Wow, quite literally none of this makes any sense to me!

Obviously does to you train enthusiasts though. 

I thought the exact same.

Must be our un-trained eyes.

If you’re heading down to Ewood tonight you can help make sure a child who might not otherwise, receives a present this Christmas.

Soft toys, footballs, caps, clothing, toys and memorabilia will all be gratefully received.

The Community Trust are doing some great work feeding kids who might otherwise be going hungry during the school holidays, hopefully we can put a smile on their faces on Christmas morning.

We haven’t drawn in 18 league games, is today the day?

I knew a train spotter at school, a right old weirdo he was too.

No we prefer to leave it right at the end of the season and get a bunch of utterly, downright painful ones.

[WacoRover]

With 18 points from our last 10 games, we’re not that pitiful. We only had 10 from our first 10 games. 

And, despite getting shut out by Leeds, Rovers have scored 12 goals in the last six. 

Ive nearly given up any hope of playoffs this season. But, we are really due a strong showing at Ewood. Szmodics has 7 goals in our last six, I favor a Sammy goal, with Wharton winning this one, 

2-1.

I'm happy to see that Nakhi Wells is out for them. He always seems to excel against us.

Yeah, he always scores past us (or so it feels like)

Good news he's out.

Just noticed this on the SS website, don't know if anyone's posted elsewhere - interview with Sammie:

Well at least the empty seats will include those in the Darwen End this evening.

We can only hope the flat track bullies ride this evening, to lift what is sure to be a morgue like atmosphere, (bar the usual Burnley based chants).

Obviously it's a good thing on the one hand but on the other,we are now celebrating more academy players filling out the bench because the squad is so thin/decimated.

Is this on the red button tonight

What a night for young Rory Fineran, becomes the youngest ever member of a first team squad 👋👋

[moerpho]

Sammie as captain….can only mean a win?

[Mercer]

Good luck Rory!

Hope we go 3 up and the lad gets 5 minutes and nets a goal.  Would be a wonderful night!

[bazza]

Can't find Finneran in the youth squads on Rovers' site.

Been a few articles about him, tipped as a top future player. Got way more press than Ash Phillips or Adam Wharton did at their age I think, or thats my impression at least. Seems to be physically way ahead of a typical 15 year old.

Very very very interested to see how Ennis looks with a full start. Hope he looks the part.

[rovers11]

Good starting 11. Think we'll win tonight.
