Really can’t see a win, so I’ll take a point.

How many we sold for this?

Not sure but by the sounds of it some are struggling to get there with train cancellations etc

Great time to play Stoke.

We are rolling and they have key absentees.

Unbelievably generous odds on Rovers' win at almost 3/1 on one of the exchanges.  Lumped on and fully expect Rovers' cash machine to keep paying out!  Also stuck a tenner on 3-1 to Rovers at 40/1.  Fill yer boots.

 

 

I've now dumped on Stoke to win, 20-0, rovers to get 4 red cards and Tony Mowbray to smile. Odds of 263636 to 1.

A win here today would be a big statement….. 2-0 Stoke. 😂

[SuperBrfc]

Big game feel about today, even though we're only in November. A win would be massive psychologically, getting one over a rival and putting us in the mix. Can we finally pull a win out against a decent side when the top 6 is in sight?

It's still a tough game even with their injury issues so I wouldn't be unhappy with a point. Turn up for one half only, like we have done recently and we will likely come away with nothing.

1-1.

That’s our Achilles heel, our inability to perform for more than a half at a time. We either fail to get going in the first half and spend the second half trying to catch up or we have a storming first half and spend the second half hanging on. It’s been like that throughout Mowbray’s time at Rovers.

This is gonna be a tight game, 1 goal either way I think. Draw quite likely.

Big game, the kind we usually lose. If we could somehow get a win today it would be a huge statement of progress.

Khadra with the start, I like it.  Otherwise, no big surprises. 

I am wary of playing teams above us on the table, with anything approaching expectations of a win. We shall see. 1-1

We could have done with him today. If it’s as windy in Stoke as it is up here the ball will be spending a lot of time in the air.

Big miss

[Ulrich]

Definitely, his organisation skills would have given us a better chance IMO.

van hecke back in the side,dolan dropped ???khadra starts,still can`t understand why carter is`nt on the bench,any injury to the 3 at the back and we are relying on johnson

[Ulrich]

The dropping of Dolan is just parnfor the course. Plays well, his tenacity creates a goal, so he is rewarded with the weekend off 👍 TM does this often and I'd have liked to have seen davenport play today.

Dolan not fully fit apparently. He came in for some rough treatment the other night.

Bit hard to pick a lineup before press conference news but it will probably be something like

Davies
Ostigard Batth Chester
Smith Sawyers Vrancic Tymon (or Thompson or Clucas depending on who's fit) Doughty
Brown Fletcher
 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Given the playing conditions more than normally it’ll be the team that want’s it the most that’ll thrive today.

Would think Dolan deserved a start.  Plonker Mowbary.
