This will be the third Rovers game in a row I get on ESPN+. I sincerely doubt it will be a different result than the first two. 

But, what to do? I will have it on, 1:30 cst, because it’s not enough simply to know there’s going to be a train wreck, we’ve got to see it for ourselves. 
 

CoyB! 

I'll be watching. It may be a bit of comedown after weeks of World Cup matches. I completely forgot about the PNE game but it surely can't be worse than the second half at Turf Moor?

I will watch it until the first goal goes in, then make a decision on staying or continuing my Poirot rewatch binge.

How is there even a choice between rovers and poirot? 

Poirot every time.

Safe journey to the Rovers fans making the trip today. Every single one of you are a credit to the club and the town for making this trip in these conditions.

I hope you bring the points back with you.

This won't be pretty. Norwich will set traps and have the ability to destroy us. I'm going 4-1. 

[RTM08]

3 or 4-0 to Norwich for me. We're awful away from home and they have a manager with brain cells. Another game where we have about 2 shots off target all game but it will be hailed as positive because we're a "young team".

[Nuttall is lost]

Cheer up lads.  Christmas is the time of miracles.  Who knows, come 7pm we might be celebrating a famous draw.

[only2garners]

If I’m celebrating at 7pm I will be ecstatic, as the game won’t finish until c7.25.

It's on at 17.30 here so it should be on at 11.30 CST, not 13.30. Or was that your plan, to deliberately miss it?

Let it go man. Time is a meaningless concept.

Some surprising names on this list…

[Sweaty Gussets]

Just watching Norwich batter Nottm F on the Big Match Revisited from 1975. Just one of many portents of doom ahead of our visit to Carrow Road.

For that reason I think we'll win.

JDT, tactical genius, re-born at Christmas. 

 

[DE.]

About to start heading up to Norwich, hoping at the very least we can achieve our first draw of the season. Praying we don't get hammered as I'm having to sit with the home supporters.

Made the same trip in Feb 1993 ..again for a game on Sky on the Sunday!

10 mile from Norwich we suddenly hit snow ..wtf..??? ..driver of coach says theres a bloody pitch inspection ..😂

Game went ahead (only because of Sky i think) and orange ball in play !

Score ? 0-0 ..when youre young and stupid ..

[Gav]

Is that Sutton trying to catch Newell? Playing in his original position of centre back?

Its Sutton ..but he was playing as a forward that day.

Ian Culverhouse and John Polston at CBs for Norwich

Get the green things out of there for a start,horrible food sprouts

[Hannoverover]

Apologies in advance, but this will be the 3rd game in a row I've watched.... surely can't be worse than the last two.

Going for a fired up Rovers winning 2-0.

I'm not sure the current management allow Rovers to be "fired up"? 🤔🤞

[ItsRoverZ]

Another big defeat for rovers tonight I feel 

I see qpr having no problems keeping Preston at bay and now 1 up 

Rovers death spiral to continue for a few more matches while JDT persists with our shocking style of play 

[chaddyrovers]

Back 4 tonight and 4-2-3-1 formation 

[Cherry Blue]

Playing back 4 but whose captain?

 

[roversfan99]

Why has Adam Wharton AGAIN missed out on the squad and Morton again starts? Must be part of the loan agreement.

Glad to see Dack start, Rankin Costello is a huge worry.

Always an unhappy experience getting beaten, whilst sitting with the home fans. Remember to stand up if they score and stay seated if we do!! I remember jumping up at Old Trafford when Blake scored in the 3-2 defeat down to ten men and about 25 000 United fans glaring at me.
