We are currently on a run of 1 win in 8 from away games - the one win being last time out in what was a relatively poor performance until the last 10 minutes. If we are to have serious chances of making the top 6 then that obviously needs to improve. There's only Norwich left to play away who are above us in the league, but that is only relevant if we start picking up wins away from home against the lower teams - hopefully starting Saturday.

Tony had a dream. To build a football team. We had no money cos we signed Brereton for loads. Mulgrew at the back ...........

Chapman should really be fit to start making cameos by the end of Feb unless we've signed him with an injury.

I completely agree although it's disappointing we couldn't strengthen the squad. All I'm saying is that after those quotes, and the run we have been on, it was realistic to expect that this week we might actually have brought in some players who would be pushing to start . Personally I think the breakthrough of Travis has been the catalyst to our recent form and he's been like a new signing since the turn of the year.

"There’s some [money] left, but that isn’t to say that there is a further opportunity for the owners, and it would be their decision, to agree a further budget.” “If we are, come January, still in touch with the top six and we’re still competitive, they’ll say ‘Tony, what do you want? If I think we need him or him, they’ll say go for it Tony" Based on the above quotes from November, then yes, we really expected we might actually have spent some money and brought in someone.

5 games on loan doesn't give them true dingle status. However 41 goals in 82 appearances whilst becoming a cult hero over there does lift Brickie Charlie into Dingle status. I'd still have him in on loan mind you.

My mate, a former season ticket holder, has now been to 4 games this season :- Hull when he got offered a adult free ticket and then bought one for his child. Birmingham when it was -7 and he got offered a free adult ticket and then bought one for his child. Rotherham when he got offered a free ticket and then bought one for his child. Newcastle at £10 when he came with me. Make of that what you will. He can't be unique amongst the ex-season ticket holders.

If Boro get through against Newport in their FA Cup replay, I presume our home game on the 17th will be postponed.

The referee determined there was a foul after the ball was dead though so all your scenarios don't matter. In himdsight, the ref should have give a corner and let VAR check the penalty. That may be the way forward but I fear that you will end with all challenges in the box leading to playing on until the video is checked. Refs will duck making decisions. And no, I don't want VAR to cook my dinner. Just to give a simple corner. Wednesday have been penalised because the ref made a bad call. I do agree that I'd love to know why Wednesday didn't contest it.

It may well be the correct call by the ever changing rules of VAR, but the fact is that using VAR ultimately led to the wrong decision. Therefore VAR hasn't 'done its job' as people keep saying.

I think VAR can only give penalties. Therefore, as the ref never gave the corner, VAR can't give the corner, which is where I'm saying it hasn't worked correctly. If we have VAR then surely we should be ending up with the correct outcome. Similar happened on Thursday night with the Hazard penalty incident.

When the referee blew his whistle the ball was out of play.

How has it worked if the wrong decision is given at the end? It's a corner to Sheffield Wednesday but the ref incorrectly gives a penalty. VAR overrules the ref and its suddenly an uncontested drop ball. Wednesdays next touch is kicking off 1-0 behind. VAR has surely to give the correct decision which was corner.

So Wednesday should have had either a penalty or a corner. The ref gives the penalty but VAR overruled. As it is referred to VAR, the game is restarted as an uncontested drop ball (instead of the corner) from which chelsea go straight down the other end and score.

Forgot about that horror. That's been erased from my memory banks. Whilst I don't view Bolton in the Burney / Preston rivalry bracket, I sat next to a Bolton fan at work around then and met him before and after the game. Horrible.

Not quite. They delayed the kick off with quite a few of them. Someone obviously turned up late and joined in at the 85th minute. As for J-Lowe, it wasn't his worst game last night to be fair. Ran around a lot, give it a right good go.

BEST Rovers 4 Derby 2 play offs 92 Rovers 2 Man U 0 in 1994 Rovers 1 Newcastle 0 VE day Rovers 2 Spuds 1 Worthy Cup Burnley 0 Rovers 2 in 2000 WORST Palace Play offs even though I only listened on the radio. Losing to Sheffield Utd on penalties in 93 Rovers 1 Burnley 2 in 2014 The above 3 I felt pretty sick about after the game, probably because I saw none of them coming. Other games are just disappointing. Takes a lot to make me really feel gutted by football now.

Shearer against Leeds at Ewood in 95 when we played the entire game with 10 men after Flowers had been sent off. Scored a penalty and then played the entire game isolated upfront on his own but still caused havoc. Best display of hold up centre forward play you could ever see. Worst Is a lot more difficult because displays like Chris Browns get easily forgotten.

What the club should have done is contacted the lad directly. To get two security guys to pull him up 60 minutes into a game and threaten him is a bit harsh. They could have easily contacted him between games.

If he was broadcasting live that's one thing but he puts poorly shot mobile phone highlights up YouTube hours after the games. It doesn't affect the club or the broadcasters ability to sell their product at all. I predict a mobile phone surcharge next year. £3 per match to allow you to take your phone out of your pockets. If you want to make any phone calls or text messages you can send them before the game. Some won't see the problem ?

Be careful what you say. Spies everywhere. https://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/35295/we-should-simply-not-be-worrying-about-playing-ipswich-at-home--notes-for-blackburn-rovers

But some people decide on the day if they are going to go or not. My dad did that for the last 15 years he was alive. He wasn't the most well bloke but didnt live too far away, so if it was raining or he didnt feel well he wouldn't go. If it was a nice day and he felt OK he would. My brother now adopts the same policy but without the health issues. I'm sure they are not the only ones. Neither of them would not go because of the £3 surcharge , but it is unfair they would have to pay it for no reason whilst others don't. It doesn't affect me, you or many others on here. However I'm worried the club is taking money off fans for no reason and with no justification.

Sheffield Wednesday owners statement. Interesting. https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2019/january/dejphon-chansiri-statement/

So what's the purpose of the surcharge then? If they put £2 on a replica shirt on match day would you find that reasonable?

It doesn't affect me one bit as I've got a season ticket. However it affects one of my mates and I've yet to hear one good reason why it's implemented. The doubling of the cost did actually lose them one sale last night but if it was a reciprocal agreement with NUFC then that explains that (as illogical as it it)
