Another 3 points and a rare clean sheet.
Thats 57 points which is our best points total in L1 since 2000 remarkably 24 years ago
Anyone recall us missing three consecutive penalties before?
Taylor must stay.

Just got back..
Lovely eve on the malecon glos road where the drinks in the restaurant is cheaper than the pub!? At least you can pay cash though.... and have a choice.
Anyhoos, onto something far less important..
As 0-0s were going, this one was heading in a decent direction until m o m LT decided to do something special again, like make another run. His precision passing and breaking runs is a gem... he's also laid on more balls than my ex. Definitely worthy of accolades here.
And, Bags until substitution... don't know why? I thought he was our best defender.
Scotty again looking dangerous.
Yep we played some pretty stiff until the penalty area...but we're getting around this and dominating some teams in final third.
Really liked Luca tonight and Vale. Even Evans passed one decent ball...
I think we possessed better technical abilities than Cambridge who were well organised, physical and fast....they looked dangerous from set pieces and counter....yep they're a good strong architect 3rd division outfit.
Nice for CM to continue to score. The pen award was soft, and a joke shot really, we're obviously in this zone where can't define a penalty taker atm. Good job we're not off to Euros I guess.
A good win, I suppose, MT .... Now we move on to Peterborough and jch love in. What could possibly go wrong...?

If we fail to score tonight we will beat the current club record by one minute. Longest run with no League goal at home 488 mins Gary Penrice, 27 mins v York C, 14.5.1985 Gary Penrice, 65 mins v Notts Co, 1.10.1985 We last scored in the 51st min against Carlisle we have had 4 goalless matches since so another blank tonight 39 mins plus 5 x 90 mins total 489 mins. We just failed in our quest for another unwanted club record, by the skin of our teeth...

i2-prod.bristolpost.co.uk/incoming/article9226169.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_3550862-2.jpg Kamil Conteh was one of two players Bristol Rovers paid a fee for over the past two transfer windowsChris Martin scored his 16th League One goal of the season as Bristol Rovers claimed a late 1-0 victory over Cambridge at the Memorial Stadium. The Rovers striker fired low into the goal after 87 minutes as he converted Luke Thomas' cross, with the Pirates scoring at home for the first time in five games. That goal made up for Martin's earlier gilt-edged miss - the 35-year-old former Norwich and Derby forward was unable to convert a 33nd-minute penalty. U's goalkeeper Will Mannion dived to his left to stop the striker's low, poorly-placed shot, after Paul Digby had been penalised for a foul on Scott Sinclair, as the Rovers winger attacked following Luke Thomas winning the ball just outside the Cambridge area. The visitors threatened throughout via set-pieces, as Digby and Macauley Bonne both headed first-half corners over the crossbar. And Mamadou Jobe went even closer when his 60th-minute header crashed off the woodwork as the defender met a Danny Andrew free-kick. Luca Hoole cleared Liam Bennett's shot off the line in the last minute of stoppage time to preserve Rovers' result, after another Cambridge corner. i2-prod.bristolpost.co.uk/incoming/article9226481.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_JS329655908.jpgConnor Taylor

I’m on board as soon as you mention Glos road, grew up directly on it from 5-21 yrs old. Even after moving away (as was the parents house) I lived in Eastville, Fishponds, Frenchay, Emersons, but whenever I went home to BS7 I used to sit on the wall outside of my parents house and be entertained by the everyday ‘goings on’ and it was usually very entertaining. On Saturday’s in BS7, home games my brother and I would leave home at 10.30am for a slow and enjoyable walk up to the Vic, usually knocking on the door to gain early access, before sauntering on to the Oak and Wellie, as well as regular friends, we always met loads of the usual faces that we knew, but yet did not know, and then always had a laugh meeting the same people at an away game trying to place the face ha ha…. Lots of effort last night, and we got the result we needed, but it could have gone either way.

Get your sun tan lotion out as we're on Severn Beach so you know what sort of match to expect! Anyone who wants it more will get it. So, if we stuff Cambridge I'm sure Gary Monk will give them a mouthful.... imagine that? A mouthful of Gary Monk... 🤔 Anyways I digress.... £5.10 is too much for lager in this establishment, I guess we'll have to try another.....oh and the match? Yea...a bore 0-0 probably. Only 2 to go after this....🥱 Enjoy the eve everyone....*hic* Yuk 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure we would recognise the same old reprobate faces that act like wandering monsters in a dungeons and dragons way!
