miller needs telliing to concentrate on defending (which he is good at at) and stop trying to pass the ball (he`s shocking at it)

Pitch issues aside, how bad was the first 20 or so minutes. Aimlessly and ponderously passing it from side to side before giving it to Miller to gift the opposition possession.

Can we play Oxford away on Tuesday?

Which is ironic because that's one of the most moronic fuckin comments I've ever read on here. We'll done, top marks👊

Haven't heard a pin drop from these two pillocks for months...reality of your utter incompetence hitting home boys?

you are supposed to be able to complete your fixtures,unless it`s off an obvious weather event or issue beyond your control,failure to complete games usually means a league investigation and a sanction,other games in the area managed to finish their matches so it really is on us,could be a fine,warning or in the worst case a pitch closure and ordered to play elsewhere (can`t see that happening unless it continues at every home game)

I’ve not been able to get to a home game due to work commitments since the Ipswich game. So I’ve not seen a game completed at a Ewood in over 10 weeks! Shambles from top to bottom.

The annual Rovers manager resignation day isn't until a couple of weeks into February, giving enough time for them to stew after a the broken promises surrounding a failed January transfer window before then sorting out an exit strategy

You can make out what they say on that 30 year old sound system?!

You are 100% correct. The league has every right to say we provide you with plenty of funds to run your club, there are physical ways of protecting your pitch (a tank drainage system) if you chose not to we will do our best to get you out of the league.

Extremely disappointing (once again) to be coming away from Ewood piss wet through with no points despite being in a winning position. Once again, a lot of rain fell this afternoon and it’s obvious to everyone that the drainage system could not handle it. However, realistically, what could have been done to prevent this happening again. It’s not like there can be a complete overhaul of the pitch until the summer. The EFL have no other option but to order a replay as per Ipswich but may decide to give the club an ultimatum that could include sanctions if the problems with the pitch are not addressed by next season.

Again, are they not making money out of this by charging full price for the game, then half price (or whatever) for the rearranged game.

We have a 3 week break in home games after 4th January (FA Cup aside). Roughly the same time non-league Rochdale are allowing to install new drainage and a new pitch: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce91x2pdelno Just get it booked in tomorrow. If we're drawn at home in the cup I don't see it being an issue to switch to being away...

There was an apology on the ground by the announcer when the abandonment was announced

I have a feeling , that as been their aim for the last 3 seasons !

I hope the FA take really stringent action. If a stand was unsafe the Licensing people would shut it down. If the ground as a whole wasn't up to professional standards the League wouldnt allow us to compete. Well, the pitch isnt up to professional standards. No different from the rest of the ground imo.

I for one won't be going for the foreseeable now. It's a disgrace and I won't subsidise it. Change is needed.

I might be wrong but I think it takes time to bed a pitch in. Trying to upgrade the pitch now might actually make things worse. Even trying to stick a sticking plaster on it might not make any difference. I'm certainly no expert on grass though. But yeah, I won't be missing my lawn for another oooh three months. This is a new low lads. If we cancel a few more games over the winter then I would fully expect some sort of points deduction, I mean there would have to be wouldn't there? There's timings about being unable to fulfil fixtures because of admin. So you would expect some sort of provision for being unable to fulfil fixtures because of inadequate facilities. It's diabolical and deeply saddening that we've come to this, but not in any way surprising. But this isn't even our low point, not but a long way I don't think. It's surely going to keep getting worse

Duck Ragu tonight - kid ye not. Cheapest French red I can drink. They'll get us relegated on these points won't they.

Unlikely , we have been waiting 15 years for one !

we`ve got the snow and frost in january to look forwards to,chances are the undersoil heating won`t be working,expect further postponements

Not the most pressing matter but how bad is Lewis Miller on the ball? He is like this every game so cant blame the weather, spooning every ball including the most pathetic free kick I think ive ever seen. I didnt think our performance for an hour was particularly good but the conditions made that very difficult. Miroshita though was the one looking to always make something happen. Forshaw was good but an injury to him seemed inevitable and was for nothing.

They’ll (probably) still be under a fee restriction.

U.K. Winters are set to get wetter...will someone warn the f'kin Gobshytes running our Club through the Floor that action needs taking and fast. Still no comment from the Club?

Ok thanks. I suppose if they could change the result then any other Club adversely affected could rightly complain about the integrity of the Competition being compromised.
