    Not seen a thread yet unless I’ve missed it.

    Predictions?

    Anyone going?

    I’ve gone 2-1 Plymouth in prediction thread. Have a bad feeling about this one. Don’t know why

    It's a must win game imo, can't afford to let the gap widen any more than it is.

    Will be interesting to see how Hopkin sets up, hopefully he'll go for it and attack them. After all they've conceded more than us this season so they're their for the taking.

    Feeling optimistic so I went for 0-2

    I would like a win could be 2-2 draw.
    Would possibly take a draw with it being an away game.
    Can't make it to the game Chatsworth Christmas.

    Its a tough place to go but no reason why we can't get a result. We are getting better and starting to get a few lucky breaks. There's good feeling around the club for the first time in a long time and I really hope the players can capitalise on that. Going into three home games on the back of a win at Plymouth would be huge. That said, a draw wouldn't be the end of the world. Losing would be an absolute killer.

    No idea how we will set up with the talk of a fully fit squad. Even with it away from home, Payne has to play - hopefully Hopkin learned that lesson at Luton.

    Goes without saying anything less than a win will do.

    Form suggests Plymouth, as they have won 3 in 5 at home beating fellow relegation candidates in Gillingham and AFC Wimbledon, also beating midtable Fleetwood.

    Looking through blinkered eyes of a BCFC fan, we have positivety onboard following the ending of ERs tenure. I sense that people are focusing on the end of ER as the turning point in the season but the reality is, it's the manager, his backroom staff and the playing personal, that have to step up to the mark.

    So in light, we have one win in 6, a very good win against Oxford may I add but then a crushing defeat at Luton. Yes, suspensions robbed of our two centre Half's but one was a player whom has been villified throughout the last 12 months... Over two away games against a good Peterborough side we have collected two draws, one a tad fortunate last week by all accounts.

    Some say we are playing better. To an extent I agree but what are we basing that upon. The previous set of games where we was at times abject?

    But of Plymouth? Well they have momentum at home. 3 wins in 5 at home as I say, 10 goals in there last 6 league matches. Only failed to score in 2 home games from 10 this season. They must have some momentum, positivity around there place and they must be using last season's superb bottom placed win at Bradford in november to finishing just outside the play offs as a focal point?

    It's the lack of goals that worries me. With Plymouth scoring goals now and whomever supporting A o'C at centre half, I just feel they will edge the game.

    Hotel booked for tomorrow night.

    They've several defenders missing.
    I've a feeling that we'll edge it by the only goal.

    Home Park is not a happy hunting ground for us; the last three visits have produced no goals and just one point. Very strong winds forecast for tomorrow, which could make it very difficult for both sides.

    I'll be going down on the train, so I'm hoping that the weather doesn't cause any significant travel disruption.

    I'd take a point from this one.

    Yen's looked into his conical ball, the monsoon has passed, the rainbow is back over the Valley of Dreams.

    Tough game and one we need to win, but going to predict a battling 1-1 which wouldn't be too bad providing we back it up by winning the following home league game.

    I'm hoping for a repeat of the meeting between the two sides this time last year when rock bottom Plymouth to ours and somehow managed to get 3 points from us at the start of their great run that took them well clear of relegation. They rode their luck I seem to remember and we missed a penalty late on

    totally agree. Any points away from home from now on will do for me as long as we can get a home run going.

    It’s a must not lose game.
    On the train from Leeds staying overnight in Cheltenham. Onward journey 9 am Saturday. Liked the trip last season thought we would do it again.

    Hopefully a win but happy with a point.
