The issue I have with ACD is that he has yet to learn not to try and beat players in his own half. Once in the opposition half and with some space to run he has been very effective but he still wants to play the same way defensively. He was a bit better in that respect last night than he has been in other games, notably at Millwall, so maybe he is learning. Whilst Buckley had a mixed game (as did most of the team in truth), for me he played the pass of the night in the first few seconds. From the kick-off he stepped to one side and curled a ball to Hedges who passed it on to Weimann who almost took it into the penalty box.

It’s Forshaw Tyrone! Unless we’ve slipped Robbie Earnshaw in under the radar.

The Met Office forecast is for any mist to clear by kick off, but pretty nippy.

Just missed being able to attend in person. I’m flying back from New Delhi on 22nd.

Whilst Wolves’ form has picked up a bit recently, the 4 matches they have before we play them are away at Newcastle and Chelsea and home to Arsenal and Villa. They could be very much in the relegation fight by then.

I think you’re confusing names randomly mentioned on the internet with actual names of players that are being considered by the club. As far as I know none of the players mentioned have a definite link t9 the club as yet.

That’s already failed for us once this season

Probably a question for me. I liaise with the club about Forum dates and they often move. In fact, although K-Hod doesn’t know yet I’ve been asked if we can move the 10/2 date to 11/2. I will be asking members if that’s OK in the next few days. As it happens I can’t do 11th but that won’t affect any move as I am away for nearly 6 weeks from then anyway. If a significant number of members can’t make the new date we will look again. But it’s virtually impossible to get any date all members can get to. And there is no point in sticking to a date that the club’s senior management can’t make. But we have had meetings moved in the past if I and/or the Chair can’t make a date.

Well he was bloody awful at Millwall. He started very well against Sunderland but from midway through the first half gradually got worse. Completely nondescript against Hull.

Given his recent form I rather hope he’s not.

You’ll need your big coat but otherwise it should be fine, unless the forecast radically changes.

Two out of the three finalists learned their trade at Northcote.

I wonder if the upper tier tickets would sell if they available throughout the season. At sensible prices I suspect that they would, but probably at the expense of sales in the Riverside.

Pickering is out for 12 weeks - if that stays true there will only be 6/7 weeks of the season left. Beck is young and has already missed several games for a variety of reasons. I’m content with Dolan as man of the match, although Brittain is not a bad shout also. Cantwell did more in the first 10 minutes than the whole of the game at Millwall, but then as the game went on lost more and more influence. ACD has so far had one great half against Luton, one poor one and an anonymous game at Millwall. There might be a case for him starting against Hull as we need some player management over the next few weeks but I’m not enthused so far.

You can always street park in Mill Hill, about 10 minutes from the ground. I’ve been parking there for over 50 years and will be there again today.

Buying half season tickets will give you specific seats for the rest of the season. Your mates’ situation is clearly an issue which we will not have had for many years. One, because half season ticket sales have been mostly poor for a good while. And two, this year we have particularly the Burnley game but also the Sunderland game where one off sales will have already filled lots of seats in the Blackburn End and the JW. I would speak to the club and explain the issue. They will be able to see what seats are routinely available near you even if not for the 2 games above. They can also sort out seats for you altogether for the 2 games if that’s what you want.

It's 3 wins and a draw for Rovers in the last 4 at Millwall.

Or indeed for two of you with a TwoTogether card. I can't imagine how anyone can possible prefer to drive to London rather than taking the train. Having said that, it's exactly what I'm doing tomorrow! We're off for Christmas and have far too much to carry on the train unfortunately.

At least in the initial odds Eustace is an also ran at 33-1.

Carlton Morris was clearly pretty pissed oft too on the pitch.

Thinking about a man of the match and yet again I am struggling to see past Tronstad yet again. He completely ran the midfield for the umpteenth time. I think he made one error towards the end of the game.

Here’s a stat for you. As of right now only Sheffield United of the 5 Yorkshire teams have beaten any of the 3 Lancashire teams this season. Leeds have been beaten by Burnley and us and currently PNE are deservedly 1-0 up.

The ITV highlights show is based at Ewood today.

They have kept two clean sheets away. We have 4, but 3 of those have been in current run.

Well it can hardly be December can it?
