Any idea what happens in the hour between the games yet? Have we managed to muster XI "legends" yet?

So the historical kits website had access to the 1905 information which stated what the 1875 minutes state (there's no evidence that this decision wasn't changed at a later meeting or before the first game. We will never know how much information in those original minutes ever came to fruition). Based on this Historical Kits have created a mock up kit with no access to the size of the Maltese Cross, nor the shade of Blue and put it on their website. And the club have taken that as gospel and recreated it? Anyone with half a brain would chose the second one from the list if you wanted the cross on a historical Rovers shirt. Or find the earliest photographic evidence available of any rovers shirt and recreate that one.

The fans forum was fine when they could talk about pies and stuff whilst the other fan consultation meetings were happening independently . But now they only hold the FF, its makeup doesn’t appear to cover point 128.1.2 above.

My problem with Hedges was when I thought we were close to a squad capable of top 6, I felt Hedges was one of the players who we should have been able to replace and improve upon. He was one of the weaker links when he started. Now I feel we have a squad that should be bottom half, Hedges becomes a valuable cog. He's one of the few proven Championship players we have. At no time has he been as useless as some would have you believe, although if you'd have asked me my opinion on the train back from Preston a couple of years ago I'd have given you a different comment ! I think some people gave up with him that night.

Armstrong left Rovers, has made 83 Premier League appearances and also scored a winning Wembley goal in a play off final to get promoted. He’s probably maxed out what he could realistically achieve in his career.

We are 4 days off and they still haven't announced 11 players for the legends team. At this rate if Danny Batth doesn't get on in the main game, they'll probably ask him to play in it. Even the names announced are lacking in real star-quality. Also, if the "legends" game kicks off 45 to 60 minutes after the final whistle, what are they planning to fill the gap? They are opening the bars, but you still can't take alcohol to your seats during the 45 to 60 mins gap.

Yeah the Polo shirt is nice. I meant the white Maltese Cross thing being legit. I can't see that officially listed yet. It's like a long-sleeved pyjama top. And yet it appears to be so.

It's a zillion times better than that Maltese Cross monstrosity. That can't be legit surely.

Ok squad player if salary is low enough. Shouldn’t be starting.

Southampton sack Still.

Depends what injuries we get. Tronstadt, Alebiosu, Toth would all need replacing if they were out for a significant period. We also may need a centre half as I feel McLaughlin and Miller need Carter or Wharton in there. As for the rest, the vast majority should be upgradable but we won’t do that.

Because XG is absolute nonsense.

I mean, the XG of that chance Toth saved should have been 0.9 for them alone.

Excellent result. Let’s hope the rest of the afternoon is as Eze.

To be fair he did pretty well from a poor ball to him. Just got too greedy at the end.
