Few nice passes from Buckley when he’s had space, but otherwise it feels like he is a passenger in a game like this when it gets scrappy, they cut through the middle quite easily and he can look slow and lethargic. I’d look at either moving JRC there and bringing on Brittain, or bringing on Garrett for him and get stuck in a bit more.

Crowd sound more entertained by something else

Refs obviously forgot the rules

They’re a very good team as we already knew. Berge probably the best player in the league.

WE ARE FUCKING CLASS

Pitch is looking better than usual

Pretty happy with that team. 3 points here and we can pretty much draw our way to a playoff spot. Let’s get it done Rovers!

Oh yeah it would be a brilliant trio - but can’t help feel only 1 spot is up for grabs with Bournemouth and Southampton

First train from Blackburn is 08:09 - 11:38 with 3 changes so with the walk on the other side you’ll just make the whistle whilst enjoying nothing but the train journey. First proper train without ridiculous hassle is 09:04 - 11:54 with just 1 change. Laughable really isn’t it 12pm. At least move them all back one hour and start it at 1pm.

It’s a shame that I really want Leeds or West Ham or Everton to get relegated as Steve Cooper is really starting to piss me off with his holier-than-thou act

Pears Brittain Carter Hyam Pickering JRC Travis Thomas Szmodics Dolan Gallagher/Diaz* *whoever is fittest, if neither then Hedges and rotating front 4

The highlight of their history is a few old funny Neil Warnock videos and a cricket match Given the transfer cheating which the EFL are destined to do nothing about I'd love them to drop out of the top 2. Not much is ever said about them being ruled by Saudis unlike Newcastle.

8 games in April now. Lets hope it doesn't become our new February.

Also means only a section of the Darwen End they can smash up. Would mean no Rovers below for obvious reasons.

3 days after our FA Cup Semi-Final victory, more fitting for us to get a guard of honour

For what it's worth, opening odds suggest chance of progression stands at 70% Sheffield United and 30% Rovers. Feels about right given the home draw.

That was the semi-final last year with an allocation of 35k (30k for the final and more expensive £45, £70, £115, £145 for the 4 categories) Not bad having 44% of tickets (~16k) at £45 or less

Yeah good shout, that would be the same as last season too. That Arsenal game isn't televised either, so more flex for FA cup viewing figures. Sunday games were 12:30, 15:00 and 18:00 last year. Unless they add in a Saturday evening match this year at 19:45

We know there won't be a Friday or Monday game as all QFs have a team playing on Wed or Thu then the week after is Int Break. United play Thursday night away in Betis, so they'll 100% be Sunday, which means City v Dingles will be Saturday. Toss up where ourselves and Brighton v Grimsby fall I guess, though I'd imagine even if it is Sunday they'll want United to be the last game (usually BBC), with the draw after it, rather than an all-Championship affair. So i'll go with a Saturday match for us, so long as the police are happy with Burnley and Rovers fans playing on Saturday (albeit both away from home), either that or an early Sunday KO (nice Mothers Day present)

Has that 6k been announced? I thought it was 15% of capacity so 4.8k. I’d imagine we’ll be Sunday. United play Thursday night so will be Sunday meaning City will have to be Saturday. Which would also keep ourselves and Burnley separate. Edit: looks like it’s based on Spurs match who got 15% originally then additional 1.2k or so afterwards.

2 x BBC and 2 x ITV I think

So who do we want out of City, United or Brighton at Wembley?

A bit shit in reality. But, it’s still very winnable albeit not glamorous. Saturday will be a nice warm up!

My preference Grimsby home or away Sheffield United at home Then would take anyone but City at home Avoid - Brighton away and City home or away Can imagine we get Brighton away while a Manchester club gets Grimsby and Burnley get Sheffield United at home

It did surprise me I can only remember 1 rendition of "JDTs blue and white army" last night. That would have been on loop for managers in the past.
