v Stoke City (a) - 27/11/21

[PotterLog]

I’m the end we went with:

 

Davies 

Wilmot
Batth 
Chester 

Smith
Sawyers
Tymon 
Vrancic
Fox 

Campbell
Brown

 

Nice to see Campbell back in the starting XI but very worried about BBD getting at Chester and Fox, as well as our midfield.

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

I'm torn.

It's nosebleed time so we'll probably lose - however he's once again stumbled on a formation / starting XI that works and has only tinkered due to injuries. It must be killing him. 

[Paul Mellelieu]

No idea at all how this one will go.....but if pushed I'd say a narrow defeat.

[Derbyshire Blue]

Is it not on Rovers TV today?

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

Carter just Mowbary doing what he does, work on breaking down the young uns confidence.

Would think Dolan deserved a start.  Plonker Mowbary.

I actually agree with Mowbray this time. Think it is better to start him on the bench and use him as an impact-sub in 2nd half _if_ Stoke seem to tire. Stoke is the kind of team where I don't see a player like Dolan doing much good to be honest. 

Kinda nervous about this game so expecting a loss. A win would mean the best saturday in a long long time and the preferred reading material for the rest of the evening would be the Championship table so........COYB!

It should be, but I got nothing. So infuriating.

[Miker]

This feels like a big game to me. Too many times we’ve been in a position where winning a match would be a statement of intent but we have ended up wasting that opportunity every time. 

Winning here would prove that the team can perform under pressure and deliver when it matters. If we can win here I will believe that we can genuinely push for promotion this season.

Good luck to the boys, make us proud!

No, I shouldn't think Tinker Tony will be at all bothered by that.

Carter isn't fit?

[Cherry Blue]

Fantastic support at the ground!!

[Angry_Pirate]

Anyone else getting (annoying) Stoke commentary instead of (annoying) Rovers commentary?

[perthblue02]

They are showing the Huddesfield game in Aus, so should be on Rovers TV, no link though to watch it

He isn't 100% but fit enough for a spot on the bench....

How are you listening/watching? There's no buttons at the min

[Rovers123234]

why is it not on Rovers TV for foreign fans? Its not on TV either

[perthblue02]

Link for video just appeared on the match centre on Rovers TV

[Tugay-is-God]

It's not even showing the commentary option for me, which it normally does even if they don't have the video rights for a game.

EDIT: scrap that, it just appeared.

A fellow American, an Ohio Rover, is doing the watch along on Rovers Chat, glad to hear from him. Cheers, mate!

Worried about Van Hecke in the middle of the three CB's.

[Derbyshire Blue]

After checking round the net… it’s actually on Rovers TV

: )

[West Yorks Rover]

Stoke on top, sending in some dangerous crosses.

Brereton close there!
