There's the rub, been there since Eunan left.

i think more sensible and likely to start with jarvis and benyon up front, simply because of their experience. yeoman can come off the bench for a cameo when we're 4 or 5 ahead!!

I think a high tempo pressing start is needed against bristol rovers.

We need to get into em 100mph from the kick off, give em 15/20 mins of high pressing, see if their end of season attitude has kicked in, it could give us a goal. Yeoman needs to start, the lad deserves it, pretty much every appearance he has done ok and on 2 of them excellent - the 1st half v wimbledon or rotherham, i forget which he was superb.

Hope Knill gets the front 4 to push on and get bodin and yeoman taking defenders on

If jarvis goes up top then surely Morris will start wide, the other option is craig.

I only said Stevens on the wing because he came off the bench on Saturday. Could play anyone there really, they're all as equally without match practice as each other.

Great to see Yeoman get his just rewards at Morecambe. He played really well against Wimbledon and Rotherham but seemed to have been forgotten once Knill arrived, until scoring goals in a reserve game watched by Knill and seems to have been back in the fold since then.
I do think however that we need a fresh forward on the bench so on that basis only I would play Jarvis and Benyon up front leaving Yeoman to replace one of them.
Who plays on the wing though is really anyones guess. Knill doesn't rate Stevens,Craig, or Macklin so I have a feeling it might be Morris.

Happy for Jarvis to play up front but this is going to be one physical game and can you really see Danny performing under this situation. Personally I can't, as he has been absent most of the season. Happy to be proved wrong tho!

With Howe out of the game on Saturday, I think there is no other option is there?

But to answer the post, Yes start him and Benyon.

I voted no, I just don't see Yeoman and Jarvis working as a pair. Most likely I think will be Jarvis pushed up front with Stevens coming in on the right.

Spot on Steve.
Think he will get last 20 minutes to scare the begeezers out of the Rovers full backs.
Great goal yesterday, he will be full of confidences and raring to go.
Would like to see him start more, but think that will be next season.
I see young Danny got off the bench yesterday(first time in ages)...wonder if he will feature on Saturday?

I voted to start him, although I don't think he will start.

Jarvis will likely start up front with Benyon as Yeoman has proven to be quite effective coming on as a sub. He seems to be best running at tired defenders late on in the game. Why change something that works and Jarvis covered well for Rene when he was missing last time didn't he?

The dilemma for me, is who to play out wide in place of Jarvis as we've not got any wingers in form at the moment.
