We are holding our own here, but I'm not sure about Toth. Kargbo looking up for it. Batth imperious at the back so far. -

Betting suspended on Eustace for Derby County according to my news feed. Make of it what you will, but if he goes, I think there would be decent odds on the Rams finishing higher than Rovers this campaign.. Back to today.. it is a scratch team, but JE did say he would be throwing in the new boys for this game, and so it appears from the team sheet. If we suffer an embarrassing reverse, Ruby should be hung by the knackers from the statue of Uncle Jack. If we somehow win, then perhaps he could be given the reins, if JE decides to head to the midlands. COYB! -

For anyone actually going to the game, just a reminder that Livesey Branch Road is CLOSED at Green Lane, due to a gas main leak which is still under investigation and repair. It will be chaotic due to being the approach to the ground for many of the 4500 Wolves fans making the trip from the MIdlands. There is a diversion in place, but it won't cope well will the extra traffic. Be warned! Be early! And B R F C S forget the gloom and doom sayers, it's a game and we want to win! COYB! -

That is very dark. Care to shed some light on your statement? -

There's nothing to suggest much interest in this game locally, and certainly nothing on offer to incentivise local participation in the event. It will, without a doubt, be more like a home game for Wolves, than for the Rovers. It speaks volumes of the desperate and disheartening times we are now forced to endure to compare the relative fortunes of today's sides with those from 20 odd years ago, when Wolves made it to the Premier League. We had quality right through the ranks then, and it just goes to show how far we have fallen to think how many of the players in the game above are way better than those we look to for inspiration these days. So, not being funny, but I don't see any prospect of anything other than a defeat tomorrow. Rovers fed to the Wolves: BRFC 1 WWFC 4 Lambs to the slaughter: Bo Peep FC 0 BBW 5 Wolverine meets scratch Team: Rovers 1 Wolverines 3 Not really bothered either way. But wft, COYB! -
Forshaw and Rankin Costelloe coming on?? WHAT??
-
How many Rovers fans have travelled this evening?
-
Not a lot in this game. Could go either way, so let's see who has got the nerve, the nous and the need. COYB!!
-
Dolan and Wiemman, off , Cozier Dubery and Cantwell on.
-
Confident strike there from the lad. Get in!
-
A traffic cone would be an improvement
-
So much for keeping it tight at the back. Ah well, shit happens! 😞

Hmm. that didn't go well! -
Aye, but Hedges kept running it into one of theirs, losing control, putting the ball out - lots of huff and puff, but no real impact or threat. You need your wide men to create things, for themselves and for the strikers - I didn't feel like Hedges did anything to worry the PNE back line all evening. Watch him get the nod and score a wonder-goal and get an assist for two others this evening (in my wildest dreams) Anyway, COYB!!

I wonder how the squad feels about the additions that have come on board, and perhaps more importantly, how Mr Eustace is disposed towards his new resources? It would be great if he is feeling relaxed and ready to work them into his plans. Tonight I think we need to go back to basics and make ourselves hard to break down. Concentrate on defending properly and hope to nick a goal or two through our ability to move the ball around quickly in counter attacks. The Cantwell / Travis axis will be key to that, and if the Big Mak continues his recent form, there is always the chance of a chance, if you see what I mean. Take it up the R's - QPR 0 - Rovers 1 Rodney Marsh's Revenge - Hoops 2 Rovers 0 Rovers Run Riot- Rangers 0 Rovers 3 Most likely score line is a narrow victory for either side. JE has us working as a team, but although the wheels haven't completely fallen off recently, you feel like there is always that potential, especially when we are so hamstrung through injuries (pardon the pun). COYB!!

Looks like a cross between Jimmy Quinn and Chris Wood. More likely to be a cross between Jimmy Saville and a Woodentop. Oh deary deary me. -

Remind me again, which clogging bastards took him out? He was clearly targeted and should have brought charges 😞 -

We should be Dann sing. Definitely. More likely we'll be wallflowers and unkissed in our walk of shame away from the play-offs. If, by some miracle we made it to the cut-off for a chance of a Premier League return, what's the betting that it would be our six-fingered cuzzins from down the road that would be the major obstacle? Put yer money on it! 😉 -

I'd prefer someone to charge in like a bull in a china shop to be fair - we are pedestrian enough across the middle and front as it is. There's only on Jack Walker. The other Walkers were problematic and sold us down the river to the Punatics,
