I hope we put out a weakened team - give the starting 11 a rest as they've been played pretty much without rotation. We have a sliver of a chance of getting promoted out of this god-awful division this year, let's not waste it by getting wrapped in up the magic of the FA Cup.

On big wages, hasn't featured since August and we're looking to take him off your hands. If they want a big fee too I'd just walk away. Good luck.

The pitch didn't help us at all. The ball held up and it clearly took a toll on our legs. That's two matches already that have been ruined because we didn't invest in the pitch / drainage system this winter. Sadly more to follow I fear.

Amateur hour down at Ewood.

Huddersfield have filled the lower quarter of the Darwen end. 5k my arse.

They're a net drain on Super League. Pointless club.

I'll believe that when I see it. They only bring about 6 fans to the DW for the rugby league. Has never struck me as a sporting town.

We've switched to a system that puts the emphasis on counter attacking (our strength) and more importantly we're putting out an unchanged side most weeks. It makes a hell of a difference when you play with the same guys next to you each week - you start to understand their patterns and develop a partnership.

Translated as "we didn't fancy playing the game so found a way out of it".

Cos evidently they didn't fancy it.

To be fair that's a cracking movie. I'm watching The Longest Day myself.

Union or League? Either way, yes this should be a 3-0 victory for Rovers.

And the cricket, sadly.

I think he should. Bottom three of the PL as it stands go down. Top three of the Championship as it stands go up. 😉

Sticking with an unchanged team in a balanced formation. Mainly.

I'm one of three fans staying away due to COVID. We won't be the only ones. We're regulars otherwise.

First foul of the game by Rovers and it's a yellow card. Meanwhile their Serb in midfield has committed 3 petulant fouls and got nothing.

Going to give this one a miss I think. Doesn't seem sensible to sit in a crowd of 10k people when COVID is running rampant through the country again.

What's wrong with the current academy?

RWB. I'd like JRC there, but obviously he can't stay fit.

Looked frustrated walking down the tunnel. Can't tell if it's an injury or a tactical sub.

That's a thumping header.

What's Parker bitching about at half time?

What's the advice for facemasks today at Ewood?

Comfortable win that - handled everything Stoke had to offer with ease.
