Love games like this.  Nothing to lose, everything to win.  I expect us to lose of course, but any day can be your day.  A result draw, or win would be great but a defeat wont do anything to damper my spirits.  With the exception of the Fulham and WBA games, we've been in every contest.  Win or lose, would just hope to see us play well and be competitive.  I'd like to see Ayala back in there for his leadership qualities, also like to see Dolan get the start.  Khadra has provided the goods the last 2 matches, but outside of those moments has looked out of sorts.

                     Buckley

              Dolan Brereton-Diaz

In over 50 years of supporting the Rovers, I have never seen a game with nothing to lose.

Hey guys - I’m London based and going to the game tomorrow. I ordered tickets on Wednesday and was told they would come Thursday/Friday however they haven’t arrived. Will have to leave at like 11 tomorrow. 
 

Anyone else had this issue before? I assume it’s best to call ticket office first thing tomorrow?

Yes it has happened to me before for a Leeds away game and I phoned the ticked office at rovers and they got me to collect the tickets directly at the ground

I pray to God that we don't see any formation tinkering tomorrow. Let's just go toe to toe with them and see what happens.

Doesn't look like there's much width in that side.

Apart from Ayala it’s the same team as last week.

I was just going on about the formation of them all being in a straight line.

How long is Kaminski likely to be out? Pears will let us down sooner or later

Tm reckons he could be back next week

A draw would be a good result considering the possible absentees.

Just for fun.

 

Hmmm!

That's really accurate whoever came up with it 🤣 

I mean consistent starting 11 as well?

[chaddyrovers]

Come on Rovers!

Good luck to every Rovers supporter who has made the journey to the game. Wish I could have gone but for several reasons I can't be there

Wing backs who aren't wing backs 🙄

Create nothing, except exposure to the opposition.

Everything else seems to be working well this season though, mainly right down the center from back to front. Something that has been missing since the bald rat first entered the managers chair over a decade ago.

They’re dead right about that “ Defending against long shots “ though. That’s been a failing for years. 

[Wheelton Blue]

I fear that this is the game we'll come a cropper. Bournemonth are due a win, we're due to get beat.

3-1 Bournemouth.

More of an issue when we had Paul Robinson in the sticks, he used to absolutely shit himself for some reason if someone shot from outside the box, although was decent from point blank range 🤷‍♂️

Jason Steele brought it to a fine art

[Mattyblue]

After Brad, it was amazing how much of a downgrade Robinson, much younger, all those England caps, was.

It’s not just about the goalkeeper. We’ve been poor at defending around the edge of the penalty area for a long while.

Tbf, anyone would’ve been a downgrade on Brad Friedel. He’s in my all time top 5 I’d say 👍🏼

Robbo was still a titan compared to the dross we got between the sticks after him. Kean, Eastwood, Steele, Walton... some dark years for us goalkeeping-wise until Raya emerged and then Kaminski was signed later.
