Inert Gas to be overcome by superior U's at the Mem 12:36 - Mar 15 with 2454 views

Tonight, the Super U’s head to the Memorial Ground Bristol Rovers to play the Gas who under ruffian Joey Barton are currently 8th in the league after only 2 defeats in their last 15 games. They have hopes of a top seven finish or even top three but I am sorry to disappoint JB, but they will fail in their bid.

Table (first time in weeks the entire table)

FGR 35 68
Northampton 36 60
Newport 36 59
Tranmere 36 59
Exeter 34 58
Swindon 36 58
Sutton 35 57

Bristol Rovers 36 57
Mansfield 33 56
PV 34 53
Salford 34 49
Hartlepool 35 48
Crawley 35 48
Harrogate 35 43
Bradford 36 43
Walsall 36 43
Carlisle 35 40
Rochdale 34 39
COL U 36 39
Orient 34 36
Barrow 35 34
Stevenage 36 34

Oldham 34 31
Scunny 36 24

Aaron Collins is having his best season ever goal scoring wise. Since his uneventful loan spell at Colchester where he managed No goals in 7 appearances, he has gone on to score 8 goals in 15 apps at Morecambe, 14 goals in 72 apps for FGR and 13 goals in 38 apps for the Gas.

Mansfield though offer a better chance of that top seven finish than the Gas who I have to say are rather inert despite their decent run of results.

Anyway, let’s focus on the Super U’s. So, four games unbeaten our first double and consecutive victories for the first time this season.

We can go to the Mem with confidence and an approach which says we are not going to roll over this evening. An easy journey for Wessex and Mr and Mrs Witham and Noah will all be there. Wishing them all a safe journey.

Now my team selection is dependent upon returns from injury.

If fit then Dallison must partner Chambers. MWH at Right Back.
Wiredu, Skuse and Chilvers in midfield and then Big John Sears and Edwards up front.
Doubts injury wise remain over Huws and Judge but a place on the bench for Judge if fit.

But we will see.

Now we know that WB would rather do anything but play two strikers, but even he must have seen how the team purred for those 15 minutes second half against Scunny with two strikers, a positive mindset and defensive woes banished. If only we could bottle that and sell it, we would be top of the league. The shackles had been removed and the confidence coursed through the player’s veins.

I know that we cannot always reproduce that form but when we do it is a pleasure to watch the team and the supporters appreciate it. The expressions on the faces of the players said it all. It was like Barrow away again with players jumping into the crowd and ecstasy amongst the club and supporters.

Please let us not return to type tonight and let ourselves down with another non appearance and a 3-0 defeat. Instead take the game to them and go for the three points. It would be the perfect result to take us into the televised game on Monday against FGR.

My prediction 3-2 to the U’s with Edwards, Big John and Chilvers on the scoresheet.

The final ten games: 11 points needed

Bristol Rovers A
FGR H
Tranmere H
Harrogate A*
Stevenage H
Exeter A
Bradford H
Newport A
Walsall H
Hartlepool A*

Weather tonight 9 degrees Celsius, mostly cloudy no rain. A decent night for football.
Safe journey to the travelling faithful

Don’t forget it is on iFollow as well.

Enjoy the game.

Up the U’s

We're here - just had late lunch in Clevedon overlooking the historic pier. M25 was a nightmare with long closure but M4 was a doddle.
