Started nervously but for a good half hour in second half we played better football. I like Rothwell, brilliant controlled run and shot would have gone in on another day. Shame Graham didn't see Dack with an open goal begging. Agree, Smallwood not at this level.

It's a risky choice but I'd go for Brereton. Gallagher was ok here but wasn't outstanding at MKD or Birmingham hence no one has signed him yet and he's 22 (i think) where as Brereton is 19.. Also my thoughts are skewed with something Nixon said last night - we don't know if its true - about him being happy to sit around on £25k a week .We don't want any like that at our club.

Has anyone at Ewood made a comment yet?

I'm glad they didn't accept £5m after £4m wasn't enough. It does suggest panic but that kind of cash for a 19 year old ?? Who made that late decision?? Hard to take.

TM knows Gallagher better than anyone. If he's on his list we need him.

or maybe a couple of players enjoying the tease.

Poor subs according to big mick.

Currently top of the league!

Why no official announcement about Armstrong signing?

Mines come this morning COYB

Not played since Nov'16.

Too risky to bring someone unknown in (to rest of team) & not match-fit or to the standard of fitness TM needs. We go to Ipswich with what we have.

Not got mine - yet ☹️

Where will Rovers finish this season? : 14th Player of the Year : Lenihan Young Player of the Year: Travis Top Goalscorer: Mulgrew Championship Promoted : WBA, Villa & Stoke Championship Relegated : Rotherham, Birmingham & Wigan Dark Horse : Leeds Hey....Stranger things have happened: Burnley relegated after points deduction for not turning up to premiership fixture Miscellaneous : Rovers in FA Cup final

Looks better than the front.

Not read this thread so don't know if said but it appears that whoever made the colour decision didn't consult with local fan base.

Price rIse Is bad. Will miss the street parking such as at Bury and Rochdale for example when our support was massive In relation to home support. Its step up we've been there before and If we get It right at pitch level our away support will be better than we think. coyb

Good to be back. Looking at the list about half are within a couple of hours driving distance for me. Championship 2018-19 Aston Villa Birmingham City Blackburn Rovers Bolton Wanderers Brentford Bristol City Derby County Hull City Ipswich Town Leeds United Middlesbrough Millwall Norwich City Nottingham Forest Preston North End Queens Park Rangers Reading Rotherham United Sheffield United Sheffield Wednesday Stoke City Swansea City West Bromwich Albion Wigan Athletic Fixtures out 9am Thursday 21st June.

Whose he with?

We've got to understand that Rovers is also a business with football regulations and rightly or wrongly its up to the CEO to raise as much income as possible taking all things into account. Its his judgement. Having said that I know exactly how I feel when a cost goes up above the normal inflation rate especially when kids are involved. COYB - we are going uP

Sunderland will need a manager who knows league one. Latest odds: Jaap Stam 3/1 Steve McClaren 9/2 Uwe Rosler 6/1 Michael Appleton 8/1 Mark Warburton 12/1 Mick McCarthy 12/1 Ally McCoist 14/1 Craig Shakespeare 14/1 Hannes Wolf 16/1 Roy Keane 16/1 Kenny Jackett 18/1

Ben Marshall stretchered off against Middlesbrough.

It just doesn't happen to us then as Brentford score in 4th minute of added on time. Fulham 1 Brentford 1

Over the years reaction of both crowd & players have changed when the ball hits back of the net. Be it a generous clap and hand shake in the early days, a mad jump/push/leap about on the terraces that found you standing next to someone you didn't know in 80's or an almost copy-write player celebration to some brilliant finishes. So what reaction will VAR bring? A hush and shake of the head as the referee presses his index finger to his right ear.............delay............GOAL!!!!!!! The games changing boys & girls, we need to get back to the premiership.
