[SkyBluesRose]

huge potential relegation six-pointer at Torquay v Leyton Orient

 

[The Terminator]

My first trip to Torquay in 11 years. Last time out was 1-1 draw in the FA Cup 2nd Round in 2006.

MaCauley Bonne is suspended for us, so the snail due of Matt Harrold and David Mooney will be up front - thats if Ross Embleton grows some balls.

Jamie Sendles-White is suspended as well, but thankfully he's shite and won't be missed.

The road goes on for us wondering if we will ever win a game again, we are useful going forward and good for a goal, but since Josh Coulson and George Elokobi have been injured, combined with Steve Davis's coaching (or lack of) we've been so lazy in our defending as a team it is something the manager will have to address quickly.

Can anyone confirm if the toilets at Torquay have improved since they built that new main stand? They were appalling last time

Rovers apparently down to 15 available players for the visit of Maidstone, if the game was to be played now, according to Micky Mellon. McNulty joins Harris on the banned list. With the visitors being good travellers, this should make for an interesting game. Gut feeling that Rovers will edge it, but no surprise to be proved wrong.

As well as the game at Torquay being a key match for the strugglers, the clash between Aldershot and Wrexham at the other end of the table looks promising. Will Keates’ touchline ban have any effect?

 

[Master D]

Personally I don’t see it having any effect. But we would probably lose anyway and it’ll be used as an excuse.

Down to 15 players? Now that’s a real injury CRISIS, with 25 players out.

Keates' touchline ban doesn't come into effect til later in December right? FAW take with one hand and give with the other by making sure one of the matches is the FA Trophy.

We've been utter tosh the last couple of visits to Aldershot. Would be happy if we were to serve them up with a 0-0 drubbing.

 

[Chief Rocka]

After the Aldershot debacle then the turning over of Halifax on Tuesday I've no idea what version of Pools will turn up, our away record is decent and identical to Ebbsfleet's home one.

Although I wasn't there on Tuesday I'd imagine he'd keep the same team right? possibly swapping out Rodney for Adeloye who seems to be getting unfairly targeted by the dickhead element of our fans.

We're so close to breaking into the playoffs, 2-1 Pools

Expect a body search by black-coated doormen and if you object they'll tell you can't come in. That was my experience in 2016. I complained to our ceo and he spoke to their directors and the 2 visits this year have been ok.

 

[Railway Blue]

What would I give for us to repeat our performance (and score) of last year.

It's not what you know it's who you know.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

What can we expect from Bromley? They don't get a lot of airtime on this forum.

Having won three in four, I really can't see us being beaten, though still a few players out of position to cover injuries.

 

[DarkSithLord]

8.30 am pitch inspection for Barrow v Bromley tomorrow.

8.30 am pitch inspection for Barrow v Bromley tomorrow.

Not heard any serious concerns, so I imagine it's just a formality. A lot of amateur games called off, but I'd like to think they put the covers over when they looked at the forecast.

 

[chief]

I'd take a draw at the ground with the worst facilities in the division for away fans. Some cracking pubs nearby though.

 

[East Bank Shot]

Looking forward to becoming the 83rd team to lose 1-0 to Wrexham tomorrow.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

It's not what you know it's who you know.

Or even what you know about who you know

 

[Mark kavanagh]

Dont envy the away team who have daniel middleton today he wont give you a thing, total bottler , reminded me of shakoor rana the pakistani umpire .

Opinion of many rovers supporters me included it it was not just inept but suspiciously inept.... makes you wonder is ha getting a new 3 piece suite delivered this week

 

[B2TF]

They won't know if they're North, South, East or West Lee at 5 o' clock. We're gonna smash 'em.

Did you really think he was that bad? Penalty decision seemed right, though I’ve seen them NOT given, the free-kick that led to thei Macc late equaliser seemed a bit harsh and there was a bit of fist-pumping when he gave a free-kick against Cook, but seen worse. He’s down for the televised game at Chester today.

Meanwhile we have Simon Barrow in the middle today. Looks like he overdoes the brylcreem and failed to send a Southport player off for the Lee Vaughan leg-breaker right in front of his nose last season. Not hopeful.

 

[Pliny Harris]

I hope we smash 'em. It's taken this long and we still haven't beaten The Vision. Plus it only vindicates our manager if we do win, and it's ridiculous how much he's had to put up with no matter how well or badly we're doing.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Best attack vs one of the best defences. Should be an interesting game - cant call it at the moment but we probably need to win more than Wrexham!

That sounds like a toned down version of Stevenage stewards.

 

[doveranddover]

2 more goals & dagenham overtake us

dover- same team with 4 sort-of-wingers on the bench + a defender who's never played or even been announced as a signing for the 2 months he's been here

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

What the fuck is Josh McQuoid doing at Torquay. They sound all over us. One time, come on, let's win, one time is all I ask. For fuck sake. We're going to lose. Fuck. Sake.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Fuck sake. We're losing. McQuoid. One fucking time. Jesus.

 

[Master D]

1-0 down already. That's the gameplan out of the window, we will struggle to get back into this now.

 

[Seventyseven]

2-0 get in!

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

2-0 get in!

Go away.

 

[Seventyseven]

if the result stays as it is,you'll be the first team we've beaten on a Saturday this season!

I'm confident the result won't be as it is. You're nailed on for a third.
