This has a loss written all over it unless we have been toughening up! I fear it could be like Accrington end of last season. Fleetwood in the relegation zone will battle in this one and it could be horrible. At least it looks like the rain will have stopped. Let's have a battling team out tonight, if we do I will go for the draw. Otherwise could be another horrible night.....

We have a footballing blind spot when it comes to norvern teams away in winter when it's freezing, raining or both! Accy, Morecambe anyone?
Why can't we play them all away at start of season!?
Will our namby pamby team put up a fight in their flip flops? I doubt it.
I'll predict a scrappy 1-0 loss. It'll help them more than us. Safe journey Gas and enjoy as this is about as good as it gets with cr@p football.
Meh!

It’s going to be an ugly night of football, huge respect to those that are making the journey. I predict a 1-0 loss by an own goal. Not sure I can muster the enthusiasm to tune into ifollow at 3.45am, but will try…COYB!.

I'll be watching at work (naughty).
Feeling very underwhelmed and a little pessimistic about this one so a dour 0-0 seems appropriate and is as good as we're likely to get.

Shenanigans off and on pitch. Constant changes in lineup. More interested in crowd pleasing then closing gig on time. They're there for the taking. Unless Mick flies in from Maui to be gk.

We have played Fleetwood Town 17 times since September 2012, W5, D6, L6, Best win 0-3, loss 1-4 and 5 of the 6 draws were 0-0... Fleetwood Town were founded in 1908, are nicknamed the Cod Army and play at Highbury stadium which has a capacity of 5,327.. Manager Charlie Adam had a sparkling career at Rangers, Blackpool, Liverpool, Stoke, Reading and home town Dundee.. Charlie took his first venture into management with Fleetwood on New Year's Eve last year... Supporters of the club are sometimes known as the Cod Army, which is also used as a nickname for the club, alongside The Fishermen. The club's traditional nickname are the Cods. According to a 2019 survey called 'The League of Love And Hate', Fleetwood supporters named Blackpool (83%), Morecambe (74%) and Accrington Stanley (62%) as their biggest rivals, with Preston North End (51%) and Wigan Athletic (47%) following. Fleetwood are currently laguishing 3rd bottom, 7 points from safety and BRFC are in 12th place... I'm going to be ultra bold and predict a hard earned 0-2 victory... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/ed/Fleetwood_Town_F.C._logo.svg/180px-Fleetwood_Town_F.C._logo.svg.png V upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/Bristol_Rovers_F.C._logo.svg/200px-Bristol_Rovers_F.C._logo.svg.png

I believe an unchanged starting line up but a welcome return for Grant Ward on the bench after a long absence through injury. He has been really missed. We need to be physically competitive tonght to match Fleetwood and keep Stockley quiet.

A soggy Tuesday night game against a very poor north-west side struggling for survival...what could possibly go wrong?

The Rovers commentary duo are a painful listen, switched to away commentary, Rovers started with intent, Fleetwood growing into the game.

Fair play to each and everyone thats up there.

Sounds like neither team getting shots on target.... probably just as well now they are getting into it!

Nice bit of game management, slowing the game down after Fleetwood sparked into life
Brainy Rovers football again. Whatever next?
