Leeds were the only "shock" of the night so chances are if we make it to Round 3, the draw could be a bit of a challenge..

Good to see Spuds go out, I couldn't take much more of their 3rd kit.

Is the game available to watch anywhere please chaps? 

[TheRovers1994]

Complete changes again, like against Walsall should be more than enough to get the job done, thin squad so we need to get many starters rested for a difficult game at Plymouth as possible, hopefully do the job tonight get a big draw for next round then do a job at Plymouth to take us pretty into the international break to regroup and rest up hopefully with a couple new recruits 

[philipl]

JDT has said on Rovers TV it won't be a complete change of eleven. So I guess Brittain starts but at right back with Pickering left and one of Hyam and Carter will be alongside Scott Wharton.

Leo, Morton, Gally, Buckley will be involved (=starting?)

I can't see it anywhere on any live TV, legit or dodgy.

SSN usually do good coverage with goals as they occur.

It's on Rovers TV Premium as long as you have an 1875 membership, season ticket, Premium TV pass, went to Rotherham away, vape, don't have a HG postcode and your email address has been on the database for 5 years

And didn't apply for a home end match ticket at Harrogate and upset the snowflakes. They will check your email address under SWAG terms and conditions.

Ash Phillips would have almost certainly started for us in the cup. He didn't even make Spurs' bench.

It's now being shown in the Blues Bar.

I'm not sure the novelty of watching Rovers at a new ground will also apply to watching it in Blues, but in all seriousness fair play to Rovers here. They won't be able to stream it due to the competition regulations, but at least they've gone to the effort  to get it on.

Having said that, once any club sells out its given away allocation it should be a formality that the game can be beamed back to the home ground. It's a no brainer. It would give an option against illegal streaming and also generate a bit of revenue for the clubs.

How sad is that it's a minor cup game a couple of hours away on a Weds night against a team in Rovers with no hoolie rep.

Swag's new coach is bigger than that stand.

Three at the back with Buckley and Pickering as wing backs ?

Or maybe young Gamble can play right-back?

Yeah, no idea who Doherty is. 

[AspRover]

Back five? I don't think there's a natural right back in that lineup - unless we've got Buckley and Pickering as wing backs?

Leo

Buckley Gamble Hyam Wharton Pickering

Tronstad Garrett

Markanday Gally Moran

 

Or does Gamble play right back? 

 

[alexanders]

Something about showing the match in Blues. Then it should be able to watch for the rest 

[Ricky]

Not sure I would have played Hyam but I suppose the international break is coming up and he’s not going away with Scotland.

And fans wanting to take wife and young kid(s). Sad for sure.

What got my goat was the suggestion on here that such fans who tried to obtain tickets are not real Rovers fans. Pathetic.
