That aged well

Just turned on the PNE game, I'll never call the Ewood pitch again ! Looks like somebody's driven a quad bike over it

One positive, it sounds like Scott Wharton will be available again. Whether he starts or not is another matter, although he has done well since getting back in the team, I think I'd go for Brittain at right back and Hill can

I know SW said at the fans forum that targets are being looked at for January. Playing devil's advocate though, India may look at recent results and say " what do we need a striker for, we're scoring plenty of goals at the moment"

It's incredible to think that we are scoring the number of goals we are and yet have hardly played a recognized striker all season. Praise has to go to JDT for that and also to Sammie Szmods who is having the season he could only dream of. If there is one player we need to wrap in cotton wool at the moment it's him

Have to say that I think the standard of goalkeeping presently is the worst I have seen in my time watching football. We at Rovers have been blessed over the years/decades with some terrific keepers whose only job was to keep the ball out of the net. The likes of Jones, Bradshaw, Gennoe, Arnold, Flowers , Robinson, and of course Friedel. Kaminski also deserves a mention.. Now you are likely to see a keeper make a mistake or two in every game which ends up costing a goal. What do people think, has the last 20 years or so seen standards drop ?

Looks like they are going 4-4-2 with jutkevic and stansfield up front. . This is no foregone conclusion tonight, they have some decent players. Bacuna, dembele, Sanderson are all good players.

No mention of Carter being injured from JDT in today's press conference so hopefully he's ok, unless we are playing our cards close to our chest. Only issue if so is Travis or Brittain at right back ?

Approach the game in the right way and we should win. I've watched Rovers for too many years to be certain of anything though.! 7 games coming up in December as well , so I would imagine JDT will have to think hard about rotating the squad over the coming weeks ( as much as the squad allows anyway) Hopefully have Hyam, Gallagher and Pears back in the next couple of weeks to strengthen the squad. Team for Wednesday assuming Wharton is out Leo Brittain. Hill. Carter. Pickering Tronstad. Wharton Moran. . Szmodics. Siggy Dolan

Don't write him off yet is all I'm saying. 😃

Think Tronstad is a perfect illustration of not writing players off too soon. Even coming from a decent Dutch league you could see in his first couple of games the game was passing him by and JDT took him out of the side. Now he is probably first name on the team sheet. We also now have Leo who is establishing himself and had a clean sheet yesterday, and Telalovic appears to be getting up to speed and scoring goals, albeit in the I321s at the moment. I think both of these players will also prove to be solid signings for the club. I don't think we sometimes understand how difficult it can be for players moving from abroad to settle into new surroundings and produce their best

Just wondering if there is a concussion protocol in place that means Wharton has to sit out a game or two, which we obviously don't need . Anybody any idea?

Just gets better Nobbers now conceded 2 in injury time . How does it feel Nobbers ?

That makes a refreshing change, 2 late goals for us !! Dingles also stuffed, lost 2-1 conceding 2 in last 5 mins What a weekend !

A few more options now Carter and Pickering back. Was happy with Scott Wharton against PNE, thought he was mom. So maybe this ... Leo Hill. Carter. S Wharton. Pickering Tronstad. A Wharton Brittain. Szmodics. Siggy/ Dolan Dolan/ Leonard

They are being investigated but there are that many breaches (115), it could be a couple of years before a decision is made apparently! 🤷‍♂️

If you say so 👍 You seem hell bent on dismissing a 15 year old lad playing his first game in a much older age group because, according ,to you he's not quick enough, when everybody else seems to have been really impressed with him Knock yourself out if that's your philosophy

Presumably because he knows his chances of progressing through the ranks are better at Rovers than premier League clubs. Our reputation for giving young players a chance has to have helped

No, but if it's one or the other I know which I'd have.

All I'm saying is give me a strikers "nouse" over simply being quick any day of the week He showed great awareness of where the defenders were to flick that ball on to himself. That you can't teach. At 15 he is only going to get bigger and stronger

Bit harsh to say because a lad at 15 , on first viewing seems to lack a bit of pace that he won't make it. Having looked at his goal again last night when he flicked the ball on, the defenders started to catch him only as he steadied himself to shoot. Plenty of strikers can make it without having pace (Sheringham for one) . Dack was never blessed with pace. I think the lad has definitely got something

Enjoyed the game, Rovers did well for 75 mins then seemed to run out of legs and PSV finished much the stronger. Agree about the lad Tyjon, seems to have something about him, although maybe not the quickest.
