So are Oxford I think.

Thanks. I was puzzled by that.

Commentators said Miller had been booked. I missed that but if correct wouldnt bet on him lasting the 90 mins.

You'd have thought he might be able to get a bit more oomph into them not having to run up a slope like he does at Ewood but no...... still the usual complimentary clearance for the opposition.

Great build up play from Ohashi, tame from Henriksson this time. Impressive start to the second half though from us.

I've heard it all now. He didnt get beaten, the guy hit the outside of the post. If you were being pedantic you could say Pears got his angles exactly right. I think Pears has been excellent so far today his positioning has been spot on throughout. Hope it continues in the second half, we're likely to need it.

Be quite interesting to see Baradji for a full half. Moreshita did nowt. Quite a good half from us after the first few mins but they cut through us like butter when they're on the attack. We'll do well to keep this to 0-0.

Id class it more as taking the piss out of the player.

I know but it's the rules innit. Or used to be. Maybe it's against their human rights or something.

Dragging him up to Middlesbrough (not even on the bench) is a carrot?

I didnt think you were allowed on the field of play with any necklaces or jewellery on. Bizarrely Hedges appeared to take it from around Cantwell's neck and put it in his glove for him.

Shocking from Ohashi again.

Flag up but another smart save from Pears.

Ohashi was poor there. What a ball from Litherland.

Wearing a sign saying "Im fully aligned. Give me my 600k".

It's thanks to Pears it's 0-0. Good save again. Some of our players look like they're running in slow motion next to the Boro lads.

You seem to be imagining that what you thought would happen when Pears came into the side did happen. It didn't.

Makes it up as he goes along to suit the agenda at any given point. Completely winging it.

No-one who can replace the one striker. An injury to Ohashi and we're in Tony Mowbray "Bradley Johnson as a false 9" type territory.

Devil's advocate mode: If we have a terrible January window, is it not too late to do it after that?

I only mentioned the 2023 thread not as a protest against e ticketing but mainly to demonstrate that the Club's disdain for the fans remains absolutely unchanged since 2023. There's been no improvement whatsoever in that respect. Chaddy has however successfully managed to divert the thread away from the general attitude of the Club and the main issue of whether fans will or will not be boycotting by getting us bogged down in an ultimately pointless debate about cash v cashless ticketing............... I apologise for my part in it.

Plus Forshaw who predictably is rarely available due to injury.

Does it matter? How many grounds in the top 2 divisions are over 70% empty?

I know, you repeat your opinion on each player every time someone posts their own. Just because you've repeated it so many times doesnt make it more or less valid than the first time you said it.

It's not really the cash or card aspect that's the main problem with Rovers though. It's the lack of availability, tickets being taken off sale days in advance and you can't just nip up on a spur of the moment decision to go along at the last minute and pay either by cash or card at the turnstile.
