[CornishOx]

Let's get it started. Build on the good result at Charlton.

I'm going 2-1 to the yellows (Henry and a Mowatt FK)

 

[dabigfella]

Hoping, but waiting to see if the revival is for real.

 

[CheltenhamYellow]

1-1 Entertaining but ultimately frustrating.

 

[BeardedOUFC]

We'll go 2-0 early, play well, Bristol will score in the last 15 minutes to set up a tight finale, but Henry will come up with our 3rd after a counter attack from a corner in the 88th minute.

 

[bashamwonderland]

1-1 with a solid display and no defensive errors would do me just fine.

Still hoping that the Charlton game wasn't just a blip. Would be a real shame to see us go back to Pep standards.

 

[tonto]

Whenever I go to the rovers matches we always lose. Good news is I am not going! Score 3-1 COYY

 

[RATC]

We never beat this lot at home, however i fancy us to do so tomorrow. Play like we did at Charlton with the fast paced football and we can beat anybody in this league.

Rovers play a horrible brand of football in where they are going to go in hard for tackles l and time waste when they can. If we're going to give abuse and BOO anyone tomorrow then it's that lot in the Blue and white not the ones in yellow and blue.

Would get Napa on around 55', his confidence must be high and he looked very good at Charlton. Or, start him in a false nine. We do have options though, especially with Henry's upturn in form - looked good at Walsall and Charlton.

Kane Martin Mousinho Smith-Brown
Ledson Rothwell Ruffels

Won't call a score on this one, but IBR will score from a counterattack.

 

[Oufc28]

Tough game tomorrow, never do well against the gas at home. Starting well is a must, so many times under pep we started slow and gave ourselves a mountain to climb. I can see it being close and entertaining and I think we will win 2-1. Goals from IBR and Henry.

 

[yellowbow]

Another win - let’s get the promotion bandwagon rolling!!

 

[CornishOx]

I had a tenner on us yesterday to get promoted at 200-1. Because why the hell not! Haha.

 

[RATC]

Gavin Ward the referee tomorrow hasn't been a ref at game of ours since the one nil win at Charlton last season

Looking at games he has been ref at though 4-0 Sheffield United v Swindon and 5-0 Luton v Swindon

 

[HeyMcAleny]

Another win - let’s get the promotion bandwagon rolling!!

The three teams above us are playing away tomorrow, with Pompey and Posh both catchable.

Four teams below are capable of catching us, including the Gas.

So we could be anywhere between 8th and 14th come 5pm tomorrow.

Go for the jugular with pace, width and high press

I had £20 on us getting into the top 6 (Before the Charlton game) at 40/1. ££

 

[ttg17]

Not sure this is the game to start Dickie. Would continue with M&M for tomorrow at least.

Rothwell must start down the middle. Superb last week and can be the game changer.

EDIT: Forgot score prediction. 1-0 HT 3-1 FT Thomas, Henry, IBR

I would say Rothwell over Riccy then there’s an option for Faz for later on

Was the dilemma for me but thought let's try and get in front for once rather than chasing then bring on Rothwell and Mowatt to shore things up.

Harsh on Napa and Ruffels, but shows the depth we've got when everyone's fit. Faz suggested they'll be direct, so might be worth dropping Mous given he can't seem to win a header.
2-1, Rothwell '20 and Ricardinho '79.
