1300 Rovers fans will be supporting our club at Southampton tomorrow. When you consider the cost and time to get there, the adult ticket price of £30 and Christmas around the corner I think it's terrific.

Great news mate. Have a celebratory Christmas.

I have an inkling that there could be a Christmas party in the offing and all the players will be travelling to Southampton 😁😉

I don't believe we do - it's a charade and could ultimately lead to some of the ticket office staff losing their jobs. Perhaps that is their ulterior motive.

I have just been on the Cambridge website and guess what.......tickets are on sale and will be delivered to the recipient by first class post at a cost of £1.25. Digital Day my arse. https://www.venuetoolbox.com/cambridgeunited/asp/basket.asp?action=viewBasket&eventID={31A807FE-DC75-4602-B29C-231A20F1C061}

This 'one size fits all' diktat is far more prevalent and Rovers are jumping on the bandwagon. I have no problem with things like this being tried but there should be options available. But there isn't, it's Hobsons Choice. I have already had a text from a friend who won't be there and is doubtful whether he will renew his season ticket. And he won't be the only one. Our club is so myopic.

As a general rule of thumb yes.

For one recent cup match (Walsall perhaps) I went for tickets and wasn't given a paper ticket but instead my season ticket card was updated to allow me and the others I was buying for to pass through the turnstile exactly as we would for a league game. Surely this is a better option and would in a large way satisfy this environmental nonsense. There would still be a demand for some paper tickets but a lot less.

This Digital Day (who the f*** came up with that name) is another in the catalogue of obstacles and barriers they keep putting up to deter supporters (one age group in particular) from attending. And the excuse of saving the planet by doing this just insults our intelligence. After every home game hundreds of cars are stuck on the clubs official car parks for up to an hour, more in some cases and most have their engines running to keep warm. Now that would be a feather in their environmental cap surely if they could come up with a solution. And tickets go immediately on open sale so season ticket holders who want to sit in their own seat will have to go online at 9 am today to guarantee their seat, a seat which they might have occupied for decades. It's almost like they are trying to discourage supporters from going when one of their primary roles is to get more bums on seats. Another huge own goal I'm afraid for which their justification is frankly embarrassing.

Not exactly FF or Roverstore but excellent work by the club and the players who visited the hospital.

Or something like 'tell that f****** conman he owes me 60 grand'.

Last season Tomasson has the measure of Martin as we did the double over Swansea. In the away match we sat in with a four and a five when they had the ball and the press was more intense when they crossed the half way line. We scored three on the counter and limited them to next to nothing. I think Tomasson will come up with a similar game plan with the emphasis on countering.

Rory Finneran is the youngest ever player in a match day squad for Rovers. Has he got massive feet or is it just the perspective of the picture? 😂😂

Scott Wharton was struggling with an injury just before he was substituted. His movement was definitely impaired although I noticed him on the pitch at full time. Hopefully precautionary as I thought last night was his best game for some time.

Moran and Szmodics each had a passing accuracy of around 67%. Woefully inadequate.

What a strange evening out that was. I'm delighted with the win as ever and it was a huge three points in light of the two defeats and a tough game coming up on Saturday. The irony is I believe that was one of our worst performances of the season and we have played much, much better and lost. In the first half I lost count of the number of awful touches from many players and the misplaced passes, we are far better than that. Going in at half-time one up was a real bonus for me. The second goal should have been game over and a nice, easy second half by just doing the basics right. We gifted them a goal, they made some positive substitutions and we were on the back foot and defending for our lives. Quite simply we almost shot ourselves in the foot with absolute carelessness and could quite easily have thrown two points away. Thankfully we held on and we really had Leo to thank for that. Tonight reminded of the Birmingham game when we were coasting at 3-0, should have had a clean sheet and nearly blew it. Tomasson should be alarmed by these two games and our switching off and almost throwing away what should have been comfortable victories. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh as it looked like the run of games finally caught up with some of our players. Significantly five of our outfield players were literally on their knees when the final whistle went. Butt most importantly we won. 😁😁

I'm happy to see that Nakhi Wells is out for them. He always seems to excel against us.

Excellent - super effort by everyone concerned but particularly the drivers.

Did I miss something yesterday. We started with Leonard and Szmodics up front. Last time I checked they were strikers.

I have a completely different definition of outclassed. We had some really good opportunities to score particularly from set pieces in the second half. The possession stats are in our favour as are shots and corners. Beaten, yes. Outclassed, never.

Well act it then.

Bloody hell how old are you?

But they didn't outclass us, that is simply wrong. We were always in the game and unfortunately got punished for some careless moments. You have singled out Carter but I thought he was really good today and our best defender. He defended well, stepped forward into midfield and even ran down the left wing. The way we play means that sometimes we will take risks and it's been like that for a good while now. Personally I am both accepting and enjoying it when it comes off. It's clear we are miles away in our opinions of how we played and simply cannot come anywhere near agreeing.

Tomasson's take on today.

With Sheffield United winning they draw level on points with that lot but have an inferior goal difference. If Everton best Chelsea tomorrow they will be seven points ahead of them and they play each other next Saturday.
