Bristol Rovers v Blackpool Matchday Thread

[avftt_admin]

Predictions, updates and reaction here.

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

My prediction is a postponement.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

I predict the away fans will get very wet.

 

[SpionKop]

If it’s on I’ll go for a reaction to Grayson sacking and a Pool win 0-2

 

[GJJW]

4 0 to the mighty

 

[Love BFC🍊]

Hope the games on and the lads go out on the pitch full of passion and fight and come away with the three points UTMP
Onwards and Upwards. Sea sea Seasiders

 

[Poolman]

I predict the away fans will get very wet.

Is it in doubt?

 

[Walnut]

David Dunn doesn't inspire me, probably doesn't inspire the players either.

 

[Killingmesoftly]

Away win...the players will be lifted by Grayson a departure...

 

[Whitstabletangerine]

I believe we will be winning 5-0 and the match abandoned on 80 minutes.

 

[Athers]

I think we’ll lose but play better. Green shoots of recovery and all that. Not a happy hunting ground.

Feel for all the fans on that open terrace. Maniacs

 

[Smethwick]

Game on and no inspection planned according to Rovers forum.

 

[clappers]

Nil nil

 

[Cleveleys boy]

1-1
Nuttall to come off the bench to snatch a point

 

[B_Block_Tangerine]

Weather holding up fine down here so far. Bit of drizzle but that’s as bad as it’s got

 

[SydneyTangerine]

3 - 1 to the Pool

 

[TheOldKop]

0-3 with a scintillating attacking game from the mighty

 

[Ghost_of_Max]

I have predicted no end of wins lately and so am just going for a 3-1 defeat.

 

[tartanseasider]

Goin for 2-0 to Rovers, Dunn doesn’t inspire me. Hope I’m proved wrong

 

[voyeur]

5-3 to Rovers, a one off theatre of chaos, action at both ends.

Edit: Rovers have no wins in their last 14, so a good opportunity for us, if the players want it enough. And we can tighten up at the back.

That press conference the other day wouldn't inspire turkeys to cancel Christmas!

I think you need change username or at least your avatar.

 

[Tangerinenick]

Barrow game off - wonder if Evo will be there?

 

[adamswonkyteeth]

Judging by the conditions, it could be a decent leveller with the wind etc and we do have a big team these days for those 50/50 high balls.

 

[Hadley]

2-0 to the Mighty with Nathan Jones sat in the stand.

 

[M61Exile]

Three changes; Husband, Macdonald and Virtue start; Skipper Jay Spearing misses out with concussion
Well including Husband and McDonald gets a

[Ghost_of_Max]

Turton and Bola dropped

 

[clappers]

MacDonald back in. Good luck to the lad.

 

[KhonKaenSeasider]

3-2 to the 'Pool, a 28/1 shot in my lucky 31 correct score acca.....

 

[HappyasLarry]

Anyone work out how that will work? Are any of Ronan, Dewsbury-Hall or Virtue a right sided player?

 

[voyeur]

Good line up, wrong keeper, for me.

Back three, Heneghan, Moore, Husband. Feeney and MacDonald wing backs.

 

[NewburyOne]

Amazing that Dunn has spotted our weaknesses after 1 game in charge. Bola and Turton have been liabilities at the back. Virtue is the only option in the Spearing role. Not a day for half measures, the lads need to get stuck in and take it to Bristol.

 

[BornOfFrustration]

C'mon you pool

 

[xows]

MacDonald for Bola - well done Mr Dunn

 

[Stu99]

Wonder if Grayson and Macdonald fell out? Other than the Lincoln game he was quality and always put a shift in.

Well Dunn

 

[Athers]

Pro active changes. Well done, Double D

 

[Tangerine Sheep]

Hope there is relief Grayson gone and a desire to impress whoever is to taking over.

 

[Chunkylad]

Close to the line up I would go with except I can’t see how the two big lumps playing together can really work?
Would have a quick player alongside either Groot or Madine.

 

[Tangerinenick]

Anyone work out how that will work? Are any of Ronan, Dewsbury-Hall or Virtue a right sided player?

Virtue can play on the right side of a three. So can Connor Ronan - I strongly suspect Dewsbury Hall can also play there. The team picked by Dunn has far more balance

 

[HappyasLarry]

Hope there is relief Grayson gone and a desire to impress whoever is to taking over.

Interesting one that isn't it - will they be glad he's gone and feel they have a better chance without being restrained by his woeful tactics?

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

Good line up, wrong keeper, for me.

Back three, Heneghan, Moore, Husband. Feeney and MacDonald wing backs.

I agree, I don't rate Maxwell at all, and other than being a Larry signing I don't see what he's done to be the current first choice. He's all over the place whenever the ball comes towards him.

Decent distribution, everything else is a negative for me, especially his size.

 

[GJJW]

Mafoumbi is better than Maxwell. Absolute waste of a signing.

 

[HatfulofHollow]

Mafoumbi is better than Maxwell. Absolute waste of a signing.

I quite liked what I saw of Maxwell last Saturday (didn't see Tuesday's game) - of course long term surely Alnwick remains the target?

 

[GJJW]

Yes Alnwick as no. 1. Release Howard and Maxwell at end of season and retain the other two as back up.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I thought Mafoumbi was really decent, can't understand how he has never been given a chance this season.

 

[GJJW]

The reason is Grayson

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

Turton and Bola dropped

David Dunn for Manager!!

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

Close to the line up I would go with except I can’t see how the two big lumps playing together can really work?
Would have a quick player alongside either Groot or Madine.

We loaned him to Plymouth!

We have to hope Ronan or Dewsbury-Hall can fill that gap. Supersub Delfounso will be on late on, unless Dunn surprises us with Nuttall.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Fair play to all those who have gne to the game today, if the weather is anything like it is here then it will be thoroughly miserable.
