Is Ward right wing back or Thomas?
I would prefer Thomas through the centre.
Also, on the basis of what people have seen, is Bilongo an upgrade on Gordon?

We've yet to settle, Northampton battling for everything as is their style.

Northampton definitely the better team in the first 25 minutes. Early days...

Not great so far.
We'll do well to get to half time all square.

Buckinghamshire's finest are 2 down against Wrexham all-stars. Rain is forecast.
Northampton will struggle this season. Unfortunately I think we will as well.
Have we ever played well in the first game of the season? I remember a 4-1 against Reading but little else.

I thought we won the second-half of the first-half quite comfortably. Enjoyable except for the commentary team from Northampton Radio. The usual lazy tropes: Bristol, Memorial Ground . . . what a load of cobblers! Still, it's free, and that's alright by me. #UpTheROVERS

Rovers slowly improving as the half went on, not exciting at all, both recent friendlies were far more entertaining to watch….so far….

We looked good in defence which is an improvement on last year.
We've also improved overall as the game went on.
Not the most inspiring first half but early doors and the potential is there.
The quality of the picture on BRTV is excellent. The Radio Bristol commentary is also a huge improvement.

I hope Hutchinson and Thomas get more ball in second half,they combine well,good players. We work hard off the ball that's good. I think we'll win by 1 or 2.🤞
