A point which many of us have to keep pointing out on here because it's just become an accepted rumour that Wednesday charged us £40+ last year.

Mr Waggot has gambled you would be top 6 and bring 4000+ and he can squeeze every last coin out of you that he can. He's also doubling the price of under 11 tickets tomorrow in case any little kiddies are wanting to watch the firework display behind the riverside after the match.  

I'm hoping the ghost of Christmas past and co. visit him this year.

Sad isn't it. 

Ideally we'd have brought about 1k but cos we've accepted the home prices now we've sold 2.7k, at 25 quid would we have sold many more, doubtful so Waggott will feel justified. 

We didn't charge you that though Ian, I'd accept reciprocal pricing but banging 7 quid on top is a bit daft.

Honest appraisal, first twenty we should have been out of sight but our goal did come from an error however we hit the woodwork and a couple of decent blocks kept it tight.

Second half you came out looking dangerous however switched off from a set piece and Nuhiu made it a little more comfy.

Poor defending and nice move reduced the arrears but again you didn't deal with a simple ball and it's 3-1. Raya at fault for fourth then another well worked goal and at 4-2 more pressure, the blazing miss early in stoppage killed your remote chance.

Fair play to the 800 or so, quite vocal at times.

Their proper good at defending crosses and set pieces with a good structured back line but slow. In other words. They've not conceded in 7/8 games.

 

It's like asking if Rovers have played well recently even though the stats say we only had 1 point from 20+ before the Wigan game.

We conceded at Derby last week

He's just gone back to basics but we aren't rigid in playing 4-4-2 it depends on who's available, we still have 10 players out injured.

You're conviently forgetting as a club we've spent/committed £10m NET since last summer. Practically unheard of in the Championship. The farm has already been bet, which nobody was arguing for anyway. People, quite rightly, were instead wondering why Mowbray didn't strengthen when we were in a superb position. Its not like our porous defence was new to him. 

He was complacent and the club has spent the last 6 weeks paying for it. 

Bet the farm FFS! You mean like Preston did. Oh hang on, they just made a few good additions in January from the lower leagues relatively cheaply and are now reaping the rewards. 

Sadly fella the Championship has become the league where £10m net spends are now the norm. When Villa and the Jawdees came down a couple of years ago they just decimated the transfer market cos they had parachute payments, average players moved for 8 figure fees and wages rose, other clubs had to compete and now we see the effects biting. 

Players previously 3-4m are going for 4 times that but then the EFL want FFP. Stoke have done it this year and no doubt the club's coming down will do the same.

I think it’s usually one or the other, but Fletcher been 50/50 (pulled out of Scotland squad, has Mulgrew yet btw?)

 

Nuhiu is shite, but Fletcher is a good aerial outlet.

 

If either of them are playing though and they work the long ball and set pieces well - I’ll be watching through my hands...

 

At least it’s not likely to be Mulgrew and Rolls Royce there cowering.

 

Luckily Bruce isn’t known for his research, so may not have worked that out - he focuses more on his own side.

 

 

 

Reed/Travis buzzing around the second ball and Nyambe clearing up the flick ons should see us near enough right in open play if we go with the same team.

 

Just don’t give away any fouls.

At all.

Both Fletcher and Nuhiu started at Bolton due to conditions and the fact we have just three for strikers, expect that to continue tomorrow.

We need to watch Dack and not give Mulgrew any dead ball situations around the box given his delivery and potency.

Different animal to what you faced in December, our best goalkeeper is playing and Hutchinson is back, both deemed surplus to requirements under our previous manager.

The game at yours was the straw which broke the supporters back with the manager, he cause Forestieri to get injured and left him on.

Safe trip over to all.
