... of victory on saturday?

I bet there can't be many fans from either side who really think they've got this one in the bag. I'd like to think our pack will be more than enough for theirs (O'Meley and Fitz not there last time) and that Sl and RH ought to be able to unpick their defence but.....

eek!!!

110% Confident!

I've never been confident of any derby since they've been back in the top flight and the gulf closed. Form and team sheets count for little in a derby.

Not me just cant see us beating the 3-0 this year

If we create and take the chances we had against Leeds then I'm confident of victory, but this is FC were talking about

I am,i just think we've got more quality and experience across the 17 than rovers. There isn't a lot in it though. I think their forwards will have to play the game of their lives to get over the top of ours over 80 mins,i'd give them the edge in the halves with dobson but hopefully he'll be innefective due to our forward domination. I don't think it'll be as tight as the previous 2 games whichever way it goes. I think Rovers will come out and try and blow us away with the emphasis on width and speed of passing. If they succedd we'll be left chasing but if they fail i think they could be in for a long night. Bring it on.

wish i had your confidence!!you should bottle it you would make a fortune i dont normally drink but even im getting p*ssed for this one

Pack is the key - I'm hoping we have the edge.

Well i'm 110% confident. If our guys turn up with our A game we'll walk it.

Not confident, part of me think Rivers have got to win one this season. That said I do believe if both teams play to their potential we are the better side.

In the last derby we should have won by more and we were missing lots of players so I think with home advantage we start as slght favourites.

Dobson and his kicking game will be the key for a Rovers win.

That's pretty much my view of it. Rovers are a decent side and they have the law of averages in their favour. If we keep 13 men on the pitch and play like we did against Leeds last week, we should be ok, but we've been anything other than consistent this season. In short, we [ican[/i win it, but we might not.

Make mine a treble!!!

We do need more optimism on this forum atm. There're some people who are declaring that Rovers have already won it (Mrs B, I'm looking at you ).

Personally, I think it'll be a close game. The derbies usually are. Like someone earlier said, if both teams play to their full potential, I think that we're the better side. However, our derbies are usually totally different to however the teams have been doing pervious to the match, even more so as this is a knockout playoff.
We all know that if we play like we did against leeeds (btu with 13 people on our side) we'll win

Anyway, FC WIN come on!
