Won more games last than we have at this level since relegation. Whilst there was some shockers in there, with what he had available his style must have been doing something right.

At the moment I don't think we'll be finishing anywhere near the top 6. Need at least 2 more players across the front 3 for me, then another defender and someone who can operate in the 10 position. Get them and lose nobody then I think we'll be looking at it but I still wouldn't be putting money on actually finishing there. The league will be stronger this season than last.

Hedges with one back. 2-1

Finished 0-0. 2-0 down now. Scott Wharton making a hash of things and giving away a pen.

1-0 down in the second game.

Unlikely as there owner hates streaming.

Probably would have included him in the list if absentees with Ennis etc yesterday if Buckley wasn't ready.

Be £30 Blackburn End if they are freezing them from last season. Unless they are making that fixture a super duper A+ game. Also why can't they announce now what category each game will be?

The only sense a membership like that makes to us is for non ST holders. Pay say £20 a season but then they should be able to get £5 off each match day ticket they buy that season. I imagine the only ones they will do will be a few quid off whatever they decide to make the category A games this season.

Rich Sharpe tweeting that 1875 membership will be announced next week. Who on earth is buying one of those this season.

Is that a price freeze on match day tickets? Was expecting them to be more to be honest.

Just thought I would have a quick look. They also did it for 19-20 too... Don't remember it for this season as I didn't get it after league one.

He also kept it going for the 18-19 season for some reason after league one.

They gave us that £20 in club cash off the early bird ST this season instead, can't possibly have both. £15 more expensive than Stanley the adults shirt this season, with a £5 increase on last season i think.

No Adult shirts online in case anyone wanted one https://www.roverstore.co.uk/kit/2324-home-kit/

Can't say I am too fussed about that. From a purely selfish point of view i would much prefer to have Wharton and Phillips in pre season with us than over in Malta with England.

There will be some crowing about how amazing venkys are on social media right about now. Yet they won't authorise £2m for a new pitch.

What has Pears done with his feet that makes everyone think's he's amazing with them?!

Lads I know just get the tickets and sell them on for home games, keeps there cap count up.

It won't be Wednesday as Sheff Utd are at home boxing day, Newcastle are at home too so probably rules out Sunderland. Boro, or a yorkshire trip to Hudds or Rotherham is my guess.

New Years day on is always a strange one, seems you can end up anywhere. Remember us playing down at Norwich and Spurs in the past on that date. Boxing Day they do tend to keep it local "ish" though.

More likely to be up in the North East or over in Yorkshire on Boxing Day I reckon.

Was usually 1864Roverite back in the day from memory something about being in the know with the police, and they were never correct.

Don't get me wrong I have been frustrated at times. But to keep that squad in the mix until the last day of the season, after being badly let down in January for me was a really good job by JDT. Far better than anything his predecessor achieved. We have to kick on again this season though, and you are correct that for some reason the Ewood crowd will be less tolerant of him than they were of Mowbray if we were to start badly.

On course for around 8.5k ST holders for the opening day at those figures. Poor.
