I can see what you mean, but they're all behind us. I suppose it depends which way you look at it. If we win on Wednesday, it more or less puts Coventry out of it. To me, despite a poor performance, we've actually widened the gap, and the games are quickly running out. We were never going to "lose" our way into the top 6, eventually the big boy pants will have to come out of the drawer.

We most certainly are, we were 6th courtesy of goal difference this morning, we're now 6th by a point,and there's a game less to play. How is that not stronger compared to this morning?

We're actually in a stronger position league wise than we were this morning, and there's a game less to play. Nervous for Wednesday now, but as someone earlier said, Coventry will definitely have to come at us. Win that game and it probably puts them out of it. I can't actually believe we're still in there, maybe we're just destined.

Been saying that the two teams which are least crap will limp into the top 6. Having witnessed the second half display on Monday,I'm feeling a bit more optimistic. Preston's run in is as tough as ours, Millwall's looks easiest on paper but they've both us and Preston to play. One thing giving me confidence, if we do actually make the cut, is our form this season in the cups. If we could replicate that knockout form in the play offs, we'd have as much chance as any other team.

Spot on, the money spent seems to get glossed over and forgotten. He has done really well, but it's hardly a Paul Daniels job. It's also the players he got left with, he's had £40 million on top of the likes of Barnes, Brownhill and the others who have been a mainstay in their team all season. If Tomasson got Rovers up, then" that's magic".

Quite pleased myself, we would have missed the Grand National. Be watching it with the family, with more than half an eye on Millwall v Preston.

How's yer nerves everyone? Maybe corner practise at both ends this week in training is in order.

I agree, but that's a balanced view.

It's the way people think they've proved a point. If you constantly highlight the negatives and totally ignore anything positive, then there you go, point proved,and you've got yourself a totally useless player. Nyambe fell foul of the same thing. As most others who are going today, I'll be doing so with hope but trepidation. Whoever pulls on the shirt will have to earn anything we get.

Tomasson inherited a squad capable of a top six place, I don't see how it can be argued , we've been in there from day one thanks almost totally to the existing players. What it needed was the extensive new recruitment team to come up trumps to give the existing squad a leg up. It didn't.

Not saying he shouldn't start, but assuming Adam Wharton is going to carry on against Hudders where he left off against a Norwich side already 2 up definitely won't happen. Only Tomasson's stubbornness will prevent Wharton starting over Morton, but starting Monday's game will be a world away from yesterday.

That was a no show,really disappointing. We can't afford any more no shows from Monday onwards. The 2 teams which are least crap from now on will get 5th and 6th. It might be our best chance for some time, this division won't be as weak for the foreseeable future.

Agreed, they can't continually keep selling tickets on the cheap.

Hudders is sold out.

Can't see Tomasson making any outlandish decisions on Friday for the most important game of the season. I'm sure he'll think back to the debacle of Turf Moor. Can't see much difference to the starting line up apart from up top. Probably Brereton for Dolan and a toss up for right wing.

The stats(according to Rich Sharpe) say that we're much more likely to win with Gallagher in the team than without him. It would be a massive gamble by Tomasson to leave him out of the biggest game of the season.

We didn't play well but we've generally bounced back from a poor performance this season. I don't really see the need for all The End Is Nigh comments, with 8 games left, 5 of them at home and one in hand on everyone else, we're in the best position since we went down. With the league as weak as it's been for ages, this is probably our best chance for some time to come, there are only 4 teams that wouldn't swap positions with us. A win on Friday puts Norwich out of the running.

It might be true, but I'd doubt that it swayed any selection decision when the owners are turning down millions for players that are going to leave for nothing.

I've no idea,you'll have to ask those making the decisions. I'd hazard a guess it's more about safety, no doubt the compulsory bus travel being scrapped has had an impact.

I didn't say they'd done it this season, they have made the decision to halve the away end,if they hadn't I would have probably got a ticket for their place. Rovers haven't got a bigger ground for their benefit, if the club think their allocation is to our benefit, then they've done right. Whether it is remains to be seen.

I think the point is that Pears hasn't really had to pull off any massive saves. On the whole, we've been solid and calm since he came back in. Wouldn't argue with either playing,both got strengths and weaknesses.

A lot of Burnley fans not happy at missing out on their cup final tickets. I missed out on a ticket at The Dome because their powers that be decided to halve the away end to the minimum 2000 permitted. Seems unanimous that everyone thinks Steve Waggott has made the right decision on this one.

Pears if I was choosing Agreed, I'm hoping to get to both Hudders and Preston. I'll be going to 7 games in April altogether, so decided to give Birmingham a miss,shoot me.

It's just another foreigner with a complete lack of understanding of the situation and history,totally irresponsible. The irony is that Burnley have made the conscious decision to reduce the away allocation to the minimum permitted,they could have left it at 4000. Maybe they should have consulted Rovers first to ask their opinion and ask for permission. Maybe it's time for Pace to spend some more of everyone else's money and make the ground bigger for our benefit.

No chance they were getting all the Darwen end with unrestricted travel. To those that moaned about the buses and now can't get a ticket, well done.
