' We can go to Barnsley and win' says Bristol Rovers manager Darrell Clarke

 

This is the thing right, we have been so bad going forward, our club is the sort of club where I wouldn't be surprised if we end up thumping Barnsley 3 or 4 nil. But I am expecting the reverse scoreline, even though we have one of the best defensive records so far in the league.

 

Too much of a footballing cliche that I fear when a side is firing blanks. Barnsley have uncharacteristically lost their last two outings and whose in town next ? Why do I always fear for the Rovers in situations like this ?

 

Argyle and Oxford both win, definitely not a dry blackthorn day !

 

At least we have one of the best defensive records in the league

 

I see Accrington are in the play-offs (fair play to them) must be all the money the manager has been given by the owners but seriously it proves you don't have to spend to be up there.

 

Well nothing's changed yet I'm afraid. - Had to be out all day so couldn't attend the Scunthorpe game, rushed home for about 5.00pm, turned on the local HTV news full of anticipation and hope for a good result, to be told by the female presenter that we had not only lost 2-1 at home, but Matty Lund scored the only goal for Rovers! Does nobody proof read this **** before they thrust it in front of the bimbo to read out? Must be the worst excuse for a local news service in the country, even worse than BBC local news. Oh, and I still think league 2 awaits us, I'm sorry to say.

 

We've only won 11 games I think it is this year in the league

 

And the local rag is crap too!

 

Henry Winter, the Times correspondent watched the game and was quite complimentary about the style of play and the fact that the lads created some good chances.

 

Sadly we are at the point now that the style of play and creating of good chances count for diddly squat! Only points on the board and goals are what matter from now on, and nobody cares if they are achieved by sheer luck, own goals, deflected penalties or aliens! Getting to the point where we can't afford to be too picky any longer!
