if you really think that then you should be visiting the bookies you will get another 4 points start, 50/50 as nearly always in derbies a loss for either team will not define their respective seasons, fc will target a push for the top 5, whilst for rovers a push into the top 8 and hopefully no relegation threat

I understand people thinking we will lose im not confident myself but I don't think we will get hammered. Rovers defensively are not brilliant and not brilliant in attack either. They had there fair share of losing runs and if we were in middle 8s last season I would edge my bets we wouldn't have gone 11 games on the bounce losing.

They have the edge because they are fully fit and nothing more IMO.

You have 5 out injured and we have 4, Lunt, Quinlan (two of our best) Jewitt and Scruton. So certainly not fully fit at all but dont let that get in the way of your injury list.

Fully fit? How do work that out? Our Hooker and Fullback ( rated better than yours by many ) are injured plus we have two big aggressive Props missing so Hardly fully fit.

Not saying you won’t win but do you really think it will be as a result of a forward battle? Where do you think your superiority lies?

Fully fit? That statement alone means you views should be ignored. I can understand fans having different opinions but getting facts wrong is something else.

TBH I never realised you had that many out but I would say in terms of injuries you are better off.

Chill Keith.

Could be because we don’t have so much invested in our first 17.

I’d be interested if you have a different explanation.

Rated better by who? Wouldn’t take Lunt or Quinlan if I’m being honest.
