Due to illness I have a spare adult ticket going for today's game. If anyone requires one at this late stage just message me

Talking to a couple of my Uddersfield mates last night and they thought Millwall were poor. I asked them how Shittu played and they said he was bad and at fault for one goal. Should be our best chance of 3 points

Benni spits his dummy out and we are all supposed to care. I don't think so!

I believe that Sam won't have any option after today. He would be stupid to put Pederson and Diouf ahead of Benni

Good point That culture has to apply at all levels within the Club, not just to players and managers. Has to come down from Board level. There will always be those who are not prepared to be part of that culture and they are best out of it. This applies to any organisation and to life generally

Just as long as we win on Wednesday!

Yeh and the more stick people like Jan give him, the longer it will take for his confidence to return. Hopefully Santa (Claus) will bring him some new shooting boots and all will be well.

However if he thinks he is bigger than the team and is not prepared to accept that he can't always play 90 minutes then we are better off without him. Don't get me wrong I hope he stays but this not the first time he's thrown his dummy out of his pram.

Not at all. What I and others are suggesting is that there must be an alternative to the left midfield position if MGP is out of form and maybe lacking confidence in front of goal. He is a quality player and an asset to the Club but no harm in trying different things and giving others a chance from time to time.

Is it time to push Warnock forward into left midfield and play Olsson at left back?

Personally I believe Bentley has made a mistake in pulling out of this tournament but he clearly feels strongly about not playing and has made a brave decision which he may come to regret. I suspect this all stems from the recall of Golden Boy Beckham who has effectively now blocked Bentley's immediate progression into the right midfield slot. Mclaren or any future manager (only a matter of time ) would be very foolish to hold it against Bentley and disregard him for the senior squad. Just as the fans should not hold it against MClaren for ditching Beckham. However the suits at the FA may have different views.

Apologies. Just answering a question. Didn't realise you were a Moderator now!

He took a lot of stick (What do you expect from the Dingles) but to be fair he also got a round of applause when he was substituted.

Sidwell, the free transfer from Reading, happens to be a terrific player. Wish we were signing him. Can't argue with Bellamy being a good replacement for Benni but Beattie??? If he does leave then I'm sure that Hughes will find an adequate replacement

IMO this is MCarthy stating he would like to play Champions League football again and not necessarily saying he is gonna leave. The Sun can put any kind of spin they want to around that statement. Lets wait and see what develops before we have a go at Benni.

Isn't it time to close this topic? FFS Dunny's a Rovers player whatever we all thought at the time and we shouldn't still be debating whether or not was a good signing. Any comment on his performance in matches should be in the specific match thread

All this fuss over a player who has given us solid service for 4/5 years. What do people expect? That he was going to end his playing days with Rovers? Get real. As for 60k per week. Thats not his valuation but someone else's and there's not a member of this board who would have turned down such an offer. But he's a West Ham player now and we move onwards and upwards

Yeh its great how so many Rovers fans know exactly what is going through his mind when he pulls on the shirt. Personally I don't blame him for getting his own back on the boo boys who started getting on his back as long ago as the Sheff utd game. Must have been great for him to feel that whatever he did for Rovers would be criticised. If there was a remote chance that he would change his mind about leaving Ewood I'm afraid that has probably entirely disappeared. Unless of course Rovers make him see out his contract.

Palace match for sure. Maybe if the home leg had finished 4-1 (Gayle penalty miss) instead of 3-1 it would have been different

I see you joined the board today. Funny how you are so quick to criticise what was a positive move by genuine caring fans to influence the direction of their club. If you care so much about your football club then you might want to suggest an alternative and not one which involves selling out to a Russian billionaire. PS I have nothing to do with BRISA

Am i right in thinking the Beckhams got engaged somewhere in the Ribble Valley. Maybe its a case of nostalgia and they now want another kid and name it Wimberley

I'm sure Mark Hughes is a bit more qualified than you to decide who should be playing. Lay off our players

Well, when I started this topic I thought it would just get buried in the old gate debate but thankfully mods it hasn't. After 6 pages of mostly sensible discussion about this particular match, I believe the realisation that Premiership and European football for Rovers may end some day, is the startling conclusion. Thats precisely why I bothered to make the trips to Salzburg and Krakow, having missed out on previous European ventures for various reasons, I was not going to miss out again this time. A short trip over the Pennines was nothing on a cold November night. The world of football is changing, illustrated by teams like Leeds, Wolves, Derby etc who are struggling to get back to the Premiership. What is the hope for us when, and I say WHEN, we drop out of the Premiership again. Don't wish to sound pessimistic but ALL Rovers fans need to question whether they will be happy to see Rovers playing League 1 or even League 2 football?

Apparently Tottenham didn't have a problem selling out at £40 a ticket

So all the missing Rovers fans thought "Ah! Boro and Bolton fans didn't bother with the UEFA cup so I won't eiher" Will they be bothered when we get to the Final? Too right they will. Tickets will be like gold dust and the town will shut down for the day. Your choice Rovers fans, but ask yourselves what you actually want from this Club
