Fulham, concentrating on the league. 

never understood that mentality,it`s not like they are going to win it or finish in the top 4

[roverandout]

Rovers look completely on tip according to stats. Need to make it count

TBF looking at tonight's lineup so are Blackburn Rovers but the reserves didn't read the script.

 

[bazza]

We need another goal to kill it off.

[TruRover]

Markandy and Dack to start on the weekend? 

[WacoRover]

Wondering if Garrett could be useful to 1st team in the near future…

Apparently Dack has 5 goals and 6 assists in 5 appearances in this cup. Far too good for lower league sides. Especially considering most of those will have been under Mowbray where we routinely lost at the 1st or 2nd time of asking!

[Andy]

I've only seen the goals, but I'd be interested to know how Morton got on at CB.

Hopefully we kill this one off now, looks as though we've dominated from start to finish - which I expected, with the likes of Dack against League 2 opposition.

I'm thinking it's pretty certain one of Morton, Garrett or Wharton are going to get a start alongside Buckley and Travis on Saturday 

I also wonder if JDT will also have a think about starting Morton at the back alongside Ayala if Phillips isn't totally fit.

Hope someone who was present does player ratings after the game so we know how they all got on.

Listening on bbc Lancashire (tunes in 2nd half) Commentary has not made Edun sound good so far

I'd say that's only pretty certain if the formation involves a midfield 3.

I really didn't expect it. Thought it would be an aerial physical game and we'd lose pretty comfortably. Dack is literally the only established played out there.

Really pleased we are doing so well, though it does seem that weirdly Bradford haven't been bombing it at our makeshift centrebacks.

[BankEnd Rover]

Battering them here…need another goal or I can see them snatching one.

[neophox]

we can always put on the cavalery last 15 mins...

[ItsRoverZ]

Don't get hit by the sucker punch, need a 3rd here

they can`t do **** all if we keep possesion,which we are pretty good at

[neophox]

Brereton and Phillips to come on for last 15 mins.

[Crozzy]

Sounds like Philips and BBD coming on

[Crozzy]

Wonder if Dacks coming off because he will start Saturday.

Defenders can't have a bad game if they're given nothing to do.

[chaddyrovers]

BBD and Phillips on for Dack and Markanday

[J*B]

Really confused as to why Dack comes off.

Reckon probably we go 4231 with Buckley in the 10 and with Travis alongside one of Wharton / Garrett / Morton. Then ask Buckley to drop in and help out so we don't get outnumbered like Reading and Sheff Utd.

[chaddyrovers]

gone back 5 now @inflikted
