If you're free this afternoon(Tuesday) why not wander up to Cribbs to see our Development Squad/Reserve team managed by Marcus Stewart take on Championship side Bournemouth's Reserves. Gill, Brunt, Kenneth, Harrold and Goddard are all likely to play a part; as well as some of the youngsters coming through, some benchwarmers and sometimes one or two triallists. KO 2pm, no admission charge.
Gough Southway Kenneth Keary Green Hunter Gill Goddard Harrison Harrold Harding No changes at HT During second half Rigg,Lucas and Greenslade on for Goddard, Harrold and Hunter. A hard game against good opposition, though we had chances. Kenneth and Gill both played full 90 minutes...I think both are ready for a return. Paterson hobbling around with leg still in some sort of protective cast. Best player....Southway...a real powerhouse performance. Sean O'Driscoll watched the first half! Probably about to put in an offer for one of ours! HT 0-1 FT 0-2 Both goals at the beginning of each half. http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/development-defeat-1017865.aspx
Good to see Gill and Kenneth get a game. I expect Kenneth chances to be limited though in all honesty. Gill may get a chance to prove his worth, but when he came on the other day, he barely touched the ball from what I can remember.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Kenneth back. He's back to fitness and really giving it his all in these matches. I can see McChrystal being 'rested' Gill is tackling like I never saw before.....Norburn could be doing some sitting on the bench soon.
gills last season so ward will want to see what he can do. if gill got 90 mins today i expect to see him start or get at least 30 mins on saturday. i rate mcchrystal and parkes over kenneth. i would keep kenneth as sub. no point swapping the back line unless needed as the back is fine. its been the midfield and up front thats been the issue. lets see what gill can do and now brunt is back harrold will be on the bench i suspect on saturday, our midfield and up front options may get sorted. i would be happier if we get an experienced winger. but harrison, santos & lockyer have been doing good. thanks for the update p49
