 In summer I’d like a whole brand of CMs with trav & Morton away (trav for a decent fee) Keep A Wharton along with a new CDM x2 with Buckley as backup.

 

Buckley just as backup?

Does anybody know what time the game will be put on RoversTV today/tomorrow?

[Sweaty Gussets]

We last sored 3 against the mighty Rotherham in October. 

I'm hoping for a scrappy 1-0 or 2-1 win. It's normally the best we can hope for. 

If we want to stay in the play-off hunt we really do need 3 points today.

Yeap, for some reason I see this being an easier game than Blackpool. Must win game imo

[benhben]

Hopefully the BBD goal will help him get his mojo back. Swansea will have a lot of the ball, that's how they play. In a way it would suit our forwards to play on the counter but likely JDT will want to match Swansea possession style.

Britain back also helps IMO even if JRC has been ok lately. We're desperately devoid of anything in CM though.

Just noticed only 4 teams have scored more goals than Swansea in the Championship this season.  Likewise only 4 have conceded more.

Depends on which country you are watching from. I'm in Sweden so here it's a 4pm kick off. 

[Miller11]

Rumour mill saying 5 at the back with Dack on the bench. 

[RoversTilliDie]

I hear Man United are joining there neighbours in the Billionaire club. They Should change there name from Manchester to Saudi Arabia. The rest of us will just be making the numbers up. 5-0 to skint Rovers.

In the 2nd half of the season teams suss you out, its showed in 1 or 2 games we've played. We should change our tactics in the 2nd half of the season.

[ElTwis]

JDT has been hinting Dack needs a rest so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see Dack on the bench. If Wharton is out but we're 5 at the back I wonder if it's Ayala or Phillips accompanying Carter and Hyam

[Bethnal]

Watching Millwall battle (literally and figuratively) their way to a deserved victory against overhyped Sheff Utd (my opinion, mind, but they look a side destined for 20 heavy losses in the top flight) is both inspiring and frustrating. A team of grafters (save a couple of visible kids). I’d love to see that kind of mettle in our squad, in a way.

Edit: BBD has found his shooting boots and I think Swansea have a PTSD episode from the game at their place. We nearly bottle it late, but catch them on the break to seal it. 4-2 Rovers.

Dack dropped. I did feel he was one underwhelming performance away from being dropped.

Seems quite a defensive side.

That is my 100% favourite ever Shearer goal at Ewood.

Will we ever see the like again?

Probably not this afternoon!

COYB! That's how it is done 🙂

[superniko]

Not sure about that team at all. 
Gallagher starting! Potentially Thomas as a wing back seems odd. Dack dropping to the bench.

Saving grace is Morton dropping out I guess

Is he saying Brittain isn't match fit?

[roverandout]

Gallagher to do eff all again.  Dolan to run around like a headless chicken.  Diaz is our only hope in this team
