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.

I'm picturing Tim Brook Taylor's super computer in Willy Wonka.

Courtney's face when he came out at Bradford was a picture. It was the first match he reffed after the Palace match. He genuinely looked surprised at the barrage he got. He made up for it at Wembley I suppose.

Tomasson said Dack should be back after the international break. The conundrum is that Dack would probably have filled his boots last night, but would the chances have come if he'd been on the pitch? The question is, how do you leave out your best finisher?

Whether it's a "must win" game or not is open to debate,but it will be the first result everyone points to if we don't win it and we miss out.

It isn't a case of being "wrong", nobody knows how he would have fared this season, although some will obviously convince themselves. On the other side of the argument, we have those who refuse to admit that he left us in a healthy position, despite the fact that we have been top 6 virtually all season. As roversfan99 says above, it's probably somewhere in the middle, but the middle ground is something of a rarity when it comes to discussing Mowbray. Too many people want to be seen to be "right" when discussing him, to have a rational conversation.

It's a strange situation, can't ever remember it happening before. It does make me wonder how long people will carry it on for. Every decision Tomasson makes seems to be compared to what people think they know Mowbray would have done in that situation. It's all unprecedented to this extent , and also a bit odd.

I still think it will catch up with Luton and/or Millwall. If we miss out by finishing below either of those 2,it would be a big chance missed, and also a big disappointment.

It's young muppets trying to reinvent the best game in the world, when it's just a ball and 2 nets. We had a Rovers "expert" on radio Lancashire a few weeks ago, that hadn't even heard of Tomasson before he came here, but I'm sure they had xg and var off to a tee.

Without looking at everyone's remaining fixtures, I'm sure they're all going to be similar. The one thing which stands out on our list is that apart from Millwall on the last day, all our "harder" games, going off the table, are at home. On present form, you'd also much rather play the Nobbers at their place. With Rovers home form, it has to be an advantage.

Got to fancy Rovers with that defence, unless the dreaded injuries strike. When we're bringing on Brereton and Hedges to see the game out, you know we're in a good place. 0-2 Rovers Thomas and Gally

"But we're 3rd" That's been the most important factor this season,when the poor performances and results came along, there was always the league table to fall back on. Tomasson has been doing his work at the top end of the table all season, thanks to that win/lose sequence. Booed off by some at half time against Millwall, when we were top 6 was a good example. The young heads were far too good for the old heads yesterday, superb performance just missing the 2nd goal.

No doubt about it, the signing of Thomas and the way Costello has grabbed his chance has made all the difference. We're now dangerous down both wings. Hyam brilliant today but difficult to pick just one out. It's no mean feat to take on and outplay Sheff Utd with 4 academy graduates in the first 11,5 if you include Dolan. Dolan may yet turn out to be one of the most inspired signings we've seen.

It's strange, I watched him at Hull and he did a great job when he came on, although more on the wing.

Young legs v old heads. Be interesting to see which one stands the rigours of the run in. 2-0 Rovers, if we can handle Berge and their set pieces.

I don't really believe In over achieving, I don't see how it's possible, you can't do more than you're capable of, it's impossible,unless you purely go off money spent. I do think that the league is a lot weaker/even than it has been for a while, it's maybe a factor in us being so high. I've been saying for months that this could be our best chance for the foreseeable.

Absolutely,Tomasson is coming into his own, I'm glad he's here,this young squad looks perfect for what he says he's hoping to achieve. The fact remains though that he's doing it largely with players he inherited, and that they've been top 6 virtually all season. I don't know what is so hard to understand.

If he didn't leave a squad capable of challenging for promotion, how are we 4th with 12 games to play, having been in the top 6 virtually all season? Tomasson has done a cracking job, but apart from Hyam, his signings haven't really broken any pots, it's been down to the bulk of existing players. The table doesn't lie after so long,we might not have seen it coming, but the players were obviously there, they've proven it. I don't know why people can't accept it, it's obviously true, the table proves it🤷‍♂️

I'm not disputing he's done well, it's been a great season up to now apart from the obvious few games. The squad he inherited, especially the number of young players, is surely tailor made for the job he keeps talking about. I was responding to the comparison between the two coaches, I personally don't think there can be one.
