Assuming its the same player, Mbonzale was part of our U13 squad less than 2 years ago

Send the EFL a few Leavers Pies!

There was 3 points to play for. Give us 2, give them 1 & be done with it.

I think everyone was smashed before kick off.. remember half of the fans packed into the Sainsburys buying anything and everything that had an alcoholic % on the label. When wasn't Caddis shocking!

Haha I was drunk by the time we got off our train. Ended up in a home fans pub singing about Charlie Mulgrew - we didn't leave a good impression. BTW Caddis was shocking and I told him so!!

I have never got this harsh thing, the manager should pick his best team. Does he wait for someone to have a stinker and give away points before reverting to his best eleven ?

Then Batty won't make it I'm afraid. If he's sulking in the U21s rather than ripping up trees trying to impress (either us or his next employer) then he's done for.

I'm predicting a 1-1 draw for this. Gudjohnsen to get his first Rovers goal. Predicted team Toth Alebiosu Miller Wharton Ribeiro G-Hickman Tronstad Morishita Cantwell Hedges Gudjohnsen I just think, away from home especially Rovers could do with Gudjohnsen leading the line, with a bit more strength than Ohashi has. Love Yuki, but I'd have him come on as sub for this one. McLoughlin also unfortunate to not come back in after suspension, but would be harsh on Miller or Wharton to drop either of them them.

Small things would be classed as influence no? Sure it won't matter in the grand scheme of things but hey ho

From an article: https://eflanalysis.com/news/the-efl-board-members-deciding-blackburn-rovers-and-ipswich-town-fate-as-teams-make-their-case/ Does sound like a much more involved process than first anticipated.

Some of the best ideas are born out of situations like this. Perhaps this could be the new football version of the cricketing format Twenty/20. There are already talks taking place, of extending the play off positions, so how about the teams in 7th and 8th playing the teams in 5th and 6th away from home with a man short and a goal down, but only play 15 minutes each way. They would probably go at it hell for leather. To add a bit of an it's a knockout theme to it, soak the pitch beforehand and make sure the ball sticks in puddles and won't bounce. It is just a joke by the way, before anyone starts to tear into me.

Opportunity here for the EFL and SKY to make a spectacle of replaying the last 20 mins. Tag the coverage on to before or after another decent audience fixture

Fair point. Less than a year ago our match vs Pompey was delayed too so the EFL will probably factor that in when making a decision, but hoping we come out of this one with 3 points or continuing the match where we left off.

Ref Watch: Blacburn-Ipswich abandoned at 1-0 in 80th min! Is it fair for game to be replayed? | Football News | Sky Sports https://share.google/5bq7q3VQaZpuM1yqo Notice patting the refs back on the way down the tunnel? Influential?

a couple of other former U18s/U21s have found new clubs Teddy Ramwell is in Spain Tom Bloxham must love blue & white halves

Given the reluctance to give first team squad players any game time I agree.

So THEY'RE the words🤣

Was a hell of a day out though wasn't it?

Ahhh just in time!

Wait we have another fixture??? Nope won't do it, I can't move on from Ipswich 😆

We may have Wood, Tyjon, Litherland, Michalski/Honor, and possibly Montgomery in todays side, but apart from that, it will be U18s I think

How simple would it be to play out the last 15 pre next fixture

Someone I know who is well connected in football admin circles is pretty certain they are considering “something other than a full replay”, else they would simply have announced the decision by now. I don’t know how much of this is guesswork and assumption on her part but the EFL reps met last night and you would think if the decision was to replay the game that would be announced quickly. I’m wondering whether they want to discuss the practicalities of replaying the last 15 minutes, 11v10, with the clubs?
