[JacknOry]

Far too much for them - they will come to park but with the quality up front we have and what we will no doubt have from the bench now...im going 3-0

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Somebody is going to get a tonking off this Rovers side...so going 5_1

 

 

 

 

 

No doubt the cobblers will nick it 1 0 now.

Welcome back Merce.

Just an observation, but in recent years I remember many a match thread still on the first page by KO. Now it couldn’t be more different, yes it’s the third tier, but it isn’t it great to be on the up for a change!

[robbojohnno]

I think it could be a high scoring one here. 5-2 Rovers.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Promotion is in our hands,make it count today Rovers ..no mercy!!

[47er]

Nervous as a kitten about this one. Just the sort of game where we slip up. I suppose I'll be like this until we make 1st or second a certainty.

Do you remember Chesterfield at home?  Yes, the Jim Brown one  Now that was the ultimate in such slip up games!

Are you referring to the replayed game Leonard?

Random question

Thinking of going to the northampton game. Does anyone know what row back the pillars are positioned in the riverside stand? Dont want to buy a ticket stuck behind one.

They are on row 11 so anything from there down should be ok.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Great day for football. Nice slick pitch with the all rain. If you can't play today you should give it up. 

[Doug]

Really rooking forward to the match, gonna go 3-1 Rovers, Graham, Dack and Charlie boy.

Don't think they will bring many, so I guess around 10,000 of us.

[Mattyblue]

Think they are expecting to have around a 1000

[jim mk2]

Far too much over-confidence and hubris on here. They're a hard-working side and we could easily have lost the away match

I'll settle for 1-0

[markhayhurst]

Prediction. Payne in starting line-up instead of Conway?

Instead of Samuel?

Possibly, it would be a statement of intent if he is. I suspect Mowbray will stick with last week's starting line up.

[Tom]

Same team named 

Can't complain but I would have liked to see Armstrong or Payne in to try and blow them away early 

[davulsukur]

A strong bench with Payne, Bell, Armstrong & Nuttall.

[blueboy3333]

The right decision to keep an unchanged winning team imo. They all know if they don't perform they'll be dropped next game. Can't say i'm a big fan of Samuel though.

[Gogger]

Thought Samuel was poor last game, not a winger. Feel like Graham would get more to work with someone who can beat a man, and place a pass on either of the wings.

Edit: All though I can see the need for some size/muscle on the pitch, which neither Armstrong or Payne gives us.

[blueboy3333]

Their keeper ftom the away game is only on the bench. We'll get him when he warms up.

Taking your point at face value, I agree. This season has been much more enjoyable. Especially so for away fans.

The trouble is, it’s a sign that the quality of the squad that Venkys have de facto assembled that we’ve had to drop to the third tier to compete.

[tomphil]

Like Venkys you can't second guess TM we want a winning team unchanged but then when you get a raft of exiting new players in you expect changes like there usually is every week and get non. He doesn't seem to like really going for it from the off despite what he says but there is at least pressure on the starting regulars now to give it a good go with that bench breathing down their necks.
