Let's start the Xmas games early, 2020 themed: What rhymes with breath viral? 🤔🤔

Perfect weather breaks out for Stoke's style of play.

True. Could jump above them and Stoke. But we all know what affect the air up there has on our noses.

Bristol City now scored one goal in 450 mins of football. We really are the gift that keeps on giving. And how the hell are they still 2pts ahead of us.

Last 2 weeks, considering score on 80 mins, points I wouldn't have expected us to accumulate since the darkness descended: Millwall 2pts Brentford 1pt Rotherham 2pts Fair play to the team for pulling them put the bag. 5 bonus pts in my view. Sounds like a good haul. But, somehow, we're now 9 pts from automatic. A realistic target not so long ago. Potentially 2 wins from 3rd place, fair enough, but as elated as I am with a last second winner, just can't shake that feeling that this team doesn't have it in them to go the distance and compete back end of the season. Maybe the return of some of our "top" players in Dack and Trav will prove me wrong.

You owned that jumper last time we scored a 98th min winner right? 😁😁

Fuck off Derrick!

https://www.premierleague.com/video/single/500456?TAG=On this Day 9 years ago they did exact same thing to us. Potshot from outside the box. Massive deflection, goal. 😡😡

Well, you have 5 hrs left to find somewhere to be! 😏

Have you watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix yet? Pretty interesting.

Well, Fowler had a man sent off on 25th min, but still held out for a 0-0 draw. So, he has his first pt on the board, but team have scored 0 goals in 4 matches. Fair play to him for managing over in India. He must really love the sport. Fowler net worth is over 30 million, and as far as I can tell managers in that league get about £150k a year. So, he isn't doing it for the pocket money.

Just discovered there's an ex-Rovers match about to kick off at 2pm. Robbie Fowler v Owen Coyle = East Bengal v Jamshedpur (Indian Super League) Fowler's team sit bottom of the table with stats - 3 matches, 0 goals scored, 7 goals conceded. 😮 Coyle has played 4 matches and only lost one. C'mon Robbie, let's break your duck and get a win on the board! 🤞

Daunting as it is, we've scored 8 more goals than them in the league. Home v away records we've scored more than them and conceded less. And they got beat away a week ago by Luton, although I accept they had horrific injury problems. Not saying it's a gimme by any stretch, but we've surely got to go into games like this expecting the team to have a chance of picking up all 3 pts. Besides, we're due some luck against them. The deflected goal in 2011 still hurts me now. 2 goals up and cruising. One of the worst deflections I've ever seen against us. Just looked it up and realised it was Bradley Johnson that scored it. Hopefully, he does the same for us this time round.

Despite us getting the standard nosebleed, and it feeling like groundhog day, I'm strangely quite positive still. That graphic came up showing us in the top 2 in the league for basically all attacking stats. We've looked way more solid at the back recently (Kaminski key to it all imo) We played some really nice stuff tonight. No end product, but it happens, mainly due to AA having a stinker/ball hogging. I've seen enough the last 2 weeks for me to keep the faith. I still think we have the ingredients to compete in the league this season. A win Saturday and tonight is all forgotten. And we really need to get over this hoodoo of not beating top half teams. 🤞

And again straight after.

That elephant looks traumatised!

Get in! That's real fighting spirit. Well done lads. BBC repoter just called it "a soft penalty and very harsh red card".

That's the Brentford commentary turned off then.

Every week there's a freak injury! So innocuous some of these. Even Dack's was a year ago.

Commas really can change context.

Course ref, just a friendly chat needed there.

Amari Bell most of that half:

"Blackbum will be thinking all they got to do is turn up and the games theirs." They've clearly never spoken to a Rovers fan before. We generally don't expect to win when 2-0 up in the 80th min. "...and don't be mugs and fall for their dirty tactics.keep 11 on the pitch..." Wtf are these dirty tactics?! Do they mean our players being clean through on goal and getting hauled down? FFS. Pretty much every opposing team's fans that has had a red against us this season has called their own player a moron for what they did. Not our fault AA is uncatchable. ?‍♂️?‍♂️
