20/23 is exceptionally generous. Mind you I thought the same at Hull. The odd point on the road won't keep us up though given we can't win at home either. We need wins.

Well there you go. Was told about this yesterday including the fact Cantwell would not even be travelling - heading for the exit door? Check the timing of my post yesterday @roversfan99 and tell me if you read about it anywhere prior to my post!

He washes his hair on a Tuesday evening so not available.

THIS is something we can ALL do. Can we unite on one thing and see this one through?

Doherty was far too lightweight against Hull. Powell might be better at LWB, didn't think he was anything special against Hull either tbh.

The only highlight this season is how well the academy grads have done, so hope Powell, O'Riordan and Doherty continue that. Still totally confusing Pratt doesn't get in? Thought he more than proved himself.

Have to give alebiosu some Lee way here, was in the Nigeria squad on Saturday then flew back recently and hadn’t played a full 90 since he had the cut.

I can see that team getting a similar result to the one at Ipswich.

wrist injury

Cashin dropped but still no place for Pratt. Disgraceful. O Riordan should have to wait his turn until Pratt does anything wrong. Good at least Cashin has been dropped after that shit show of a display on Saturday.

Is Pears injured? Cashin thrown in too early clearly. This won’t do his confidence any good

Does really feel like the wheels are coming off now. We are looking for Powell to come in and impress. In terms of completed Championship games this XI must have a really really low number? Lowest ever for Rovers since we came down from the Prem? Only Ohashi, Tronstad and McLoughlin have done more than a season I think.

Easiest money you will ever make, for those who can stomach it.

Start tonight for Edmondson - score/update

Fuck it, I don't think I mind that? Bit of pace on a counter?

It wouldn’t surprise me if he sustained a fractured cheekbone on the end of Furlong’s elbow. I do agree he’s not a galvanising leader though.

I'm feeling strangely optimistic, a lot more movement up front than in recent weeks, looking forward to seeing Powell in a position where he could excel (wing back)

Poor from Cantwell and Alebiosu. If you are 75% fit, which I would guess both are, you simply have to play tonight given this is a winnable game on paper and we have very few senior players available. Instead, we are staring down the barrel of another loss tonight, comfortably so, and likely a drop into the bottom 3. Not a fight in this lot, just thinking about their own careers.

Three senior LB/LWBs on the bench. One inexperienced youth LWB on the pitch. Why, on both counts? I know De Neve is shit so no complaints there. But I'd much rather have Pickering or Ribeiro at LWB in a relegation battle even though it's not really their position and they won't create much. Powell better be ready. And if we are starting Powell, what's the actual point of having three players who can only possibly come on in the same position? With the slight exception of Pickering I guess, who could play on the left of the three, although we already have two left-footed CBs on the bench too. I suppose there are just so few players available for the bench they might as well be there.

Wow, that's pretty horrific

Wharton (but he is injured), then maybe Tronstad

He better be sat on the bench supporting, a joke of a captain!

When is Yuki going to get some consideration from a referee, I wonder. The push at Ipswich was so blatant and obvious it made no sense for the officials to simply blank it. He must wonder what he has done to end up so regularly the target of 'clumsy' (i.e. cynical and intentional) challenges every game, which very rarely result in the game being stopped or anyone being penalised (except of course where the twat in the black gives Yuki the card instead!). Anyway, when I looked at that teamsheet I wondered for a moment if I'd stumbled into the U21s page on the Rovers website, rather than knowing instantaneously which senior pros were turning out for the cause this evening. Hiding to nothing, methinks. Twat em, Rovers. COYG!

You can semi justify that matchday squad in December. We've had TWENTY fucking days to strengthen it! Self sabotage is the only answer.

Not sure there’s a leader in the 25 registered players.
