Eustace exploited Pears' weakness in the air in the first few minutes at their place. Now they have Carlton Morris who will be his normal, physical self.

Can already hear the fingernails of lady luck dragging down the blackboard of results for this one...Sadly I feel like Rovers have self-sabotaged and become victims of the hard man-slog that is Championship football just at the wrong time, with an otherwise winnable game at home against rag-bag opposition now becoming more of a challenge to compete. Coupled with the day being ostensibly one of 'celebration' it feels like there may well be (self-inflicted) rain on the parade, despite the sunshine and feel-good factor of three hard-fought wins on the bounce. Certainly the loss of our talisman keeper between the sticks, with his strong hand style, rapid reflexes, distributive excellence and ability to organise those in front of him, is a major concern. His 'understudy' blazed the ball straight out of play from a goal-kick on his first act of return midweek, demonstrating (worryingly) little or no change in approach during his time on the sidelines. Ho hum. On to the game. The Rams have also picked up a bit of momentum recently, and can be expected to want to dominate, although their manager will have less insight into Rovers tactics than he might had there been a more familiar nucleus to our line up than the completely re-engineered side his pseudo-Rovers-Rams will face. That might play to our advantage. Football is a game that is highly sensitive to factors such as confidence, and our team can rightly take some kudos from having ground out three successive wins following a painful fallow period. Stability and team spirit are highly volatile factors too, though, and we now have to chop and change with our ragbag journeymen international player soup squad to find a combination of resolve, drive and flair capable of battering the Rams. So, here goes.. Rovers rally, Rams retaliate - Rovers 1 - Derby 1 Rovers revert, Rams relish the resigner's return - Rovers 0 - Derby 2 Rovers Rampant Raiders (w)reak Resounding Result on Retreating Rams - Rovers 3 -Rams 1 Meh.. at least the sun will be shining and we will be in Blue and White at home 🙂 COYB! VENKSTERS AND VANITY PROJECT VENDORS OUT!

Hope this isn't his Dack moment. The lad looks capable of playing at the very top.

Big job for VI facing a very physical side without the intended backbone of the squad. (Toth, Wharton, Carter, Tronstad, broken foot guy, Cantwell)

Puts Edwards in a strong position to dictate the January transfer window at Boro...

Edwards would be crazy to take that Wolves job especially with Boro chasing promotion and looking decent. Wolves's job isn't an attractive one for me. Need major signings there in January to stop getting relegation or money to spend.

Exactly, JE's instructions shoot at every opportunity he will buggar up at least one. Heartbroken for Toth.

Does it get us past the January window?

I was thinking similar due to the way he just pulled up. Let's hope plug head sees it as a chance to get his shirt back and puts in some inspired performances. I won't hold me breath though. Wharton out too, Carter also making the decision to let Hyam go look as a stupid as we all knew it was. Not fancying Saturday at all now.

Finally got to watch the game. Good 1st half decent 2nd with some dodgy spells but we never eeally looked uncomfortable. Now I have not been a big fan of Miller but he had a very good game tonight MoM for me. Another incompetent referee so.e complete misses and phantom calls, one for a goal kick that should have been a corner if he can't see that he should not be reffin. I will leave it at that. Morishita needs a goal, I like Ohashi he is always in the wars and needs to be offered so.e protection by refs following the rules of the game. How bad is Toth cos Pears only action tonight was to kick the ball into touch and yes his hair looks stupid. Kind of dreading Saturday now, can we get special permission to play the legends?

I did say similar in the Leicester thread, 6 points could have been 1 with Pears but he’s had decent runs of form before so we just have to hope he has a good few months

Hes also got history with Wolves. Big pay rise, instant Premier League football, little expectation of survival and even if they go down theyll have parachute payments and be favourites to come back up.

Well he's got 3 months, we have no other choice than to wish him all the best---for our sakes and his. God job we didn't get rid of him in the window which I think was the plan.

There may be other solutions for short sleeves…take it into a local seamstress 😉 The challenge is having to hit minimum production runs in two designs.

Love the quarter shoulder wrap

Can only be long surely

Another beauty from 1905/06 presumably in slightly lighter Cambridge Blue.

You're going to be getting me in trouble for buy all these bloody Rovers shirts. +1 here. Short sleeve? I know the originals were long sleeve but this style is a really good summer shirt.

Yes I would buy something similar to that shown on the picture of Crompton. I very rarely buy shirts these days but was hoping to get the anniversary shirt as a one off. However I wouldnt even have that white monstrosity (which doesnt even represent Club Colours) as a gift. You could do far worse than reproduce faithfully that first known strip from the Alexandra Meadows photo in 1878. It's quite quirky with the different coloured sleeves, the correctly proportioned Maltese Cross and the small numbering on the front of the shirt. And of course blue and white halves.

You wouldnt reproduce a picture with a bloke in it who was never actually the groom either.

He did score one of the best goals I've ever seen at QPR! If that was by a Premier league player it would be shown endlessly.

On Hedges. He’s far from a world beater but I don’t share the very negative slant adopted by some posters. I share the view of each of our last 4 regarded pro manager/coaches Mowbray JDT Eustace and Ismail who undoubtedly trust/ed him to do the team player job that he never appears to shirk.
