Looking at goal difference either a Draw or Yeovil Win will be the best result for Rovers.

Draw hurts them both so I'd rather have a draw. Wins are the only thing that matter at this stage.

If they both win, would it be a win, win situation?  :chair:

A draw would put major pressure on both teams, either way on this fixture at least one team loses ground and gives us the edge going into the next fixture.

Draw screws them both.

A draw keeps both of them 5 points behind us.  A win for either moves them 3 behind but leaves one 6 behind, and further out of touch.

I would say a draw is ideal, better to keep both at distance.  Failing that a Yeovil win as Swindon have the better goal difference.

According to Gary Johnson, we're big spenders:

Few, however, nominated Yeovil as promotion candidates last summer, not least because, as Johnson says: ‘If they did a league table on budget, we’d definitely be 24th in the division. Definitely.
‘I think Sheffield United have the biggest budget — they get the crowds. Bournemouth have spent loads on transfers. Doncaster  and Swindon have paid a lot of money out.


OK, our wage bill will be higher than Yeovil's, but we've spent next to nothing on transfers. Probably less than the £15K they spent on Madden to be precise.

im Not so sure a Yeovil win is better as their run in looks the easiest

Could we be that lucky yet again? So many results of other teams have gone our way this season. Fingers crossed for the draw.
