It’s been touched on but not really given the due credit. There were a number of times yesterday we saw Weiman and McFadz talking to players throughout the game, and especially in the breaks. What made me take note of this was the number of times Weiman (occasionally Hedges) went and chatted for a good few seconds with Beck, and McFadz chatting with Dolan and Carter at a few points. I think this is the leadership Eustace wanted from them and I feel it showed in their performances. Credit to Eustace for keeping McFadz, and bringing in Weiman and Batth. A young team needs that. I got the feeling it was why Mowbray was so deal to keep Graham and Mulgrew for our L1 season, and brought in Whittingham.

Give them half the upper tier, it’s all they deserve.

I’ll be going 🙂

So ‘playing through the lines’ is ‘passing’?

I’m pretty sure that the PT nature of Macclesfield means he is allowed to continue playing academy footy for Rovers.

I don’t even know what that means. What lines?

It’d be domestic abuse if I did that!

Hope we go full shithousery at Ewood. Get Dunny in to do the HT draw and take a penalty at the Darwen End.

@arbitro Steward’s enquiry on the disallowed goal please?

Already looking forward to the first week of Jan! This team will be even more forged together, siege mentality at Ewood, and Revenge of the Mac!

Andi Weiman smashed it in, smashed it in, smashed it in. Andi Weiman smashed it in! He hates Burnley!

A superb draw with 10-men. Well done boys.

Late challenge by Carter = booking. Studs down the back of a leg, no booking.

Pears is a coward, should’ve come out for that

I’d be putting Ohashi on for Dolan, possibly ACD for Hedges.

How is that a booking for Trav?!

Could the ref not have played advantage there for Dolan to score?

Fucking superb goal. Like Cole vs Liverpool.

Nice bit of shithousery from Trav.

Hyam can fuck off

Is this ‘English’ a centre back we’re after?

I’m terrified 😂

Irrelevant. Even McGuire and Brierly had pics done.

Solid penalty and FK taker. Only one goal from open play from inside the box, the other 10 from outside the box. I think he might actually displace Trav quite quickly (and he’s captain material too).

That got sung for Billy Sharp in the US. It’s as big a missed chanting opportunity as ‘Take us home, Jordan Rhodes’ was for us.
