Thanks Alfie Alfie Reynolds at Sandy Park 3. 3 o'clock this afternoon make sure you are where you need to be for your team Rovers against m.k. Dons 94.9 f.m. 104.6 f.m.

Across up Bristol. Ireland needed a bonus point victory as they go through to the last 8 and so on they go to its early this afternoon Ireland 47 samurai Farai is the result Ireland 47. 5 is the result later on Saturday sport round about 1015 minutes time I'll be chatting with Rovers left sided player he likes to play wing back Terry Holmes Danny is going to drop by for a charity get all season or find out how his reality is coming on and when he hopes to be back as part of Graeme Cochrane. 1st team squad now then let's go to the side here. On the west stand underneath the hospitality boxes are the dressing rooms of course that's where and how doing is with the Rovers manager Graeme Copland. We kind of knew you had to make changes in goal and up front so you just learning of the rest of the week yeah listen it was fortunate that we've lost one true international Jewry and we've lost a lot of 2 in injury so look about that happens in football we knew we knew where the permutations when you saw an international goalkeeper there we knew players pick up injuries to indecision So it's it's an opportunity and a chance for 2 orders to come in George will come in the goals and their nickel will join toiler top so where it's just 2 to change is really the rest is as a war and Jordi every time he's been called on this season I think he's acquitted himself he's got to learn but he's heading in the right direction yes you're young you learn and he's learning all the time the English game is a different games a different questions asked when you take the field in England those 2 as opposed to Holland so he's learning all the time he is coming on a leaps and bounds is what a really good goalkeeper coach in talk of as well so he's learning from one of the best plenty of experience there as well so the more time we can get him on the grass and the more games we can give him and the better we will he will become let's hope he steps up to the plate today and takes charge and I puts down a marker and gives ansi something to wear something to think about going forward and how difficult it is frankly you've got a group strikers that are all playing well when they're getting the chance and Tom's got his chance today Tre strikers is not a good. One Down To be fair you know I've had their lesson I was it was a difficult choice as you rightly said What do you bring victory in for the physical presence but I just saw Tom Nichols. I just thought Tom Nicholls was in the box he put victors not far behind victory picked up a goal here against Chelsea there last week you quit and. Very well so where does tree into to go so somebody have to me so but the challenge the opportunity and a chance is there for 2 of the 3 to go and nail the position go on hold on to the jersey and gone get a regular run in the team and the legacy make hay while the sun is shining and one man's misfortune is another man's game and actually confidence wise that the team must be a pretty good place and that the way you are playing before the break a guest hopefully continue that now that they're back on the pitch Yeah we didn't want the break we didn't really want the break to be honest but on foreseen circumstances the Barry situation last weekend we. Gladly accepted and gladly take him because we do have a small senior squad and. Most of the lads play most of the games so where it is quite taxing and so yeah rest would have done them been well we've got a lot of walking and we've got some rest in and there I said to the lads yesterday on Friday we're actually we're actually a day ahead of our ourselves with our prep and for the m.k. Dons game so it's been a really good week. We've got a good rest into them so I'm just looking for them to work to get back on possibly a little bit of a wrist Enos today but I'm not going to get back out as quick as they can and I take it to m.k. Dons get on the front for and really really put on a whole year energy and on a high pressing performance and of course a winning performance for the very best of luck but we thank you very much Graeme Kaka and just seeing you with that turnstiles well and truly open here at the Memorial Stadium lots of assets already taken their favorite positions on the West terrace opposite where I'm sat just above the dugouts on the halfway line away to my right is the clubhouse terrace already hundreds of people are stood chatting watching goalkeepers warming up now with outfield players the goal is to like an early warm up wherever you go whatever level of football it's always the keep us it's always a man who would out for us for their warm up routine very very intricate detail to . And intense at the moment awaits my right hand side the road was keep to my left the custodians of m.k. Dons but about news coming through from Shastri park in the Premier 50 women 10 wasps 18 is original that was at midday kick off at Bristol bear swimming 10 watched 80 is a result in the Terrell's Island $47.00 Summer 5 also is a result let's go to Sunday Bristol can still qualify for the last stages of the premiership cup if it's a big if I know they win at Exeter this softer Let's get the thoughts of coach comment Phillips with Alfie Randall it's O'Connell good to see 13 changes to the side today is that a reflection of the fact that you've got bath in under a week's time now to kick off the Premiership league season yeah I think we've a plan going into these 4 games that we're trying to get everyone some game time in what's the biggest It is a bit of a mini pre-season I think it is important all the guys who put the hard work in germ pre-season got to run we want to see a few different combinations week to week and some guys just back from injury like they've got what do need some quality minutes so again we know bath is in 6 days but the some big performances today can really influence that selection also and you mentioned Davis he making his debut since rejoining excited to see him get out there must have been along all pre-season Yeah I think they've been really well of a season and experts the boy and now occur again which is great and he he brings massive influence to the Smallwood his experience he's been running the squad he's played a lot of Premiership games and he's a concourse tomorrow he's a pretty physical guy so it's a good game a good test from today against Exeter and John Hawkins which is to the flank we've seen a number of guys chop and change Joe Joyce who was there last week or the week before so we've seen a couple of times is that something that you're expecting from your forwards now to them to be versatile Yeah I definitely think we look at him pre-season see a lot of our locks can play 6 of our back row can play in the lock position. And so it's nice to have that versatility on game day whether it's on the pitch or coming off the bench and these guys stepping up to try their from positions but they're taken to it really well so again it just adds to the squad dynamic and helps and helps different guys put different names in the frame for selection and Luke Hamilton is on the bench short term contract signed this week so he could make his debut just characters he house he settled in an injury cover isn't it for the time being Yeah I think we just need a few little niggles in the back row or down number I think put the feelers out on Luke's name came up and then when you see a c.v. It's it's pretty impressive a lot of Premiership games played the top 14 play in the pro 14 played Japan on his courses in international and while he's only been here for the week you can see why as an international He knows the game he's a he's a can customer again and he's picked up are we want to play really well and again he'll get some minutes today and it's a it would be tough test for him but I think he's well on the final person wanted to ask about going was Tyree's Johnson Fisher We haven't seen him yet you signed him he was doing a year over in America with American football we had video few years ago that went viral when he was a schoolboy house he settled into a professional rugby environment Yeah again Tyreese it's been a learning curve from put in the hard work a lot of physical effort and today is just more of a test see where he's asked Eggman opportunity but he's at that opportunity through the hard work he's put in so far so exciting for on a high so much comic Phillips with just a savior to Bristol bears for. The scrum on Choose day Mike present will be Callum Sheedy the co-captain in Bristol he's going to present the entire program with myself with some great guests lined up some interesting features where. The boy Calum should have a great value co-presenting the scrum that it's on Choose day b.b.c. Radio Bristol at 6 o'clock now they've got a chain You should he wish park Yeovil playing her a gate is it worth the way Chris battles we have success is to change is called Dickinson drops out of the so I we presume he's injured and is no James Taylor. Either he sustained a knock on Choose day night so again the presumption is that he is indeed income's Tom Bradby looking to see in a sense about but he'll play at left back in the absence of Dickenson a mild hip ally who is rested in midweek he comes back in for Tilly so is the 442 with a diamond in midfield Adam Smith continues Ingold in my own heart in new Wilkinson Lee Collins and Tom Bradbury the back for the midfield then with Charlie Lee at the base Worthington miles he polite in front of him and then Jimmy Smith behind a front to a recent Murphy and Courtney tough as the bench Lawson d.f. Golden I'll be Scandi Chris diagonal and cradle.

Sunset so Paula live at the Memorial Stadium big game for Rovers back in action this week m.k. Dons are in. Sound 3 o'clock comedy coming your way with that hard when Keith broke when delighted Rovers player Terry Combs Dennis's drop by for the charts Good to see you nice to see as our big question How's the injury where are you intending to rehab back training with a group now good. Been a good few weeks I've been integrated in slowly but now I'm starting to take part in training and everything's feeling good and going as it should have been what was the injury. Repair so it was not it wasn't a huge one why does need to be so. Yeah yeah yeah yeah She had surgery I had surgery in the summer and since then it has been rehab and. It can be a lonely well for a footballer can I mean I know it's a team game in a squad game but when you're injured it can be lonely Yeah definitely. The most challenging time for me it's been a difficult period you know coming back from I had one bad injury and I just had a few repercussions from that so has it been like Smoove Yeah but now I feel like that's that's gone now and I'm just focusing on. How good I can be having a lovely being back in training getting amongst it you know just being back around the lads Yeah just yes the best just natural the best feeling you know when you've been away I've been rehab in around the corner where someone called Ray and I don't feel clubs but oh yeah and so action on Iran Yeah. I've just been keeping a low profile on a training ground and just get on with the work so then when I get back when I'm back I was back to you know her other than watching the guys train it can be frustrating when you're not there so I just kept a low profile been working hard and scenes and now. Times come and I can come back to Mr Banta the troops here for sure showed us not one of the main things you miss you know you're just on your own and stuff where you have been and you go home you're on your own. It's not like I got a lot my family and or any family here just to get around the lads and I just profession and give me back and you know just get back to normal feel in yourself again Saturday's must be the worst day coming to watch knowing that you want to be out there but can't be out there that the toughest day for you honestly sounds bad I was watching the lads in that by actually I hate going to watch because you just thinking Why am I not playing and then I was really people wasn't all when you can be back when you don't need that as much as you want to say ah that's why I said it's difficult to and you're always saying are soon soon so I want to be there as much as people want to see me out there that's why it's probably the most frustrating because I know you people feel he hasn't been fit for a while you're injury prone but I've had one bad unfortunate injury and I've had setbacks from that it's not like I wouldn't class myself as injury prone think I'd had a difficult. Time of it and now the back of it and I start making strides in the progress I think I can sure sure the only good thing we are watching is that you can appreciate the game a little bit more I mean here I mean it's a fantastic view when you can understand the top picks and a little bit more when you're in the cooking thrust of it is just going on around you that you can pick up things differently. You can learn you can watch other teams see what they do or what your own team see if they do well and I watch and see that when I'm back what I can add to the team where I want to take advantage of what we do and I think as I've got close to getting back I've been taken more know and watch and more closely and so now I'm getting closer watch in and taking things on board and yeah just trying to prepare myself for as much as when I'm back because the way Graeme set the table right now it's perfect here is the kind of wing back so you can get forward and show you that lettuces him and your quality on the ball. Back is perfect. Up and down and you get more of. A chance to be forward like your classes I win back road in a left back so you're high up the pitch for more mature in a game when you've got the ball and for me. I like to influence the attack inside of things as well as the defensive so it will be nice and good for me I think it's really interesting last season when Graeme took over he kind of throws you into the 1st team evolves he fancies you as a player but each took you in and sounded at times really made you play appreciate what you've got you must be a good manager for you to play for as well if he trusts you and fancies you yeah if someone's got faith in you here think it's always. You know. You always put pressure on myself to perform anyway and when you've got someone they believe in you even if that point I didn't feel like I was 100 percent fit. Was going to play and I do I can and I just thought. I'd done as well as I could. And you know I think it was enough that I got. Was working hard. Might not have been as fit as I would have liked to have been but tried my best for the team and I played most of the games and I was available last season and. I did what I could to the team Sure sure go well then and only it's a nice run there on our it's just like it for the lads because in there on a training ground for the vibe everyone's like confident going into every game with confidence and you can feel it on a Monday morning even if you've got a draw by a good performance or you've got the win and has it been the best performance let you come in and everyone's just on a good good vibe everyone's working hard in training in this competition for places people are on play and working hard for a spot people are playing nobody will work to keep it so there's no room for error or room for anyone to get complacent you know I think it's a healthy is healthy for the squad yeah things inside the dressing room or less than an hour a kickoff the players will be making the most noise or the young man in the in the dressing room you know it's not the noise user of dressing rooms to be honest everyone's like focus than everyone prepares for the game differently there's a lot music going on for we're going to go up on Attorney Craig probably the most vocal or you clock as a word. But really everyone just knows their own job everyone's kind of just focused on their own job trying to be interesting without j.c.a. Traction but awakes players got to step forward and deliver goals because you know he's a goal machine everyone thinks you know at times or one man team not really but all the players got to step forward I suppose from the outside looking in if you don't watch the club week in week are you can it looks like you're. Johnson Rovers I mean but there's a lot of good players and good strikers in the teams are back it's disappointing joiners not playing because you know how beneficial it is for us and how important it is for us. It's going to be a good opportunity for obvious truckers to state their claim or. The team to show we can do it anyway you know I mean yeah we all know how important Johnson is brought in well we'll say well there's no I mean the rain that fell yesterday in Bristol was soon like I think it looks fantastic and it's good. Lovely Yeah it's looking. You know. It's looking really nice and I think. If you want to play on the pitch there's no excuse to not be able to play on that and I mean yeah sure sure I want to see you on the pitch a.s.a.p. Give us a time scale of we got and you had us to where you hope to be and when we do but with the group on a Saturday I would love to say like a pin I don't know for example for sure no later than November would be nice for me would be early in November I would like to know it in November so that's next month . Fingers crossed for you course what kind of what year are you sorry what kind of what year are you in the lot to get up to play at 3 o'clock you never do you sit quietly and you shout the moment you to. Come to the game and why not when I'm what I feel like I'm involved you know if someone's.

And if there is anything formal arranged for today it will happen in future hope that the extremely sad news of course the passing of a true Rovers great shoe it Taylor on the 1st day he was 72 the big man 627 appearances for Rovers a wreck or that will never be called or battered of 546 League appearances all that between 165 and 98 the average over 50 years is 4148 which is extraordinary for a truly truly great man a great football like great human being. But the. Powers that family friend who was on the club would be doing their respective marking their respects in future home gauge. Here the Memorial Stadium. That's going to park one of the great voice is all football John Motson of course formerly with the b.b.c. So many Well cups Premier League 1st Division lots and lots of football at the top level but decades John Motson is out Huish Paul crisp little has intercepted it France has to get some time to thank you very much 1st of all what brings you to Yeovil this afternoon well no Premier League games today and I had a weekend away I'm having a weekend away with my wife and some friends in Bournemouth So I look for what I thought was the most interesting match on the card in the National League and I came out with versions harig it and after your midweek result against Woking I can only show you that I'm looking forward to seeing you develop what looks like a promotion push. And over the years you've covered course famous f.a.q. Joint killers and I've seen you look out full well I was looking out for Yeoville it's a bit like Harry food which of course made my 9 the Newcastle game but people who were around in the period remember beating Sunderland and all the other cup runs you had since I mean I remember. Hearing all sorts of big clubs. And I just think it's one of those names that rings a bell and I went to see. It last season and have a chat with your ex chairman Mr Fry and it was a great shame to see you at that end of the league because obviously overall it's been up to the 2nd tier. A very well when he was manager of their members having a picture on it and yes it's something the back of my mind is one of those teams whose results you tend to look for let's put it that way and you mention. Here when he said yes he's here today I'm quite sure you have a word with you if you want to still looking pretty well for. Course it was Ronnie Radford who scored the real screamer Ricky on the day he got the all important winning goal and we've been mates for years and he's actually staying at my apartment in Bournemouth with me this weekend so he's driven me to the game today we have been to the game thanks. So much I thank you John absolute pleasure to be on b.b.c. Somerset Thank you. Have. A mortal voice. Away for a weekend with his family and friends.

Richards. Over Ken's Dale and on the bench rushed down ball hall the wiles Richards Jordan Simpson and Harry Hambly in the starting 11 and subs. City this afternoon I mentioned earlier the extremely sad news the passing of a shoe it Taylor edge with some of the Rovers found this afternoon I'm sure that we part of their conversation. Well Jeff of money to make way down from the press box and come find a few Rovers fans because of the sad news this week the passing of Stuart Taylor a real Rovers legend the apparent record holder we got a few gents in the blue and white here tonight we've got Mike and Dave and view and Ok so it's a Mike if I say Stuart Taylor to you what does that mean I want to but by members of Stuart Taylor I mean I started watching Rovers in 65 I know the for the Colts very Lloyd play in center half they were the twin center and they were both brilliant players I think Bill Shankly was monitor the ball then he came in and he bought the thing I don't know 40050000 pain which is a lot of large sum in those days but I think Fred 4 was a manager the 1st row over that time he said we've we've kept the best and Stuart Taylor said we let our you go because we think Stuart is going to be the best player. I think Stuart Taylor departing going all the way if you take onto the report or wherever he was a low person over story and you look paper over so that's that's one memory of in the absolutely Well you know. I used to watch him from corners used to go over the corners when take a fall on the edge of the 6 yard box flick the ball over it be punished or walk or just wait interest at the finishing touches so yeah that's my point feel of a steward it was that there were many one club men I guess nowadays pays move around so much but somebody who if you mention Bristol Rovers His name is always going to come up isn't it us Roy This is my boyhood memory. Is not. Much older than I am but. He was more hero in time he's the one that had to sort of post on the war kind of thing. Syria on the war. And you were saying before we started chatting did you play cricket kens yet it went Winterbourne when it's upon the top . And then you get a cricket Oh yeah you're quite good to know it is nice sportsmen are often so good lots of different sports and I suppose it's one of those where you need to have played that number of games for one club you know Tony record may never have a pizza pass no it won't not never tell us No I mean years ago it was of what you know you see new players here in Europe you knew you didn't have to trap for a few days or know he was even. There Ned You know it's not a fact you know it's nice to see you know some of the youngsters specially. Kilgore coming through and Craig they got it you can tell they go and they're all on the ball and that's what he was like in this good to see a small boy and get him going for it or take everybody with me so maybe a bit of his sort of you know his spirit the way he played the game still carries on that look unalloyed Yeah I think you know the way it's going to French moment they're looking. They're looking good you know yes good to see good to see that it will continue so quickly on the end of the game today are you feeling confident that I have yeah no obviously going to stay c.h. But. Save over say actual someone else step up to the plate as they say they will most comical get a chance and start later fingers crossed it is him it's always 1st Call it has been can 3 see 2 scenes ago and yes well he's lucky to you know let's hope that's true so quit school preach what do you think.

Sharp new member Brislington. Person spoiled by live on air next week so this is the perfect away day for you it's a great day out for me it's very close to a toppy day so one more game then until the big fixture next Friday off against Bristow. What would you like to see from the Bears the soft and how important is getting a wind up getting the winds always in pouring and I just want to see a win national while looking for a win more important than say the performance because teams all the teams have used the premiership cup in a different way of and they really to rotate their squad yeah no. I'd like to see Bristol go on Fast and Furious and get the win good stuff I like it confidence was your expectations for Bristol and for this season as a whole you want to see them kick on from last year possibly get top $60.00 that's a good possibility of a memory mistimed last year with a couple of results and found referee into session spot on the whole on a typical occasion was Exodus came Ashton Gate with a controversial penalty try right at the end that we don't harbor a grudge spit sound hey ho there's been quite a few good contests between Priscilla next or over the years to mention the one I actually got me now is a great game heartbreaking ending of course the Chiefs beat Bristol in the playoffs final most a decade ago now to go up and embrace so took so long to get out the championship is a bit of it is a West Country rival rivalry but it's a bit of a grudge match no no I would say if there was any West Country Darby's not where graduates it will be a much next weekend ass again again spot I think we're all looking ahead to that one a little their own way really so this afternoon in terms of the team quite a few rotations and things Dave would I suppose is the headline he's making his debut since rejoining the club yes could see day finding out I was booed by seaplane again to see how he turns out for the voice today of a really good but a such good law. It's also on the bench and see in Tyrese on the bench looking bored to see him in. A see how he's come up a bit over in America so big so yeah absolutely and I'm guessing we're all predicting Bristol wins a day away yes yes. Yes Yes Yes always always always thank you very much enjoy the game. Sandy Park Make sure you are where you need to be that games on the a.b. Across Bristol Chiefs against Bristol Yeovil against our gates on $95.00 f.m. Also Freeview channel 7 double 2 elsewhere it's Rovers against m.k. Dons at hardware and keep up an hour of common g.t. . Is alongside of us we knew j.c.h. Was going to be out how big a mess do you think he'll be people on my show and they would say all this and I got the chance to show what they can do the reality is though how big a mess very pigmy. Of the school would go with a fine run of form the. Only thing only 11 person school more gold than him in the in the time you've been with Rovers you can go you could be an amazing miss if you chant brutal Nichols to pull my relationship. Up Front. We know what he can do I think we miss the physical presence presence of j.c. I did much of anything was that the obvious replacement Nichols was out what you would have done is that what you expected Graeme cockle to do it is what I expected Yes I think. I think he's now got a chance. To come in I don't think. That if we are year was quite ready for non-human it came at a moment and I think he will be used from the bench later on in the going. J.c.h. a Picture on boy bullied he looked a physical contest he could deal with balls coming in at many heights and many angles were rovers have to be a bit law. Cute in terms of how they served the ball to their front man was nothing like as big strong and aggressive I think Nichols and. And Smith were welcome balls into free rather only long balls out of the pens mother defenders of the rovers will have to adapt to get used to playing without j.c.h. Released a month by the sound of it so the service has got to be more accurate along the floor. Fine for me yes I think those 2 play well on the ball played up to the moment. They don't want to be chosen one will go over the top or going. To last for a row is that significant other there for the taking when it's dangerous it's dangerous to say that you know you think they might be able to apply the same time if they will have a resolve about them to get back to winning ways I know there are a wounded animal is quite a dangerous one and I think rovers would like j.c.h. Up top and up with another goalkeeper in a but we need to be a bit wary of the opposition this afternoon. Will be our summariser expert summariser alongside dad on $949104.00 f.m. Freeview channel 719 also in Somerset on the a $5066.00 medium wave let's check out the roads. All the details Weirdly I.

See some of it. Their Saturday sport will live at the Memorial Stadium 3rd lights on just flick the switch to food like to just come on pulse at the players just retreating by and large to the respective home and away dressing rooms here. Rovers 12 and half minutes to kick off between Rovers and m.k. Dons Let's go to hear though I'm sure they at the natives are highly optimistic in the National League playing her again this afternoon let's see what levels of optimism I'm talking about the questions the fans have I crisp it'll benches the very back of the factories tearing stuff around and whom I could hear every game and you're pretty much the 1st fans in here for every game and we all know what it's been like the last few years it's been much better in recent games and we want to be like here enough that you see more fans here and the atmosphere anything else has been fantastic I mean we're just saying it's only a few months ago that we were sort of stood there watching some pretty terrible football wondering if we'd ever get over the good times back if we drop down a level for it but we're playing good football is good people in the atmosphere is fantastic at the moment it is just go between a suppose I'm a place I think it is has been pretty rocky recently here a month when I look to you to go ice last season price even in the season there was a space around you talk is packed now here in a much tighter Yeah definitely where way standing right there on the go there's so many people are paying now or a youngster as you call the child in both sides of the drums go in so yeah it's really exciting times when that's what Match Day is all about you 2 guys to say you are regulars worth knowing Tony quite so much we we've not so many people in here yet you want me I was paid on you yet everyone the atmosphere it's interesting that the end of the game people are saying it's a challenge and it's approved the play is instead of the entire way and that's that's definitely happened this season and you see in the last couple of games the managers pull the players over and this didn't seem to be a real connection I think there is when you think how many new players we've got here is is very impressive this is. The season is we can also at the end of the day you just want whatever level you are you just want your place to be out there by a be brave for the club for the fans and it feels like there's a togetherness at the moment that we can carry that on and it could take us somewhere you mentioned a level one was it necessary to come back internationally to rebuild and to kick and you think. Possibly I said I don't think it's of us any harm. If we stayed out then you've got to wonder if we just had a few more years of the same sorts of we have for the past 5 years already so it's certainly not us any harm and we've made the most of psychosis are we going to him out I'm like you mentioned on pitch perhaps off the pitch and the new owners have been in press with what Scott precent had to say so far yeah they said all the right things he said what we need to hear from what I've heard we've got places should be playing at this level and they come in either the money or the manager and they seem to be paying for the manager and the manager will say size is post match really get a straight talker and what we want to hear is not your normal sort of football excuses let's say myspace site things are on the up I like to in the asking for predictions can you give me a school up today too you know. When we see one you're so optimism All right thank you so I'm just. Amazing surge of optimism Yeovil sample ball club series of the takeover amazing job at Darren Sol is June will show Huish Let's go to Bloomfield Road in League One what will go well this season at home to Robert in the shop the New Delhi Floyd who just a football as well sun is shining the sky is blue although there is a distinct autumn chill in the air the seaside is though one of 3 teams on 20 points near the top of the table are unbeaten in 4 games not a bad place to be after 12 matches particularly with managers Simon Grayson admitting they're nowhere near firing on all cylinders but with injuries to the squad so there is plenty of reason for optimism Grayson sticks to the same side as well legend Miller Bolton on money. They night but he's been used by the receipt of striker Nathan Del phones they to the bench should meanwhile visit as well the room finds 1000 scones Steadman table after a mix start of the season they were the preseason favorites motion after dropping in the trying to chip back in May last week though they look to hit their straps with a full thrashing of the early season pace that is called injury manager Paul Warne understandably sticks to the same 11 and movement 2000 fans have made the journey from side to Saturday 3 to Blackpool against want to. Thank Paul Tisdale in charge at m.k. Dons his former club Exeter High flying forest green Rovers this afternoon our Paul when the forest green last visited in May They were kind of the dream killers of a good saw an extra 2 and they'll know draw that day which meant that the hosts missed out on last season's playoffs this time round just a point separates both of the sarge with ours firmly set on automatic promotion how simply no idea we are fags to post Mark Tyler his 1st choice keeper Louis Ward has been rolled out to the new year they have brought in a little known South African goalkeeper Dino Vista to offer some reinforcement he's on the bench having received international clearance last more on a quick sidebar It's nice to see it marking World Mental Health Day by partnered up with a charity morning ahead of this picture to help raise awareness and funds for the services that the charity provides kick off. Bravo actually the funds aren't all seen changes of 3 or 4 members of the ground after south just. Bits of divots and grass back in place after both sets of players disrupted this playing surface here Morial Stadium lots of fun just stood around us that moment less than 10 minutes ago 7 minutes to go of anxiety but of expectation better hope bit of optimism in the our eyes and the faces of Rovers fans in the proximity of our broadcast point let's have the thoughts of our up. Walters about a commentator on your team we start here in the map sat alongside May had a Rovers and m.k. Dons and had waited for 2 teams in very different bunch of form going into this one Rovers unbeaten in 73 straight wins compared to 4 straight defeats for the m.k. Dons there was also a pretty good record against the Dons in recent times when both my kids a couple of seeds ago when last they played however is maybe a man who is not involved here today that looms large they are great Johnson and Clarke carries not for the next month can score goals without him we will find out is Tom Nichols who gets the chance to play in goal Judy one stop shop comes in France a cold while he's away on international duty so he threw in the post as Kilgore Davis and Craig the 3 cent device Levy involved in the 2 wing banks absent a go go and so very settled midfield now and it said Nichols alongside tieless made it in the chance to try and score a few goals and keep moving up the league one table and next here is Park National League action hero Bill of playing her a gate sounding crisp. With a chance to go top of the table the softer knowing if rather results go their way back on to winning ways having won 8 in a row of course stopped last Saturday but the midweek win against Woking means they have not knowing wins in their last 10 games they've come up against a habit so I too may be in 12th but I've got 3 wins in their last 4 games themselves and they made the playoffs last season so under so I mean we are they may well be a force to reckon with as the season progresses but all about your local town the Inform so you in the National League decide to be fit really in 3rd place to changes for Darren so the cell phone Tom Bradby and most people are coming in no call Dickenson or James Taylor a 4 for 2 for the club as Adam Smith Ingo from our hearts and Luke Wilkinson lead Coleen's and Tom Bradbury across the back for Charlie Worthington mostly polite. Jimmy Smith in midfield Rhys Murphy to go was in the way along so I cooled me duffus from the bench. And I'll be scanning the crystal and Craig. Thanks Chris Chris brittle. Final pool game in the premiership cup for Bristol bears this out of the nude but at Sandy Park about to say called Exeter Chiefs I'll see Reynolds. And Sandy Park just one of the toughest away venues in English rugby at the moment that's the bear's last test before the serious business of another Premiership league season gets underway Ashton Gate in just under a week's time Bristol haven't won it sonny park in almost a decade the 27th of December 2009 was the date as they came out 2516 winners later on that season that go on to lose to the chiefs in the play off final in the Championship how the 2 teams change have differed since that date but all things starting to get a little bit more equal the bears are looking up but it's a tall order to replicate that result this afternoon with the season opener against Barca a week away the Bears have made 13 changes to their side day that would make his debut last 10 members of the squad have either come through or are still part of the Bears Academy As for qualification the would need a bonus point win and hope that results elsewhere go their way in this competition for the Chiefs they sit top of Pool 3 and within touching distance of a semifinal it's Darby day to round off the Premiership Rugby Cup post stages Exeter hosting 3 still kicking off very very shortly thanks seems to Geoff Thompson and b.b.c. Radio based on b.b.c. Sounds. We have 3 minutes and counting to kick off to 3 matches on Saturday sport results this afternoon Ireland 47. 5 Bristol whereas women sat and watched 8 c. . Make sure you are where you need to be for the next 2 hours commentary. Your t. But Sunday park in the premiership cup of Bristol bears 'd that it actually changes its live on d. a B. Across bridge though with more cautious cadence alongside Alfie Randall. In a nationally known p.b.c. Somerset's 95.5 f.m. On Freeview channels 7 double which you know both sound I gave her a great sound with some Siebel along side respect so. Thank you Jeff welcome to Larry as law it rains pulling here every penny arrive in full cost for the afternoon actually we had a dry build up to kick off following the deluge last night we are awaiting the 2 teams to come out on the far side the po boys that are in the news recently when I last left behind got here again probably they are currently lining the Center for waving their flags as we now see the 2 teams that owns the pitch from the main stand. Thank you I will tell you what that out by that the calling and hurricane in your life with the but the but the meet. With the. Nice contrast between the 2 kids and I thank you for missing up. 2 sets supply is the softer noon although as I've already said here on b.b.c. Somerset there are 4 Smiths on the page to me over and 2 for how I got my thanks to my Callie Tom Seymour pointing out potential problem. According to cumming a problem for going through the 2 teams a problem as it occurred in the. National the stop a news story going to respond to 2 issues with the trying. To pull back on him for I would certainly I want you to use often. Planning planning to travel up to the north west on the. This issue of the trains they call make it on the games are often she will hear more about but in the coming days and weeks in the repercussions of that you will travel on the coach of course so I surely hope Romney is going to kick off night. So we hope Romney and how in fact for a mood of the 2 guys he's keeping oil and you know which I want to have a chance of topping the table today but the probably game will be behind this one so it's issues elsewhere in the National League Coconino issues here the soft new referee so-called proof is in the senses as to his streaks Murphys. Before the game she said that I didn't promise that he scored a hat trick to soften their own so let's hope the race Murphy is as good as he don't know from experience if you. Promise a 5 year old something that is not forthcoming then. Maybe less than happy so. I will now go through the changes now that the match I know that I have been to stop doing that here in the oval smithing go out and smear pots and Wilkinson call ins and proudly to vote for me who are going to be polite and Jimmy Smith and. Murphy and aside from the at the motel you scan the dog know when you call on the bench on a school how I got so sure we go out of Kona Who Will Smith and George Smith about Diamond poking a cannon in midfield. Up front alongside Muldoon Thompson Emmet Cracknell proudly and joined state from the team's going to the hard one Tom Seymour we're expecting to see homebred 3 left back I think tonight yes we knew for you I was homeless this season Tom Bradley filling in left I called Caesar so I did center defender so we left with said thank you we thought maybe he could get it we got to look but it's hard being sticking with the back 4 and make a big occasion for the young defender. Back in for you. City defenders have been well known to a lot of these chief suspects. Kick yourself from left to right as we look at checking the empty away terrorists the cops road and tell us who are you to our right hand side. Have an issue over only. The referee just waits to be attended to. Think somebody is for a number that you'll be green joy and over again the false id you have a mascot we hope he's Ok Colleen who is the truly great joy he gets a huge round the pools because he made his way off the pitch after being part of proceedings before the guy told the Green join his snip tell you very sustained an injury. I really hope he's Ok. He's Ok you might see the funny side the joy in the Jolly Green Giant mascot has been flying the stud to play just waiting for. The tool called down on the far side we're ready to go and Yeovil hard work it is go here here it's Paul his how much it will pay to pull long looking for back in my heart and listable but I think he's Ok Tom But yeah that was the reason for the slight delay collection is a question is What are those those costumes home going to be very light so. With all that regalia rolled is going to be the last thing we think is Ok no purchase on the shoes to fight but with. Enjoy. His. Back. With Will Smith he goes no Broadbridge slips preppie recovers well to play the ball out to be a throw in right hand side for Roy and fella failed their right back will take it. Many options at the moment failed throws it in to meet Fielden for King and the captain who can help feeling sick.
