London. Away

 Another win please 

Hopefully it will be a scoreline to paraphrase the title of The Housemartins first record.

London 0 Blackburn 4

Fans must be happy and silently praying it continues..

Or haven't realised midweek falls on a Tuesday. 

Haha yeh it's a Tues!!

Just finished work logged on to see the thread! 

 

Any news on line up?

[yeti-dog]

No reason we can't get 3 points tonight and go 3 wins on the bounce. 

Obviously depends on which Rovers turns up though..

that is an awful kit

who made this choice, waggott?!

I have a theory about bright kits, that they make it easier for the opposition to play against you, as your movement is more easily tracked due to the light colour, which makes for more reliable assessment of where you and the ball are heading.

We battered them black & Blue at the end of last season. Not sure we will have the same outcome this evening, with our hi-viz safety kit on.

Anyway, feck it - COYB!!

Colour blind as a bastard!

Another Szmodics and Sigurdsson masterclass tonight.

Get an early goal and we'll dominate.

[benhben]

No surprises to see the same side. Not a lot of pace going on. Can see another scrappy game rather than the end to end of last month.

Didn't we wear red end of last season?

Well I'm here in Bangkok and having to keep awake till 01. 45 am... Just hope the boys do a job. 

I ve told the wife I'm watching the game in bed whilst she's sleeping. She's given me these Bluetooth shitty earbuds to use... Not going happen. 

COYB. 

I've tried that kind of arrangement here in Australia. Never works. Bluetooth or not I end up yelling, waking her up, sleeping somewhere else. I just cut out the foreplay and move straight to the couch now.

Hurts my eyes, and I can't find my shades.

Millwall's home kit if so dark we could play in our home colours with no real clash of colours.

But surely that theory can also be applied to us attacking. 

The CM with head down on the ball can easier spot the winger/ST run from corner of eye.

There must have been some studies done on this kind of stuff. 

[simongarnerisgod]

sammie hat trick tonight😀

[moerpho]

Clean sheet first and foremost. Away from home midweek I’ll gladly settle for 0-0, but will be over the moon for three points. COYB!

In my day as a goalie, many moons ago now, I always felt like I had a better game with a bright top on. Should have studied it myself in my psychology degree, I suppose...

Of course Rovers were resplendent in Red (not black) the last time we played this lot. My memory is getting reight sheit.

Let's hope it is a positive for us this evening too. High viz, high tempo, high goals expected, high time we battered another eel and pie merchant.

COYB!
