What are RoversTV up to? Do they just not own functional equipment or what? Sounds like a dodgy cable to me.

Cables are expensive you know

Assistant Referee blocks Rovers taking the corner and the referee blows for half time because Rovers don't take the corner fast enough. I've missed the EFL.

Yeh he was standing in front of the ball haha

What the fuck was Brittain doing?

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Another petulant yellow card for our captain. Lovely stuff. 

He is pathetic.

Travis is shite. Would happily replace him

You’d get rid of more players than Waggott if you were in charge. Travis and Dolan gone and it’s only h/t😉

[booth]

Sums up the decision making of our two fullbacks.

Mad opinion 

[MB Rover]

What was Travis actually booked for? The ref gave a throw in?

In other news, just seen the BBD incident getting a Newcastle player sent off.  Time well spent in Spain me thinks.

Spain?

The soft bastard was throwing himself to the hallowed Ewood turf any chance he got. 

[Angry_Pirate]

Try to waste 40 seconds to take a corner when there was 10 seconds of time left, we deserve to get the whistle blown on us... regardless of WTF the linesman was looking at.

I think he's a useful Championship player, but he's not a captain and nobody is going to pay you enough for you to bring in a worthwhile replacement imo.

I'm starting to think JRC is injured / unfit. He's been really quiet this season.

That was done with some flair that only southern Europeans can deliver.

Yeah, nobody to blame but ourselves there. Hopefully with all the blood pouring out of his nose it won’t be rushing to Pears head quite so much in the second half. Keep it tight for now and there’s a breakaway goal or two in this for Yuki when he comes on.

Britain and Pears are the weak links for me, think Gueye and Dolan look promising

JE said he had hamstring problems after the Derby game. He didn’t look anywhere near fit in that game

Just seen that Cardiff's keeper has gifted Burnley 3 points.

What has Brittain done wrong!?

He gets turned to easily, allows players to get crosses of or run into the box, seems like he is always caught in two minds

Nothing, he's one of our main attacking outlets on the right hand side.

[OsloRover]

Brittain among our best players so far this season including today

[ItsRoverZ]

Big ten or so minutes for JRC if he's the same please replace him with wieman or siggy.

[Neal]

Travis is a necessary evil in this league, shame he got booked there because he was starting to boss that a bit and doing exactly the sort of job you want him to do... That yellow card takes him out of the game and the concern is that he will end up with a red. I'd potentially look at taking him off for Ohashi & putting JRC in there. We had a red card on this ground last season and I don't fancy another. 

 

45 minutes from doing a very organised job here. Really hope we can stay composed and not give any more silly chances away because we can only ride our luck so much. 

 

Think we're going to need 90 minutes from big Mac because he's very useful defensively aswell as offensively.

That's actually disgraceful. I've disliked the prick ever since he downed tools for us, but now I'm embarrassed he ever wore our shirt - and we've had shit like Lowe and Murphy play for us.
