Have we been given an update on Tronstad's injury?

He's so important in the middle this season.

withdrawn as a precaution according to Ismael via Jackson, which hopefully translates as "he is ok"

Ismael noted his ability to make more changes from the bench with his squad now settled. Yuki Ohashi and Sondre Tronstad were withdrawn after taking whacks but those were precautions.

We need Tronstad, hes important to the team.

That option being to spurn any chance of building an attack by repeatedly standing offside.

That really grinds my gears, luckily can’t be offside from throws which become a reasonable route to a chance with Miller on

Is Henrikkson back this week? Hopefully another strong option off the bench

Not from what we've seen so far... Where he fits in is a bit of a puzzle to me. I think hes billed as a number 10 but the way hes played hasnt really suggested that, doesn't seem to have the technical skills to do that role? But early days obviously.

Any of our Scandinavian supporters able to provide an insight?

I went to the Bradford cup game at Ewood and he was awful. I didn't see any feature that looked promising, physically or technically. Early doors I guess and he may improve, but didn't look promising to me. 

I dont think hes placed since that game?

I wonder what's the betting at the bookies, Sam Szmodics comes off the bench, and nets the winner. Fingers crossed, hopefully not.

I went to the Bradford game (we should have won it 5-2 with the chances we had) like you say henriksson played badly in that one. Let's hope hes more to offer in future matches.

Weather is looking awful, let's hope there's no late cancellation again. I fancy a 1-1 draw with Gudjohnsen starting and netting on his way to 15 goals before January and a £10m move to Southampton

We've got a yellow weather warning in the Ewood area, for this coming weekend - whatever a 'yellow weather warning' entails.

It means it is going to piss-it down.

Let's hope it's not a Norwich omen, they beat us in the last home match.

It sounds like anybody hoping to carry a waterproof coat in their bag just in case is going to be out of luck given the new policy.

And don't you dare bring a bag of monster munch either - that'll be seized and you'll face a 3 year ban

Great isn’t it . It’s forecasted to piss down on Saturday. My grandson is coming on the train from Liverpool to meet up with me at the station in town. He’d like to bring a few things with him, like maybe a waterproof coat in his rucksack etc. Not everybody lives around the corner or can drive right to the ground. People coming from a fair way off by public transport need to be able to bring something with them.

Just another reason not to bother.

It's highly likely the match could be called off, a 70% chance of rain all morning, and afternoon on Saturday.

It's classed as a dangerous weapon these days, a waterproof coat, and a bag of monster munchies.

Its end of summer though. Grass is growing, water table isn't that high unlike winter. I'd be surprised if it flooded unless its absolute monsoon.

Let's hope so, I haven't seen a game since Norwich at home, with the international break.

What's the policy if it gets called off? Full refund or do you just get a ticket for the rearranged game?

[joey_big_nose]

I wonder if in this day and age the clubs should be able to move the game by a day if the weather looks truely horrific and give everyone a better chance of seeing it. Could be better to move it to Sunday especially with away fans travelling 8+ hours. But i guess a logistical nightmare rearranging staff,police etc.

[joey_big_nose]

One more question - can we buy on the day to see how the weather develops? Ive noticed the forecasts seem increasingly pessimistic in recent years and then it turns out a bit better.

I checked the website and it doesn't say https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/september/17/ticket-news--rovers-v-ipswich-town/

[KentExile]

Can anyone spot Tronstad here?

It might happen at a club that gives a shit about the fans.
