Tomlinson's first game was the FA Cup 5th round tie against Man Utd in Feb 2017, three days before Mowbray took over. He played in Mowbray's first game against Derby but not again that season. He had 7 appearances in the League 1 season, 4 in the League 2 in the FA Cup and 1 in the EFL Trophy.

You're stretching the numbers there Roger to make your case. Season ticket sales in mid October were reported to the Fans Forum as just under 2,500 and I doubt they have sold even 100 more since. At the same time match pass sales were reported as averaging between 1,500 and 2,000 so the average will be nearer 4,000 than 5,000. The one positive is that Rovers will be making some money from match passes for away games which they would not have done before.

I don’t think anybody would choose an iFollow stream over going to Ewood but it seems a perfectly acceptable next best given actually going to a game isn’t an option. In truth I never really enjoy commentators on any broadcast but I’m comfortable with Neil Yardley. If I wasn’t I could turn it off or even have a go at the away feed. Presumably people’s issues with the quality of the stream are more about their internet signal rather than iFollow? Mine’s been fine - not super HD quality but perfectly fine.

I don't think I realised that there was a time delay on iFollow. It can't be very long? Anyway it makes not a blind bit of difference to me and I can't see why it would to anyone else unless you can't actually put your phone down for 45 minutes to watch a game.

For anyone with too much time on their hands this afternoon Sky Sports is showing the thriller that will no doubt be San Marino v Gibraltar at 2pm. Hopefully an appearance by Louie Annesley will provide some interest for us.

It’s only in Kirkham - he should be able to manage it.

Three - a very similar cross in the first half, straight on to Lenihan's head which needed an excellent save to keep out.

They were at home yesterday Tyrone. Although your point still stands in general.

And once again a stunning pass in the first half. Largely missed as Wharton slipped when moving for it - if he hadn't he would have been clean through in the penalty area.

He already has.

Hopefully Warburton is as ill informed as this QPR fan on one of their messageboards..... Although after forcing myself to endure 60 mins of that turgid blackburn v midds game during the week, its completely clear that mowbray knows how to set a team up to bore and defend.

Probably more likely that Rovers have let him go early for the International break. Playing for Gibraltar in competitive games is probably at least as good as an under 23 game for him.

3-0 now in injury time .What's even more bizarre is that PNE have 13 points, all away from home - 5 straight defeats at home.

The game is on iFollow for Season Ticket holders, but for no one else.

I still don’t think that Hugh Carthy can replicate what Tao Geoghegan Hart did in the Giro, but he’s having a damn good go. What a ride up the Angliru yesterday, just riding away from the likes of Carapaz and Roglic on ridiculously steep roads.

You're right Bazza. I've just got an email from Rovers reminding me that ST holders don't need a code from tomorrow.

It should be but I won’t know for sure until the codes are sent out - that should be tomorrow.

I doubt they will get much from this - it's only on iPlayer and the BBC website with a single camera. As I thought the only one the BBC are showing on terrestrial TV is the FC United game.

As I've just posted on the match thread Safari has worked fine for me for all the games I've seen - all but 2 and on iMac at home and iPad on our boat in Cheshire.

I'm on Safari, which has worked fine for me for every game I've seen (all except Bournemouth & Newcastle) on both iMac and iPad. The latter was on our narrowboat in the middle of the Cheshire countryside.

iFollow is fine for me.

It's obviously a bit early for Rovers but I thought it worth mentioning Chorley's "plum" tie in Round 1 away at Wigan. They must stand a chance there and maybe even TV coverage. Although I suspect that FC United v Doncaster is probably a banker there.

Yes, free to ST holders and you should have had a code already. If you're not a ST holder I presume you can pay £10, but it's also on the Sky red button and I believe there is a way to see it through Bet365 as well.

Two telling sets of stats. Reading have had 51 shots, 25 on target and 11 goals for and 1 against. We have 125 shots, 52 on target and 16 goals for and 7 against.

Harry Wilson, who went to Cardiff?
