1st May Match Thread

[Luke Imp]

Away at Posh for us, as we play a side on the cusp of promotion for the second Saturday in a row. An unlikely win tomorrow means we could take the automatics to the final day but that's assuming we also beat Charlton in our game in hand so it's a difficult one...

Brennan Johnson went off injured on Tuesday and it missing tomorrow along with Jackson and Walsh. Hopper, Grant and Bridcutt seem to have come through ok.

Northampton are at home to Blackpool in a game they need to win. Rochdale against Donny, whilst ACFW and Wigan have Portsmouth and Hull respectively.

 

[TractorBoys]

Never been less interested in a fixture. Let it be summer already.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Rochdale to put 6 past us at least

Snap! Will only watch if we play some kids tomorrow.

You drew at Peterborough the other night. I don’t think you are giving them enough credit. Obviously playing for contracts or pride has finally kicked in.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Gills at home for us in a dead rubber for both sides.
Expect goals. I’m going for a 3-2 brewers narrow win.

It’s difficult to give credit to a team that’s put 2 decent performances in the last 15 plus we always do well against Posh

How long will Brennan be out for? Shame to lose him and wonder who will come in for him? Potentially a big opportunity for Harry to work his way back in the fold.

Having to witness the opposition celebrate promotion on consecutive Saturday's won't be a nice occasion if it happens, must also be a first?

 

[Luke Imp]

Back Tuesday apparently, so nothing long term.

 

[Davidimp]

Hoping for shades of 2006 today and someone being our Ryan Amoo today and we can spoil their party.

 

[Luke Imp]

We've rotated today, so that tells you how we're approaching the game.

No Walsh, Jackson or Johnson (all injured), McGrandles, Edun and Morton rested and on the bench. Rogers is apparently playing CM as opposed to right of a front three as usual, Anderson comes in for this first start since what feels like forever and an opportunity to get more minutes into Grant, but more pressingly, Hopper and Bridcutt.

Wasn't expecting that line-up but no real complaints to see McGrandles, Edun and Morton rested.

Bridcutt has a big job to do in midfield as I can't see Rogers tracking back and doing too much of the ugly stuff.

 

[SuffolkBlue]

We just scored our first goal in 11 hours of football and our first penalty of the season. Jesus Christ get the substandard teams out of this league!

We're going. But we have to play 1.5 matches before we do.

That penalty decision for Peterborough is disgraceful, ref with a great view as well, never a penalty in a million years.

 

[Guernica]

Disgraceful dive and referee decision has earnt Posh the promotion.

 

[dannyc5]

Joey Barton is a bellend. Feel very sorry for Bristol Rovers fans. They don't deserve a twat like him as manager. He clearly isn't interested in being there.

Fergie time dodgy penalty..

Seen that one before !

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Im not bitter at all, as winning the next 2 games and Posh losing their last game was a big ask, but how was that a penalty? Crazy

 

[Luke Imp]

I've not seen the incident but if a Posh summariser is calling it the worst penalty decision he's ever seen then that'll do for me.

Fantastic achievement for us two be confirmed in the PO's with two to spare. Means we can afford to give the returning players Tuesday off, which would seem the sensible thing to do rather than them breaking down.

Crikey. Scully's even jumped out the way to avoid the challenge and is the one fouled!

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Disgusting "decision".

 

[Guernica]

As bad a decision as you're likely to see, ref had the perfect view and had the temerity to book players for protesting. It's either just awful refereeing or he's on the take - it was that bad and blatant.

 

[Marked Ox]

Didn't see it but we have taken it to the last day with a good comeback result. Jack Stevens pulled off 2 worldie saves as well apparently.

Seemed like he couldn’t wait to give it like he was quite excited by it. Awful decision.

Thankful there were no fans tbh, it would have got very nasty.

 

[Bartonyellow]

If this was in the prem we would not stop hearing about it. Mind you, var would rule it out.

Well you never know but that is a poor decision even in real time .
