Ok with injuries, but this doesn't bode well:

“Rather than injury, I think the COVID situation is more pertinent for us.”

It might be Brum who have a covid problem. Perhaps they don't want to play us in our present form ?

He specifically said "for us."

He could mean for us, as a club, regarding Saturdays fixture being on. I have very little belief, in me being able to interpretate anything Mowbray says.

2 rovers players out for tomorrow.

This is coming at an awful time for us - really gonna impact our momentum.

Who?

[roversfan99]

We seem to be getting to a stage whereby clubs are considering vaccination status when signing players and also there have been suggestions of fining players who miss games due to not being vaccinated.

Hopefully some of the players who are not vaccinated will now start to consider doing so if they start missing football matches.

There seems to be a massive issue with unvaccinated players across football, mostly young ones I suspect, who are reading rubbish about the vaccine on social media.

Glad the rules for players are the same as for fans, unfortunately though having to rely on the maturity of football players may not bode well

[callumrovers]

I have been told who the players are who have to isolate. Won’t be affecting our recent starting 11, which is a plus 👍

[roversfan99]

Who are they?

[chaddyrovers]

Wonder who the staff member is?

I don’t think it’s fair for me to start naming people. Will make our bench weaker but not the first 11.

[tomphil]

Funny feeling about this one.

Rovers 1   Brum  1

11,554

[Wheelton Blue]

Close game, but I think we'll win this one.

Hull is where we might come unstuck a little, but hopefully these next 2 games will set us up nicely for what should be - covid permitting - a bumper game against Barnsley.

2-1 Rovers

Who cares?? 

[Exiled_Rover]

Going to give this one a miss I think.

Doesn't seem sensible to sit in a crowd of 10k people when COVID is running rampant through the country again.

There are already five games in the championship off this Saturday. The decision on whether to go or not may well be made for us. This week has very much had the feel of March 2020 and the run up to Bristol City game

Why wouldn't our game go ahead given that both clubs have done PCR testing this week and only 3 players are affected?

I can see 5 games off in the premier league, but I can see no mention of championship postponements ?

[Gone to seed]

I don't think there is an icecube in hell's chance the game will go ahead as scheduled. There will be some kind of announcement tomorrow regarding players contracting the thing, and from there it is a short and slippery slope to postponement.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the behind closed doors nonsense reintroduced before the end of the season...and we all know how that works for Mr Snooze and his baffling battle against winning games.

The below four are off plus Cardiff-Derby. I didn’t realise there were that many either.

Looks like touch n go whether this game gets played now....
