Cherry Blue

Don't think rules allow that.

Its all about safety to and from the ground as well. Not freezing but compact snow will cause safety concerns.

Shame.

Forecast is sleet & snow up to 3pm - massive snow fakes now. Does not look good for the game.

Sleet in Blackburn. Started with rain about 10am. Guess it depends on level of river. Higher the river and rain can't be properly drained away. Updated: snowing now.

Well done Dolan. Wharton's outstanding.

Struggling to get crosses over.

Samba, who got sent off today, has played 119 games for NF in Championship since Aug 2019. Their second keeper Horvath only has 1 Championship game since signing from Club Brugge in July 2021 and although he has played a few Champions League games in his career, he was second choice with Brugge.

Current top two Fulham & Bournemouth will go up, no doubt about it. Agree with Butty some good results today. Our aim is the top six so a win against WBA will be a massive step.

Loads of points to win yet but cant see us getting to playoffs after last two games. Teams have sust us out.

Forest edged it assisted by a poor referee. But again if we'd have started game as we started second half the result could have gone our way. Can only put that down to Mowbray's inability to motivate from the start. Looks like we are in for one of those Februarys.

As for Rothwell............did nothing.

Trouble is he's a defender and we aren't use to playing in opposition penalty area.

Shows have desperate we are for a striker. Started with fast-asleep centre forward Buckley and despite a poor half Mowbray continued. False position in league. We'll not get in playoffs either. Preparing myself for a bad February.

This performance shows why we won't be going up.

Giles putting the ball in where we need it but lack of quality players to finish.

Is Nyambe injured?

playing against 10

Buckley not at the game. Would have banged that one in normally but wasn't sharp enough or wasn't thinking. He's been booked so that will be on his mind. Need to take him off.

I'm furious too but the way they are set up it would be £3m plus add ons if the get to premiership.

Always difficult not knowing Rothwell as a person or being in the same room and hearing both sides of the conversation when TM's having his managerial chat, so we can't be certain he will knuckle down. Probably already been said but we don't want a Duffy situation. At the moment Rothwell's an unwanted distraction. He probably hasn't trained for a while, hasn't been with any other Rovers players and will be listening/thinking about others such as Duffy & Raya who left to premiership clubs. Just hope this gets sorted quickly and if he stays he does knuckle down or if he goes we get welcome replacements and not end-of-transfer-window casualties. In Tony we trust, we have to.

Rothwell's going for the money so let him go. TM saying he doesn't want fans getting on the wrong side of Rothwell but at the same time acknowledges this is football. Wish him well personally but he's damaged our team. Difficult to swallow. Need him to go quickly.

Yeah but money does the talking. Hope it's Newcastle and they throw silly money at Rovers.

Too late if his head's been turned by the big guns. Who would have thought that Brentford - if its true of cource - could tempt another player from us.

Exactly. If story has any legs there's more to it.
