With no disrespect, I've read nothing else but tickets comments. Its supposed to be football comments.

The onus will be on us tonight, which we're not good at.

This will be a far harder game than perhaps some expect, their crowd will be right up for it, so an early goal is crucial I think.

I won't be surprised with a draw.

Is that better? 🙂

Yes because yet again the absolute non league style running of this club has over shadowed the hard work on the pitch.

Don't shoot the messengers...

Dont know whats going on but 30 mins ago i could only get one ticket ,a family member as just sent me a message saying they have just purchased tickets as of a few mins ago so not sure if more have been released..

Guidance in the regs says the away club must sell tickets in tranches of 150, could it be anything to do with that?

This has to be a win tonight. Sheff W have a longer injury list than us and didn't have many players to start with! 

the middlesborough game was a hard slog,it will have taken a lot out of us,as we`ve a tiny squad i expect a drop off in performance tonight (not surprising as we can`t rotate) on the other hand,sheff wed are in a right state team wise,i think we`ll get a narrow victory in a horrible match,both sides tired and lacking in motivation

Looking at the seating that could be ,West upper row 9 had 3 available

I think that is highly unlikely, I would take 4 points from the next two games.

[BankEnd Rover]

Wednesday will battle, personally think we will loose this one sadly - Hope I'm wrong.

Let’s hope we have something to celebrate at 10pm…👍

[NeilInBristol]

Is the Ice Man out for a while?

 
hope he plays pickering again- possibly last game before being sold i imagine

Cantwell making the famous 50th appearance ? Or is he “injured “(until sold)

Apologies for my scepticism !!

0-1 rovers tonight

How did Henriksson do against Boro? 

Its so frustrating that any injuries we get seem to be weeks and weeks out rather than the odd knock for a game. 

Where has Tyjon gone? Has reality now hit that hes not as good as was made out to be over summer.

i don`t think he`ll commit to a contract,hence val is not using him,considering pratt,litherland etc are now established in the squad it can only be that reason

Tyjon is still as good as was made out, but he was never ready for first-team football. He will probably get a move to a premier U21s team.

Not nice to see that Oliver Langford will officiate this match. He was shocking against Ipswich just one month ago.

if anyone is having a bet then i suggest it`s on the cards market,langford is a complete anomaly,he`s a terrible ref,the worst of a very bad bunch imo

Hope you all enjoyed it. 

lets bring those 3 points back from Hillsborough. COYB! 🔵⚪

Can only see Baradji coming in for Morishita and maybe Pickering for Hedges being our only changes tonight.

He did a decent job up there with Ohashi. He press well, and almost scored his first goal

[philipl]

Why do the words piss-up and brewery seem inextricably linked to Blackburn and Rovers?

[Gav]

So it starts, Old Horns Pub Bradfield, great views in summer if you’re passing.

Messy from here on in.

He's talented on the ball and looked good technically against Boro.

He just doesn't pick up the right positions or influence games at the moment though. Compare him to Cantwell who always seems to find space and dictate play. That's what he has to aspire to be like as he's definitely got talent.

Henriksson definitely has something, unlike De Neve and Tavares who are just useless...I'll be giving him abit more time.

Not seen that yet personally.

Just boshed a hot pork sandwich, stuffing and crackling - A Sheffield institution, marvellous.

I thought a greasy chip butty was the Sheffield institution.
