Bristol Rovers match thread

[Redraine]

In our current form I can't see why we shouldn't get a result here. After all, we have beaten them already this season and they are not now desperate for points. Peter Murphy to score a last minute special with a bullet header from a Wilson corner!

Hope yer right mate, reckon 1 pt is a very big ask down yon.

Difficult to see any points coming from this match but I will live in hope, when you expect nothing anything you do get is a bonus.
The performance against Morecombe was impressive, Stanley quickly closed down and harried the Shrimps when they were in possession of the ball, and as I’ve said many times before I think Stanley look a much better team when Beattie is not on the pitch,

No matter what any of us thinks about any player, at this crucial stage of the season "All" players need full backing from us all in my view.

(Sorry Cashy) but if I believe a player is having a negative effect on the teams performances, then given full backing to his team selection would be against the team’s best interest

Looking at the form guide that was posted on another thread, there is absolutely no reason why we cannot get something out of this match. As I am posting this on Tuesday morning prior to the match, it will be interesting to see the results of tonight's matches and what will be required, points wise. However, I will not say we are safe, until the day we mathematically are!!

As things stand mathematically, before tonight's games, any one of eight teams (Daggers downwards) could end up in 24th place.
No-one is yet 'safe', unless by that you include still being at risk.
The Gasheads will be playing for professional pride in front of their last home crowd of the season, and will be looking to repay their fans for a miserable start to the season. Last season's fixture was a painful affair for Stanley, and th'Owd Reds will have to be solid and together to come away with a point. But they can do it.

Sadly I can't go to Bristol as I have to go to a wedding in Newcastle. My daughter is a bridesmade for her best friend. No reason why we can't get something from this game and i am sure the team will be going for it. Shout and sing a bit louder for me please and here's hoping we come away at least with a point if not all three!! COME ON THE REDS!!!

Does anyone know if Jeffers will be available, or is he a write off for this campaign?

Interesting comments from Franny himself and from Leam on the club website. It shows how important to us are experienced professionals such as Franny and James Beattie.

If you're looking to pre-book tickets for tomorrow, I've been unable to get through on the number listed on Stanley's web site. I got through on the club's main number.
