Worth keeping an eye on them tomorrow night.They have been a solid side this year but their centre back partnership recently has been a makeshift veteran left back alongside a young loanee.Bugiel is a tough bas**rd up front but I’d back our boys to handle him. Kelly could be a threat in behind but I’m turning in to the boy who cried wolf about that type of warning.
We really do need a result next weekend, just as important now as it was four games ago. Then it was to rid ourselves of looking over our shoulder at relegation which although not disappearing altogether has receded quite a bit in a short time. Now the important bit is showing it is not just a flash in the pan, keep the good run going, and build enthusiasm in supporters that has been tested to the limit over a long period. The threads on this forum alone show the extent of relief many of us are now undergoing, and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised even more so by the management and players who must have been feeling the pressure when they were being questioned so much about their game. Its a good start, but we need to keep it going and finish the season well, and this game will be a very big test against a team with aspirations to get into the playoffs. Definitely a game to look forward to.
The good thing for rovers is the fact that Wimbledon have a fair bit of travelling to do as well this week, a steady away trip to Crawley on Tuesday night then another day of travelling Friday upto doncaster, not far off 1000 miles this week for them to also contend with.I believe this will take its toll on them also and can only bring the chances of a win for Rovers closer to actually happening. My money this week is on Craig to be booked at any time as 3 yellows in last 3 games so he is consistent, it's great to have a player who puts himself about and isn't scared to get stuck in, massive turn around has happened and I for 1 am so glad I took advantage of the season ticket black Friday sale to ensure next seasons season ticket. Doncaster win 3-1 on Saturday, Ironside to score 2, Craig to be booked.

Doncaster win 3-1 on Saturday, Ironside to score 2, Craig to be booked.They were at home to Crawley tonight. Even if they were away it is only a short trip to Crawley. About 25/30 miles I would estimate. Where on earth do you get 1000 miles from.It is about 185 miles from Wimbledon to Doncaster.

That title's definitely mine.

That title's definitely mine.Pedantry is an excessive concern with minor or unimportant details or rules. Pointing out that a Wimbledon to Doncaster round trip is significantly less than 1,000 miles isn’t pedantic, it’s just correcting something that is glaringly wrong. Like challenging someone who claims that Doncaster is in France or that Rovers are in the Premier League.It feels like me pointing that out is pedantic but maybe as the expert you could advise…

They don’t go back until after the game. So 185 miles is 815 less than 1000 so as you say I was definitely not being pedantic. I will leave that to SS There is no way I want to steal your pedantic title from you SS

The bugger has me roaming all over the shop. Especially at nights.
CC3, I am finding your posts increasingly good to read.
Wimbledon has not been a happy hunting ground for us in recent times, but with the increased confidence, the new recruits and the attitude of the team you have to fancy Rovers to give it a go at getting a result here. I don't think we ought to be over-confident or gung ho about how well we are going to do, but getting a point away from home would be great, getting more would be excellent.
