I've not looked forward to a derby for some time like i am for tomorrow. I'd be saying the same if this was the Good Friday game and we didn't have them tomorrow. The fact it is the cup, my first cup derby, makes all the more exciting. So long as we show the resilience we've seen this season I'll keep the faith we can win.

Accept now we're gonna lose and enjoy the occasion.

Well here it is. Heart always says FC but head says Dobbins .....In fairness they are the better team and should win. But upsets happen .......Just hope people don't go overboard if we get beat..... We still on a upward curve .....Right am off ....COYH

I think the tramps will have to have an off day for us to have a chance, we're stronger in the forwards but they'll have us on toast on the edges and they usually kill us with their play the ball speed. 


If we both play well unfortunately they'll probably win.

Another year or two and we'll be top dogs again

Rapana, Briscoe, Hardaker, Litten, Martin, Pryce. Sezer, Ese'ese, Bourouh, Knight, Chamberlain, Lane, Asiata

Ashworth, Aydin, Eseh, Moy

Not liking the look of that left edge in defence.

As much as I’d like a win and I hate losing to them, it’s weird feeling like I do in that I’ll be disappointed (naturally) but not that disappointed as long as we make a game of it. We have such a long way to go yet, the side today we know will give it their all and whilst there’s always a chance I just can’t see it. 


No sure Moy gives us anything from the bench in todays game but in JC we trust. Heart and effort we have now just lack enough quality in depth but rather be where we are now than this time last season. 


Hoping for the best but being realistic. 

Been expecting us to lose this one all week so don't even feel particularly nervous or anything. Just hoping we can continue to dig deep and work hard as a team and if we can get it into the final 20 minutes still in the game then anything can happen from there. Need some points on the board early. Rovers haven't really been treated early doors in a game yet and it would be interesting to see how they react to going down in the first half.An early red card for Rovers would be absolutely delightful. But I'm predicting a Rovers by 18 win. 

Rovers looking pretty dominant - so solid and robust. Done well to hang in for the first quarter but can see this unravelling now.
