We have to find a starting place for Leonard. He's our most forward thinking and delivering midfielder and he has the ability to be able to play through the lines. As you know in the last video i commented that i'd like to see Leonard play at number 10 regardless of if Willumsson is available or not. Leonard makes such a positive difference when he plays. Or Davies needs to rotate the squad more and use Leonard as one of the two midfielders and give Iwata or Paik a rest. Especially with the games coming thick and fast. I would 100% start with Buchanan. He showed more than enough when he played the other night that he's ready to start. It's so good to see him back. Such a timely boost. It's crazy to think that Gardner-Hickman probably won't start unless he does so at left back given how good he's been. At some point we're going to put proper performance together/on and score more than a few and not concede either. I'm hoping that this will be on more than one occasion. I'm going for a comprehensive and optimistic 4 - 0 win. I think it's time to make a real statement. That being said if you were to offer me 1 - 0 now, then i would take it. KRO 💙
It seems absolutely crazy to have a player of Leonard’s standard and calibre on the bench. Especially with how much more he puts us on the front foot. Just shows the quality we have this year. I think he will and has to start rotating the midfield a bit more. We look like scoring so many more goals with leanard on the pitch. If Buchanan is fit I’d love to see him start as well but all depends on fitness and if it’s too early. Hopefully he is ready but if not and Cochrane and Buchanan are out I’d like to see TGH there more than anyone else. I think a big performance is coming as well but everyone just puts 11 men behind the ball at this level and it’s so frustrating. If we go at these teams with a bit of speed and intensity someone will get a walloping soon but we need to be careful and learn from a few games already this season. Thanks Richard. Let’s get them 3 points. KRO! :)
I'm predicting a goal fest tomorrow. Everything we hit is going in! Hoping Thor is back. Early goal and the floodgates are opening! 4.0 Blues. Great channel lads. KRO 💙
Hi guys. I haven't commented of late, but loving your professional content. Please keep it up lads. I have a solution to aid Leonard's placement, but also keeping Williamson in the squad. How about just playing 3 at the back especially at home. Allsop, Beilik, Klara, Davies, Iwata, Paik, Leonard, Williamson, Anderson, Stanfield & May. Just a thought. KRO and I'll go 3 - 0 to our mighty Blues on Saturday
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. We are really pleased you are enjoying our content. Somebody else suggested three at the back to accommodate Leonard however that would mean no place for Cochrane who had been brilliant this season. I know he is currently injured but what do you do when he comes back? KRO!
Thanks 🙏 guys! I’m really feeling they must practice more vertical midfield movements. I feel we’re missing this. Now hopefully Thor is back and we can finally give a team a thumping! Not sure 🤔 if you saw my reply regarding your Keshi answer. On my laptop he is included but on my Apple phone he is missing. Please 🙏 kindly let the club know. Cheers 🍻 guys. KRO from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you very much for your comment Andy which is greatly appreciated. I think Leonard offers us a more forward midfield option so if Chris Davies can find a place for him that should help. Yes, we saw your response about Keshi. I have an iPhone so I will check on mine. KRO!
Great podcast. As usual. Are there any updates on Scott Wright. Very strange how he went out with an injury but its all gone quiet. I would love to see him have a run. I do believe he is a player that can make such a difference
I have been wondering the same thing Graham. I think we really miss him on the wing. Fast and direct is exactly what we need in some games. Hopefully we get an update soon. Thanks for the kind words, KRO! :)
Really interesting thoughts about Marc Leonard. I’d love to find a way to accommodate him. He’s a superb player and we will need him over the season and next season
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. He really is a top player and I’m sure he will play a big part for us this season and over the coming years. KRO!
Hi both. On the Blues, yes, only a 2-0 gap. It needs to be addressed, and another striker would be great. Dykes also warrants a run. Very good breakdown on Rovers abilities. Especially their lack of goals, and how much their defenders are working. Hopefully more than 2 tomorrow. Thank you.
I really enjoy your blog . keep it up lads.having a few hiccups against lower teams has got to stop .like you say moving the ball kickley up front is key.early goal .and go on from there.4.0...KRO KR kR
Hi guys great blog as usual..maybe you can do a blog or a quick chat about potential incoming and outgoings in January as the rumour mill is warming up, with talks of players wanting more playing time etc

Hi Guys. I think this fixture is a real chance for our first free scoring game. The key will be a fairly early goal from one of the forwards. Regarding Leonard, whatever his strengths, Davies clearly rates Paik and Iwata above all options and scenarios. He admires them personally, references to humility suggest he believes in their mental discipline and through that their approach to games. They are literally cornerstones of this team. And given that Willumsson is a pure (and excellent) 10 there is just no place for Leonard! KRO
Thank you for your comment and which is greatly appreciated. It is a real dilemma trying to fit everyone in which I suppose is a good thing to have, although it will also mean that good players will lose out. It will be interesting to see Chris Davies team selection today. KRO!
I think we will keep a clean sheet tomorrow, either A May or J Stansfield to get a hat-trick, i also think if Thor plays he will score, so I'm going 4-0 come on you Blue boys with love from John O Groats. Great podcast guys keep them coming just love you guys. KRO
Would love a hat trick for May or Stanno and 4-0 would be fantastic. I’ll take 3 points if its goes in of the refs head in the 94th minute 🤣 Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate it and glad to know you enjoy our content. KRO! :)
Wins are brilliant obviously but top performances I am still waiting for…we have not put one team away yet, have we scored 4 goals in a game yet. Even Cambridge have done that. It’s time to deliver and Bristol rovers are the perfect team for it no excuses.
Leonard can 100% play in the number 10 role. Not as industrious as Thor but his vision and chance creation could be the answer to unlocking some of these tight defences
Thank you very much for your comment Alex which is greatly appreciated. I think Marc Leonard would do a good job in that position however if he is fit I think Willumsson is very effective there. It is a real conundrum for Chris Davies. KRO!
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I have to say that the gas offered very little today and we took our foot off our own gas in the second half. The score could have been much more. Well done to your travelling fans who made the journey and best wishes for the rest of the season. KRO!
What about Khela coming in as left back as that’s his natural position anyway, I do think Buchanan will start though. Leonard for me would be a perfect number 10 in that sort of front 4 with Keshi on the right, Stanno on the left & May up top. But leaving Thor out seems criminal! 😂 just shows how much quality we have lads. I’m going for a 3-0 win tomorrow with Klarer banging a header in for his first goal of the season! KRO Matt & Gary
We saw Khela in the cup a few times this year at LB. If I’m honest I totally forgot about him but for me, if Cochrane and Buchanan are out then our strongest option is TGH. Yeah I totally get the Leonard predicament. He is such a quality player to have on the bench. Let’s get those 3 points tomorrow. KRO! :)
Completely understand your reservations. 1-0 is a sensible prediction mate. I started to think though….if I’m a rovers player…going away to brum, while they’re in form, during a busy Christmas period, 10/11 fully fit first teamers….i might get a ‘tight calf’ on the way to the game! 😂 KRO 4-0 blues.
Thank you very much for your comment Michael which is greatly appreciated. 4-0 would be great although all of our home games so far have been quite tight, KRO!
I'm sure I read somewhere that Promise Omochere is actually out injured at the minute, I'm not sure if it's true but that's one of the few opposition players you mentioned as a potential threat. And their fans don't seem very confident in their ability to play after a break, and they've just had 2 weeks off with no EFL trophy game and their league game getting postponed last weekend. I think we might be about to witness our first 3 goal+ win tomorrow. From everything I've heard about them, it's just pure negativity and it seems like we really might stick one to them, and hopefully Davies and the players have learned from the Northampton game. We do appear to learn from our setbacks so I'm going to say they have and we'll win 3-0, and by more if we score a couple goals early, they're a side I can see collapsing a bit. I'd go with this team: Allsop, Bielik, Klarer, Davies, Laird, Paik, Iwata, Anderson, Willumsson (if fit), Stansfield and May. I see Luke Harris has ability, but he's just not showing it for us at the minute. Took his goal well mid week but I honestly can't think of any other moments in that game where I thought he showed his quality. And given I'm desperate for Leonard to get game time, and he played further up the pitch for Northampton last season, if Thor isn't fit I'd definitely be playing Leonard in that 10 role or even swapping to more of a 4-3-3 shape in midfield with Iwata further back behind Paik and Leonard. In possession it'd be more like a 3-1-5-1 where Bielik sits back to form the 3, Iwata just in front, and the 5 being Anderson, Paik, Leonard, Stansfield and Laird, with May up top. I think that could work maybe - but I'm not Chris Davies and I'll bow to his superior knowledge. Fingers crossed for the win as the minimum, KRO lads.
Thank you very much for your comment Matthew which is greatly appreciated. I’ve just read that Thor is available for this game which is great. I think most Blues fans would like to see Leonard starting however ir will be interesting to see the starting line up and what Chris Davies thinks. KRO!
@BCFCRoyalBlue That's great news, where did you see that if you don't mind me asking? Great podcast again, definitely in my regular rotation of Blues pods now!
If Thor is fit I'd like to see us play a diamond in midfield. Iwata, Paik & Leonard as the 3 and Thor in the 10. Think we'll win 4-0 this weekend also. We have to score 4 in a league game at some point surely?!?
Rather sacrifice one of the backs to slot Leonard in. Especially tomorrow without Cochran. Play a 3-2-1( Leonard in the 1) then the 4 of Thor in the 10 slot, May in the 9, Stansfield left and Anderson on the right! Take the game to them!!! Pick the formation on who is available especially tomorrow. KRO
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. That would really be an attacking formation of intent. I can’t see Chris deviating from the two centre halves with Bielek at right back and possibly Buchanan starting at left back, but you never know! KRO!
@BCFCRoyalBlue With 3 center halfs and our 2 defensive midfielders sitting in front of them was what I would love to see today. Especially at home with the personnel available. I'm sure he'll set up the team to win though. We really are spoilt for choices when could we last say that! 🙂...Enjoy the game today, wish I lived closer on match days. KRO
I would put Iwata in the 10 Leonard at 6. 3-4-1-2 The 10 don't have to be an AMC they can play has APM that's what Iwata is, and he has scored all his goals from an advanced position.
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I would love to see a formation that includes Marc Leonard in the starting line up, but I guess it always comes down to what Chris Davies thinks and in him we trust. KRO!
Thank you very much for your comment Tony which is greatly appreciated. That’s true the amount of goals doesn’t really matter as long as we win the game! KRO!
2 0 will do me,Alfie and Jay are going to go on a goal spree sooner or later,take note of what CD has said about Bristol Rovers. But I’ll stick to my 2 0. Keep up the good work lads.
Thank you very much for your comment Helen which is greatly appreciated. I know what you mean. We don’t trounce any team and most of our scores are close. At the end of the day, as long as we get the three points I’d settle for a season of narrow wins! I wish the Blues would make it easier though as it does give the old ticker a hard time! KRO!
Nothing official mate just rumours and preferences amongst fans. The consensus is a winger would be good and TGH on a permanent but that could be summer. Looking forward to seeing what moves the club makes in Jan (if any) KRO mate :)
Get Scotty Wright back fit, he would like a new signing, I think he would open a few of these defences up, and I would love to see Lennard getting a start, I fear he might want away in Jan, as he's much to good to be sat on the bench in this division, and that would be a real shame going forward IF we go up this season, there isn't many championship sides he couldn't get in to, just the right age as well CD is going to have his hands full keeping everybody happy
You boys should be pulling our pants down tomorrow. We have no fight, no grit, no way of playing or identity. Relying solely on Josh Griffiths to keep us in matches will end in relegation. The only interesting thing about this fixture is that the teams that Brum have dropped points against this season (bar Reading) are all teams that Rovers have beaten this season. Still predicting an absolute pasting. 4-0 Brum.
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. It will be interesting as our toughest games this season have been against the teams that have been struggling! After this game we wish you and all the Gas fans all the best for the season. KRO!
How about a 3 - 3 - 1 - 3 line up. All out attack minded! This is one of the few ways both Willumsson and Leonard could be in the starting line-up. Stanno 8 - May 9 - Anderson 11 Willumsson 10 Paik 5 - Leonard 6 - Iwata 7 Davies 3 - Klarer 4 - Bielik 2 Allsop 1
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. It’s a tough call isn’t it. Your suggestion would work but then it means no place for Cochrane. I appreciate that Cochrane is currently injured but what do you do when he comes back? I guess that is why Chris Davies is paid the big bucks! KRO!
We pretty much know now that most teams will score against us, we don’t seem to be able to get a balance between being solid at the back and going on the front foot, with the players we have though we will out score most teams, I’m saying 3-1 to blues tomorrow.
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Our biggest challenges this season have been against similar teams so it will be interesting to see how we cope with the inevitable low block in this game. What we need is an early goal. KRO!
Haha! I don’t think it will be that big a gap but hopefully looking forward to an entertaining game. Thanks for commenting, we appreciate everyone’s input on this channel. KRO! :)

George Friend is director of football at Bristol Rovers
He is indeed! I totally forgot about that. Thanks for commenting, it’s greatly appreciated. KRO! :)
Yeah, most of ‘his’ signings have been awful so far.
Leonard is a Blues player, Harris is on loan. Go for Leonard and keep him happy
Couldn’t agree more mate but Davies seems to have a real soft spot for Harris. Thanks for the comment, KRO! :)
Leonard has to play a very cultured player
We love Leonard Keith. Hoping he can get some more minutes over the Christmas / new year period as the games are coming thick and fast. KRO mate :)

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I would love to see a formation that includes Marc Leonard in the starting line up, but I guess it always comes down to what Chris Davies thinks and in him we trust. KRO!
Hi both ,I'm just predicting a win , I don't get close with scores , can't see the top two dropping points , so 6 in a row. KRO
Thank you very much for your comment Tony which is greatly appreciated. That’s true the amount of goals doesn’t really matter as long as we win the game! KRO!
2 0 will do me,Alfie and Jay are going to go on a goal spree sooner or later,take note of what CD has said about Bristol Rovers. But I’ll stick to my 2 0. Keep up the good work lads.
Thanks Alan, greatly appreciated. I’ve also gone 2-0 so 🤞🏻
I’ll take 3 points no matter which way it comes. KRO! :)
We dont score a lot of goals .usually 2 goals a win is a win so im happy win 3 points
Thank you very much for your comment Helen which is greatly appreciated. I know what you mean. We don’t trounce any team and most of our scores are close.
At the end of the day, as long as we get the three points I’d settle for a season of narrow wins! I wish the Blues would make it easier though as it does give the old ticker a hard time! KRO!
Gas 10😁
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO!
Have you heard anything about January signings ?
Nothing official mate just rumours and preferences amongst fans. The consensus is a winger would be good and TGH on a permanent but that could be summer. Looking forward to seeing what moves the club makes in Jan (if any)
KRO mate :)
Get Scotty Wright back fit, he would like a new signing, I think he would open a few of these defences up, and I would love to see Lennard getting a start, I fear he might want away in Jan, as he's much to good to be sat on the bench in this division, and that would be a real shame going forward IF we go up this season, there isn't many championship sides he couldn't get in to, just the right age as well
CD is going to have his hands full keeping everybody happy
You boys should be pulling our pants down tomorrow. We have no fight, no grit, no way of playing or identity. Relying solely on Josh Griffiths to keep us in matches will end in relegation. The only interesting thing about this fixture is that the teams that Brum have dropped points against this season (bar Reading) are all teams that Rovers have beaten this season. Still predicting an absolute pasting. 4-0 Brum.
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. It will be interesting as our toughest games this season have been against the teams that have been struggling! After this game we wish you and all the Gas fans all the best for the season. KRO!
How about a 3 - 3 - 1 - 3 line up. All out attack minded! This is one of the few ways both Willumsson and Leonard could be in the starting line-up.
Stanno 8 - May 9 - Anderson 11
Willumsson 10
Paik 5 - Leonard 6 - Iwata 7
Davies 3 - Klarer 4 - Bielik 2
Allsop 1
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. It’s a tough call isn’t it. Your suggestion would work but then it means no place for Cochrane. I appreciate that Cochrane is currently injured but what do you do when he comes back? I guess that is why Chris Davies is paid the big bucks! KRO!
im going for Blues 4-0 Br.... i think it will be an absolute stroll...KRO
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Loving the confidence! KRO!
We pretty much know now that most teams will score against us, we don’t seem to be able to get a balance between being solid at the back and going on the front foot, with the players we have though we will out score most teams, I’m saying 3-1 to blues tomorrow.
Thanks Paul. Will certainly take a 3-1. KRO! :)
I really really hope he doesn't start Harris or laird, choosing Harris over Leonard is criminal
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

Thank you very much for your comment Paul which is greatly appreciated. KRO!
Not Laird please
Would need to be TGH for me if he isn’t confident in Buchanan making a league comeback. KRO mate :)
Definitely, I agreed with you on Exeter post match about TGH, so versatile.
Blues 4-0 Bristol Rovers. Thats what it should be because Bristol Rovers are pants.
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Our biggest challenges this season have been against similar teams so it will be interesting to see how we cope with the inevitable low block in this game. What we need is an early goal. KRO!
3-0 blues Stansfield 2 lennard 1 .
Nice! Love it mark. KRO mate.
5-1 for you tmr🤣
Haha! I don’t think it will be that big a gap but hopefully looking forward to an entertaining game. Thanks for commenting, we appreciate everyone’s input on this channel. KRO! :)
This is gonna be a big one Chaps! 4-0
We are at home, the blue boys are on fire!
STANNO hat trick! 🎉 💙🤍👌
Thanks Donna. Would love a 4-0! 😊
Thanks for the comment, KRO! :)
