dellbert Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 You can rationalise that but not the fact that we only have one more team left to play with the word 'Rovers' in their name and therefore there's no need to write the first word? Totally agree, more important it is properly pronounced "Brizzle"! And, even more importantly, just first of our three stepping stones to Championship heaven!

LGTL Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 It's going to be nervy so a nice early goal like against Charlton and we should win comfortably.
70's Mike Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 This game is as big as the Charlton game in 1967
West End Saint Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 We need some bouncebackability you have to back Lambo to score we have to get the 3 points I am keeping the faith & going for a 3 1 win to the mighty Saints. Come on you Saints lets do this you have to think Udders & Posh will win we need the win to hang on to 2nd spot
lethallee Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I think Forte deserves to start based on recent performances but then again he does seem to have positive impact when coming off the bench. We don't really have anyone else else who is can make an impact from the bench attacking wise. NA will probably go with Guly in free role again but I'd prefer to see Lallana given that role and have Hammond, Stephens and Chaplow as midfield 3. Anyone know the latest with Ox's injury ? He been out for over 3 weeks now and not really heard anything other than Saints had shut him down for few days ! Anyone
Saint_John Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 The ref on saturday is Dean Whitestone from Northampton. This season :- Walsall 1 Saints 0 Last season : Saints 1 Wycombe 0. One Gas game this season :- Gas 2 Notts Co 1 He was the ref at the Skates game on Tuesday (0-3) !! Also one of this assistants is S.L. Massey (imo when I've seen her she usually gets things right).

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Is this not a very worrying statement? whats the point in our subs then? What a stupid reply. If you lose a player through injury then having a replacement is obviously better than playing with 10 men but Lethal is right we do lack impact players off the bench and forte does seem to make an impact when coming on. I personally would start forte on the right with Lallana on left as Guly is generally awful especially at passing and tactical awareness.
Pat from Poole Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 The ref on saturday is Dean Whitestone from Northampton. This season :- Walsall 1 Saints 0 Last season : Saints 1 Wycombe 0. One Gas game this season :- Gas 2 Notts Co 1 He was the ref at the Skates game on Tuesday (0-3) !! Also one of this assistants is S.L. Massey (imo when I've seen her she usually gets things right). I hate to say it, but that ref really wasn't very good in the game up at Walsall. He turned down a penalty request for us in the second-half that was a fairly blatant handball. Also gave Walsall most of the 50/50 decisions. Hopefully he's just a homer.
Toadhall Saint Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Very important game - I think it'll be quite cagey but we should win out in the end but not by a cricket score as some are predicting on here.
Window Cleaner Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 From the short written preview on the OS we learn that Chaplow could be back in the frame for Saturday and that Morgan and Ox are on the point of stepping up their comebacks whatever that means. We shall see on the video later on who's actually doing what.
scotty Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Very important game - I think it'll be quite cagey but we should win out in the end but not by a cricket score as some are predicting on here. agrees/w toadhall. It always worries me when we start talking about how many we're going to win by
Thedelldays Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 its going to be harder than some think... they have won their last 3 away games
Appy Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 its going to be harder than some think... they have won their last 3 away games Which 3 teams did they beat?
Thedelldays Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 this mighty lot Tranmere Rovers 0-1 Bristol Rovers Notts County 0-1 Bristol Rovers Exeter City 0-1 Bristol Rovers would be a huge effort on their behalf if they continue this run
scotty Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 ^ in that case, Im getting over to ladbrokes and get a tenner on 8 -0. Before I go tho, just popping down the end of the garden where the chickens are, theres some eggs about to hatch, might as well count them now.
Window Cleaner Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 this mighty lot Tranmere Rovers 0-1 Bristol Rovers Notts County 0-1 Bristol Rovers Exeter City 0-1 Bristol Rovers would be a huge effort on their behalf if they continue this run if only they could win at home on a regular basis though. A bit enigmatic the Gas of late, still they need a result and I hope we don't help them out unintentionally. Can't see it though.
The9 Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 this mighty lot Tranmere Rovers 0-1 Bristol Rovers Notts County 0-1 Bristol Rovers Exeter City 0-1 Bristol Rovers would be a huge effort on their behalf if they continue this run Good use of both "Bristol" and "Rovers" there for clarity, especially in that first match.
sandwichsaint Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Why not call them Pirates I thought it was Poole Pirates, or have they changed their name to Rovers?
Joesaint Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Got my and my daughters tickets, looking forward to it. BUT also nervous as I think we win I hope its not down to the last game, that could kill me. Please saints for the sake of my health win all the remaining games. COYS
corsacar saint Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 They [bR] have conceded 74 goals so far,if we cannot add at least another 3or 4 to that total,it will be disappointing to say the least.
PaulGilchrist_76 Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I thought it was Poole Pirates, or have they changed their name to Rovers? No, Bristol are REAL pirates. They stole 3 points off us at St Marys last season.
Appy Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 They [bR] have conceded 74 goals so far,if we cannot add at least another 3or 4 to that total,it will be disappointing to say the least. I couldn't give a toss how many we score as long as its more than them.
Minsk Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 this mighty lot Tranmere Rovers 0-1 Bristol Rovers Notts County 0-1 Bristol Rovers Exeter City 0-1 Bristol Rovers would be a huge effort on their behalf if they continue this run Third, and last, one was Yeovil not Exeter. Still pretty good going, but I think we will take them apart on Saturday.
benjii Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 They don't score many and they concede a lot = they will park the ******* bus. That in itself shouldn't be a problem and if we are patient we should do the job. I just hope that in the absence of an early goal the fans stay positive. That said, the support in home matches has been really good lately.
Saint_lambden Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Interviews now up. "How's Richard Chaplow looking?" ...Adkins: "He's looking bald actually" LOL
Nexstar Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 Sounds like Lallana will start, Chaplow probably on the bench. AOC sounds doubtful for the rest of the season, but sounds as though Morgan will be back in the next couple of games
eurosaint Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 KD DB RJ JF RD JF DS DH AL LB DN got to be? No Ricky Lambert then ???
Window Cleaner Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 can't see it no after the recent exclusive on here what "recent exclusive" would that be then? Surely not that Nigerian wallah?.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 is it not true then? Who knows, we signed Ali Dia and the TinMan didn't we.
The9 Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 They are 10/1 to beat us! Decent odds considering they're fighting relegation and we've got a habit of sleepwalking through games not involving the top 5.
saintrich Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 Decent odds considering they're fighting relegation and we've got a habit of sleepwalking through games not involving the top 5. Indeed, with Rovers ( ) battling against relegation it could be tough. Hopefully we put up a fight and not just rely on quality.
mitch01 Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 Adkins pre-match interview just up on saintsplayer. He really is a strange man.
Saint_Jonny Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 Adkins pre-match interview just up on saintsplayer. He really is a strange man. Just watched it too. I was laughing at him at one point, the guy is nuts!
itchen_dan Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 I am expecting a big win after Tuesday's defeat. Would like to see Forte & Lallana start and really attack Rovers and put them to the sword Saints to win 5-0
SuperMikey Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 Interviews now up. "How's Richard Chaplow looking?" ...Adkins: "He's looking bald actually" LOL
Nexstar Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 What did he say about Chamberlain? Will see next week if he'll be able to take any part in the rest of the season. But said he's young and needs taking care of. I really can't see him playing again this season
goodymatt Posted 15 April, 2011 Posted 15 April, 2011 What did he say about Chamberlain? Big chance he won't return this season
