from home, we need to learn how to grind out results in away games, we're currently a soft touch. Also need to score when we're on top, with Tammy having a bit of a lean patch someone else needs to step up to the plate.
  21. LJ said in press conference that Engvall not ready yet, should figure more from January
