  1. That was a great strike . The Australian goalkeeper looks like the most Australian woman I’ve ever seen. She’s just missing a set of handcuffs
  2. Greenwood at the back is playing some fantastic balls out
  3. How simple would that be to do. Can you just walk up and buy a ticket or do they question postcodes and want proof etc
  4. To be honest everyone plays everyone twice home and away. Might aswell make the calendar as interesting as possible. I don’t have an issue with it. Be nice to see city put 6 past the dingles before anyone else kicks a ball 😂
  5. New ground for most , do people think this will sell out ?
  6. All ready for the draw 😁 Hoping for Sutton, Stevenage or Exeter away
  7. Gilsenen was good tonight and hopefully gets his chance this season to break through but my man of the match was garrett. He was outstanding tonight .
  8. I got told today you really need to get the size up . A guy I spoke to says he was a large that gets extra large rovers shirts due to them being quiet small. He said he had to get xxl this time as xl didn’t touch him
  9. Loved the time added on today. It’s abit over the top st the minute but players will soon realise it’s a pointless endeavour to waste time and it will come back down to a normal amount of added time but all this time wasting needs to be stopped . Short term pain for massive gains imo and let’s be honest who doesn’t like more football 😁
  10. I always think Pickering is just an average steady 6/10 kind of player , doesn’t do much wrong but does have the odd horror moment in him doesn’t do much more than what he’s supposed to. Today is the best I’ve seen him play, a really solid professional performance. I never for one minute today doubted him. If he plays like that all season we will be fine at the back
  11. I didn’t take that as disrespectful. I read that as he was confidently saying we are going to win and because he was on the spot in front of a camera not thought how it may come across , but I’m sure he meant because we’re going to win
  12. So it’s that time of year again folks where we get the chance to dare to dream and pray for a good cup run. I’ve started this thread early and I’m not one for starting threads so I apologise if I’ve done it wrong. I love the cups and hope we go all out and try and have a good run like we did last season. The cups were a real highlight of the season with some terrific performances. For the first time in what felt an eternity JDT took the cup seriously and it paid off with some memorable games and good experience for our , now more important than ever, developing youth players . The big question is , in the current climate, will JDT go strong and take the cups as serious this time around with such a thin and inexperienced squad . Is he able to with the demands of the championship ? On to the game. I’m hoping we have enough either way to get past Walsall and into the draw for round two . Walsall, nicknamed the Saddlers were founded in 1888, under the name walsall Town Swifts, an amalgamation of Walsall Town and Walsall swifts. They where league 4 champions in 1959-60 and have three more runners up places during there 135 year history. Last season the Saddlers finished 16th in league 2 Rovers head to head record with Walsall is played 17 , Rovers wins 10, draws 5 with only 2 defeats The first time the two clubs met was an fa cup game back In January 1931 at ewood park with the game finishing in a 1-1 draw. The last time the clubs met Rovers ran out winners at the Bescott stadium. A 2-1 win in our promotion season from league one with the reverse fixture at Ewood ending in a 3-1 victory. We also signed youth prospect Mitch Candlin that season. We played Walsall in the earlier rounds of the cup back in 2002. A goal from corrado grabbi opening the scoring from the spot before being pegged back by a Walsall penalty converted by zigor aranalde. The game went into extra time and Rovers found themselves 2-1 down on the 98th minute before an Ian roper own goal made things all square. In a game which referee Neale Barry had already awarded two penalties the game was decided by them . Rovers winning 7-6 after the final penalty was taken and scored by Marc richards. Let’s all hope for a repeat result and even better a cup run as good as the one from the same calendar year My team for the game would be Pears Brittain Barnes Wharton Batty Travis Garrett Markanday Buckley Dolan Leonard COYB
  13. Haha I meant give Ennis an hour and Leonard the last half hour
  14. I thought JDT had gone and someone had found shebbys old ideas in a draw 😂
  15. TK JRC. HYAM. CARTER. PICKERING WHARTON. TRONSTAD HEDGES. SAMMY. DOLAN ENNIS (for 60 minutes)
  16. Winners ………southampton runners up …………Leicester bottom ……… Plymouth Rovers finish ……………..14 Rovers goals 23 less than last year ……. Someone else can do the maths lol player of the season ………..Adam Wharton
  17. If JDT walks he gets nothing but love, respect and admiration from me for the Job he’s done with these kids last season , for his honesty, and for the self respect he has. God I’ll miss that cheeky grin 😂
