Rollercoaster of emotions today. Woke up early and was incredibly concerned at the start, then absolutely ecstatic with Root's batting and in love with the batting from Archer. Took me by surprise, after I'd completely resigned myself to the continuation of an expected batting collapse! How wrong I was. Fair play to England, they ended superbly today.

It's quite simple for me after having seen Wednesday play several times this season. Stop Bannon and a huge part of any threat they offer is nullified.

The clearest sign yet that he’s sack-proof…

That was a great way to end the first day. Every time a wicket comes for England you fear the worst - a collapse. Luckily Root played his own game today and didn't throw his bat around. Starting to get a little irritated with Brook. What a talent but he's throwing it away with this pursuit of ultra-aggressive batting. If he plays his way in he can score loads of runs. Root showing at the end what to do. There's a time and place to be aggressive. Him & Archer's partnership could be game defining. There's two thought processes for tomorrow - one part of me wants to stay in for as long as possible, maybe reach lunch as at the best case we can do. The other side of me says that may tire Archer out. Maybe it's best to keep throwing at it tomorrow morning with a hope to get a quick 30/40 runs and keep Archer fresh to come steaming in. Certainly a more interesting game than the first.

Agreed, but good to look at it in hard numbers. Preston are a very good alternative case to look at.

Its a poor league this season and we have played some good football at times. We need more of the same and no silly plays Gudjohnsen 2 Wednesday 0

Personally I think it's aimed more for corporates and sponsors given the price and I think the club will fear ordinary fans asking difficult questions. The recent Souness and Mowbray evening was £50 and I don't know anybody who went. The fairest way would be a ballot amongst season ticket holders but fairness seems to have been removed from the Ewood vocabulary.

I'd still be in if I was Captain, I'd never have run that bloody single! But yes, I’ve had a ‘mare’ on the declaration.......I hope Archer bowls as well as he's batting!

Nobody is denying it. Read the laws.

A hearty amen to all that has been said- a must-win game, owls are L1 bound, etc. I look for the difference-maker- that would be Cantwell, if 100%. The guy we need production from- Ohashi. It’s been a month since he scored, vs Derby. The guy most likely to score: Gudjohnsen. The club did its work, getting this guy on-board. Prediction: Rovers, 2-1. I’m tired of fretting & catastrophizing every game. Can’t be anything else but a Rovers win.

It's literally only a group of Rovers fans that insist this club disappears if Venkys disappear that can't grasp you can be competitive - and even successful - in this league if you have good operators and a well thought out plan. There's plenty of clubs in recent history getting promotion with smaller budgets, but they get ignored.

£20/35 per ticket to listen to val straight after christmas,thats a lot🥴our commercial department clearly have cottage cheese for brains

Desperate for cash. Noticed a lot this season, an event that might have cost a tenner with a pint thrown in is now 30, 40, 50 quid.

If hes not ready to push De Neve then there is something wrong.

Don't know the exact ruling, but it would be difficult to pause the play at the moment Morishita was fouled and not conclude it was a goalscoring opportunity.

Jesus Christ!..they will be queuing out the Door for that one,Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bob Marley and The Wailers - Small Axe

They haven't finished yet Jim - 350 is a winning score at the Gabba for sure.

Eustace never played for Bayern Munich

Much as I love you Gav I'm fucking glad you're not the England captain 🙂

In a way thats quite encouraging that we can boot out Venkys and still be competitive. Do you have Preston's cost side stats (wages, admin etc).

The entire point of football is for a team to try and win games to finish as high up the table as possible. Unfortunately Rovers this seems to be quite a long way down the list of priorities. How can they expect attendances to be anything other than pathetic while this is the case.

The Eustace one was only £10.

Weird one, kind of feels like they've downgraded going from their interim to new permanent manager tbh. I do wonder if O'Neill would have considered taking on the rest of the season if he'd been offered a really good deal. With that said, if Nancy has anything about him at all he should be able to be somewhat successful there regardless. Hearts have already completely lost the eight point advantage they had - and Celtic have a game in hand on them.

There were also at least two occasions where he got the ball, charged off down the flank with it and lost possession because he is so poor technically that dribbling and passing accurately seem to be largely beyond him.
