Presuming this won't be played inbetween the Portsmouth and Milwall game this side of Christmas, it seems like the next free midweek is w/c 26th January, or failing that w/c 2nd February. Although there are no games scheduled w/c 5th & 12th January I believe clubs have to keep both free incase TV wants to show there club in the FA Cup on either the Thursday or the following Monday night that weekend.

The best form of protest is just leaving these idiots to it. Making fools of themselves just that bit more with every passing day.

No rain at all tomorrow, and then a bit Tuesday morning with it being clear from 11am. It won't even be in, or enter anybodies thoughts until around 6pm Tuesday night.

About 630pm tomorrow I think.

I'm pretty certain they do, can't have it one way and not the other.

Pretty sure they do, think one of Gardner Hickmans bookings for his recent suspension was against ipswich in the abandoned game.

Another released Nixon story saying we will spend money the morning after we're the absolute laughing stock of country. Who would have thought that?

Not a chance this happens.

It was much worse against ipswich but you kept banging on about it was playable and that McKenna was the one who called it off. It was the correct decision to call it off both times from where I was sat, ridiculous that we're in this situation in 2025.

This absolutely needs to happen. It won't though because so.many can't bring themselves just to miss one game for the greater good.

Weather is showing a bit of rain tomorrow afternoon, nothing on Monday, then rain until 11am Tuesday morning with it remaining clear for the rest of the day. Tuesdays game will be fine, if it was 3 days of non stop rain I would agree.

Everyone was saying the same about the Stoke game aswell to be fair.

I still like the FA Cup but its a dead competition these days. No replays, games kicking off at anytime between a Thursday evening and Monday evening, empty grounds, sides playing reserve teams even if they sit comfortable mid table in the prem. My guess is we'll get West Brom at home.

Sheffield Wednesday will be looking at this thinking they can get a rare win so them and there fans will be right up for it.

We conceded 2 last minute goals in Eustace's 12 months here. Conceded 7 in 4 months so far this season!

The bit in bold is me too, I just can't muster any effort to travel the 50 odd miles midweek anymore. What has helped me recover some of my enthusiasm is my 16 year old lad is completely Rovers obsessed, which has taken some doing when all his mates are Man City, Liverpool, Stoke and Port Vale fans. Been taking him since he was 5, but would say it took until the start of the 21/22 season where he really took notice, we have probably done 90% of weekend games since the start of that season home and away as I want to make the most of it while he is so interested. The day he loses interest, if he does will probably see me drop off quite a bit I imagine.

The Eustace one was only £10.

Was miles away from his man again as he just passed it into the far corner completely unmarked in the 94th minute of the game. De Neve has zero awareness on what's going on around him on the football pitch, very much a kick and run player, and he's not particularly good at that.

Seen a loose link to Ryan Hardie on X by some journalist.

Not for me, just seen it back. He certainly didn't drop a shoulder and cut inside, he just passed it first time into the far corner because our left sided player (De Neve) was nowhere near him.

Poor decisions have happened at times i agree. However, it's not the officials fault that we can't defend properly in injury time. Also, the manager has cost us more points at Ewood this season than the officials.

We will lose this one because everyone is expecting to win so easily. Rovers 0 Sheff Wed 1 (Cadamarteri 90+3) Seriously though if we don't win this it's time to just shut Ewood for the rest of the season.

In the same period since we scored a last minute winner in front of fans, we have conceded 10 last minute winners to lose games. I thought it might have been more to be fair, although we have conceded plenty of last minute equalisers too.

Be brave to go with say Litherland and Pratt in the same defence at this stage of the season, but maybe. Like you say all about the pathway.

Against Wrexham he kept crossing the ball into the area instead of taking it to the corner in injury time giving them possession back far too easily. Last night, I would have to see the goal again but it looked like it came from his side again similar to the QPR one.
