*** Bristol Rovers vs Brighton and Hove Albion - Official Match Thread ***

[Silent Bob]

Great - nicely put - now for the FA Cup and STOKE

What about HARTLEPOOL?

 

[Silent Bob]

By the way Bournemouth play two games before we play another league game after next week, so even if we win they could still go above us.

They will lose to inform Walsall, and we will beat Hartlepool 1-0

certainly Hartlepool won't give us as much space to play as Bristol did today but I reckon we should have enough to get our revenge which will keep us at the top a little longer

FWIW I don't think Rovers were that much poorer than us today and in truly atrocious wind they used the conditions more to their advantage than we did (in sofar as we played our normal game passing - mostly - on the ground while they allowed the wind to bend long range efforts all over the place. Made for a tough game for Ankergren and our defenders who often found the ball swerving and coming back to them when they tried to clear). It does show how close this division really is and there will be no gimmes between now and the end of the season

Just read this after being at the match

It does reflect the emotions you go through watching at the ground, although even when we went behind I couldn't see us losing today.
