[chaddyrovers]

Is anybody even bother about it?

What team would people play?

My team would be:-

Steele; Lowe, Ward, Hanley, Doyle; Lenihan, Evans, Gomez; Mahoney, Graham, Marshall.

Subs:-

Raya, Duffy, Kilgallon, Akpan, Conway, Brown, Jackson

[Mattyblue]

Play some young lads... including Raya.

Can't face seeing the usual suspects.

[tomphil]

Raya

Henley Hanley Ward Killa

Conway Evans Lowe Marshall

Mahoney

Graham

subs: entirely made up of kids except Eastwood, fook the rest of em !

Rovers 1 Bristol C 0

Marshall

[K-Hod]

I can't go as I'm doing the 3 Peaks tomorrow, hope we give some of the kids a chance to prove themselves with what remains of this outhouse of a season!

Put Raya in for Steele and i'd go for the same.

Rovers 1 Bristol City 1

Brown to climb off the bench and scuff one in the bottom corner in the 88th minute to rescue a point

(It's going to happen)

Good luck mate, done this twice and doing it again next month... it's bloody tough! I've done the GB 24hr 3 peak challenge and I'd say the Yorkshire is worse.

No it isn't!

[CAPT KAYOS]

Probably be better if all could pretend it was 'Bristol Rovers' playing them - at least you could add the Derby affect to it then to make it more interesting.

Season is over.

Last Saturday was a waste of time!

Going golfing this weekend.

[Tom]

Had no idea who we were playing.

17-0 Rovers

[oldjamfan1]

You can add me to the list of folk that won't be going. First 3pm Saturday home game I've missed without good reason for many, many years.

Although I think "not being able to face the 450 mile round trip to watch a half hearted performance from blokes who couldn't give a toss about the club" does, in fact, constitute a perfectly good reason actually.

At least I should be able to get my grass cut.

[PLJPB]

Also missing the game out of choice for the first time I can remember. Jolly Boys day out in Lytham versus being bored stiff for yet another 90 minutes with nothing to play for.

Sad to say no contest. I hope my enthusiasm returns ready for the start of next season.

[Neal]

Could go but I won't. Rather put on a few bets and relax than go and let that lot ruin my weekend. I'd play all the younguns.

[A cup of beans]

Against all expectation, I just hope for a win and a decent performance.

I just pray we /I dont have to put up with Gomez flouncing around, and Brown bumbling.

[Tom]

I actually enjoy end of season games when there is little pressure and some younglings may get a shot

Madness isn't it. There was a time when I could reel off our next 6 fixtures.

Another 5-3.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

It's got a low scoring draw written all over it. That'll suit both teams. If we had some good young players I'd give one or two a chance. Thing is I don't think we have.

Depressing.

[JAL]

Paul Lambert did say the players had nothing prove these last six games.

I'd relax Grant and Ben Marshall from this game and give them the weekend off if not rest of the season and say see you lads after the summer.

[Mike Graham]

I must remember who has my ST. I must also remember to take a good crossword puzzle.

I expect a "real" gate of sub 8,000 although it will be advertised as 12,750'ish.

I hope that CB gets a goal before he is destined for the likes of Colchester, Darwen or Chorley.

Hopefully because the majority of them have already proven they aren't fit to wear the shirt.

Can see their forwards troubling our defence all afternoon. 2-1 to the visitors.

I'd rest Grant for Duffy and see if he can redeem himself.

I'd also swap Brown for Mansell.

[Crimpshrine]

I'm missing this too but I guess absent season ticket holders still count on the attendance figures.

Manchester Punk Festival instead this weekend.

I would play Duffy - I know his errors have been costly recently but I think he has potential and he will learn with experience. He won't get experience sat on the bench. I think he will come good eventually.

Raya should start, Mahoney again and why not try the young left back. Nothing to loose. I think this will make it more interesting for the folk who do go.

[G Somerset Rover]

I'd go:

Raya

Lowe Hanley Ward Doyle

Benett Lenihan Evans Mahoney

Marshall

Graham

Also, get the likes of Mansell, Nyambe and Rankin-Costello on the bench and dependant on how the game is going, potentially give one or two some valuable minutes. What on earth is the point in throwing the likes of Brown or Jackson on in a dead rubber like this? They're not good enough, never have been, and need to leave.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Who's Doyle ?
