Common sense prevails

Good that the game Is on. I'd say this is a must win. We need some momentum back. Simple formation with players in their preferred position.   

                     Kaminski

       Lenhian van hecke wharton

Nyambe                                       Giles

             Travis   rothwell  Buckley

                  Gallagher   Dolan

[Boroblue]

Praise the Lord. Game off and I was on bedroom painting duty. That was a narrow escape

[G Somerset Rover]

Good to see it on. BBD looking like he’s out for quite some time (see Mellor’s latest post), our form, the weather. Someone needs to stand up and be a hero today to get us back on track. Must win. COYB.

I’d swap Buckley and Rothwell around position wise. Chances are that won’t be the team though.

I presume they’ve had a look at the forecast for this afternoon and it’s clear. It’s stopped snowing here anyway.

[garnersfags]

Unluckily, again, some will have decided not to risk it. Some roads still treacherous. 

Things have conspired against us in terms of attendances, since xmas. 

With a following, fair wind, we could have expected to be up to 16,000 home fans by now, but covid, weather, bloody Sky Sports etc. have all impacted attendances...

Will be a weird atmosphere, but we just need two of our forward flat-liners to give us a performance, to ignite the crowd. 

COYB!!!

As far as I can see the Met Office forecast has been spot on today - rain/sleet turning to snow for a bit before stopping between 12 and 1 and warming up a bit.

[arbitro]

Snow on the ground around Ewood - where's a Venky when you need one. 😁😁😁😁

I am just having a coffee and then a long trek to Ewood. Not that confident at the moment Diaz out the others firing blanks. Hopefully a rovers win and back on track.

[arbitro]

Pickering, Lenihan and Khadra to start?

[ItsRoverZ]

We don't normally do well against physical teams like Millwall and I fear they could bully us today especially in the middle of the pitch 

I'm expecting a weird line up too for some reason 

[G Somerset Rover]

Hudds 2-0 up away to Fulham. It’s getting so congested behind us now. We simply have to win today - no two ways about it. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Looking at the pictures of the pitch from earlier, do we not have undersoil heating any more then? 

 

 

[Mercer]

Some perspective needed.

We are playing an injury plagued 14th placed Millwall at home and we have aspirations of promotion.

This should be no contest and a comfortable 3 points.

Rovers' win at evens is great value - get on it!

Maybe they didn’t want the snow to melt and soak the pitch ?

Guaranteed loss then, lads. 

[superniko]

Do we not have a cover for the pitch?
I know the snow may have been a bit unpredictable, but I always think the same for heavy rain. 

[roversfan99]

Absolute shambles. If there is such clear doubt it should have been called off before. 45 minutes before kick off would be embarassing and piss poor.

FFS. Just please start predicting Rovers losses again. It’s a sure fire win for us then.
