I'll go with 2-1 to the Rovers hoping that the injury forced changes do not upset the team's rhythm.
I was going to say Ironside to score this game, but now I'll go with Biamou for the first if he starts with Biggins as the back-up.

Difficult to call this one. Yes our form has improved generally but away we are poor for some reason. But I'll stay positive and say 2-1 to Rovers . Biamou, Biggins

Didn't read your prediction Micky before mine. Great minds think alike or?

2-1 to Rovers. Molyneaux with the first. Either Adelakun or Biamou with the second.

Sorry... typo. Molyneux with the first.

Swindon 0-2 Rovers
Biamou to score ⚽

Nookie, no, I did mine Friday - just look at the time quoted on the site; we are just "great minds"!
I was expecting Rowe or Westbrooke to be the mid-field replacement.

Crazy. do you have some French blood in you? I used to write Molyneaux when he first joined us.

Second half not good for the heart - but it would have been easier if Molineux had not missed a "sitter"!

Finger trouble again! Molyneux!

Maybe there's some French DNA lurking within the family history, Micky. Je ne sais pas. It's a good excuse for my typo though - I think I'll use that!

I’ve only seen the highlights and listened to the “Home” commentary on iFollow and although the BBC report and Rovers sources saw it as fairly comfortable, it did look as though Swindon got the better of the second half. So we defended well, Swindon were not over-impressive in attack and it seemed more workmanlike than completely proficient.

Lo Tutala made some stops that the man on the bench could never have reacted to quickly enough. He would have watched a couple of them helplessly and his fans would have said “Jones had no chance”. And of course it would be true.

What on earth will McCann do with him and Lawlor who is obviously now injury-prone. Jones poor performances over the first part of the season is arguably the difference between Rovers having a chance of the play-offs and where we are now.

Over the last nine league games since we were thrashed by Stockport, we have 18 points. If we had earned points at that rate over 37 games we would be top, and over the season it would certainly be playoff standard and in most seasons, automatic promotion. OK, we have not played really top teams over that period, but it shows some of the potential this squad has.
Unfortunately, most of the improvement is probably the addition of two loanees - Adelakun and Lo Tutala. There is no chance to keep the goalkeeper, and little chance Adelakun - in the interview he said it is the hands of his team. How much salary would it need plus convincing him we would get promoted?
As far as a goalkeeper is concerned, one hopes the recent games do show we need a new GK. Cheque books need to come out, plus real input about possibly available keepers. McCann's comments about Jones and Lawlor in the past indicate he does not want to criticize his players in public, or he does not know what a good GK looks like. However the signing of Lo -Tutala indicates it is likely the former.
Those two saves in the second half, as Donaldo said, we have gone in with Jones between the sticks.

"would have gone in" - finger trouble again, or aggressive spell check!

I agree with minor qualifications. Since leaving Scunthorpe 6 years ago, Adelukan has played in 95 matches. He did play 44 times for Lincoln before they started to loan him out, but he has not really started regularly since then. He has not scored at anything like the rate he has for us anywhere else either even at Scunthorpe where he was a regular starter.

Assuming he gets offers at a higher level, games will not be guaranteed. If he stays he ought to get a fairly long term deal at a club where he has been more successful than anywhere else.

LoTulala too has not been playing regularly - there are 3 other goalkeepers ahead of him at Hull, so whilst his choices are not quite the same, perhaps a continuation of the loan might be possible.

I like your comments Donaldo, and hope you are more right than I was. An extension of the loan for Lo-Tutala could be the best for all parties. Hull did extend his contract, so must think there is value/talent there.
I did think we had a good chance to sign Adelakun, mainly for the reasons you stated. However, his comment about "it was in the hands of his team" set off alarm bells. Agents tend to go for highest combination possible of playing level and salary. May be I'm just too cynical!

It was evasive I agree, and it was not lost on me either. Adelukan is no longer young, relatively speaking, and will have been hardened by his experiences with the succession of clubs, but only sporadic starts and often at a lower level than the contracted club.

So what would you advise him to do as his agent? I’d say “big fish in (relatively) small pond” and extract the best possible deal. But I suppose I’m biased.
