Post by: philsky on April 12, 2024, 08:00:17 am

......and we go again; M1 for me.

Is this the third 'biggest game of the season' on the trot ?

Can't wait.

Tom or Joseph ? otherwise Biggo in for Rowe and then same as.

Olowu for me. His shirt to lose after the last three performances.

Can’t fault Olowu since his return. It would be harsh to drop him imo. Nice headache to have though whoever gets the shirt. It’s great times to watch the rovers again. 3 pts tomorrow please

Oluwu 100%. Tom has to earn the shirt back after his rashness. Oluwu has been faultless since stepping back in

on tuesday nite my mates lad came with us,  a former semi pro player so knows a bit about the game, his 2nd standout players were the 2 joes.... firstly thought ironside was an absolute warrier, but was equally impressed if not more so with jo at the back. He thought he had the potential to play at a higher level, which many folk have said,  if he can manage to concentrate for 95 mins, which he has for the last 3 games!!

Tom for me, he’ll be rested and mentally mega sharp, aggressive and know he has to perform.
A fourth match may be one too many for Joe.

To say how well we are playing the ticket sales look disappointing again. I think we can firmly put to bed the theory that the great Donny public came out in force to support their team against Wrexham because of our ‘good form’.

Biggins over Rowe. Is the very easy decision. The CB position isn't. Nice to have both options and pick based on the type of forwards we'll be up against

Just can’t see how you can leave Joe Olowu out after his 3 fantastic performances.

What would that say to him if he lost his starting place?  No Tom Anderson will have to wait for his chance to start again.
Joe has earned the shirt.

Some may wait until the day see what the weather is like hopefully we can get 8,500 home fans in and get them behind the lads

I think toms lost the spot due to him being sent off, if you play well when you get your chance but get dropped as soon as another player is back, doesn’t reward the player for wanting to preform well.

But on the other hand, we have the last few massive games coming up and I want to see grant play the strongest side to get the job done. If grant has more belief that Tom gives him the assurance, then he has to put him straight back in.

I think grant has trust in Joe though.

Biggo back in for Rowe and as we are.

I think 7500 is best we can hope for and that may include the away fans maybe 250 of them

The fact is we are in league 2 and we are 10th in the table.
Now all die hard Rovers fans know we have a lot to play for and 10th means not a lot as it’s so tight but for many casual fans, they just look at the league we are in & the table.

If we win today and other results are reasonably favourable then maybe we can get 8.500 ish for our last home match.

  Not this time. Family things to attend to. I'm hoping to get to Gillingham.
 Shout louder for me.
