    Thanks for your wonderful insight. They are playing against the same 11 that have won every Europa league game not fucking Wigan athletic or Coventry where we surrendered like frightened mice. Stick to rugby union pal

    You mean against the mighty Silkeborg and FCSB *checks google* it’s Bucharest ?

    Edit: I agree with your general premise that they’re a far better 11 but not sure the Europe (its Europa Conference too) comment stands up much

    Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Kane I think pick themselves at the moment.

    God only knows for the other 6 given injuries, form and formations. (EDIT: probably should add Trippier in given form and injuries to every other capable RB)

    I do find it strange how Coady appears to be the preference for most people ahead of Tarkowski. The latter has had a fantastic season so far, he's had most blocks and 3rd most clearances in the league. Certainly deserves to be there ahead of Maguire.

    Season tickets 2022/23

    Preston ticket details...

    https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/november/09/ticket-news--rovers-v-preston-north-end/

    I know they stated at the beginning of the season that all derby games would start at £30, but Christ it's a poor do.

    The club will have received somewhere between £50-100k for moving the kick off to 12pm on Sky.

    Never expected anything different, but anybody with an ounce of sense would have used that cash to offset the prices with the position we are in.

    We could be going into that game top, after 3 weekends with no football. What could have been something up to 25k will probably settle around the 18k mark.

    Another huge missed opportunity in what is all too common in Waggots reign.

    They also fail to mention in the article that 1875 members can get £5 off, unless that has been put in the "all midweek games will be £20" file and forgotten about.

    I work in a company (industry) where they have a "Gold Week" so to speak after there is a bit of a gap in expected revenue. i.e. Big offers, not expecting short-term profit, to get customers back onto your product after a time your industry has lapsed.

    We will have a few weeks gap with nobody coming to Ewood and the first game back should be one we target for a big offer to drive a huge crowd to avoid churn of customers (thousands of fans are going to have a few weeks spending Saturday differently and you have to be proactive to reengage them). 

    Without over-exaggerating, the PNE game and Christmas period is not far behind the build up to start of season in terms of engaging our fan base, and avoiding a churn of customers.

    v The Dingles (a) - 13/11/2022

    Broadly agree.

    Back 5 should be pretty straightforward (though I do wonder if JDT will fancy putting Hedges at RWB?)

    Front 2 absolutely nailed down. 

    Midfield 3.... hmmm. Lots of options, not really sure who it will be. Morton always plays. But the other two spots there is a real argument for. Two places up for grabs and could be any of Adam Wharton, Travis, Szmodics, Hedges. Wouldn't be that surprised given the curve balls is Garrett made an appearance.

    I think if I had to guess now what JDT will go for  : 

                         Kaminski

              Hyam    Ayala   S.Wharton

    Hedges                                 Pickering

             Travis  Morton  A Wharton

            Gallagher     Brereton-Diaz

     

    Hedges one on one defending at RWB has been very good. He's a big physicals presence too. So I can see JDT going for it. Adam Wharton has been brilliant, will probably not play Wednesday, so will have had 10 days rest so think he will start.

    I’d probably go for that team but Hedges LWB and Brittain RWB

                           Kaminski

                Hyam    Ayala   Wharton

    Brittain                                       Hedges

                Morton  Travis  Wharton

              Gallagher       Brereton-Diaz


    I don’t rate Travis and would rather see Dack (even Szmodics) in there but it’s never going to happen with JDT so kept it realistic

    Guess we'll know in exactly 8 days.

    But for me it's more are they beatable....by us....in an away match.....considering the recent history and current form.

    And my brain can't help but spit out a resounding no.

    Yeah very much this, these two teams are pretty clear of the field for me. 
    Hopefully we’re taking a few clues though. Their defence is pretty average and can’t win a header and the keeper couldn’t hold a pint

    On a positive note, a win for us and the Blades this Saturday and then we beat the Dingles in the 15th minute of Kompany time and we go into the World Cup break top of the league. Simples 😜

    I thought this myself - but just noticed Sheffield United and QPR both have their games in hand whilst we play West Ham….unfortunately I think it’s more likely we’ll be clinging onto the playoffs instead!

    Lads I'm over the weekend for the Hudds game. What's the craic with the trains? I'm staying in Manchester, is there any running or all cancelled for the day? Conflicting messages on the rail websites. Any advice be great.

    Saturday is a strike day - judging by trainline there are no trains running.

    If that's the case then either:

    1) Taxi

    2) Get into Manchester City Centre (Tram or maybe a train will run there) then get a Bus from Manchester to Blackburn. The Witchway bus runs around there. Might have to find your way from Rawtenstall though.
