Rovers v Bristol City

[Wilpshire Blue]

Sorry ,I'm really busy today, so this preview will be even shorter than my usual ones.
City are currently on their third manager in 8 months but the appointment of Nigel Pearson until the end of the season could be a shrewd one.

Since his appointment they have beaten Boro, Swansea and Birmingham away and lost at home to QPR and Bournemouth.
Playing better away than at home isn't what we wanted to hear

Regarding the table, City are 4 points above us and have conceded more and scored less than we have.

I've no idea who will be picked for Rovers, will the whirling dervish Dolan continue up front?
Will dumb and dumber be harnessed in tandem again?
Will McBride ever get a look in?

Answers on a postcard.

COYB (please)

I can’t wait
3-1 to Rovers.

 

[CLW-BRFC]

I cannot wait. It might be a classic.....oh the pitch. 0-0.

 

[rovers95]

2-1 Rovers.

2 - 1 to Rovers for me.

You might all want to view this before you predict.
Bristol's away record over the last 10 away matches. A stark contrast from when Nigel Pierson took over the day before the Boro away match!!!

9 away goals and 9 points in the last 3 matches compared to 3 away goals and 0 points in the previous 7! I don't know what he's done with the team but it seems a highly dangerous fixture we've got coming up tonight.

Naw......piece of pith.

1 - 3 Bristol to be up for it - us to be feeling sorry for ourselves ( That should guarantee a rovers win )

 

[Drog]

I'd say anybody automatically predicting a rovers loss since Christmas would have an unassailable lead in the prediction table by now steve. As ever it's the hope that kills.

 

[CLW-BRFC]

Programme is a must. Bradley Dack on the cover.

 

[Kate ‘Blue’ Garraway]

1-0 to our Rovers.

Dolan can stick it in for me

WTF!! Is it just me? or does this seem strange - miracle recoveries? Trybull and Buckley and Dolan out? This seems like player power selections?

 

[Smells Like Kean Spirit]

Buckley out probably to allow Rothwell to get forward SteW. Buckley's unlucky.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Having let heart rule over my head for the past couple of months in terms of predictions I sadly can’t go for a Rovers win tonight. I do obviously hope we do but common sense suggests a Bristol win but you never know.
2-2

What´s the pitch like?

Neither team has anything to play for tonight. The massive difference being that if you take a look over on the Bristol City forums they actually have positive threads about life under a ´new manager´ (Pearson). How far can he take us? Play-offs, pushing top 2 next season etc.
Whereas all but the doped up are severely depressed under our crock of shit set up.

Draw? Loss? Draw? Loss? I´m a bit Natalie Imbruglia over this one.



Let´s go for a us winning possession and losing the game narrowly 1-0 as is the Mowbray Way.
