Rev - based on current COVID position - what would your suggestion be for a ST offer ? I am genuinely interested - because I really struggle to think how they could structure it with everything so up in the air. The only thing I can think is one structured similar to the end of the season - i.e. ground closed to fans you get an iFollow pass for that match. Ground open - you are free to attend - but probably with social distancing (though they could be imaginative with family/friend bubbles - but that would take a bit of IT planning.). That would probably take some planning with both the FL and iFollow (they may even be looking into alternatives to iFollow) Obviously that wouldn't suit those fans that can't (for whatever reason) get access to iFollow. For existing ST holders in that position - you could offer a season ticket for 10 matches - if we had more than 10 matches with fans in attendance - they would get priority for their own seat and at a reduced price. With regard budget - did Rovers not ask about a temporary half to fair play rules - maybe they are waiting on this ? I would imagine (with our current loss in revenue) we will surely break FFP rules this season without some form of player sale or relaxation of the rules.. With regard refunds - though everyone's financial circumstances are different - even before the iFollow offer, getting a refund never really crossed my mind. I suppose it depends on perspective - I see my ST paying for ground staff etc - not in anyway lining the pockets of our owners etc.

Totally agree - after his match against Bristol I expected a dip to his more usual form - but though not as involved, thought he had a reasonable match against Wigan. He desperately needs to score to keep his new found confidence going - and to be honest his performances have deserved it. My only concern is that he tends to drift deep at times (when he should be running into the box) - and doesn't seem to have that natural eye for goal like Dack. Fingers crossed for tonight - with so many matches in such a short space of time - this is a match we really need to win to keep the last few matches of the season interesting.

BTW - apart from not being able to go - was great to have some friends round (with appropriate social distancing enforced) to enjoy football - wow didn't realise how much I had missed it.

One of the few games where I could actually see why we gambled £7m on him - lets hope it continues.

Given their league position I originally thought this a winnable fixture. However - when you look at their home form this is an excellent win. Not getting giddy yet - result against Brentford and I might. At the moment it would appear a certain amount of luck is on our side - with injuries forcing a change in style of play that is paying off at the moment.

Think you could be right - seemed to be the formation we finished with midweek

Though only a cameo - best we have seen from Brereton. He had amazing support from BE - but did wonder how much of that was ironic ?. Good noise at times (esp second half) considering weather and turn out. Hull were average at best - but thought we put in a good performance. Though Armstrong got MOM - have to say Travis not far behind - and is getting better with each match.

If he isn't going to sign players that will immediately challenge for the first team - I wouldn't bother. Would much prefer to see some youngsters given the opportunity.

Just a shame they caused the mess in the first place. But credit where it is due - I thought they would have pulled the plug years ago.

Anyone else think our lack of money is down to the Dack injury ? Selling him was our best chance of not coming foul of FFP - we are now in a financial hole with our only sellable asset being Lenihan.

We did well to beat 12 men. They looked a decent team - with the referee one of their better players

Wow - what an outburst. During TM's time as manager - they bank rolled the biggest League 1 budget - and given him £12m to spend on two strikers - as well as continuing to pay the wages. They are responsible for our demise - however we only need to look to Bolton to see where we could easily be.

To be fair to them - they have backed TM

Type of performance that gets managers sacked. The win didn't cover up the inadequacies in the team - so many poor insipid performances - it was like half the team didn't turn up. Gallagher out wide - could see why at first - but when they got used to the long diagonal why persist ☹ - put the poor lad central. Special mention for Armstrong who was awful - how can somebody be caught off side so many times ? Final mention for TM - very grateful for everything he has done for the club - but this team is massively under achieving - and the buck has to stop somewhere.

Next two games will show our credentials - need 4 points really. If we got 4 points - knowing Rovers we would draw with Luton and then beat Forest. Worryingly think we are capable of 6 points - but this is Rovers - hence why would be very happy with 4 points

Slight knock/injury ? (don't know - but would be a possible reason)

I thought he had played reasonably well over last few matches ?

I understand where you are coming from - but (if is as good as people say) you sometimes have to just take opportunities as they present themselves. Though I think TM has had excellent backing from the owners - it is still obvious that we can't cherry pick players as we did in Kennys golden era. In terms of planning - he wants to play a better passing game. He has tried Buckley to help that - presumably Holtby is seen as the playmaker we have been missing for a long time.

Hmmm ... Warhurst started as a centre half - then converted to striker - the Kenny master stroke to convert to midfield. Chris Sutton started centre back. So converting players from other positions can work out - and for the previous 3 games both players got good reviews.

Alternatively they could sell all our best players, parts of Brockhall, parts of Ewood - run a shadow club after getting back as much of their money as possible. Seriously I do wonder when our ever expanding debt will end. But would fans want us to sell Dack to pay off part of the debt ? (though he will probably have to be sold for FFP reasons)

Be careful what you wish for. A bit like those fans that want Venkys to go - and leave us like Bury or Bolton.

The old axis of power to be returned - with Smallwood and Evans. I wouldn't risk any of Saturday's starters - but is opportunity for Chapman, Brereton, Nyambe, Rothwell and Buckley to show us what they can do.

Whether the right thing or not - will make a prediction that Williams will move to left back - with Tosin at centre. Not seen Cardiff play for a while - but if they are a typical Warnock side - it would make sense. For most other teams (with Cunningham out) - would play Downing at LB to get Rothwell in the team.

He already mentioned needing Tosin height for Cardiff - so expect either three at back or Williams at left back

A word of warning - though we deserved to win - the last two wins have all been about fine margins - which could easily go against is in the next match. In the same way the fine margins went against us in the previous two matches. Encouraging signs - but let's be realistic.
