Quarter finals on 9th and 10th and we return against Preston on the 10th. Anyone who was in a squad who got to the semi finals would miss the following weekend too.

Yeah sorry. I get you now. I misunderstood the ‘away ticket situation should have been the first phase’

No. See above.

Except that season ticket holder attends 23 games a season and pays BRFC to attend every one of those games. Wheres Cockney Bob attends 5 or 6 games and contributes nothing to Rovers as the cash goes to the away club.

They could put one on during the opening ceremony even.

I’ve no issue in 1875 club members getting first dibs. I find it strange, however, that they split the 1875 club phasing into two parts, those with away games and those without games, when everyone was guaranteed a ticket. However 1875+ST having priority was what was announced, and that is what has happened. Fair enough. However when there is only a couple of hundred left in phase 3 today, the ‘fair’ way to proceed would be to go to season ticket holders with away games. The online system can easily do it as strangely they did it for phase 1 (which wasn’t what was advertised at the start of the season). I don’t think anyone can really argue that that wouldn’t have been the fairest way for this next phase.

They should get priority over people that don't go away.

I'm going but expect to lose based on most of our away performances. However it's not unfeasible for us to get a result. I'm going to just enjoy the day. If we've lost 3-1 I'll be annoyed but like any other game. However the pressure / anger / fear of losing to Burnley was released when you finally won one. Having said that, if it's a shitty referee decision, or if we self destruct in the last minute I'll be fuming.

Have the bars been serving alcohol on the ground for previous visits?

Do you think it's right that someone who hasn't been to an away game for 5 years, is in the same priority group as someone who regularly attends away game every year? This morning should have been for ST holders with X away games this season. That's what it should have been in order to be fair. That's what else the club "could have done". Yes I know that's not what they prescribed or advertised, and that's what they said at the start of the season, but that is where they messed up.

Into Phase 3 now. Season ticket holders. Relatively painless. edit - although they've gone instantly.

Nah they don’t go live till 2pm mate. Have a lie in, enjoy your breakfast. Have a late lunch. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Same to everyone else reading this 😝😝😝

Yes he was beaten in the air but Hyam was clumsy and off balance in his attempted clearance, and that for me was the bigger error of the two. He shouldn't be off-guard that his inexperienced 17yo centre back partner gets out jumped by an established 6ft+ championship target man. He should anticipate that. Am I slagging Hyam off. No. He just made a mistake for the goal. He's been outstanding since he signed. Phillips made the kind of error many defenders will against people like Jutkiewitz in this league.

Plus most Leeds fans never wanted Bielsa out in the first place.

What are the chances of Kaminski being in the Belgium squad and missing the Preston game?

To be fair its nothing new. We did this under Mowbray as well. It's frustrating because, as you say, Dolan is just another body in the box for the sake of it.

Birmingham fan I speak to through work, who is usually pretty negative, says this team this season is vastly different and superior than what they’ve had for a few years now. Apparently their work rate is top notch, and they close and harass from the front, so we need to be careful with our suicidal tendencies passing around at the back.

Blackpool 1 -0 up against PNE. Let’s hope this is the start of a good day 😀

I’ve reworded the point further up this page to explain what I meant (See my reply to Mike).

Ok. So the last time we came from behind in a game to avoid defeat it was a Dack-inspired revival when he came on at half time at Coventry. We have failed to turn around any defecite in the league this year. My point is that in the scenario where we are a goal behind, I would rather we brought Dack on with 30 minutes to go than,say, Hirst. Or, say, the Under 14s. Dack is more of a proven goal threat. JDT disagrees, as he hasn't done that so far when he has had Dack available on the bench. We don't know for definite why he hasn't given Dack more time in that situation. But what we 100% know is that the decisions he made in those games when we were behind and dack was available ultimately led to us losing the games. I'm not sure why that's causing such a stir.

Absolutely. He could have thrown Pears up top and that could have led to us not losing. Personally I'd have tried the player we have who has the best goalscoring instinct as we had him on the bench, otherwise why is he even there.

I requote the post you quoted. FFS It’s a fact. We did lose them. How can you not agree with that? Im not saying that Dack getting more minutes would have made us not lose those games. We will never know that. JDT elected not to give Dack more minutes in those games. But we absolutely know that JDT’s decisions in those games ultimately led to us losing those games.

I. Never. Say. That.

I never said that though did I. Bringing Dack on may or may not have resulted in us losing. But not bringing him on earlier definitely resulted in us losing it. Think about it 😀
