If A Wharton is deemed unfit, my team would be: --------------------Kaminski Brittain--------Carter----Hyam----Pickering -----------------JRC----Tronstad --------------------Szmodics Markanday-------------------------------Dolan ----------------------Leonard Desperately hoping that Leonard can help us and I think a goal early into the season for him could set him up for a decent contribution this season.

Any idea if we are getting a 3rd kit reveal today or soon?

I've clearly now seen too many interviews with JDT, as in a meeting this morning I used "in that way". I hope I came across as well as he does, but not sure I did...in that way.

Tried ordering online at 11.01 and my size is apparently out of stock 👌

Is that Ambrosino??

Agreed, seems like an easy win missed it those are real.

I have a feeling they will, at least twice, this season.

No that's Rodders you plonker!

I'd be interested, am in Hampshire not London but it would be great to be in a community with some local-ish Rovers fans...it gets lonely being a Rover down here!

All a bit skewed towards who has played the most minutes that though isn't it? % would paint a clearer picture in a lot of instances. Not arguing that BBD isn't a key player for us mind...

One of my favourites for sure. Energy, skill, determination and agility. Or, arte et labore. Keep it up Sammy lad.

Szmodics. What a player.

Why not? Boro might be the tricky one...

I think it's a symptom of the fact that footballers don't stay with one club for long periods of time anymore if they can get a better deal in a more competitive side. There's little point buying an annual Rovers calendar as our star player probably won't be here by the end of the year. This is where the detached language stems from imo.

The only stat that matters is how many points we have. That along with what you see with your eyes tells you the correct story. We're right up there and as others have said, we're playing very well (this last couple of months). We have a great chance to make it 6 wins on the bounce today. Clearly we'll drop points sooner or later but we should fear nobody right now.

Think this is worth a bump. I've been super critical of Sam through the bulk of this season, all the physical attributes were there but very little quality or instinct was displayed. However, since his couple of goals at QPR the lad has been very good and turned things around brilliantly. Suddenly he is winning the bulk of headers, giving us a genuine out option instead of always playing it around at the back. I've noticed JRC and Pickering really utilising this and that must stem from the extra confidence that they have in Sam right now. He's making himself a handful, freeing up space for others and that coupled with his workrate (which has always been there) means we have a very good striker for this division. He's linking up well with those around him and for me deserves a starting spot ahead of the likes of BBD and Dacky while he plays like this. Fairplay for the turnaround Sam!

Question is, do we want him for the half dozen or so games that he'll likely be fit enough to play now that the £10mil promo clause might end up being activated after all...

Great result and many great performances. It's been said, many times, but Gallagher is literally unbelievably bad isn't he...

Criminal not starting Carter, he's been our best player the last few games.

Just been confirmed on the club site that this will be on RoversTV for those outside of the UK.

I rate Dolan very highly, I think he has been underutilised this season and his return to the first team has really highlighted the development he has made to his all round game. He's a terrier who works his socks off, can keep the ball well for a little player, moves the ball with intelligence knowing when to and when not to take risk. Like above, he seems a great lad too and I hope he continues to kick on and progress to our benefit. He's been involved in the 2nd most goals behind BBD too, and hasn't had that many minutes so we need him more than ever with current injuries.

I hope Leonard at least makes the bench. He deserves a chance at least. Will this be on the red button tonight do we know?

Great chance to kick on here. If Dack and BBD are out I'd play 4-3-3 with the below: Pears, Britain, Carter, Hyam, Pickering, Travis, JRC, Buckley, Dolan, Thomas, Hedges JRC right side of the midfield 3. A Wharton for Buckley if he is fit but it doesn't seem like he is...If JRC isn't fit...well it's getting hard to put a decent first XI together but I would go 523 with Ayala at the heart of defence, Leonard as the central striker and Thomas as the rwb, so no Brittain. Don't think JDT would do the same mind. Let's hope the injuries we have aren't too bad as they are certainly stacking up.

Carter now first choice centre back for me following his latest performances. Composed on and off the ball. Some lovely runs up the pitch in the 2nd half too, utilising the extra cover that came from having 5 at the back. Great to get the 3 points which make the draws away from home much sweeter. We've still got a lot to play for this season, but we do clearly miss someone to stick the ball in the back of the net.

Would have put Hyam in for Wharton personally if he is fit and Buckley for Morton. Surprised Leonard doesn't make the bench. Happy to see Dolan keep his place after a great performance last time around and hoping Travis puts in another good performance as he did look much more like the player we know he can be on the weekend. Brereton is lucky to be playing after his recent performances. No idea what to expect tonight though, just hoping to see some commitment and a Brereton goal to bring his confidence back.
