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)
 
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.
 
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.

Eastwood
Kane Dickie Mousinho ASB
Ledson Mowatt Ruffles
IBR Thomas Rothwell

2-0 Oxford
IBR Mousinho both at the East Stand end.

9350 ATT
 
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.

Eastwood
Kane Martin Mousinho Smith-Brown
Ledson Rothwell Ruffels
IBR Mowatt
Thomas

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

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

Eastwood
Kane Dickie Mousinho ASB
IBR Ledson Ruffels Riccy
Napa
Thomas
 
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.

Eastwood
Kane Martin Mousinho ASB
Ledson
Henry Mowatt Rothwell IBR
Thomas

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.
 
Eastwood
Kane Martin Dickie ASB
Henry Ledson Mowatt IBR
Rothwell
Thomas

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.
 
Don’t get moving ibr to bring Henry in. He showed on sat what a threat he is on his natural right. And mowatt is much better further forward and ruffles adds more balance being left footed, mowatt doesn’t off the defensive protection ruffels does when Ledson goes forward. Go exactly the same Henry did well coming off the bench and not having to run as far up and down the line. Definitely bring dickie in, but I think he might stick for this game with the other two. And play rothwell on the left but let him have the free role to roam a bit more.
 
What a pleasant distraction from all the bickering and backbiting this is, an actual game to concentrate on. A lively game with a load of cards ending in a 3-1 win to the yellows with Thomas, Mowatt and Rothwell for us and you know who for them. Lost one of the lucky gloves last week so a major search is being undertaken as we speak.

I agree with those sentiments and if we were away I'd start Rothwell but if the Gas are going to be spoilers and tight at the back I'd love to see ASB and Riccy overlapping on the left. With IBR and Kane doing similar on the right then putting the ball into the wide channels must surely cause havoc in the Rovers rearguard. Add to that Napa in a 10 type role we could really pull there defence around and I agree with others on here who could see them down to 10 men early doors.

I’d have that, although if we going to play riccy wide (he did well at Charlton) then I’d put rothwell behind the striker and drop mowatt to the bench. We want him to stay then we need to play him. And he adds so much pace and threat bursting forward
