Match Day Thread Bristol Rovers v Sunderland – Saturday 27th March - KO 15:00

I'd be happy with a point at posh tbh. I think we will beat everyone else and draw against posh and hull and that will be that. Promotion is our destiny.

 

It was a left field signing but the more i watch him the more i like him - grafts his arse off and is good on the ball as well.

 

Saw all their goals as they went in on Sky and Accys defending wasn't even pub team standard, the guy with all the goals scored a hat trick all within four yards of the goal and not a tackle in sight, he wont get that luxury against us.
they play open against us and we'll win, it's teams that sit in we have more problems wuth.

 

I really don't fancy Peterborough's last 5 games and then throw in us, they have a very tough run in. I give them another 15 points.

 

They will fold and we are promoted

 

As it stands promotion is ours to lose, it all comes down to who can keep their heads the best. For the last say half a dozen games and I'm including Wembley, we haven't been playing as well as we can do but we're getting the results - that can only put us in good stead when it comes down to the run in and playing the likes of Hull and Peterborough. Plus we have a head coach who's not afraid of making changes when things aren't going as he hoped.

 

They haven't got the squad depth to cope with injuries and suspensions like we have. And they havent got Like Onien obviously.

 

Maybe that was one of those minute things done at a world class level.

 

Donny van der Beek is a canny player. Any chance of getting him on loan?

 

And promotion is usually so easy as well ...

... happily Hull, Peterborough, Charlton, Blackpool and Oxford
all have to face Sunderland

 

Think Winchester has improved loads lately but didn't think today was his best game. He worked hard and made it difficult for them but thought he looked a bit nervous and his touch was a bit off. Saying that Scowen didn't really join in first half so he was a bit outnumbered

Think the midfield is LJ's biggest enigma. Not sure he knows what to do for the best at the moment
Leadbitter is calm and has a bit of quality on the ball. but slows the game down and tends to go backwards
Winchester and Scowen have energy and close things down but at the minute lack a bit of quality on the ball.
Then you have Power, O'nein and Neil with the likes of Maguire and O'Brien who can drop in.
Personally think we are better off with a three.
But I do like the way the likes of Leicester play with a solid 2 who play week in week out and build the team around them.

 

Not sure me heart can handle this until the end of the season

 

Devastated we can’t be there on Friday mind. SOL would’ve been packed.

 

Know what you mean Janey, these 1-0s are killers, mind it's nice when the 1 is to us

 

First championship away game? How many tickets will we get for Sheff utd? I've only for 22 points?

 

Accrington's defence would have conceded 5 against a Sunday League team today. They were atrocious!

 

Winchester is an excellent footballer
