Just listened to Dean's pre match interview and I have jumped the gun, he reckons that Martin Woods is still a week or two away from playing, sorry lads and lasses.

NY - you too are obviously not an accountant.
Our actual away record is won 8 drawn 3 lost 1 for 27 points out of 43.
It is the best away record of all the teams in all divisions.
Also i didnt realise that Chris Brown was so old.
At an average of 40 games a season he would have had to have played for them for 30 years to get those 1200 appearances in.
Sorry Ny but i couldnt resist pointing that out.
However, otherwise a good pre match summary but i wish we could get over the fixation with SoD and concentrate on the Rovers.
As Stanton has pointed out - a win today really sets up the New Years Day game with Sheff Utd.
I just wonder how many floating Rovers fans will make the effort to support the team.

Its another of one of those weeks with the top 3 teams having easy fixtures. Fingers crossed they all slip up and Donny carry on with this terrific away record.
RP appears to be working fine now for me. Anyone having problems let me know and I will pass it on.

Sorry Hound, I didn't check the number of games, just went off Dean in his interview. I also checked and double checked but missed the extra 2 in Brown's appearances. Maybe that's why he's slowed down a bit. Anyway thanks for the shout out, I will try to do better in the future. I had typed it all and then somehow lost it, so I had to start all over again.

Having a nice pint in The Sumners pub, at least its stopped raining
Spoke to a few Preston fans, they don't think they'll get owt today, not playing to good n can't finish. So that's us getting beat then

NY - my pointers to you were al in good fun i hope you understand.
A very creditable pre match summary without going OTT.
Well done.

Took it that way Hound, it's the old aged fingers you know.

Just had a look at the fixtures for our league and as Alex says, you would fancy Sheff Utd andf Tranmere for comfortable wins today and Brentford should be too good for Shrewsbury.
A win today for us would nicely open up a bigger gap for the top four.
Crikey - if football was that predictable it would be boring.
