Stat Attack
Rovers have only played the Robins 8 times, winning 4, drawing 2 and losing 2 - the 2 draws and 2 wins actually make up the last 4 results againt Cheltenham.
The last win for Rovers in this tie came almost 13 years ago in December 2003 at Whaddon Road; McIndoe, Morley and Melligan were the scorers in a 3-1 victory.

I still get the chills thinking about that last game in L1 in 2008 season at Whaddon Road. We threw the absolute kitchen sink at them and couldn't win. I had a bottle of champers in the boot of the car ready to celebrate. It came home with me.

Forest nipped in and edged us out. Then came Sarfend and Dirty Leeds at Wembley. The champers went to Wembley and never made it home.

Whats wrong with Beestin?

I am guessing DF sees Mandeville, Calder and Pugh as better attacking options ATM?

Post by: Bristol Red Rover on August 20, 2016, 03:24:30 pm
The Marquis foul was him falling over, but then he kicked out at the Cheltenham player - luckily just got a talking to.

We're all over them. Rowe sounds like he's on fire.

Post by: RoversAlias on August 20, 2016, 03:37:20 pm
Liam Hoden keeps saying Marosi is taking a load of abuse from the dugout for being too slow to distribute, but that he doesn't always have options. Fergie has apparently just screamed "just give him it!" at Marosi, which leads to me to think the manager might prefer us to give the ball to a defender under pressure than actually wait and make a sensible choice.

I'm not at the game, I could be wrong, but I see that happen an awful lot and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes from the manager. You shouldn't play short passes out just for the sake of it.

"Good goalkeeping by Marosi getting out quickly" from Chelts commentary.

I can't see anything, is this because DRFC's Twitter mentioned him? I'm inclined to believe that was casual racism and they meant Evina...

Some good play but breaks down near the box.  They have had the better chances and have grown.

I think wiliams and marquis are far too similar and being ineffective at the mo

Marosi booked for time wasting - trying to do what Fergie is asking without options being available.
