It is pretty weird to have disciplinary action carried over from a game which technically is abandoned. With that said, if a player has been sent off for some kind of violent foul or assault it wouldn't be reasonable to forget that just because the game was abandoned. I assume that's where the logic stems from, although it is without any nuance or flexibility.

What is the logic in that out of interest? Everything else is like the game never happened, yet all cards remain. It's beyond stupid, in my opinion.

Disciplinary sanctions remain.

Logistically it doesn't help when it's raining so heavily that we are essentially in a valley. The rain coming down from the Bolton Road and Highercroft sides will just add to the swell of the River Darwen.

Be interesting to see if their red and 4 yellows are wiped.

How much arguing will our lot be doing though ? We've no CEO just a jumped up former player and a bloke who'll probably think he can get away will drawing money off another game and crowd.

When people are saying stuff like Burnley were fine, Man U were fine. Even so if you want to mention the other clubs there's a big difference in where they are situated and the size of the rivers next to them. The way the level rises so rapid in the darwen near Ewood being at the foot of a valley is nothing like those other grounds. Bloomfield Road doesn't flood when the tides in either.

I’ve developed a mental image of Forshaw in leg irons fixed to a capstan that turns an archimedes screw, he’s chasing a 2 yr contract extension dangling just out of his reach. Pitch pumped dry in no time….

A satisfied customer 😉

By that time we'll of picked up 2/3 injuries and have a CM pairing of Foreshaw and Montgomery.

Put in the same effort as we have been then we should get a result. Charlton, if anything, will be organised but they don't have any reaI standout quality...Apter is a tricky winger but nothing to be concerned about. Personally think this will be our first draw.

You can bet your life on them winning that replay and the lad sent off scoring the winner though- it's the Rovers way.

Only 1 goal conceded in 3 away games so far. 2 wins from 3 away games.

New Order - Someone Like You

Jesus! I mean any excuse to put a negative spin on things but you're surely having a laugh with this one. If anything the players will be rite up for this after Saturday. Bar a poor 45 minutes against Norwich, we've looked solid these past few games. If we put the same away performances as Hull & Watford then we should be confident...Charlton arnt a very good side.

Oxford handily beating Bristol City 3-1 away yesterday just hammers home the point that you can take no result for granted in this league. Unless you're playing Sheffield United, obviously.

Ipswich could very well be the same though. Their team might have gelled or even, if Mckenna doesn't get it sorted, under a new manager.

Mmm I really don't think we will be BATTERED in the replay, the game may be months off from now, by that time our new team will have gelled even more and looking at Saturday's performance we played very well and matched them all over the pitch, so no I have no fear for the replay should it happen.

I was about to post something similar but you've pretty much covered everything. Really thought that the three relegated teams would be too strong for the rest of the league but at the moment it's not necessarily working out that way ( as we showed against Ipswich). Like you say, still very early to judge, but despite that 7-1 hammering I think QPR may have the best front 4 in the league with Kone, Chair, Poku and Saito. Defensively not sure about them. Interesting that it may not be as cut and dried as some thought

Charlton a well organised outfit. We ought to have too much for them but it will be a right scrap. Kaminski has made a good start with them, JRC less so.

So annoying. The lads put in a great shift in horrific conditions, and were so close to the finish line... all for nothing! It's all the fault of our board and negligent owners - nothing else. Absolutely tinpot. It's gonna hurt like hell when we get battered in the replay.

After this week, there are only 3 free midweeks until January, one to be taken up by the rearranged ipswich game.

---------------Toth Alebiosu--Miller--Wharton--Riberio -------Tronstad---TGH Morishita---Cantwell----Hedges --------------Yuki Although, I'd like to see what Gudjohnson is all about, probably have to start the same 11 as Ipswich. Side note, I notice that JRC doesn't feature a lot for Charlton, mostly an used sub and has only come off the bench twice so far, playing just 5mins across both appearances.

Must say, I do like that backpack!

Yep, it will be replayed in full, no other outcome will even be considered i don't think. It's frustrating but any anger, as always, should be directed at the Snr management/Owners. This has been a long standing issue that they have repeatedly failed to rectify. We just have to accept a replay and get on with it.
