The cost (positionally/points wise) isn't an issue, the opportunity to bring another 4K+ away support is a financial bonus for SuFail. A moral victory for the players but the Ipswich players will be having a better night than our lads. Sickener.

I thought our match performance was very good, players playing to tactical plan. was surprised when Ismael went to back 3 against 10 men Wharton was excellent and Cantwell led the team again. Toth is such a good keeper and showing us all why we were wrong to write him off like I did so I'm pleased he proved me wrong.

Frustrating as would have been a promising result and put us in a good league position. Lots to play for ofc but a big game to win. Guaranteed to lose replay

Very surprised how defensive City went so early in the game. Wouldn't have taken Haaland off at all. Thought Pep got that wrong. Pep is building a different type of team with less focus on possession and better transition team I thought Arteta picked the wrong starting eleven cos I would have picked Eze in place of Merino and Martinelli for Trossard

I very nearly said something similar in my post but decided against it. I do rate Leonard a little higher though, mostly because he would actually work and didn't act like he didn't want it. Vale was frequently lazy in a Rovers shirt.

Yeah, I was mixing the two up. I thought they were both equally ineffectual to be honest.

I’m not an authority on non return valves but I’ve fitted a few. How would yours work. If it shut’s off when the height of the river reaches the out let pipe where does the water on the pitch go ?

Just the 7-0 loss today against Leeds

There’s all sorts of ways you can get injured on pitches like that. How many long distance sliding tackles did we see ? No way to control those. You go flying after a ball near the touch line and going sliding headlong into the boundary walls. You take an almighty swipe at where you think the ball is going to be and it isn’t there = muscle injuries etc. I would imagine most of the players were glad to get off. Plus the fact the non - swimmers among them could have been in danger of drowning.

What's a 'barm cake' and why would you want to eat chips with any kind of cake? But yes, the John Bulls from Hollytree are ace. Manxman chippy used to do a good one, many years ago - I think Hollytree is the only place you can get one now.

In society in general. Anybody's fault but mine.

I took it a different way. Just another example of the farce that is Rovers -the players clearly knew, so why weren't the freezing cold fans told quickly in an announcement? And I just thought that their players were praising their fans for giving good support having travelled a long way in crap conditions. Sammy, nice touch from him and the BBE as well.

Because Pasha is a brain dead dip-shit

Indeed, just a shame we didn't get our just desserts. Would have been interesting to see if Gudjonson and Kargbo could capitalise on the situation. Thought the word team summed up the performance yesterday, and at Watford to be fair.

Just feeling, I just don't see anything else

based on fact or gut feeling?

We could try the magnanimous approach… ’The abandonment removed Ipswich’s chance to rescue a point in the final ten minutes with only ten men. We are happy for them to be afforded this opportunity at a date of your choosing’.

I believe the decision to replay it has already been made. Just going through the motions listening to both clubs before making it official. There is no way anything but a full replay happens, they won't want to set any kind of precedence.

Millwall ?

Expensive, and needs quite a bit of maintenance. The club is not very good at maintenance.

Hey, when I made that point I was downvoted 🙂 It happened a bit ago no? (Can't remember who we were playing). Arrived at a home game around 2pm to hear announcement on Radio 5 that it was abandoned. Cue Rovers fans, away fans, BBC 5Live all moaning about the ref and late cancellation etc etc.

Good. Then we can get back to football because what we saw yesterday was in parts very encouraging.

Someone has explained it above, didn't realise that to be honest. Decision tomorrow apparently.

I said yesterday that Rovers have to put forward a case to put pressure on the EFL Board but it has to be reasoned and structured. Right now I don't think there is anybody capable of doing this down there so I personally would be speaking to our shirt sponsor to put together a letter that would put pressure on the people making the decision.
