Without searching online, I'd say from the second photo across that he has to be Brian Jensen's son.

Good job on figuring out who it was! I just can't bring myself to "like" your post, though. 😁

I actually know Brian Jensen quite well, and believe it or not despite the name and striking resemblance, he is no relation at all!

One of his boys has just signed for Everton this week.

Dundee tonight, should be interesting to see how we line up.

I thought I read somewhere that JDT said it wouldn't have been possible to play with 3 CM's across 2 games against Accy, so went with 3 CB's instead.

So, hopefully tonight gives us a bit more insight into how he wants to set up.

[MarkBRFC]

Sharpe hinting that he will play more of a "second 11" tonight with an eye on Saturdays fixture against Celtic being our "marquee" freindly.

Very much looking forward to Celtic on Saturday (tickets arrived yesterday).

Heading up on Friday and staying over in Glasgow.

How many are doubling up on the Dundee/Celtic trip?

On kit news, interesting to see us wearing a Navy away kit for the Dundee match, seeing as Dundee play in Navy themselves?

They'll be showcasing their own new away kit, no doubt.

I must say I've never agreed with us having a blue away shirt, despite the fact that a couple of them have actually been quite nice over the years.

Expecting a different system, spoke to an academy player who seemed to suggest there was 2 main ones in mind. Will probably fork out for the stream as well 😅

I’m at both games, can’t wait for tonight. My favourite team playing at my second favourite team. I love the city of Dundee and have been on Dens Park often. Please Rovers fans, don’t start chanting anti Scottish nonsense, and respect our hosts.

[Mattyblue]

Ha why would they ‘respect their hosts’?

Fans are Pavlovian…

’We are in Wales - ‘ Err sheep, sheep, sheep shaggers!’

All a bit juvenile, but that’s football fans.

Do you know if you can you watch the stream "on the fly" if you like? As in you pay and don't need to register with the Dundee website?

[chaddyrovers]

I think we line up like this 

             Pears 

JRC  Carter  Barnes  Edun

      A.Wharton Garrett 

Hegdes Butterworth Dolan 

                 Vale

[roversfan99]

A frightening prospect that the above is what lies behind our first 11 as things stand, and that first 11 presumably has players like James Brown, a never fit Daniel Ayala and Sam Gallagher in it!

Vale not in tonight's squad.

Interesting. Must either be injured, or they want to see what he can do against a team like Celtic.

[BankEnd Rover]

Interested in the lineup tonight, I’m thinking it’s maybe JDTs 2nd team & Saturdays line up against Celtic are the current, preferred 11.

Curious for Markanday, hopefully he shines tonight and can prove his worth.

Feel Hedges will score tonight.

Hedges captain for the night.

[bazza]

Who is Harry Leonard?

[Madon]

Has anyone managed to buy the stream? It's only giving me the option of 'pay with stripe'

U18s forward.

U18s striker last season. Should be moving into U21s this year. Surprised to see he starts ahead of Burns and Butterworth

[davulsukur]

Interesting lineup. Thought Markanday might play against Celtic tbh.

Click on that and enter your card details.

Currently no audio on the stream 😑

Can you pay with Red Stripe?

[bluebruce]

Sharpe says plenty of scouts in attendance to look at Rovers' youngsters. Hopefully Magloire plays well and somebody takes him off our hands.

I don't understand what is happening with Burns.
