Interesting Comments from Rowett,seems to be saying maybe we didn't want to play because BBD was out injured.

He is saying essentially what the more objective posters on here have said.

Presumably then also his mind would have been on his journey home as well? As it happens it would probably have been fine, even an hour later than he would have planned but he wouldn't have known that at 2.15.

Would there have been an option in that situation (of the ref feeling stressed) for him to swap with the 4th official?

There would be yes but I honestly wouldn't expect him to not referee the game by admitting to being stressed. He would have had an option to stay locally on Friday night too but chose to drive on the day. That was a little foolhardy in my view given the forecast and knowing it could be a treacherous drive particularly if he came over Blubberhouses.

This now means we have three very winnable home games in a row:

Millwall (8th) / Bristol City (12th) / Derby County (15th).

Have to be targeting 9 points there to really get us going again.
