It’s not really a grudge match as the decision to abandon was correct and nothing to do with Ipswich. The decision to not award a result was also nothing to do with Ipswich.

5:35 in on here. Hedges goes into him and pushes him off it with his arm. He tries to hook the ball but it carries on rolling unaltered so he doesn’t touch it. If Yuki is clean through and a defender does that from behind your screaming for a penalty. Its a foul. It’s certainly not soft enough for Ismael to be whinging about it as the headline on the Rovers website calling it a disgrace.

Just make it a tenner, and when you email the advertising mail out to your customer database just advertise it as “tell your friends”. That way i might tell 3 people at work who all go for a tenner, rather than the one I could bring with the current offer. And I give that about 20 seconds thought.

The Wrexham game, they know people give tickets as presents. So it’s a cynical Christmas cash grab.

We all said this during the summer. And yet you kept predicting a top-6 finish, so you clearly didn't think it was "always likely". You foolishly believed that some of these dire signings from relegated European clubs would improve the squad and hence the finishing position. But instead of holding your hand up and saying "yeah I was wrong", you are now switching your story.

He played Hedges at left Centre back instead of Pickering, who had done it before admirably. That was nothing to do with ‘the system’.

But he did come out and say he was happy with the squad and it was an improvement on last year. His interviews regarding Travis and the quotes on Gueye were a disgrace in public. And he likes an excuse after a defeat. He’s also as complicit as Rudy with the transfer policy.

Fuck off Ismael

In the second half Wrexham had 15 shots and an XG of 1.74. So the other teams they’ve played must have been really shit. Gallagher and Bayes also apparently thought this was offside. In all honesty we did play really well until he took Gudjohnsen, Ohashi and Morishita off. Then we got absolutely pummelled. And it happens almost every time we make subs in games.

Is Tyjon injured or not dancing to Rudy’s tune?

It was a soft free kick but you know what the linesman has seen and why he has give it. And it’s nowhere near offside

But 3 of the 4 subs were our main summer signings who cost us actual money. And all of the starters who were missing were in our squad last year. Which tells you our summer recruitment was fucking awful. The 4th sub was Gueye who you seem to over-rate.

Agree. We know the squad is poor. That’s why our average players cant make the most of the good opportunities we make. But every time we make subs we get worse. Before the two Japanese lads went off we were creating chances still. After they went off it was just absolute backs to the wall.

Another poster mentioned it above, but from side on in the JW upper you could see Gudjohnsen got a massive shove in the back just as he went to hit the first one. It's not really noticeable on the highlights.

How to sell more tickets? I'd do a special raffle. If you're light turns Purple when you go through the turnstile you win and get to replace De Neve and Tavares on the bench.

I feel the same. Midweeks are always a rush to get back from work, get changed and get down to Ewood. I went on Tuesday, maybe a knock on effect of enjoying Deepdale so much. I simply can't be arsed with the rushing around next week, especially as I can't easily get my mate's ticket (who never makes midweeks) to bring a friend any more. The thing is, whilst its not massively hurting them in the pocket, the club know the true attendance figure from Wednesday evening. And they must know that if people who have paid for tickets aren't even bothering to attend, how the hell can they get other people to buy tickets.

Quite simply, it’s not as easy as putting on school buses.

If a family or group of 3 want to go, do they need 3 season ticket holder mates? Just hassle. Why not just make it a tenner. Oh yeah, that would stop us taking £23 off the Ipswich fans. Also, if you are a committed rovers fan who attended the original game for full price (£30), then took up the offer of a half price ticket for this (£12.50), you still pay more than someone who now uses this offer pays?

If Tronstadt didn’t play again this season we would go down easily. It’s as bad a midfield as I’ve ever seen without him.

He was woeful. I did wonder if Ismael had been told he had to bring him back in. You can’t increase asset value and all that shit if they don’t feature.

Doesn't stop him being "integrated into the squad". He was training with the side from the international break. If you'd said he lacks match fitness that's different, but from the way he's been talked about he should be playing 60 minutes and coming off rather than letting TGH (who is an honest lad) huff and puff for most of the game.

How do clubs ever sign players in January transfer windows who then go straight into starting line-ups then? He's been around the squad all season. Surely he understands the system. If he's significantly better than TGH and Montgomery then he's worth starting for the improvement in quality.

I feel the key is to get Pasha out. He's been the constant running the show for 15 years. If he's gone they need to find a replacement. They won't trust employing competent people in a proper process so they might think "Sack it, lets get shut now". He's a stubborn, shadowy swine but for 14 years he's had an easy ride externally.

Considering Baradji was our stellar, number one Trav-busting target and he's now featured in a couple of games, surely he starts this game with the injuries we have. We will then see if he's anywhere near the hype the club tried to build around him. Or if he's a Sidnei.
