 Rovers unbeaten in seven games. Dartford five points in their last three games. Steve Mildenhall and Ollie Clarke are available. There has been one previous meeting - in 1934, Rovers beat Dartford in the FA Cup 1-0 (McNestry) ... incidentally this win got us a 3rd. round tie against Man. Utd. (we lost 3-1).

McNestry. Would you have him back?
Edit:
Actually, yes!
George McNestry (7 January 1908 – March 1998) was a professional footballer who played as an outside forward in The Football League for seven different teams between 1926 and 1937. He is the only player to have won the Division Three (South) Cup in two successive seasons, winning it with Bristol Rovers in 1935 and Coventry City in 1936.
McNestry, who was born in Chopwell, County Durham, started his footballing career playing for his home town club Chopwell Institute. In 1926 he had an unsuccessful trial with Arsenal and in August that year joined Bradford Park Avenue, with whom he made his Football League debut. He failed to settle with a club early in his career, only staying for a single season with Bradford and each of his next three clubs; Doncaster Rovers, Leeds United, and Sunderland.
After joining Luton Town in 1930, McNestry finally became a first team regular and scored 26 times in 69 League games during a two-year stay. He joined Bristol Rovers in 1932 and stayed there for three years, playing 113 games and scoring 42 goals, before moving to Coventry City for two years from 1935.

Need a win tonight, imo, to get some momentum back.
The worst thing that can happen to an unbeaten run (when you're after promotion) is that it grinds into a run of draws where the team becomes more interested in keeping the run going, than going all out to win.

McNestry. Would you have him back? His record of scoring 42 goals in 113 games for us, is somewhat better than what we have at present . . . so yes I would have him back, if it were possible and/or practical. |

Its a good side..... would have given Ellis the nod over Matty personally.
Hopefully though Matty will come good .... what odds on a goal or two from him tonight?

Solid look to the side tonight. Would still like to have seen Ellis given a start though. Taylor must do better... 1 goal vs Nuneaton nowhere near good enough...
