I'd be amazed if we went through that 8 games unbeaten. Just isn't going to happen.

Because all the football league play on New Year's day which is a Wednesday, and the TV companies want the choice to show a Friday night game, which would probably be a EFL team at home to a Prem team. So the turn around is too short.

It will be an unusual set of results that will be impossible to predict. But i'll go.. Hull - L Sheff Wed - D Luton - D Milwall - W Sunderland- W Hull- D Leeds - L Burnley - L

To a man i thought we were superb. A real team performance.

If there's one thing that Rovers generally don't do, it's last minute winners. Only one since we have returned post covid, and none in injury time.

We're going to have to be in some serious form heading into this game to get over 20k. Like tomphil says above it makes the Derby look like a joke.

Pretending it's something to do with police.

£40 for a Jack Walker central ticket. All to fleece 4k dingles.

Yeah he was brilliant, one of my favourite ever Rovers players even though like you say we only saw the best of him for a short time. A lot forget that he pipped Shearer to be our player of the year in 93/94 too.

Hyam and Hedges are easy to just trigger the option to kick the can down the road another year, so we'll definitely do that. Wiemann and Batth I could see agreeing new one year deals too just to pad out the squad.

There's no way you will need over 300 points to get a ticket for this game. I think the either someone at the ticket office is confused and thought the poster was on about Burnley away (which of course has already happened) or the poster has simply misheard.

Yet Sunderland can have the whole end on Boxing Day at 3pm. It's all a con.

Imagine it will be an unchanged team, but I would be tempted to get Beck in for Hedges to give us a bit better flexibility to go 3 at the back in this game.. Fully expecting a very similar game to the Sheffield Utd one, lots of effort and huff and puff but ultimately undone by a better side. Rovers 0 Leeds 2

Think we have Carter until 2027 so no immediate rush on him, all the others though are up within the next 18 months. I have no faith that we'll do anything with them.

So a non ST holding Rovers fan can only go to this game if they have attended in the past 12 months?!

That's just the new 1875 member + ST holders, then ST holders, then general sale from previous seasons.

How old is he?

I imagine it will go in the week commencing 16/12, failing that there's a few midweeks free in Jan.

Sunderland have been allocated 7k for Boxing Day, but the game is a 3pm kick off. How can that be so?

January will be too soon. I can see him being sold in the Summer though if he stays fit and has a good second half of the season.

Seemed to be regular's when the club reduced ST's (slightly) on the basis of there recommendation.

We have a pretty good record straight after the international break in recent times. Since start of last season we have played 6, won 5 and lost 1. You are correct that being midweek probably kills this one though! Hopefully we'll be fairly fresh and can nick a draw.

No chance of a loan like that, it will be the likes of that lad from Fulham we nearly signed on deadline day.

Who is paying for him?

Cost Cutters FC aren't open on Mondays anymore to contact, would have to be Tuesday.
