So,for Joe it's back to the fc that gave him his first managerial job,something he is very grateful for.
He tells us Highbury has a narrow field of play and the sea winds can play apart in conditions.
Does a team change formation for a narrower pitch or is the difference from Mem to Highbury negligible?
Joe also says the 'Cod Army' can create an intimidating atmosphere for away teams.I can't see that worrying our lads,infact they would probably enjoy it.
Fleetwood are abit below our mid table form league placing,both fcs effectively half way.
We might be 'safe',but we're not 'safe safe' just yet.I think at 50 points we can relax,but let's just get as many points as possible.
Hopefully all came through the Addicks victory unscathed and if we can show some consistency after such a strong display, then we'll certainly give Fleetwood a game.
I imagine it'll be a fish n chips day for at least some of our fan-tastic travelling supporters.They were very tasty as I remember.
Come on Rovers!

Previous 10 seasons points for relegated teams who finished 21st..
21-22 = 40 pts
20-21 = 47 pts
19-20 - season cut short
18-19 = 50 pts
17-18 = 50 pts
16-17 = 49 pts
15-16 = 46 pts
14-15 = 50 pts
13-14 = 47 pts
12-13 = 48 pts
A win today would be perfect and take us to 51 points...UTG.

Ah,interesting BT. So,going by recent history we could do with 3 points to be 'safe safe'. Edit. Oops.As you pointed out.👍 |

Don't think we are doing too badly.
Got to take your chances though and that's the real difference.

Rovers on 60% possession - 10 shots to 4, 3 on target to 1.
FGR 2-0 down and will likely be relegated today...
Plymouth losing 0-2 at home to the Imps.
