As things stand, I think I would be very happy if we could come home with a point, but football's a funny old game, so anything could happen. Expecting no team changes other than any that are forced upon us. Antoinne to come on in the 65th minute and score the winner maybe?

Whilst I understand the above, how many coaches do we have though? It seems like a new one gets appointed every month or two.

Not sure why this job is really necessary. How many coaches do we have now and after losing £40 million, I would have thought that these types of roles would have been the first to have their numbers cut. Good luck to him and I hope he does well, but a goalkeeping coach never sounded like a full time job to me.

Thought he played for Chelsea in days gone by.

Is it just me who finds that disrespectful to cabbages?

What is the record defeat in L1. Ipswich taking that record against the Sags would do nicely. It would be even better if Mark Ashton took the piss, Joey gave him a slap and found himself being charged with GBH.

So saddened by this awful news. The fear of progression and what lies ahead is almost as bad as the disease itself. My heartfelt best wishes go out to Marcus and his loved ones and I hope that he is able to benefit from anything that may help to slow it down. A City v Rovers benefit game sounds like a great idea.

Excellent. Nice to be reminded of what a bunch of deluded and gullible numbsculls they are ?

Not so gobby now that they are 16th in League 1 whilst we are riding high at 4th in the Championship though are they. We are 3 points from top of the table whilst they are 3 points away from the drop zone. Nothing seems to be happening with regards to their shiny new ground either, so they will be staying at their non-league ground for a long time yet. What is the date of Joey's next court appearance BTW?

Not on RobinsTV in the UK or abroad or via VPN airways as far as I know Major. Looks like we will all be scrambling for a dodgy stream. I'm sure there will be some links on this thread closer to KO time. What a bloody PITA. TBH, I would not mind paying a tenner for a reliable HD stream if I could find one.

As I said, we all see things differently, that's what discussion is all about. I doubt you will change my opinion any more than I will change yours.

All I'm saying regarding Wells, Dave is that one swallow doth not a summer make. I hope his improved form continues, but given the choice of Semenyo or Wells, there can only be one winner. If I had to chose between Conway and Wells for the other birth, then I would rather develop an exciting young prospect than go with a player I don't think really wants to be here. Whilst on the subject of forwards, I think Andi Weimann is a great asset (though I've never been quite sure what his best position is) but Chris Martin is well past his sell by date. Others may of couse see things differently.

May be your energy bills are starting to bite then.

Yep. Conway and Semenyo still look like our best forwards to me along with Weimann when he plays up front. Yes Wells scored and had a fairly decent game, but one goal is not enough to make me change my mind on him. My concern is what he doesn't do rather than what he does. At least I predicted the score right for a change. Decent overall performance by the lads and a bit of variation up top. Our defensive frailties would have been exploited by a decent side though Happy to take the win and 7th place and the positivity that now exists around the place. Blackburn are going to provide a sniffer test on Saturday though.

There is a reason why he did not start many games last season and I think he will be the one to make way for Semenyo when he's fully fit.

I see him jogging when he should be running. He closes down half heartedly, does not track back when he should and disappears for large parts of the game. Just how I see it, but others might see things differently.

Pring is a better LB than DaSilva and every time the ball goes anywhere near Zak Vyner it gives me the collywobbles. It would be nice to have Semenyeo for 90 minutes, but I guess he's not quite ready for that yet, however a very dangerous forward for us to have on the bench. I think Massengo is probably worth his place for the sheer effort he is putting in at the moment even if he is just trying to put himself in the shop window. Tommy Conway has surprised me this season and looks an interesting prospect, but Nahki Wells still isn't giving 100% in my opinion. I was wondering whether we could switch Andi Weimann and Alex Scott at various stages of the game to confuse the opposition and also switch the two forwards from left to right occasionally to see which is working best to add to the confusion. Plenty of options on the bench now for when fresh legs are needed or to tweak the formation later in the game. Prediction: Robins 2 Terriers 0

If we play the eay we have in the last 3 games, we can take all 3 points today. Who is fit will be key - If Antoinne and Andi are fit we could thrash them, especially if Tommy Conway is fit too. I know JD has had a couple of decent games, but I still think Cam Pring gives us more in that area of the pitch. If Andi plays in midfield, I am wondering which other two will be selected in the middle - one holding and one more attacking or as we are away from home, two holding midfielders. Sykes and Wilson both seem decent at RB but Alex Scott does a great job there too. My preference would be Sykes with Scott on the bench unless one of the 3 more forward players are not fit as he can play creatively in behind two strikers (which I think it is more natural position).

This is why they play in blue and white quarters. It is to designate that only a quarter of the city supports them. The blue half ceased to be many moons ago.

My son is taking part in a social experiment. he has to wear a Bristol rovers shirt for two weeks. So far he's been verbally abused, punched and and spat at. It will be interesting to see what happens when he leaves the house.

Nah, they have a decent human being in Dean Holden as caretaker, why would they ever consider such a scumbag as Barton - it would be hard to use his name to ever describe either decent or human. I suppose you could refer to him as a being.

Assuming there will be no streams tonight?

I'm not sure if you need ID, though I don't think we had to when my son left his ticket at home once. I would make sure you have some ID though just in case.

Alex Scott is no shrinking violet. He will know that COD doesn't like a tackle. He's a very decent wing back in my opinion.

Personally, I think this is our best team and formation as things stand until Semenyeo, Kalas and Sykes are fit again.
