Stat Attack
Rovers have only played Morecambe once before in the Football League; a 5-1 win at the Globe Arena last September.
Rovers have enjoyed a 100% start to January, winning all 5 games. We haven't lost at home this season and have only lost 1 in the last 15 games, winning 11.
Morecambe have had a mixed bag of late, winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 2 of their last 6. They currently sit 17th in L2 and are joint 3rd for the worst GD in the division, with -11.

Good morning everyone! has to be another 3 points today!
-
Morning Les. You forgot to say please.
A nice fresh sunny morning in Bradford. Leeds play tomorrow so traffic shouldn't be too bad on the way across.

My wife and I are going to a function in Belfast later, so unfortunately I will miss the second half on here. So here are a few possible milestones/stats to watch out for (probably none will happen - things will definitely go wrong at some stage):
If Rovers win it will be the first time we have won 6 league games in a row since 2003-04. The last time we won more than that in a row was 1946-47 when we won a club record of 10 league matches in a row.
If Rovers can score 3 we will equal a club all time record of 5 league matches in a row scoring 3 or more, set in 2003-04.
If John Marquis can score he will have scored in 5 league matches in a row, the first Rovers player since James Hayter in 2010-11.
If he can score 2 then he will already have the highest number of football league goals in a season (i.e. not including Conference) since Peter Kitchen (23) in 1976-77
What could possibly go wrong............... :chair: :chair: :chair: :chair:

Game underway .... Come on Roverrrrssss !

Anyone's Player audio breaking up slightly ?

Yep, mine's a bit clicky sounding, occasional bigger pause, but then my connection is via phone and a poor signal here in Bude at the moment so maybe it's a SW peninsula thing!
-
Seems like they're really up for it, a bit rough tough pressing, could do with a non offside goal!
Exeter continuing their storm up the league.

I'm on superfast bb ... still very 'clicky' as you say.

From a SW and personal perspective I hope Exeter go up ... not at our expense obviously.
-
My RP is beautifully clear and consistent. No problems at all.
Touch wood!

1 down .... :crying:
-
Oh, heck. Expected this. Just got to keep at them, goals will come.
-
Making a few too many mistakes at the back ... a bit casual from Grant and Houghton
-
Thing is... we don't need to panic. More than enough time and quality and resolve to win.
-
3:1 it is then!
-
we love making life difficult for ourselves :rolleyes:
-
So many good chances, nearly there :)
-
Plymouth 1 up
-
Poor performance first half. No composure on the ball. Need to control the game more
-
score early in the 2nd half changes the game completely, Morecambe would have to come out and thus creating more space and chances for our front line.
-
Frustrating here.. plenty of attacking and several chances not being made the most of, but Williams drew an excellent save from their keeper at the near post just before half time..
I expect they will be getting a roasting in the dressing room..
-
We have been crap so have ref and linos need an early goal
They are just a team of bullies and are getting away with it elbows up every time
-
We've controlled play, built attacks like we always do, but our final ball or shooting boots have been a bit off. Every shot has been straight at Barry Roach. They don't look to want to sit on a 1 goal lead so our chances will continue. Still expecting to win this.
-
Goes without saying, we have to put away our chances.
-
Goal!
-
Yesssssssss :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
-
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Marquis!
-
And taking the michael on Ellison too :)

Have we made a few more inroads forward in the second half rob?
-
According to the BBC we've had 18 shots, 7 on target, how many more do we need before we score again?
-
We need to dig deep and get that winning goal in the final minutes of the game.
-
Come on!!!!!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
-
Not today... Not the result I expected, but we didn't lose. :scarf:
-
Unbelievable end to this game! Not too bad in the end, and seems we're owed a bit of luck there. Morecambe set up well, congrats to them too.
-
2 points dropped. Need to make amends on Friday.
-
Difficult to win when you're playing against 13..
The west stand lino was a joke.. missed a blatant handball from Ellison and also their no 5 having a kick out at marquis after a goal kick was given..
-
Friday's in quite serious doubt Les. Rodney Parade doesn't have a pitch. It's a beach. Even the rugby is being postponed. A shame. I was planning on going. Have a look at pics of the place!

I can't make Friday, so would be pleased if it's postponed.

Maybe they should relocate the game to Tenby sands.

I can and we're going but I'd f**king love it to be postponed for hopefully a Saturday
