Billy Wilson, Keith Newton and Ronnie Clayton "in the trenches" as Rovers prepare to face Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood Park in March 1966. Presume this was the FA Cup match which we lost?

Barnsley now 9 wins out of 10....... 27 points out of 30. January signing Darryl Dike, a 20-year-old from the US, is their star. How did our world-beating scouting system miss him?

That was excruciating to watch. Both teams could have played till midnight and neither would have scored. I'm sick of this pseudo-Barcelona / Pep obsession with passing. Bring back 2 wingers and an old fashioned centre forward!

As an exercise in passing, it's been great. Don't they realise the idea is to score goals?

77 minutes that would have been better spent looking at my stamp collection

Has the Brizzle keeper made a save yet?

Actually fell asleep for 5 minutes. At the time, we were passing it around in our own half; when I woke up we were still passing it around in our own half

Lots of possession but it never amounts to much. Flattering to deceive as always.

Kathleen Harrison. Died at the age of 103 in 1995, obviously waited for us to win the title

Not another match ....... would someone end the season now please? The team, the formation, the performance, are meaningless. This has been a desperately disappointing season; the players and the manager are clearly not up to the job. We've taken 5 points out of 30 (I think); most managers would have been sacked or resigned out of shame by now. So to be contrary it's odds-on we'll beat Brizzle and the players will do it for "Dacky" While I have deep sympathy for the player, it won't be a reason to celebrate

5 points out of 30 Any other club......

Those 2 penalty decisions against us were diabolical.

Referee is from London. Did he come up here on the Brentford coach?

Soft rubbish penalty for them Clear penalty denied for us Tony's got to have a go after the game

That was more of a penalty than theirs

It's very noticeable.

Toney's from Northampton. Or do you mean non-black?

Leave him alone. He's leading the charge

Rothwell leading the charge by hoofing the ball out of play

Are you watching Coronation Street?

Even in the worst days in the 1960s and 1970s I don't think I ever saw Rovers not have a shot on target in 45 minutes

If we lose this that'll be 5 points out of 30 How many managers would survive that?

..... add another 7 players to that

Blimey, this is poor. Brentford have done some homework on our new formation

Yep. I've seen enough. Brentford will get a 2nd here if we don't get into this game
