Bristol Rovers vs Lincoln Match Day Thread

[gasandelectricity]

Feels like weeks since we've had a league one fixture at home on a Saturday.

Here's to 3 points!

[Gasshole]

I think we will grind out the win. 2:1.
CMON you super blues 💙🤍💙🤍

[supergas]

They're in decent form - three wins in a row (all competitions) and P10 W5 D3 L2 in their last ten league matches. I'd take a draw but hope we can go out and be positive - they've got no clean sheets in their last seven league games...

[Hudson1883]

Rovers 2 - 1 Lincoln

A surprise victory not just to Gasheads but the entire league.

Chris Martin & Hutchinson.

We are where we are.....both clubs claim different momentum directions since appointments of their respective managers.
It's going to take most of our players playing at their very best, taking half chances and full chances when they present themselves just to keep in the game imo.

A draw and or win is not out of the parameters, but we'll need to have more of a coaching plan than before.... Lincoln are a wiley team and deserve to be respected.

Tough challenge.
1-2 to them.
Sunshine and swills before and after.
Fun on the Road, but ultimately a Gas defeat.

See some of you shortly... UptheGas!

[TAGas]

Scrappy 1-0 win for the gas!

Martin

[Gassy]

Win this and it’s paper over the cracks, but Taylor can have 1 more game. Lose or draw this and he’s got to go.

But seriously - this will be a tough game. Lincoln are a good team, in good form. We will need to be at our absolute best to win this. A draw will be a solid result.

It’s also important that the performance is decent if we do lose, I want to see some progress on the pitch

[Russgas]

Today we are up against the set piece experts,they will put our defence and goalkeeper under serious pressure.
I honestly don't think we have looked solid at any game yet this season and this has been the real issue.
We are always capable of nicking a goal but we need a real solid gritty performance back there today if we are going to come out on top.🤞🤞

[gasheadmichal]

2:0 we need it for stats to look good or bad.
Hehe

[Sir Trevor]

Set piece experts indeed.

50% of their goals from set pieces.

Crawley Town recently showed they are "slightly" vulnerable to swift counter attacks.

This 3-0 defeat was their only away league defeat since January.

Can we copy their gameplan?

[2nd May 1990]

I think we’re in danger of showing Lincoln too much respect based on recent form. Drill down into those three wins on the trot and you have an easy win over Chesham, who are hardly setting the National League South alight, scraping a win against Northampton, who were down to ten when the winning goal went in, and a narrow victory over Stockport, who after a strong start to the season, are going through a lean patch. No reason we can’t win today.

[justagasaway]

Comfortable home victory expected.

Squad right up for it hopefully

Chris Martin to score I reckon


Ps Rovers History day in Thatchers Bar 1230

Like your positivity . Like Martin and Forde up front and RS coming good ( or maybe dropped as he's been sh**e so far ) anyway I'm going for a 2-0 win and a good performance

Hopefully Connor Taylor’s decent showing last weekend will help his confidence and composure, always tough game against the imps but crossed fingers we can continue our steady improvement. Hutchinson to start and grab a goal and assist 3-2 win

[badengas]

3-2 Gas ?

[gastric]

Weirdly optimistic for today
2-1 gas win I reckon

[GasAttacK]

Possibly our toughest match of the season so far. Certainly our toughest match at home in my opinion. I know Wycombe are top at the moment, but they weren't when we played them, and I expect Lincoln to be above them come May.

Lincoln have a superb record over the last 12 months and are a bit of a bogey side for Rovers. We lost 5-0 at their place in March and not too long ago they scored 6 at the Mem.

Can any side in English football match their away record over the last 15 games?

9 Wins
5 Draws
1 Loss

Honestly, I'd be very happy with a draw from this one.

I'd probably line up:

Griffiths
Moore, Taylor, Wilson, Mola
Conteh, Lindsay
Forde, Sinclair, Hutchinson
Martin

Sotiriou hasn't done enough to justify a start at the moment, but I'd keep Hutchinson on the left with licence to roam.

You could play any 2 of Ward, Lindsay or Conteh at DM.

Hopefully Promise is fit enough for a place on the bench, because Martin won't last the 90.

[eric]

I’m feeling optimistic so going for 1-1. 🤞

[gasandelectricity]

Martin to open his account x2 with a 2-0 win.

[dulwichgas]

2-2 Martin and Hutch
