Glad to hear it, good to see it’s going to get a cleaning, made me miss the place being stood outside it

I jogged past Ewood at lunch, cherry picker and a power washer outside with a couple of blokes surveying the situation

I’ve always liked Bilic, he’d be a real roll of the dice if someone took a gamble. Steady mid table with brief play off flirtations with Mowbray or risk it and try and bring in someone more dynamic who could rock the apple cart!

Pretty sure things get ordered 12-18 months in advance from the east Its a hard call for clubs like ours where there is a limited market for selling shirts, they don’t want to end up with too much left over so I presume use market trends from past seasons to make an estimate

Not surprising, his team seemed to regularly implode and have just the 2 wins.

Andy Bayes scathing of Buckley a couple of times since he came on

Very frustrating, the commentators had us bang to rights with their critiques tonight, great football at times but soft underbelly

Barry Chuckle has had a shocker

Not convinced he’s ever been a full back, he looks a ball playing midfielder

Ffs sucker punch, Douglas should be stopping that cross coming in

ARGHyala should be 1-0

Armstrong up to 7 shots I think now

How can a non existent crowd be so annoying?

Genuinely don’t think he is defensively, going forward he’s more confident

Armstrong should be playing in Gallagher there Edit and again!

Little things but Kaminski dragging Douglas into position there on the corner shows how he commands the box, great to see

Nyambe is immense

So a win would take us to 7th, 6th if Brentford get beat somehow by Wayne Rooney’s Derby Come on Rovers!

Nyambe would be a catastrophe, I’ve said for a long time I think he’s potentially the best right back in the league but has lost his place to Bennett and Rankin Costello, there’s not even been real strong talk about a contract being close. I think he’s off. Rothwell is an interesting one, he’d no doubt like to play more but I think we and him are a good match and he’s unlikely to have offers from much more attractive teams. I think Holtby will be off, back to the continent somewhere; which again would be a huge loss.

Yep, apologies, I hadn’t seen the full sequence of events before the highlights had presumed it was all in one moment rather than after speaking to the ref

Rovers Twitter account celebrated Brereton for celebrating us getting a penalty a couple weeks ago

Another Dolan assist as well, 3 goals, penalty won, an assist today Reckon that is one small gamble that has officially paid off!

Superb result, the momentum remains

GET IN The least expected Rovers goal for a good while

Douglas is proving it to be Readings 9 second goal was worse than anything Bell had served up.......yet
