Since this thread is meant to be about PL I have a question to those watching. I see Nottingham Forest is 2nd in the league. How are they playing? Deserved or lucky?

You know what? I’m with Chaddy here. Rovers goal pummeled but we come away with a hard fought 1-0. A man can dream.

Awful. Still time to grab an equaliser.

Playing a lot better and creating chances. Leonard to win it for us again? Buckley on for Baker

If we manage to pick of as many points in the latter half of the season as we’ve done so far we’ll be dead certain for playoffs. Need to win games like these. Still hope we make it another 1-0 at home and 3 points. Style be damned if you will. COYB!

Not a very good game this far. A bit boring to be frank. But get me a 1-0 win and I’ll gladly snooze through 90mins+

Fantastic from Pears. Pheeeew.

Leonard you beauty! One more!

In other news: Boro has gone from 3-0 at half time to a red card and 3-3. Nuts this league.

And there it is….the dreaded boxing day as a rovers fan

Oh dear. That was weak. Need to get back into it.

Brilliant half! Big shout out to the wasteful Dolan and the massive Baath

We look so solid in defense despite some pressure from Sunderland. Just need to get a second to calm nerves.

Get in! Brilliant start to the game. We seem really up for it. Should be two!!!

Ahhhh…..boxing day! The festive footy season has come to give grief, despair, enjoyment and pleasure to fans all over the world. Glued to the screen, finally some free time from family, dog at my side and a good cup of coffee. I’m all set. Bring it on! COYB!!!

The points are ranking up. We look like real contenders for at least a playoff place. And we keep on being ruthless when defending. The way Eustace has organised this squad is nothing less than impressive. Funny thing is he’s doing square pegs in square holes and it works for some reason. First contract extension we should get as soon as possible is Eustace. Haven’t seen this sort of solidity from a Rovers team since Hughes and Allardyce. Absolutely loving it! Can I dare dream of a holiday season that won’t crush me and kill the rest of the season? Yes…it seems like I can. So proud of the boys right now. Time to get drunk! Cheeeeeers! COYB!!!!

So this is five games in a row without conceding a goal. When was the last time this happened?

No it won’t. Our defense got this and Pears seems up for it. I’m absurdly calm as this is the best defense we’ve had in ages.

The refs in this league. I swear to Jack that if you put together a video of all the blunders over a season in the Championship and speed it up, you would basically have both the most horryfying and hillarious movie in ages.

Don’t necessarily agree with those subs, but hard to not have faith in Eustace these days so have to believe he knows what he’s doing. Still a big fat zero in the against coloumn. That is what matters the most roght now if you ask me. We will win this.

Think we need some changes soon. Put Weimann and Leonard on.

Gueye goes close! And Danny Bath is really earning his salary these days. Great signing and I dread to think how much we’ll miss him if he’s injured or suspended.

Abso-fucking-lutely fanstastic! That keeper we miss? Let two passed him. The keeper we have but not quite sure we like? Another big fat zero! And ACD showing what he can do. Love it! This just keep getting better and we look solid even with suspensions and injuries. That is ALL Eustace. Quickly becoming my favourite since Venkys took over. Also love the more direct style of football. Still some dilly dally but that’s just the modern game isn’t it? Onwards and upwards!

Missed the first goal because family, but got the second! Brilliant…and I’m a bit flabbergasted. But very pleased. MORE!

I like the look of this, but feel a bit uneased by it all. Four up top who has hardly played together could turn out to be a bad idea. Important our defense stays strong and Pears having (another) good game. Here's hoping for a thumping win, but won't shed to many tears if we draw. Lose = unacceptable as it is Ewood. COYB!!!
