    Highly likely. Crawley beat us home and away last season. I'd imagine Adkins will adopt a damage limitation approach and try to make it difficult for you to score. Unlikely to succeed.

    If Swindon had strikers who could finish, they’d have won comfortably. Starting to get a bit concerned about Rovers.

    Tuesday 1st October

    There are a few clashes involving bottom half teams, including Rovers v Swindon and the table could look quite different at 10pm on Tuesday. Both teams could do with a win, but for us if Adkins keeps playing the same players and formation, we come up against the same brick wall. Thought...

    214 at the start of the game though one got hospitalised and some chucked out when they started fighting one another.

    Mon 23rd & Fri 27th & Sat 28th September

    I don't disagree with any of the comments about how dire our game with Salford was. Maybe the most interesting thing about the game was the fight amongst Salford fans, which caused the game to be stopped for around 5 minutes. Not seen much reported about that, one of our forums suggests a fight...

    Mon 23rd & Fri 27th & Sat 28th September

    Injuries, poor recruitment generally, including an inability to bring in someone capable of doing like the Robbie Apter role and Adkins keeping players who are out of form in the starting xi. A lot will depend on who wins the takeover battle. Until then, the primary aim is staying in the FL, if...

    Mon 23rd & Fri 27th & Sat 28th September

    Rovers home to Salford tonight. Adkins has stuck mainly with the side that has lost the last two and nothing in the selection tonight suggesting a significant change in tactics. Rovers need something from this one but unsure we’ll get it.

    Colchester away. Rovers aren't offering much in attack at present, while the Cowley;s don't seem to be turning things round for the hosts. Think I'd take a draw.

    Thursday 12th & Saturday 14th September

    With the week off due to Wimbledon's international call-ups, Rovers have at least been able to get some of the injured absentees back playing. Luke Norris and Regan Hendry both in contention and have a good chance of making the starting xi. Think we need Norris as one of only two out and out...

    Saturday 31st August

    Carlisle away. They’ve got a much stronger squad than Rovers, especially with our current injury absentees. We haven’t been able to strengthen those areas lacking depth during the late stages of the transfer window, though it will be interesting to see if loanee Khan starts straight off. With...

    That sounds better than some of the other things mentioned about him, which gave the impression he was a defensive midfielder who could fill in at the back. Defensive midfield is one of the few areas we’re reasonably well covered. Been interested in Khan for a while, so those in charge of...

    Thursday 22nd & Saturday 24th August

    Wasn’t at the game but you’re probably right. Matt who loves scoring against Rovers fluffs an early penalty and we score with just about our only effort on target. However given our currently depleted squad only able to name 5 subs, will gratefully accept a win by any means.

    Thursday 22nd & Saturday 24th August

    Rovers v Saddlers Difficult game. I'll admit to being surprised Walsall are top at this early stage, as expected Swindon away to be a tougher fixture than it turned out. Matt and Gordon dangerous up front, with the former scoring a couple against us since he picked a return to the midlands over...

    Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th August

    Trip to Port Vale, one of the pre-season favourites and where Rovers have had a reasonable return on recent visits. It was a surprise that Adkins made 7 changes for the Accrington game and some good impressions made by the newer yoinger players like Josh Williams in midfield. The starting xi...

    2024/25 Carabao Cup Thread

    Home to Accrington, don't know if any of their fans post on here these days? We've a reasonable history in home Cup games v Stanley, which gives rise to a feeling something could go wrong. All our injured players remain so, but think there will be some shuffling of the pack for this game...

    August 9th-10th(Opening Day)

    Felt Notts County had enough attacking possession to have won today, their main weakness was a lack of finishing. The no 7 looked good and in the spells when he didn’t drift out of the game, Jones looked menacing. I felt Adkins made the wrong call by not starting one of the pacier players in...

    August 9th-10th(Opening Day)

    Notts had the bulk of the play including in the attacking areas, probably enough to have been in front, but Rovers had the only effort to test the keeper.

    Thanks Corrected it to Saunders!

    August 9th-10th(Opening Day)

    Turnbull not fit enough to play so Walker remains in defence. Rovers side lacks pace and would prefer to see Nigel mix it up a bit and start with one of our faster options in Patrick or Saunders.
