Title: Rovers vs Swindon
Post by: NickDRFC on March 08, 2025, 02:18:56 pm
Did someone on here say we had a fully fit squad? Back 4 all drop out, not even fit enough for the bench, with Nixon, Anderson, Senior & Sbarra coming in. Bailey at centre back today?

Edit - Clifton also drops out, Crew in. I’m guessing it will be

TSL
Nixon Anderson Bailey Senior
Broadbent Crew
Sbarra
Moly Street Gibson

McCann said on Thursday that everyone was ok and just needed patching up maybe a bit of kidding going on. Hopefully we can see it through today.

Yup. Goals win points. Points win prizes. Your charity money is safe. So it’s three darts for the non-darts player and three for the darts player.

You’ve got the time it takes the board to revolve to decide. What should they do audience?

Have all the possession you want but if you're not going to do anything with it then it's pointless.

Was worried about the lack of defence but we’re playing very well today. Broadbents pass to Street for the opener and Mol’s to Sbarra for the second we’re both incredible. They’ve had some momentum but their ploy seems to be to try and pick out their no. 10 and so far it’s not working.

Not sure it’s relevant but the first season I had a ST was 82/83 (could have been the one before), and the only home fixture I missed - due to a family visit - was a 2-2 draw vs Swindon.

When the results came on telly, our visitors said we should have gone.!!

While i thought gibson did ok overall his shooting is abysmal

My thoughts too mate.
Recently I think he has shown that he has skills and pace and offensively he has been good.
Defensively he is not good and that attempted header back to TSL was ridiculous.
He gets into great scoring positions but his shooting is very poor and he really does need a goal.
When he was through one on one with the keeper near the end today he just didn’t look like he might score and the attempted finish was abysmal.
