I've been jetting across the world, using different browsers, incognito mode, cleared caches (I'm a web developer by trade so know all the tricks), nothing works!

Anyone else had issues getting to buy the match pass from *ahem* Spain or one of the other countries that the news article said it would be available to purchase from on Rovers TV? 

One thing I did take from watching the game last night, and the previous league games, in my opinion, Dack needs to be playing in any game where we are likely to have more of the ball. He might not be able to get about and chase down as much as Sammie but so far, Dack still looks like a far superior footballer. His speed of thought and ability to play one or two touch, as well as hold onto the ball when needed, puts him ahead of the pack in our attacking options. I do worry that maybe the others, bar Hedges, aren't quite on the same wavelength as him when it comes to reading the game in an attacking sense. Last night he sometimes looked to be a step ahead of the others and they didn't read his intentions which made some of his passes look wasteful. He also makes some fantastic runs that seem to go unnoticed and he isn't found.

Just an opinion as I said, but so far Sammie has done little to prove that he offers more than Dack does, long season ahead and I'm sure Sammie will prove his worth, but for me, for now, Dack should be starting and running his knackers off until he is spent and then Sammie brought on to replace him.

Is it on RoversTV ? Anyone know ? 🤔

Match pass is available to international subscribers by the look of it.

I have to say I thought he was woeful the first 20-30 minutes at the weekend. Our worst player in the opening period by my reckoning. After that he settled into it and had a half decent game. He obviously has an eye for a pass and some natural ability but at this moment in time I still think we will only see it in flashes. Totally agree with others who have suggested he needs to be more physical both in attitude and body. Fingers crossed he develops further and we have a quality player on our hands, overall I'm yet to be convinced but hoping to be proven wrong!

Bad business getting Harvey Elliott in my eyes massive wage and he has an even bigger attitude problem bad business 

Liverpool supporting mate: "Bit of a lad, hell of a player".

My Leeds supporting mate reckons we have just signed the best left back in the Championship. High praise indeed, but then he does support Leeds so hard to trust his judgement!

Living in Norwich I can safely say that a lot of Norwich fans rate Trybull and from what I have seen of him myself he looks like a good signing at this level.

As an aside, him and his wife are both pretty active on instagram, or at least used to be, for those that are social media inclined.

Regarding Ruddy, apparently (so my Norwich supporting friends tell me) he still lives in the Norwich area and commutes to Wolverhampton as he didn't want to leave the area when he left Norwich.

I can't imagine a commute up to Blackburn every day is plausible so if the above is true it might be a sticking point in any deal. 

Would be a good signing IMO if we could get it done though!

The thing is of they were top of the league or in the running for the play offs, they probably wouldn't go away

I doubt Leeds, Sheffield United or Norwich players are heading to dubai on jollys. I doubt ipswich are either. So in a way, our lot are best placed to go away as they have nothing left to play for. Therfore, in a way they are being rewarded for mediocrity. 

 

I live in Norwich and work with season ticket holders here. One of the first things one guy said this morning when talking about football was that pretty much all of the Norwich players are off to Dubai or Tenerife this week. I think it's pretty common place for players at all teams to head away over the international break at this time of year, regardless of form or league standing. 

No opinion on whether it's right or wrong, Just hope it does the trick for our lot and they come back to put a shift in for the remaining games of the season!

A work colleague has just returned from a holiday in Portugal and told me he met a rovers fan out there who knows Joe Garner and said that he's very unsettled at Ipswich and would love to return to the North West, preferably back to Rovers.

As always with these things take it with a large pinch of salt, no indication that we are even interested, personally not sure it would be the answer to our striker wishes either but just thought I'd pass it on for potential debate!

Surely this is in reference to the TV show 24 in which the main character is named Jack Bauer? Just before people who haven't seen it start to get too excited about an imminent arrival!
