I am beginning to think Dack will start.

He isn't.

As of 10.30 am Rotherham had sold 767 tickets with sales at Ewood up until kick off.

Just got off the phone to my Dad to arrange picking him up for the game (he's a ST holder btw):

Me: "right Dad, I'll pick you up about half one"

Dad: "don't bother. I'm not going. They pissed me off on Tuesday with that dicking around in our own penalty area shit!"

Take note JDT. If a ST holder takes this view, you've not much chance of many walk-ons.

On the plus side, we usually win if he doesn't attend, so COYB.

My mate was offered the spare season ticket in our group on Wednesday and he said the same thing. Tried him again this morning and he still said no.

Rovers better win then.

Should be 800+ so a decent effort by them and will probably nudge it over the 11.5k mark 🤨

I’ve always said Rovers should ask BRFCS for access to our data. I’ve attached the last 90 days worth of activity… people are losing interest, fast. 

Whilst I am not saying that a continuation of the borefests of recent weeks would cause a reduction in interest, surely a more reasonable conclusion to the above would be the closure of the transfer window? 

[AllRoverAsia]

Its painfully obvious how he got into football but I had wondered how Hirst bagged a move to Leicester from OH Leuven. Then it all became clear.

The board is filled with dread and negativity… means one thing. We will win today and go on a a run (the polar opposite of a death spiral) or do we need a 7-0er to get to there first

I'll walk naked to Blackpool Tower if we score seven without reply today.

I think the odds are stacked somewhat in favour of me and my todge remaining unembarrassed.

Alright, Darwen Tower. 

Same odds.

Unlike the fans, the man who counts gets to see and assess him in training before the game.

But the fans see the end product on match days and can make a reasoned judgement on that and he deserves to be in ahead of the players who haven't performed in the last few games.

Yeah but we had a period of time no matches played with the queen passing

I meant a 7-0er against us ha ha! In other words Fulham at home, in 2021 after that defeat we went on a heroic life spiral where we won loads on the trot

Be careful what we wish for, eh?!

Anyway, stranger things have happened.

Hoping for a better showing than last Tuesday  night. Shouldn't be difficult to improve on that particularly excruciating shower of shite.

2-1 Rovers Ayala and Adam Wharton on the scoresheet for us.

COYB!

[AllRoverAsia]

Oh dear me

So, apart from the end of the transfer window, the Queen’s passing and that over the last 19 days the trend has been upward, I think you are bang on that people are losing interest!

[roversfan99]

Strange side again. Hedges at right wing back over a right wing back he at least oversaw the signing of.

Szmodics again over Dack, presumably as a false 9? Morton over Adam Wharton?

[islander200]

Dack on the bench.Szmodic starts

Hedges back at RWB

[Paul Mellelieu]

I'm sat at home I'm afraid.  This means we might win.

[rock steady]

Anyone know why our fit again right wingback who has had a decent start to his Rovers career ain't playing and we are using someone out of position instead?

I don’t get it; the season has barely started and we have a lot to play for. And, we have a decent squad, and finally have a new head coach. 

I don’t mean for this to sound insulting, but Rovers fans who live in Lancashire, what replaces Rovers on their calendar?

It is always busier on here when the transfer window is open.

Hope Rotherham crunch szmodics early doors

JDT is going a long way to tossing all the initial good will that was coming his way into the garbage can with these Mowbray like decisions.

Spent money on a specialised right back/right wing back who has started well and he decides to drop him to play arguably our best attacker there out of position.

Still not given Dack a chance even after he at least showed something more than SS against Cardiff.

And no Wharton instead sticking with the tried and trusted. Tried and trusted being Morton and Travis who have failed in midfield for the last few games
