I would have thought that route will take well over 4 hours.

About 4.5 according to Google maps. Think we're going via M50 on the way down and will come back via Oswestry to avoid motorway closures.

Tough game. A point would be a good return but hopefully we are full of confidence after beating Leeds, so you never know, might just nick a win.

Nearer to five I would have thought. I too am thinking of going down that way but I almost certainly will come back that way to avoid any unannounced night motorway closures.

Just did us to win 1-0 and Armstrong to score. 20/1

[darrenrover]

I'd be thrilled with a 4 point return from tonight and Saturday, however it came about. Truly ecstatic, orgasmic even, were it to yield all 6!

I've a sneaking feeling it might.......

COME ON YOU BLUES!!! (decided against it in the 'liberalist' world in which we live)

Or M6, M56, M53 and then the a483 Chester to Swansea. That’s the way I am going as the M6 is just a nightmare. I reckon I can do it in just over 4 hours. 

I live just outside Chester and AA route finder says 3 hrs 52 mins. Still a better option than the M6, especially Jcts 19-16.

Remember a good drink close to ground with Rovers supporters. Then amazing match with some players almost fighting with Kean on sidelines; think Nzonzi refused to come on as sub. Defence arguing with 'management' and my neutral mate commenting that we were a 'shambles'. I then went to West Brom away(our last Prem League match?) and we were even worse.

Brereton to score the winner?

This was another game when serious suspicions about what Kean was really up to bubbled to the surface yet again. Players clearly not happy with their instructions to basically not offer an attack.

That guy was as dodgy as they come, match fixing by basically just employing awful tactics, selections, formations and subs ?  You don't need players on the take if you have the power to go about it like that ####### scumbag did !!!!

Hope Rovers exercise the demons of that day a bit tonight and give the travellers a good night. COYB

Kean Out !

[Ossydave]

They've only won once in their last 6 so not exactly flying. That said, anything but defeat would be considered a success in my eyes

Nah our last 2 away games were against Spuds where we infamously had no attempts at goal despite that tunt saying "Wor stats were good" and then Chelsea away after Wigan sent us down. Seem to remember beating West Brom when Kalinic scored 2 then got sent off and never featured again?  May be wrong on that one

Was that the game where Ray Wilkins was stunned into silence by Kean's post-match interview?

I am not taking the piss or anything but has Brereton attempted any shots towards the goal so far?

Impossible to judge him on that yet really until they get him operating in the middle.

[CD_93]

Unchanged team so let’s hope for some consistency!

[roversfan99]

Would have personally brought in Rodwell and Williams for Smallwood and Bell but cant complain with an unchanged team and glad to see Graham and Reed fit.

Ha ha yes I think you are right! Think Ray was disgusted that a team supposedly fighting for survival never had an "offensive' attempt over 90 minutes

I'm afraid it's another Rivers down to earth with a bump game.  We are do good at letting ourselves down right when things are really looking up.  I'll take a point now.  Snatch all 3 I'll be over the moon.

A true Rover with lots of experience?

[darrenrover]

Come on Rovers, up and at 'em from the off.

COYB!!!!

Nervous about this one, would take a draw if someone offered it me now.
