Hello, good evening and welcome. Bristol Rovers are a team that’s felt familiar for some time, and yet we’ve never met in competitive circles. After parting with a fair few notes to prise Barry Hayles from us, we’ve not so much as shot a glance in each other’s general direction. Now, however, we’re getting a proper introduction – and we’re all well …
Oh gawd, is it really that time again? It’s Luton Town indoors and it’s much like hosting a child’s birthday party (probably) – you don’t want a bunch of noisy brats running around your living room and making a mess, but you don’t have a choice in the matter. The only hope …
We’ve gone from the ridiculous to the sublime, or something like that. Last week’s win indoors agains the Gills came as a surprise to us, we won’t lie to you. After we’d been put to the sword by one of the in-form sides in the division, we didn’t exactly think much …
It’s hard to know what irritated people more: the 5-1 home humiliation at the hands of Oxford or the news that our manager – 49-year-old former Colchester United striker Teddy Sheringham – had registered for action. The press went into overdrive, Borochat went into meltdown and we went to our bunker for tea and crumpets and to see the whole …
Two things in this humble existence of ours are certain, apparently – death and taxes. Not our words, but the words of Benjamin Franklin. Well, Benny, allow us to blow your 300-year-old mind with the news that a third thing is now all but guaranteed in life – that Boro’ will come out …
Oh good, Northampton – few places inspire us less. Look, we’ll get this over and done with – Sixfields isn’t the happiest of hunting grounds for Boro’ and we have absolutely naff all to show from the four times we’ve been to the Cobblers’ humble gaff. Even an exiled Coventry side were able …
If the gaffer is to be believed, this midweek beano down to Portsmouth “is not a game that we should be scared of“. After a decent enough point at Exeter last week, followed up with all three against Connor Wickham’s Wonders indoors at the weekend, you can see the reason behind Teddy’s …
It’s touch and go, you can be sure about that – going head to head with a great white shark on its own patch or taking our chances with Wycombe Wanderers indoors. Look, this is League Two and there’s no such thing as an ideal fixture – but the idea of inviting …
If you’ve lost five on the spin and find the idea of scoring a goal harder than inventing a perpetual motion machine, it’s not the best time to be on national telly. At least when you’re bowing out of John Stones’ Paint Trophy indoors against Dagenham and Redbridge, you can do it on …
The John Stones Paint Trophy – it’s probably fifth in the list of our priorities for the season, behind the league, the FA Cup, the league again, the Herts Senior Cup. It’s only because we’re already out the League Cup that it doesn’t prop up the half-dozen in our list. Our enthusiasm …
