......thats that then

Pears to be the hero of the penalty shootout ......?

Sad, but true. My grandfather was at Wembley in 1928, and my father in 1960 - I'd really love to get to see Rovers play in an FA Cup final in my lifetime, but it is very much a non-priority for most managers these days. Understandable for a club in our current position.

Much as I care very much about our FA Cup runs and would love to see us progress, I think we will see as few of the settled first team players as TM can get away with involved in this...... I expect starts for Pears, Carter, Ayala, Magloire, Johnson, Davenport, Butterworth, Gallagher, Dolan and maybe even a couple of the other U23s involved.

Used the NOW TV 24hr pass a couple of times to watch Rovers - works very well ... if you time it right and are lucky with the fixtures you can watch a few other Sky games too for your tenner.

I'm worryingly confident about this one (unless our settled starting line-up gets ravaged by +ve Covid tests) .... a 3-0 win for us.

Bournemouth just lost again (at Middlesbrough)

Kaminski back in, no Dolan

My son is married into a Birmingham supporting family, so this one always has a little bit of extra edge - but feel confident (3-1)

Good result - stupid time wasting cost us yellow cards and 7mins to hold on for, but overall happy. BBD looked tired ...

good save Pears

They were both wasting time .... now 7mins added on Ref was warning them from about 50mins on

Dolan on for Kahdra

He made a good save low to his left just before we scored ...stayed down holding his left side/hip ....carried on for a few minutes but now gone off.

Not listed on RoversTV (yet...) but it is available through the Peterborough site. https://www.theposh.com/video/packages Judging by previous games it may appear on Rovers TV later today.

The 2nd half has to be better than that was.........(trying to be positive)

Worst I can remember (at home)

He does look promising...

Sometimes you just play against a team who are an awful lot better than you are... Handball in the box ? - not really, it was headed onto his arm from 3ft away- never going to be given. Handball by Reed ? ...possibly, although we would moan if it was given against us, the challenge by Van Hecke ... absolutely stupid. Fulham/Bournmouth (and maybe West Brom) are going to walk this league.

A game of two halves....... Fantastic and dreadful

Very fair commentators on RamsTV...way better than our two moaners.

Windy and a bit of damp/drizzle , but not really raining Not seen a game live since before lockdown (lots on-line) .... T

Currently this is probably the closest game to home for me, but not travelling in to see it - will watch on RoversTV, but not optimistic.

Assuming BBD has made it back to the UK in time, I'd be very surprised not to see him on the bench (at least)
