Robin101 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 24 hours to go, and I'm really quite excited! But do you think we'll risk JET and Baldock? I hope we do, because I don't think rovers will be pushovers. But, then again, losing one of those two could really screw our season! I reckon: Parrish; Maloney, Flint, Williams, Shorey; Wynter; McCloughlin, Pack (Reid?), Bryan; JET; Baldock. And 2-0 City! EDIT: I think we will miss Elliot in this game.

JamesBCFC Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm going to say Parish Maloney Flint Williams Shorey Wagstaff Pack Reid Bryan/McLaughlin depending on fitness of Bryan Jet Harewood Subs: fielding, wynter, o'conner, bryan/mclaughlin baldock, Not my personal first choice but what I think sod will pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 With the game off against Shrewsbury there's no excuses not to play a full strength squad or very very close to it. The competition is irrelevant, the opposition and associated stakes are massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I hope we do. We haven't got a game Saturday so I will be very disappointed if he doesn't play JET & Baldock. I think we will miss Marv tomorrow massively. Didn't think I would say that a few months back but we will be very lightweight in the centre of the park.

82ashton Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 With the game not being played on Saturday SoD can afford to go with his strongest side. I do have a feeling that Harewood may play though. Certainly agree that Elliot will be a loss in the midfield, it's where the first battle has to be won. I just hope we send them back across the river with their tails between their legs! Come on you Reds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTOR Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Haven't got a clue what SO'D will do for this game. He's actually quite unpredictable with team selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatchers Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 According to s o d in the Post , he was planning to make changes for the Derby by resting some players. But,as the Shrewsbury game was postponed he does'nt expect to make so many changes. Lucky us then. How could he not understand the importance of the result of a game against the gash, if not the importance of the JPT piddle pot competition itself.

How could he not understand the importance of the result of a game against the gash, if not the importance of the JPT piddle pot competition itself. Could've been worried about injuries or knocks to key players?? This is the Bristol Derby, bound to be a fiery affair and no doubt those mongs will be well up for it and try to kick the City players around the park. As important as this game is, there is a risk to get key players crocked.. something we could do well without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competition is irrelevant, the opposition and associated stakes are massive. But imagine that baldock gets his leg snapped in half by an over zealous derby 50-50 tackle. With his previous injury form I could understand if SOD chose not to play him, even if I would love to see a full strenght team out tomorrow. Sorry wrong quote added there. Should be taylor10.

I know it's a derby and that may lead to some tasty challenges, but we shouldn't alter our team because of it. I'd imagine the league game at Swindon will be equally hard fought and none of us would want us to drop players in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 the crowd numbers ought to push sod into a full strength squad,a good performance and win would certainly boost later numbers. if he plays a weak side and we get beat,how many wont bother trying it again this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WithywoodRed Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 O'Driscoll's no fool he will play a full strength team. If he doesn't serious eyebrows will be raised regardless of the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm sure SOD said earlier that cup rules prevented him from making wholesale changes. I expect to see Harewood in for Baldock, Shorey at left back, Wynter for Elliot and Parish in goal, apart from that it should be the same team as Gillingham.

Both teams will be up for it, but at the end of the day, you need to play your best strength squad in any "must win" game, and this is undoubtedly one of those! Add the fact that we have a squad of about 17/18 fit senior players and it's got to be full strength or near as damn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody phone. You can't wrap everyone in cotton wool though fella. SOD himself said that due to the Shrewsbury game being cancelled it allows us more time to recruit in the transfer market as well as play a very strong side. Keep playing Baldock and JET, need to keep scoring and keep the partnership flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the fact that we have a squad of about 17/18 fit senior players and it's got to be full strength or near as damn it! The point I was making is that no matter which way we dress this up.... it is a JPT game. The only reason we care is because it is against the Gas. I want us to give them a hiding as much as the next fan, but I would understand if from SOD's point of view having local bragging rights is not a top priority. I would love a full strength team to go out there and finally put to bed the last result we had against them- I just don't think SOD will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
