The club must have known there was a chance that there could have been a power cut tonight, so why didn't they postpone it this morning?

Oh how would that work?  we are postponing on the off chance the power goes out?  Do not think that would be so popular.

I think Gumbi was taking the p**s out of Portsmouth fans the week before

Anyone seen anything about refunds ? I know the club will fight me tooth and nail for the cash, but I can't make the rearranged date.

Ring the ticket office and they will refund you.

Still plenty of murmurs about Eustace being an option for the vacant Hull job. In the betting he is among the favourites. Skybet he's 6th favourite at 10/1 but on Oddschecker he's second favourite at 6/1 after Chris Hughton.

Chris Hughton  ? He was ok once over but that was a while ago. Is it time to get worried ?

[JHRover]

That it is even being considered by anyone anywhere as even remotely possible tells us all we need to know about where Rovers are as a club under this regime.

I am worried that this sort of thing is happening quite a lot. Only in the last few weeks he's been among the favourites for both Hull and Coventry. Whether it happens or not there's usually a reason why names keep on getting linked elsewhere and it is suggestive either of an unsettled manager or other people knowing there is a problem.

You don't get the likes of Carrick, Thorup, Cleverly or Corberan getting linked to clubs lower down the Championship. Yet Eustace is. That tells me something off somewhere.

There is a problem; Rovers are owned by clueless Venkys.

Eustace has done a good job so far, so it's not a stretch to assume that the bookies look at ambitious club owners who want to spend trying to prize him away from what could turn into a car crash at any moment.

They sacked Rosenior for finishing 7th. I can't imagine Eustace is too keen to go there - not unless there's been a massive falling out behind the scenes here. 

[Gamst]

Eustace would be a very unlikely fit for Hull City as their owner is obsessed with attacking football.

I think he'd spent a lot of money there on the proviso that they achieved the playoffs. Their completely limp performance in the final game was no doubt his undoing.

Hey, at least they're trying to get promoted.

[roversfan99]

Rosenior is close to getting the sack at Strasbourg. I think with the players at his disposal last season questions were understandably asked at not being top 6.

Tonights draw is good for us, with a win tomorrow we can gain two points on both teams.

Yeah, hoping for a draw, but Boro should have wrapped up the points. That header was a sitter and another couple of chances.

I watched the latter stages of the first half and all of the second half. 

Burnley equaliser was bummed up as the goal of the season by the commentator but what the hell was the Boro keeper doing so far off his goaline? Poor keeping imho.

My mate messaged me, imagine the reaction if  Pears let that in. Conditions were terrible, but you're right, it was a mistake.

Dodged the Hull bullet, but as I alluded to a few weeks ago there must be a reason that he is amongst the frontrunners every time a Championship job comes up.

Must have allowed him a Clause in his contract making it relatively easy and or cheap for other Clubs to get him out of Ewood should other Clubs come calling.

Hopefully won't be an imminent problem if results keep going well but he's had bugger all support off the owners to date.

At a normal club this would be a push for the CEO to encourage the owners to back the manager well in January. We aren’t and he won’t and even if he did they wouldn’t. 
 

He’ll leave sooner rather than later and we’ll play the manager lottery again and next time Waggot might be successful in finding someone that will get us relegated. 
 

Same story every January

how has Potts just missed that? 

Sheffield Wednesday have been awful. Missing Bannan badly.

Very good win for Frank Lampard's Coventry City, away to Millwall.
