Upside Down Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 Well hopefully we can carry on the momentum from the last performance and secure our safety against fellow relegation contenders Sheffield Wednesday. Unfortunately our piece of shit CEO decided it was a good idea to give 7000 tickets to the Wednesday fans whilst simultaneously making it harder for our own fans to buy tickets. He is a toxic human being to say the least. Hopefully we will have a repeat of one of my all time favourite games and smash them 7-2 again. Fuck off Yorkshire. Your air is not fit to breathe into my pure Lancastrian lungs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 Team selection will be interesting. Although a draw would probably be enough for us, playing for one is fatal more often than not. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilInBristol Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 The coach has the luxury of a full week to prepare. We've done better when playing with time to prepare under his stewardship so hopefully we get the3 on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good plan - turn up on Saturday and beat them like Chile did v USSR back in the day.

Popular Post M_B Posted April 14, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2024 Can see the logic in limiting the away following, but can't you just see Szmods scoring at that end and telling them all to calm down. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankEnd Rover Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 (edited) Huge game! Confidence from yesterday will hopefully get us a result. Wednesday are no mugs and 100% won’t be downing tools - we loose and other teams around us win then it’s back to squeaky bum time.

chaddyrovers Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 I would be tempted to start with the same 11 if possible but play more attacking wise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey_big_nose Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 (edited) Tactically its an awkward one as the team against Leeds performed so well but it was a totally different sort of game as we knew Leeds would attack all game. Wednesday will probably be a lot more defensive.... That said they need the win more than we do so theyll have to commit players forward eventually - though if the clubs around them lose on Saturday they may aim for a point. It really is all about not conceding the first goal. Thats the most important thing by far. So probably setup same way as Leeds, sit deep, but be ready to break quickly. Think it could be quite a dull game. Edited April 14, 2024 by joey_big_nose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simongarnerisgod Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 beware the illogical algorithm of football i.e beating leeds away then losing to sheff wed at home,they`ll be desperate and will be willing to do anything for 3 points,keep the ball,tire them out and hit em with a goal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael123458 Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 Beat these tossers and we’re there one thing I will say is the kick off time/day might hinder crowd. I know they’ve sold 7k odd but if it wasn’t changed by sky after yesterdays results which I’m still buzzing off btw 30k at Ewood I reacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 30k?! So the highest crowd in about 10/15 years? Wouldn’t have been anywhere close even at 3pm considering £25-£30 tickets. The only chance go get anything like a c24k gate would’ve been tenner tickets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the importance of these games SURELY the club should go everything they can to encourage as many fans to attend. They are crazy. 12,000 fans paying £30 or 25,000 paying even £15 would bring in more revenue and the players would be buzzing with a large crowd. Stupid decisions at our club unfortunately. £30 a ticket is crazy in this climate when we are so close to the end of the season and need a win. Fans would help the team on match day. Shame that fans aren't respected by the club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To implement a sensible pricing policy and get as many fans in as possible to help the team you have to have a decision maker with at least one brain cell. Unfortunately we don’t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uddersfelt Blue Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 (edited) We can’t do anything now about the game being on Sky, the early kick off, prices or 7000 Wednesday fans, however Rovers fans can turn up in numbers to make sure the team gets the kind of support it got yesterday at Leeds. i’m sure the players would relish 20k or so Rovers fans urging them on to a win.
