Fair play, Rovers look to have brought a few hundred fans...

Scott Sinclair is tonight's option for the curse of the returning player.

May I be the first person to comment that their defender Mola has plenty of bite in his tackles.

Isn't he filling in for someone?
Is it his first cap?

eastterrace is right-looks embarrassingly empty! 

It’s almost as if the the ticket prices are too high for L3 fayre. 

Who’d have thought it. 

But fear not the SMT are on the case…

It cant help, i've a season ticket and I took the easy option, fair weather fan that I am.

Bristol Rovers to get proceedings underway...

aliwibble

Bristol Rovers kick off, lump it forward and it's out for a throw on our right.

aliwibble

We get the ball up to Tyreece, he gets into the box but the ball's nicked off his toes.

ForeverAddickted

Nice little move down the right, with Godden linking up with TC, the latter almost breaks into the right corner of the box but Rovers defend the move well

aliwibble

Rovers come down our left and the ball's deflected for a corner.

ForeverAddickted

Corner to Rovers

Fumbluff

Is Sinclair in his 40’s now?

Sliced behind for another corner by Small  2

Hal1x

Smalls given away a corner,  let him go!

aliwibble

Corner evades everyone, comes to Small who miscues and it's out for a corner from the other side.

ForeverAddickted

Rovers have a second corner after the ball flashes past everyone into the area, Small shanks his clearance out for another set piece

That crowd looks like a record low from the telly

@LouisMend

Now a third corner for Rovers - which Charlton deal with  3

eastterrace6168

Early doors, Rovers have a couple of corners, but comes to nothing...

aliwibble

Ball into the box, cleared scrappily eventually and then they're given offside

BigDiddy

COYR - though the pitch looks patchy and may well affect our fast flowing football.

2 corners to Rovers already

ForeverAddickted

Brief bit of panic in the Charlton area for the third corner, but we get a FK after Berry does well to clear it

Louis Mendez

@LouisMend

Now a Charlton corner  4'

eastterrace6168

Forearm smash on TC, should have been a FK, but just a corner

aliwibble

Nice ball (from Docherty?) for Tyreece up the left. He gets bundled over, and we end up getting a corner (did I miss something during the replay)

@LouisMend

Griffiths claims the corner  5'

ForeverAddickted

Rovers pressing us early; Gillesphey and Docherty did well before the corner to pass it around, still need to be a bit quicker with their press

aliwibble

Edwards takes and the keeper comes through a bundle of players to claim
