Match Thread Home V Bristol Rovers Saturday 16th October @ 3.00pm

The Gas had a good win last week, saved Barton his job but cost Beech his. Had it on good authority if Bristol had lost we would likely have been up against Flynny this week. But your right Rod, 6 points Sat and Tues just the job.

 

I’m just hoping RO’D doesn’t injury himself Pre match. Not sure who will go in goal

 

Do we not have a cardboard cut out..?

 

Unlike Adams, I would stick the youth team keeper on the bench, surely better than an outfield player having to cover.

 

Have I missed something?
Where's Hornby?

 

Injured in training last week, no keeper on bench at Newport

 

Ah...thanks...wasn't aware of that.

 

Probably, but I'm not sure he'd have kept 2 clean sheets in the last 2 games.

 

Let's hope Cook doesn't get injured. Not sure what player we could isolate up top.

 

Injured himself opening a packet of polo's.......

 

AH...but he's not in mint condition right now..

 

Not just up against Bristol Rovers on Saturday, but also, a team lead by a man and his higher power.....

Barton: "I went to church on Wednesday and I had a good hour alone with my thoughts and I realised I’ve been sent here, to help this football club out of the doldrums".

He's also well suited to the moutain ranges of Asia...
Barton: “I know that route map. I know how to get up high mountains. I know how to be a Sherpa because that’s how I see my job, to lead young lads and lead them up the football pyramid, the football mountains maybe they didn’t think they were capable of before"..... starting CMs last week were 37 & 33, striker was 33 but yeah, those young lads.

Also, thinks he's managing the most attractive team in League Two.
Barton: "Look how much money these players are getting paid, look at all these things they've got, cos thats every managers team talk when they come here, we are everyone's cup final, because everyone wants to play for Bristol Rovers. They see our fan base and our pitch and they want to play for us, so we face the best of every player in this league".

Not sure how we can possibly compete with that level of stupidity..... Sorry, i meant brilliance, that will enter our ground this weekend.

 

Just make sure our safety officer is wearing eye protection if he pulls the lad up for having a crafty fag in the ground.

 

Carl Shutt and Tony Clegg have signed on non contract terms to cover. Ha Ha

 

Probably fallen out with Adams, like Sutton & Songo'o ...............................

 

He slipped down the stairs like Matt Clarke, we're ok though, we've big Nev to come in

 

Bit like Kane last night…he was dreadful?

 

Kane has been dreadful for a while tbh.
