I have a subscription but prefer to read the text on BBC than listen to the commentary 🤣

There's something I love about listening to games, got a very nostalgic feeling

Aye, although I'd have put a CB on personally, Pickering is a first teamer too. Annesley perhaps, although might have been premature at 1 up, makes sense now though.

Think he wants the fitness first for Pickering... good him getting games.

WEMBLEY….WEMBLEY!

Steady, lad

[neophox]

Think both Smoodizs and Batty will come on at some point.

[BillC]

Who would have predicted a centre back partnership of Ash Philips and Harry Pickering?

If you're talking about Radio Lancs, totally disagree. The two commentators are good.

Seems JDT has urged us to step up after a dull first half.

Kill the game off! 

When's the All or Nothing: Blackburn docu-series out? 

[Ossydave]

Exactly what this cup should be used for, I'd go as far as to say we'd have lost this under Mowbray. 

Good to know we've got some reliable players waiting in the wings.

Fingers crossed for a decent draw....

Dack is finished, he’ll never come back, we’ll never see him in a Rovers shirt again, going out on loan…….

Another load of Bullshit, courtesy of Brfcs, good goal Bradley, takes a certain level of fitness to get on the end of that.

Pickering shouldn't have any less fitness than anyone else. He has been playing.

[neophox]

Can we hope for a 20.000+ crowd on sunday?

That's not a bad effort for a 1st round (for us) evening game in sweltering heat.

[martonrover]

What’s going on here? No ignominious first round exit. Disgraceful 😉

Respectable turnout that, from both sides.

If he looks slow it's because he's slow, not because he hasn't had every bit as much match time this summer as he should have.

A cup run would be a very nice change of pace. Not won a solitary game in the FA cup since beating the mighty Crewe in 2017. The league cup has only been marginally better but still with first round defeats to Goliath’s morecambe, Shrewsbury, Scunthorpe and Carlisle.

The last decent league cup run was when “forfeited” the quarter final at Cardiff 10 years ago under the porcine turd. The last decent fa cup run was when kept sticking it on shittu’s head for 90 mins at ewood. In theory beating an “inferior” Millwall at home meant a semi final Wembley outing vs Wigan (fair dos they beat citeh in the final) still not got over that one a great chance for an fa cup final.
