v Birmingham FA Cup 4th Round replay - 31/1/23

[arbitro]

Just looking at the Met Office forecast it has a 20% chance of fog this afternoon at Ewood.

Kind-of glad to see I'm not the only one not brimming over with enthusiasm for this game.

Don't get me wrong; I want us to win and get through to the next round, but not to the extent of dragging my weary, aged bones down to Ewood for a game against opponents we'll have played at least three times by the end of the season.

Hope we win and all that, but I think that reading - between the lines of - the January transfer window thread has depressed me too much.

Yes, fog was very thick, but slightly lifting now, unless it has moved closer to Ewood.

Would be good if the fog prevented us seeing as far as the Riverside...

Looking forward to today's game. Hoping for an entertaining game with a few youngsters getting on the pitch. If we win it'll be another 120k in our transfer kitty, so we better play our best 11.

 

3-1 rovers, BBD, Dack and Wharton.

Strong starting line-up. No messing about here.

I see Travis still doesn't make it in the starting XI. Dacky taking on the captain's role. And rightly so.

Probably the best team we have with the injuries. Glad Vale isn’t playing.

[AllRoverAsia]

Keith Stroud is Ref, saw it in the digital programme.

I know our hand has been forced but that back 4 is rough😬

Always thought there was a player in there especially at champ level.

Is Markanday injured?

He's "not 100%", but I suspect he'll be protected to secure a loan move.

[Blue blood]

Brittain is getting into Cory Evans type of fitness for us. 

Other than cb and our constantly injured rb it's our strongest team - in fact only Hyam could be counted on to start outside this 11. 

[Gordon Gekko]

Time to crack open a beer and get ready for some FA Cup magic! we’ll have our hands full with Hannibal Lector this afternoon

Yeah a few places pal

[BigBar]

Pitch doesn't look great given we haven't played at Ewood in weeks...assume we aren't still training on it?

[ItsRoverZ]

We lasted 3 minutes  ..reda khadra scores LOL can't write it

[goozburger]

Morton with another suicidal pass.

[BankEnd Rover]

Khadra…knew it

[BigBar]

Absolutely fucking typical. Shite from Morton and Kaminski
