Current top 3

All still to come to us.
Has there ever been an end to a season with so many massive games?

Honestly think we need to try and get Billy on the pitch for longer in the run in. His experience will be massive and they are likely to be tight games. 10/15 minutes is no good now.

I wish I was feeling more optimistic but at least we have a say in our own destiny. Bring them on, it’s now or never!

[Thorney]

But billy has had plenty of time on the pitch and missed so many chances lately. What makes us think he will be key now

Fair comments, I just have a gut feeling he still has a big part to play in getting us up.

I’m not calling for him to start, just to come on earlier.

[PDX_Rover]

Yes. He’s got the nous to make things happen

[ravenrover]

But not as a lone striker

[The Dav]

I hope Grant decides to go more offensive now, I’d like us to start going for it from the off, just like when he’s chasing a game, after all we are chasing a promotion !

I hope he does. Would like nothing more than both him and ironside to find the net next week and kick start a run just at the right time.

[Barmby Rover]

I would be just happy if we could get shots on target instead of only having 10-20% that way.

[Filo]

Walsall are on a horrendous run, but us being us we’ll give them a leg up

[Copps is Magic]

Can't see Walsall finishing in the top 3. Bradford will win it, with us Wimbledon and Vale playing it out for the remaining two places.

[roversdude]

Should we have some offers on to fill the ground ala Bradford

[Nudga]

Should we have some offers on to fill the ground ala Bradford

No, it won't need any offers.

[Padge_DRFC]

This game has the potential to be the equivalent of Barrow at home last season. Can see 11k home fans in for this one.

[Jimmydee]

Maybe reduce Bradfords away fans allocation, it would be a tactical advantage for us.

[scawsby steve]

I think GM should follow through on his suggestion that we give Bradford just 1500 tickets, as they did for us at their place.

Then put 1500 Rovers fans in the North Stand. Let's make it hard for them, not easy.

We all saw what happened when Chesterfield and Grimsby filled the away end.

If the Bradford game is as big as it potentially looks to be then we should try every trick in the book to give our team the advantage.
Fewer Bradford fans would be a big one.

[Sammy Chung was King]

We need all three of our strikers on the pitch with Street playing the wide role. We need a consistent run of wins, you only do that if you’re brave and go for it.

[Stewmaiden79]

Not in current top three but we could do with Barrow doing us a favour with a result against port Vale on Tuesday

[Jersey Rover]

No easy run in for any of the teams above us, we’re still in the race to be promoted as champions

[Stewmaiden79]

That’s the spirit.

[Donnybax]

We need all three of our strikers on the pitch with Street playing the wide role. We need a consistent run of wins, you only do that if you’re brave and go for it.

no we really don’t. Street was very poor wide left when playing there and is loads better up front. Also if we were to play all 3 of our strikers with street wide left what formation could we possibly play? Ironside wide right? It just wouldn’t work would it.

[andysly]

Maybe a return to the 1930’s with GMcC becoming the new Pep in his adaptation of a modern 2-3-5 formation 

[GazLaz]

We need all three of our strikers on the pitch with Street playing the wide role. We need a consistent run of wins, you only do that if you’re brave and go for it.

You have to have balance. Can’t score without creativity. Neither Ironside, Sharp or Street are creative. Neither is our midfield. Add to that Street looked poor on the wing.. it’s a no from me.

[ncRover]

3-4-1-2

TSL

Olowu
Anderson
McGrath

Sterry
Bailey
Broadbent
Maxwell

Molyneux

Ironside
Street

This can offer good flexibility with personnel in that congested run too.

[selby]

  Everybody seem to think we should pour forward which I agree with to an extent but is more about creating and taking chances, but, we need to know how to keep the back door closed as any side with offensive pace give us trouble, more so if Olowu misses games, which if he is leaving becomes more and more possible as he will not want to pick up an injury.

Keeping everyone fit and up for each game  , we are not front heavy where goal scores are concerned and without Molyneux we’d would t even be in this position without his goals but our midfield needs be forward minded and keep the passes going to our best front players  . Sharp Is itchin to play every game but Grant has to set the team for 90 plus minutes and it could all rest on either getting a lead early and keeping it or fighting to the last to get something from each game .

[Lesonthewest]

I'd like to see our midfielders arrive in the box more like Clifton did at Accrington, we don't do it anywhere near enough.

[Padge_DRFC]

I can see us going 352 if Maxwell and Sterry stay fit and Molyneux playing central.

[EasyforDennis]

To be in the top 3 at the end of the season, we will have to achieve something we haven't managed so far!!!
We have yet to beat any team in the top 7.
So far, if we concede the first goal, we might as well go home, as we have yet to win a game after conceding first.
Is anyone confident that we can manage that?

I'm not.

[roversdude]

Sure we’ve beat Port Vale
