Mercer Posted Friday at 13:17 Posted Friday at 13:17 Difficult to call. Yes, Owls almost certainly doomed to relegation, however, their hated owner has gone and there is a new found optimism - couple that with the backing of 5 thousands fans and this game is undoubtedly going to be difficult. If I had to make a call then it would be for another Rovers' home loss. 1 Quote
Tomphil2 Posted Friday at 13:18 Posted Friday at 13:18 To Wednesday this is a free hit, day out for the fans and best chance of an away win all season given our record. No pressure on them whatsoever. 2 Quote
London blue Posted Friday at 13:18 Posted Friday at 13:18 A real shame for Hedges as his performances have been very good. The change to wing back suits him. De Neve will start, I'm sure. I'm now 20% less confident of winning 3 Quote

Elrovers Posted Friday at 13:25 Author Posted Friday at 13:25 First tronstad out for two weeks, now hedges. One comes and one goes. Can never catch a break can we. Quote

Its that point in the season where every team will keep picking up injuries. Ours are only amplified by having injury prone players in some cases, and because we are overreliant on too small a pool of players because the alternatives are so bad. Quote

joey_big_nose Posted Friday at 13:47 Posted Friday at 13:47 (edited) With Hedges out I wonder if its better to back to 4231 and give one of our strikers a rest? Pears Alebiouso. Miller. McLoughlin. Riberio TGH. Forshaw Mori. Cantwell. De Neve Gudjonsen Edited Friday at 13:48 by joey_big_nose 1 Quote

Pears Alebiouso. Miller. McLoughlin. Riberio TGH. Forshaw Mori. Cantwell. De Neve Gudjonsen We are horrible with a back four. Miller is not an out and out centre half. He likes to drive up the field a bit with the ball. It’ll be the same but de neve in for hedges unfortunately Quote

They normally say "knee", "ankle" etc, this one just seems to be defined as "an injury", which seems rather nebulous Quote

There's enough about our first 11 and recent performances to suggest things are going to pick up soon, IMO. A nostalgic look back on this fixture from 1997. 20 minute highlights: Missed this game due to car breaking down. Hadn't realised how naught Gallacher's tackle on Carbone was prior to the sending off. Quote

He's no stranger to the treatment room either tbf but the reduction in quality of the squad now has us bemoaning the loss of Ryan Hedges. De Neve will start in his place 100% 1 Quote

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted Friday at 16:12 Posted Friday at 16:12 I’d stick with the 5 at the back, which has served us pretty well given the amount of players we have had out recently. When Pickering came to Rovers his “ highlight “ video showed him almost exclusively operating as a wing back. I’d give him I go, or Ribeiro. De Neve ? Nah, not again. Quote

Crikey… Horrific at the moment. Heavy rain and very strong winds. The forecast I saw for tomorrow was better. Light rain all morning up until about 4p.m. then heavier rain. With winds half the strength of currently. So you'd expect it to be ok but who knows with this lot. Isn't it ludicrous that we have to be on pins every time there's a bit of rain. When's this drainage sleeve getting done? 1 Quote
... Posted Friday at 17:08 Posted Friday at 17:08 No way this game is on tomorrow its properly coming down now. Game will be off I'll bet 1 Quote
