You simply miss the point.  Seems you are not intelligent enough to see it.

I saw the more important one!

Not sure it is, my planner has IPL cricket on SS mix. May be an error on there though.

Very nervous heading to Brentford now. One last push see you all there

As I set off for Ashton Gate

A thought for all you Rovers Fans

Very Best of Luck

 

Im nervous and we're not in danger !

Hope our lads do you a favour - sell out crowd well up for it

Not sure if I'm reading too much into it, but I once had a ground tour and they said only the first 11 have their shirts out in the dressing room...

the rovers Instagram have just posted a picture showing the following shirts out:

Bennett, Conway, Raya, Ward, Emnes, Joao, Gallagher, Akpan. 

To put that into context, we can assume Lowe is playing so..

Raya

? Ward ?

bennett Lowe akpan conway

joao Gallagher emnes

We have to go out and be positive today. If we can get an early goal, it shifts the pressure on to the others. I'm not saying go gung-ho, but we need to have some positivity in there. A stat on the radio last week was 1 goal in 150 games from Lowe and Guthrie, for me therefore I'd be tempted to put someone like Bennett in that role, which at least gives the ability to get forward from central midfield.

 

Come On You Blues!!!!!

Moving forwards on that theory, last game we had Williams and Mulgrew at the back, so something like:

Raya

Ward Mulgrew Williams

Bennett Lowe Akpan Conway

Joao Gallagher Emnes 

seems strange to leave out Graham though after building him up all week.

Good luck today lads. Bit of a tough game to finish with but fingers crossed you can sneak a win and Birmingham disappear in to the lower leagues forever!

Similar question from me. I can't make it to the game today but want to watch (must have some masochistic tendencies?!) 

I have Sky but not Sky Sports. It doesn't look like it is Free to Air today (on SS5) unless anyone knows differently? Thinking of quickly setting up a Now TV day pass so I can see the game. Can anyone recommend this? PM if needs be - thank you for any quick responses.

Oh and respect and best wishes to the big away support today. I hope for all of us you have a great time today. But I'm predicting a draw and relegation. I just can't see us getting out of the mess that the club/Venky's has created for itself :-(

Sing your heart out, the team will need you. 

League One could finish us.

We need luck and favours from elsewhere. I'd be feeling a lot more at ease if our fate was soley in our own hands.

We should never be in the position, but all that is for after the game.

Wherever you are, I'm sure you'll get behind the team.

That beautiful shirt means everything to us.

It holds treasured happy memories. We have a lot to be thankful for.

Desperate for Rovers to survive, for many reasons. The good people at the club, our friends and families and sparing special reflections of those who have passed away to whom Rovers meant the world.

Our beautiful blue and white halves have meant so much to all of us, and we should never lose sight of that.

Good luck everyone.

No changes...

Emnes and Joao on at half time if it's not going as we need it to

We're keeping it tight again.  I'dve gone for the unpredictable Joao and Marvin, but I'm not the manager  (yet)

Mowbray does not trust this squad one bit.

Hope we don't get any injuries then.

Huddersfield make 9 changes bringing back their big boys making a mockery of their claim of resting people for play offs

Team news has been released and as promised, Mercer is leaving #AsThingsStand

Not how I'd plan things but it's what I'd do if we need it 

I would have played at least one of them today

Not disagreeing with you but it's hard to bring on the players you need to score goals if a couple of defenders go off early on. Ah well.

Not confident at all.

And there I was thinking Mahoney could be our match winner.

This keep it tight and grab a second half winner won't work against Brentford. We need to use the crowd, not alienate them..
