Time for Leonard to step up.... big chance for him.

New contract signed ...

I'll go 3-1, based on nothing other than hope and optimism

Injured ( I think),

Still rather have that than VAR though 😀

Birmingham have woken up in the 2nd half ......

My daughter in law comes from a Birmingham supporting family - their fans are really not happy at all with Rooney being brought in, especially after they made a good start to the season under Eustace who was very popular with the fanbase. Loads of booing apparently at the home game on Wed, even when Rooney came out before the match started......... he needs to turn things around, and quickly. They do look pretty poor against Southampton though - so the signs aren't good so far.

That's better

What a completely forgettable half of football that was... Hopefully can only improve ?

Getting outplayed all over the park today - Ipswich by far the better side.

We're giving away far too much in midfield with weak tackles and careless passing, and we are struggling to score from the chances we do create.... So , inexplicably I expect us to win this one 3-1 Can only hope ...

Better !

Agree.... careless pass from him there led to Travis getting a yellow card

Give him a chance .....just played a lovely ball through to SS

Full page feature on Rovers, and the 5000th game, in today's Daily Telegraph...

Bugger...

Gallagher ....what a player 😀

That's how to head a ball......😒

Shearer and Garner would have been great to see play together ....

Not going that well....

Given our unpredictable form, I firmly expect us to win comfortably today - but other results won't be in our favour .... too little, too late

Will be watching this but fully expecting an easy Burnley win and them being crowned champions .... Prove me wrong Rovers, please !

No.....bringing on extra defenders...never works for us !

Agree... it never works for us....and straight away we concede

Moving the semi-finals to Wembley was a huge mistake by the FA and massively devalued the competition .....but I'd still very much like us to be there. My grandfather (1928) and my father (1960) both got to see Rovers in FA Cup finals - I'd really like to have the same happen just once in my lifetime. More important (sentimentally, but not financially I know) then getting back into the Prem for me ...
