Bristol Rovers v Charlton | Match Thread | Saturday 16th March 2019

Empty platitudes like 'the team needs its leader'...really? So what explains our good record over the last few months? 

I'll tell you who the team doesn't need. Its washed-up former Premiership midfield sack of potatoes, Darren 'he'll bloody score now I've said this' Pratley

Feel sorry for Parker. Much better with Taylor than Igor who I fear has lost it.

Quite a defensive midfield on paper. Hope Bielik, Pratley and Cullen can keep out of each other's way.

Bielik not in mid

3-5-2 with Pearce, Bielik and BFG and CB

Dunno how I feel about either Dijksteel or Purrington as Wing Backs though

They both young and fit - so no problem covering the ground and tracking back.

Don't expect too much trickery and guile. But if they keep it simple and get some crosses in, they'll have done the attacking part well enough.

Blue shorts against a team who wear white and blue?...

Yellow shirts against a team that wear blue and white.

And yeah, dropping Parker immediately? That makes no sense considering he offers far more of a physical presence than Igor in what's expected to be a battle 

OK let's see if I was right to moan

2' The wind will play its part here today. A Bauer clearance from inside his own box just blew straight back again! #brfc 0 #cafc 0

Sunderland 1-0 down

Light winds, humid and warm in Hong Kong.

3' Rovers get rid of the delivery. #brfc 0 #cafc 0

5' Sercombe's shot from outside the box is well blocked by Bauer. #brfc 0 #cafc 0

Grey clouds scudding across the sky, blowin' a hoolie down here in Sunny Cornwall.

Rain dreckly.

Following from inside Printworks, I'll double drop if Igor scores

9' Good build-up play leads to Taylor winning a corner. #brfc 0 #cafc 0
