Why am I going​

 

Bristol Rovers 3-1 Gillingham (Taylor 2,Harrison,JET)

 

Rovers 5-0 Gills

JE departs

 

Rovers 1 Gills 0

 

Gas 3 - 0 Gills (taylor ×2, easter )

 

Bristol Rovers 2-1 Gillingham (Harrison, penalty; Nouble)

 

Just a heads up.... Easter is on a 3 match ban and only served 1 game of that. So he will be missing our game this weekend

 

Why do you all think you will lose? I thought you guys are a good side. Just missed out last season and you managed to keep Dack as well.

 

We've had a very poor record since January. Only 11 wins out of the 40+ games we've played in 2016 and haven't kept a clean sheet in 23 competitive games. At the moment we are playing very poor football and got beaten by Oldham at the weekend who were rock bottom and had been for the last month.

Needless to say we have a lot more faith in your players than our own at the moment.

 

Wow. I didnt know it was that bad, without seeing those stats!

Bet you win now and keep a clean sheet too.

 

Cheers captain jack, will revise my prediction
Gas 3 - 0 Gills (taylor ×2 , bodin )

 

Rovers 2-1 Gills (Taylor, Harrison, McDonald)

 

Bristol Rovers 4 Gills 1 ( Dack)

 

Although we would all love a win, most of us are very doubtful whether that will happen lol.

 

Going by what you are all saying, I will predict a 3-1 Rovers win.

You will score 1st because we only seem to start playing well when we go behind.
Our last 7 league games in a row we have conceded 1st.
Out of these 7 games...
We lost 1 (away at Sheff Utd losing 1-0 & we had 10 men and had chances to get back and win)
We drew 3 (away at 2nd place Bradford, home to 7th place Rochdale and home to 16th place Walsall)
We won 3 (away at 6th place Northampton, home to 4th place Port Vale and away at 20th place Swindon)

So im sure you will score 1st and if you are as bad as you say, we should still end up getting a result.
Therefore, I predict 3-1 to Rovers with goals from Colkett (Brilliant Chelsea midfield loanee who is better than Tammy Abraham), Taylor penalty and Gaffney.

However, I wouldnt be surprised at all if you end up getting all 3 points because we seem to be the team who ends good runs but when someone else is on a bad run we end that too by losing!

Good luck after Saturday and safe trip to any of you who is coming to Bristol. Bring a brolly by the way

 

Bristol Rovers 1 v Gillingham 2 (Taylor, Dack, Cody)

Well if CJS is right then we have a problem, every time we score first we lose, every time we score second we lose, every time we fail to score we lose.
That's why I've gone for a win. (that and the fact I'm mad)

 

Head to head stats with Rovers being the home team...

Played 47

Rovers have...
Won 31
Drew 7
Lost 9
Scored 94
Conceded 50

So on average, we score exactly 2 goals per game and you score 1 goal per game. Maybe it will end 2-1 then

 

Thanks for that CJS, I've tried to be really optimistic and go for a Gills win, then you come along and bombard me with stats to show how it's not just this season, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN CRAP.

I will have to stay on suicide watch for a few more weeks yet.

 

Im sorry. I think I have jinxed us already so I am going on a bit to unjinx us
