v Sheffield Wednesday (a) - 29/12/2025

[RevidgeBlue]

Wednesday have two draws and three defeats from the last five.

Nothing less than three points is acceptable tonight.

A defeat would be unthinkable.

[aletheia]

Think we will win. Cue certain posts along the lines of 'crisis, what crisis?'

I'm wondering what it will take for Pasha to return.

Well , I hope you are right 🙏

This is all about our mentality and set up. Need high energy and press from the start and to quieten their crowd. 

If we let them get their tails up we are inviting trouble.

Ordinarily there would be 3,000+ travelling Rovers fans for this game so those who are there are going to have to make twice as much noise!

Messy from here on in.

 

Did you not get a drink for anyone else?

Looks a salty pizza, might 3 more pints tempt you?

Have they run out of hake with a hint of fennel?

Club just punishing him dragging him to Sheffield for no reason.

[Paul Mellelieu]

What’s the Gueye situation?

Good to see Baradji starting and Cantwell (49 League games) starts!

it does feel that way, and the continued complete lack of a striker on the bench is baffling, especially coupled with 2 wingers when we don't play them.

Whatever the reason for leaving out Tyjon, why not put Joseph on the bench?

I wish that was a statement, rather than a question.

As far as we know he's in India, current status unclear.

[StHelensRover]

Fingers crossed he's doing something he should have done years ago, making it clear that these owners need an exit strategy because this situation will never be reconciled. 

I'm in fantasy land, he's probably telling them what a great season we're having and how much money he's saving them.
