I absolutely love the way he refers to us as 'Rovers'. He really comes across as a grounded individual who has the uncanny knack of saying the right things and certainly isn't getting carried away. For his nice demeanour and interviews I'd wager he's a right b****** to cross.

I have seen him play quite a few times and I've never really seen him take risks. If there is nothing on he just goes back to the keeper and start again. It's probably nit picking but I thought he tried to win a couple of headers when he should have held his ground but with good coaching and more games this can be rectified. He can be proud of his performance and his beaming smile on the photo with his family spoke volumes. Surely his advisors, if they are doing the right thing for him should be telling him to sign here. At Spurs he will be back in the under 21's playing against kids who invariably will be no match physically for him.

I lost me season tickets last year and they were handed in so hopefully somebody will do the same for your sisters handbag. When she rings ask Rovers to put it on their social media if it hasn't yet been handed in.

A really enjoyable night at Ewood as Tomasson, true to his word gave some kids a game and on the whole fully justified his decision. My brother and a couple of friends were seeing some of these youngsters for the first time and were really impressed. This will do the kids who played the world of good and as supporters we should feel proud of the Academy and the good work going on there. Just heard Bradford away in the next round. I'm looking forward to it already and hopefully Sky might consider televising it live.

I believe we did.

The man is a grade A blagger, full of nonsense and over complications.

At the exchange of team sheets an hour before kick off West Brom should have asked Rovers for permission to use the towels but they didn't. They simply put them around the pitch perimeter as the game started which was sneaky. It was up to the referee to stop it as permission wasn't given but he was weak and allowed it. It's different when West Brom are at home but they have to offer the visitors use of the towels too. So if Bruce asks on Sunday Tomasson should say no. If I was on the Rovers bench I would be reinforcing the point about their antics last season to the referee before the game.

In fairness it was Ismael but West Brom pulled a fast one. With us being at home West Brom should have asked for permission before the game but didn't. The referee allowed them to do it when it was in his power to stop it but he was weak.

Hopefully Tomasson tells Bruce to f*** off when he wants to put towels out on the touchlines.

I agree on their front three. If they stay fit I reckon they have fifty goals there. I saw their game against Sheff Utd and thought defensively they looked at but suspect. I can see them being involved in some high scoring games this season.

Similar I think. The last three matches there have been 7.45 midweek twice and a 5.30 Saturday which all from memory had in the region of 500.

It's also available (albeit illegally) through various means. My understanding of this is limited but isn't it free using this way? With extortionate ticket and fuel prices I don't think there was much change from £70 for those travelling by coach. Something to eat and a few drinks would likely take that to £100.

On dear. The Rags are two down to Brighton after 40 minutes in the Theatre of Dreamers. Hen Taag (or whatever he is called) has the look of what the f*** am I doing here. Love it.

Yep we definitely had some along the lines of 'I would rather lose than play that way' mentality.

I disagree. The pass was perfect and the defender was close enough to Brereton but the quality of the pass took him out of the game. He read the flight of the ball perfectly and the touch off his chest was perfection. By definition if you make the pass that leads to a goal it's an assist irrespective of where the goal comes from. I'm not getting carried away by the way, I made reference to the fact it's only two games.

So far this season Hedges has been a revelation (only two games I know) but I would argue that he is the most important player in the front four rotational system that JDT prefers. His athleticism is ideal for it and his pass to Brereton yesterday was exquisite. I was told he has the highest numbers of all the players in the fitness matrices in games and training. He also has three assists now.

Thanks Ian. The most telling comment is that their style is easy to play against. I can see let of Championship managers adopting JDT's blueprint and Swansea being in the brown, smelly stuff.

Because we chose to defend against a one dimensional team their manager and some supporters talk about us like we are a footballing Anti-Christ. This football snobbery is more prevalent now and drives me barmy. If Martin and his delusional acolytes don't understand that winning is the most important thing they are in the wrong business.

This is the Ricoh Arena pitch which has caused the postponement of today's game against Rotherham. Hopefully Rotherham fans who have booked trains will be compensated. Surely they will have to re lay this to get it anywhere near the standard required. I don't see how a few Rugby sevens games could have caused this. Certainly it wouldn't have been helpful but plenty of clubs allow rugby on their pitches without these kind of issues.

He is a Primark Pep. They did exactly the same in January when they were one up against us and they'd had a player sent off. They just defended the edge of their box, wasted time and there was general shithousery. After half an hour yesterday some home fans were booing their repetitive, non threatening and boring football. Listening to some comments from their fans walking back to the car they are definitely unhappy with this style of play.

I have to say that Szomodics reminded me of Jamie Vardy. His build and his gait are really similar to those of Vardy and there is more than a passing resemblance in my view.

It was almost the perfect away performance today as we showed resilience and, as Tomasson said we had a game plan and stuck to it. We stifled Swansea and allowed them lots of possession in their half but as soon as the crossed the half way line bang, we were all over them. And in transition we were extremely dangerous as proved by the goals. Probably the most pleasing aspect of the two games was how different we have been tactically but won both games. That's a great credit to Tomasson and his staff for coming up with the plans and the players for executing them, almost perfectly today if you read Tomasson's comments. I really have to commend the players fitness levels too and although we I didn't think we matched the QPR intensity levels they were still high. We have shown in two games an array of strengths that we had hardly seen for five years. It's refreshing to have confidence in our manager after enduring Mowbray with his ad hoc tactics. There's a long, long way to go but I'm so encouraged and enthused by what I've seen so far.

Of course it can happen anywhere but in my view the 'bubble' has prevented widespread disorder and injury in what is specifically a powder keg situation. Unfortunately factions from both clubs cannot be trusted in this particular game. I don't understand the criminal element you mention. I have never felt that I was being treated like that - I fully understand the reasoning and agree with it. Of course there is a hassle factor with the arrangements but I consider it a one-off and accept it.

I remember the case when it went to court. If I remember correctly the man who was assaulted was a dentist from Haslingden. Ironically he had a tooth (or teeth) knocked out. His crime was wearing a Rovers scarf.

I really don't know Andy. I actually think it's the safest way of getting opposition supporters in and out. Whilst it's a pain in the arse I would rather do it than read about some poor Rovers or Burnley fans who have been attacked.
