A last minute goal has just rescued the monkey hangers from non-league, and sent Newport down. Fine margins. Tomorrow is going to be stomach-churning.

Newport won didn't they and sent Hartlepool down?

Well it looked that way until a last last minute Newport goal sent the monkey hangers down!

I know people want us to really go for it tomorrow but we need to be careful. If we go all out early and concede forest and big club will know that they don't need a win and can start playing careful stuff. 

Ideally we play nice and safe get an early goal and keep the pressure on the other teams to do their part. Then pick up a second in the second half.

It's a case of "listen to what I say and work out what I actually mean dumbo" ?

I think big club will go for it as they know a win will see them safe. That could bite them in the ass and hopefully it does. 

I think forest will try something similar to us and keep it tight attempting to Nick a goal. 

My nerves will not be good tomorrow. 

[davulsukur]

Less than 24 hours and we will know our fate. 

Nerves are already kicking in.

I think Forest will win but Brum won't and Rovers won't.

I'm also the worlds worst tipster.

My thoughts too....Hope I wrong and I am going !

[JAL]

Good luck Rovers tomorrow !

But one has to say that all the guys, playing, managing and coaching, have consistantly shown, that your not good enough for this division whoever you might be.

I'd line up:

Raya

Lenihan Ward Mulgrew Williams

Lowe Guthrie Bennett

Emnes

Graham Gallagher

Lenihan at right back?

What wrong with playing the team that won last week. 

Stick to 3-4-2-1 formation. Lenihan, Ward and Mulgrew look solid at back. Ward leads the back 3 but for me too slow to play in a centre back 2. 

Yes we have to win but we down want to over attack early on and be 2 nil down after 10/15 mins. 

Lets hope the players and Mowbray can win tomorrow and still up this season

Come on blues tomorrow.  I'm over in jerez and will be at the moto gp when we are playing so my son's will be texting me as things develop!!

The time to go for more goals was last weekend against a Villa side that didn't turn up but we took our foot off the gas after we scored and was happy to sit back and make sure of the three points, I really hope we don't regret that as it could easily come down to goal difference. If both Birmingham and Nottingham Forest win we'll need to win by a minimum of three goals (could be even more if Forest win by more than one) and as already mentioned on here the only time we've won by more than one goal this season was against Rotherham at home. I expect us to play in the same 5-4-1/3-4-3 shape we've been playing with recently and I fully expect the same starting line-up as well. We'll try and grind out a 1-0 and hope that either Forest or Birmingham fail to win. One good thing is we are likely to have plenty of attacking options on the bench to bring on if we need a goal or two, maybe it could come down to a Emnes, a Joao or a Mahoney coming off the bench and making themselves a hero. One things for sure it is certainly going to be tense, just watched the League Two relegation battle and I was getting anxious watching that and it wasn't even involving Rovers! Gut feeling is Forest will win at home to Ipswich and it will be one of us or Birmingham to go down.

[Claytons Left Boot]

Forest to win at home to Ipswich

Bristol City to win at home to Birmingham

Rovers to win 1-0 at Brentford

Rovers to stay up and delay the inevitable 

[Rover_Shaun]

If we win I will put tuppence on a Mercerman tip

[J*B]

The only good news is by this time tomorrow we will be rid of Mercerman.

Come on Rovers! all the best to avoid relegation. Get behind the team tonight and then will come the time to demand responsabilities

if the worst happen and we go down then lets do a Bolton and come  straight back up, however with our owners who knows

[TurkishDelightFan]

Bring on the Stanley!

[Mr. E]

Well, the day is upon us.

Victory will mean, at least, a few more gasps of air. But if we go down...

[Leonard Venkhater]

 

[RV Blue]

Same team as Villa for me. Win it (by any score) and we've got a half decent chance of staying up.
