Armstrong always wants to do well on home turf, and what harm if he puts himself in the shop window, 

Uhh, plenty of harm? He's our top scorer and we need him a lot more than we need a bit of money for flogging him.

Wonder if Armstrong is going to score a few own goals tonight to sabotage the team like he did on Saturday by waiting till Holtby was offside?

At no time have i written that Armstrong is trying to sabotage the team. He sure seemed to have a beef with Holtby. I have no inkling that Armstrong wants to leave and will pull a Duffy to do so.I think he'll want to shine for us in front of Newcastle fans.

I keep saying things like this as well, I told the missus yesterday that it was a glorious day to watch a Roses cricket match.... 

[Fraserkirky]

So us overseas-ers not got any options to watch? 

 

So Poor

 

[WacoRover]

Rovers with a heroic effort, alas,

2-1.

Rovers players to give it their all to impress against a Premier League side, lose anyway (possibly on penalties) then have too little left in the tank for Wycombe and balls that one up to (loss or draw).

There were murmurings that Newcastle wanted AA back. Wonder if there was anything in this and the reported '10 million' bid in for one of our players? Has looked a lil stroppy during preseason

And a repeat of the 1998 shootout, when a young David Dunn scored the last penalty for Rovers to win 4-2. Incidentally both teams missed a penalty during the game. A Shearer rarity when he ballooned one over the bar and Kenna had one saved in injury time.

Remember a load of us listening to the later stages of that at a mates house after 5 a side. He wasn't a rovers fan but we blagged him to put it on and all piled in when we were dropping him off.

Everybody asking who's that David Dunn !

[TruRover]

Is there a steaming service for tonight?

Good to see Dolan start.

I feel like Ritchie always scores past us. Almiron is pretty rapid too, which will be a problem.

Three Right Backs in Newcastles line up ..No Clean Sheet Newcastle

No Evans? Would have liked to see Davenport and Buckley start

 Rovers 0. That's fixed it. 

[roversfan99]

You take Armstrong out of that side with Dack also out and theres a massive lack of goal threat there.

Buckley and Wharton should have been given a game for me, possibly Davenport too.

[Trinidad Rover]

Armstrong most likely not playing to keep him out of the shop window.......

[davulsukur]

Big opportunity for BB playing as a striker.

[TugaysMarlboro]

If Evans is injured, this is why I'd get rid of him. He's probably one of our higher earners and we can't get 5 games on the trot out of him.

Probably trying the back 4 and Kaminski more understanding and use to playing together.

But presumably Williams and Bell are only keeping places warm for new signings themselves.

Bar Armstrong for Bereton arguably our strongest team available. I worry about us front and back. Up front no proven players albeit 2 talented youngsters. Armstrong could do with another player with experience to help take the burden off him this year (as well as Gally.)

At the back half is top 6 championship standard half is league 1 standard. Risky all round and shows a fair bit still needs doing to the squad.

If you buy a match pass, a fiver apiece goes to Rovers and Nuke, apparently. Daniela Ayala will need at least £15K a week, so your fiver will pay for 3.36 minutes of his time, assuming he's paid for every minute of the week, albeit before tax.

TM would have Evans or Johnson in for Rothwell every day of the week.

I'm in Anglesey on holiday and it's worked here right out in the sticks!

I'm in... good picture.
