Bristol Rovers 1-2 Hartlepool United.....Monkhouse & Franks!!!!

Some of the crowd will talk like the Cadbury's Caramel sexy rabbit. The air will be filled with the sweet but disturbing aroma of cider farts. Two Poolies will be sick because of drinking cider.

Andy Monkhouse will continue to show a keen interest in being a footballer again and will curl a beauty into the top corner, Compton will cut in from the left to score a stunning goal by catching the keeper out with a vicious drive just inside the near post. Big Steve will come on for the last ten minutes and win some nice flick ons.

Only a draw though- we'll be defending badly after Orstin is sent off for a wild lunge in the 57th minute. One of Brizzle's will be an own goal that is deflected in off Simon Walton's pumping fist.

The first of two very big and challenging games as it's important we build on last week's deserved success over Accrington.

Our recent history against Rovers is pretty lousy with our last win at the Rec in, I think, 2006. However with Rovers on the back of two straight defeats and the crowd getting on their back from what I gather I'm confident we can get at least a point.

1-1 Baldwin header.

A win and I reckon we will go on a cracking run, 2-1 franks and burgess.

0-0.

Making the long trip down tomorrow and hoping to see my first win of the season, missed the last 3 home games!

Prediction 2-1 (Franks & James)

1-0 Bristol Rovers

0-1 franks

1.1 Monkhouse

Rovers 5-0 Pools

I predict we will do slightly better than last time we played there, when fortunately for us other results prevented our (probably deserved) relegation.
Which still leaves us losing.

I think 3-1 to pools

3-0 to 'em Wurzels

Pools 3-1 Monkhouse Burgess Compton Pen.

Like to think a cheeky 2-0, which would set us up for a tester against Oxford, but I have a very bad feeling about tomorrow. Although on my previous predictions I've predicated we'd win, every time. So maybe that's a good thing...

we're gunna be inconsistent for a while whilst the teams so young

2-0 defeat.

2-0 Pools

Franksy, Howard .........titter ye not ooh no please it's wicked to mock the afflicted

Do we know of walker is back?

Apparently will be on the bench according to the mail, as will Sweeney.

1-0 to them.

I'm not having a defeat prediction at the the end of this thread...it's gonna be 2-1 to us !!!!

no... 2-0... that way it will be 2-1 to us, otherwise we won't win!! You have to know how the laws of spawn and due-ness to us works

1-0 Pools

2-1 defeat from being 1-0 up

"Steve Howard did not travel due to illness".

come on lads !!!!

No Walker on the bench either.

Same starting 11

shame about Walker, who knows with Sir stevie, it is a long trip without his own private Limo!

Accrington 2-0 down already, fuck me they must be gash.

It is a shame but I'd rather he was 100% before he comes back into the team.

Any chances?

Alan Power, Colin Larkin and Ritchie Humphreys all scored today!

Should never have released them!!!

IOR Out!

Franks just hit the post.

Franks just smacked the post

1-0 down. Sounds like everyone backed off.

1-0 down, usual shite.

1 all James

1-1 James

Aye,.... 1-1

1-1 now usual shite....

Shit...yes!

Great to get one back straight away... this laying down to die lark is slowly being trained out of them. Rovers will be on the ropes now, we need to punish them. Fucking come on Pools!!!

Come on lads gets another, that quick equaliser could demoralise them.

Pools world does me head in reading out emails saying 'come on' etc who fucking cares?

Sounds like it was all Pools before their goal, so I'm glad they got one back so quickly.

Aye their confidence will be fragile as well, so hopefully we can take advantage

James with a second 1-2 come on!

Bang on the stroke of half time.
