Match Day Thread Fleetwood Town Vs The Gas - Game Thread And Poll

Rovers make the long trip north to face Fleetwood Town this Saturday in SkyBet League One.

Rovers: Darrell Clarke's men will be aiming to build on last week's 5-0 victory at the Mem against Northampton Town.

Team News: Rovers are without Peter Hartley who is the only long term injury at the club.

Darrell's View: "We are coming up against a side that is in good form.

"All good teams go through a spell of games unbeaten and Fleetwood are doing just that at the moment and they are looking to push into the top six.
"They are a team that are full of confidence and we have massive respect for them as a team, like we do for every side we play against and we are looking forward to the game."

Opposition: Fleetwood haven't lost a game since their visit to Port Vale on November 12th, with the Cod Army picking up three victories in their last five outings in SkyBet League One.

Dangerman - David Ball: The striker is Fleetwood's joint top-scorer this season, with nine goals to his name.
Starting his career at Manchester City, Ball was part of the youth side that won the 2008 final of the FA Youth Cup for City. Since leaving Manchester City, the striker has had spells at Swindon, Peterborough and Rochdale, before joining Fleetwood in July 2012.
In his 133 appearances for Fleetwood, the striker has scored over thirty goals, with his last goal coming in Fleetwood's 1-1 draw against Swindon in mid-December.

Last Time Out: Second half goals from Matty Taylor and Cristian Montano helped Rovers to victory when the sides met at the Mem back in November.

What only one change. I fancy us to do well today.

 

Great. Now we will lose. Every time you say we will do well, we get stuffed

 

I'm here just got home from work great start to my week off next week a reds loss and hopefully a point or 3 for the blues

 

Come on Gas. We can do this.

 

So fleetwood have better training facilities then us

 

Anyone else bored yet?

 

I fancy Ellis to get a couple more today.

 

Southend vs Rochdale is a game to keep an eye on. Rochdale are 5th and are facing Southend who are 1 place above us. If we beat Fleetwood and Southend fail to win, we go 6th in the table. A draw in their game would be good for us as we gain points on Rochdale.

 

I think Taylor will finally score. Seems ages ago that he did.

 

FFS
