I put us in my accumulator for the first time in ages, I am on a run of about 5 failed accumulators because of Rovers letting me down. Hopefully it is a new dawn where I won't be living in fear of adding us anymore. 

I don't know about ye, but I have my friends texting me every weekend giving out that rovers let them down in their bets. I am like, I told ye not to do it... 

I never put Rovers or Burnley in my accumulators. I can't possibly be objective!

What if after the next international break we are 3 games behind, then there is another game called off because of bad weather? On top of us being a number of games behind the leaders  because of international breaks, we can really do without our games being called off because of the weather. 

Plus I want us to have  a game this weekend

I don't think that situation will ever develop because re-arranged games are supposed to be played at the earliest opportunity to avoid one or two clubs having masses of games in hand.

If we're miles behind the top 2 then it won't be because of games in hand or abandonments but because we haven't won enough.

Hopefully all theoretical and the game goes ahead no problems tomorrow!

I have been let down by us so many times. One game in particular against Newcastle under Kean springs to mind, I don't remember the score, but I remember Modeste was playing. We should have won, but missed a load of chances. I had a 7 team accumulator including 3 draws, would have won around €2500 euros from a fiver. I was a hollow shell devoid of emotion for a few days afterwards. Also added to how much I despised Kean. I can't remember having a winning bet on us since. 

The same season I had a fiver on Yakubu to score 2 or more against Utd at 60/1 in the game we lost 3-2 I think. That was nice.

When was the last time we won three league games in a row?

Don't think we did it in the Championship?

We won 3-2 and the Yak scored twice at old trafford and Hanley the other, the Yak was immense that day as was Samba

Hill - Rovers resources are 'massive' and we should be Champions... he said whilst listening to John Lennon's 'Mind games'.

Aye wasn't it Sir Alex's 70th birthday or summat?

Kean somehow managed a win at OT and a point at Anfield over that festive period, and we never heard the bloody last of it.

They saved him that Xmas I reckon so I would have happily lost them if it meant he left

We definitely did. I think it was the end of the 2013/14 season. 4 in a row anyone?!

[Billinge End Blue]

Shocking from December 1973..."At half time, players and referee had to run a gauntlet of snarling, spitting and cursing Rovers fans and police had to move in as some incensed fans invaded the directors' box."

rovers head coach Tony Mowbray looks ahead to facing Rochdale

[Colt Seavers]

I've noticed that Mowbray tends to refer to his players by their surname.

I like that!

[rossyrover]

We have to win at places like Rochdale if we are to be promoted no excuses.

It is supposed to rain all night and tomorrow morning, any chance of this being called off?

Looking at the forecast, I think that a postponement is very likely actually. It's forecast to rain heavily pretty much non-stop between now and 3:00pm tomorrow and Rochdale had a home game against Port Vale postponed due to a water-logged pitch last season.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

If I look out of my bay window I can see the floodlight pylons at Rochdale. . It's not raining in Rochdale at the moment and it's be fine since dinner time.

Well that's put the mockers on it.  Game postponed as of now.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

We need Mercer to put a bet on it being called off!

[darrenrover]

Hope the travelling fans have a great day and Mowbray and the boys put Rochdale to the sword as they should. No fannying around, go for the throat from the off and frighten the opposition to death. Let them worry about us.

WE Are The Rovers!!

4-0 Rovers.

 

[bazza]

Just tried to pick a team and here it is.

4-4-2

Raya; Caddis, Ward, Mulgrew, Williams; Chapman, Smallwood, Evans, Conway; Samuel, Nuttall

Subs: Canada GK; Downing, Bennett, Dack, Harper, Hart, Graham

Subs to be used should be Bennett, Dack, Graham but, if injury forces it, Downing and/or Hart.

[GreenRover]

2-0 to Rovers. Would love a clean sheet. Chapman to score either as a starter or sub and Graham to come on and score the second. A win tomorrow is essential and would be fantastic. Looking forward to it. ????

Hope Mulgrew is fit. Can't see him staring Nuttall but would love it if he did. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Judging by Samuel's Instagram videos of Dack diving about the place, the kid is definitely fit. I don't think he's mentally right though, looks an absolute fruit loop. Gazza esque.

Saw from Harry chapman's instagram that he was lodging with Danny Graham and Richie Smallwood. Richie was doin the cooking and Graham was thrown on the couch. Why am I not surprised ???

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Another very good following that will only increase in numbers if we are near the top and doing well as the season progresses.To see the thousands supporting the players should be motivation enough for them to win.

Three on the bounce and a winning mentality please Tony.
