“He is much more considered than Barton and has looked to shore up our leaky defence.” (Q&A)

“Matt Taylor was my personal choice of the available managers at the time and he has been great. He is much more considered than Barton…”

The sun is shining and the sky is blue. What a fantastic day for some footy. Can we keep this fantastic run going in front of what’s looking like a very healthy crowd? Didn’t listen to the pre match radio last night so for House and Draper being fit. That said, we didn’t do too badly without them on Tuesday but the Gas will be a much tougher test. Come on lads

 

[Davidimp]

Just looked at the availability for seats for today, nearly all gone!
Kids for a quid and two big wins have definitely helped sales

 

[Cricklewoodimp]

A virtual full house, unbeaten since January 1st, what can possibly go wrong? Setting off soon with my usual optimism still intact. A win today and things start to get interesting.

Hope Rovers have read the script !

Highly unlikely, but what a lovely day to move into a play off position. 3 points please. Come on City

Sadly won't be there today. My brother who is also a life long fan and season ticket holder is critically ill in hospital. Normally goes with his lad so none of us there today .
I hope the lads put on another sparkling performance today and get another win.
Stay safe and enjoy the game.

Would feel more confident with a fully fit House, can we get him through with almost a fortnight after?

Expect Bishop could come back into the team, maybe Moylan up front or just off Taylor?

Virtually full is the capacity 10380 or is it more than that now

 

[Pompeyimp2]

Hope we can keep the intensity going and the run continues - things have been known to go wrong in front of a full house at SB - not today with this group of players however!
