dingle attitude 😒

Reminder this is on Sky Sports +

Therefore if you have a Sky Q box or Sky Glass you can watch it on TV. If you only have a Sky HD box you will need to watch in on the Sky Sports App on your phone or tablet.

(I think)

Much better still, it's on live, in person, at Ewood.

It's a cup competition,  Lowe cost than the ordinary games at Ewood and a good opportunity to bring some much needed new blood into the club, both on the field and in the stands. I dont nderstand Waggott's bizarre mentality of making g it difficult for folk to attend - anywhere else in the known universe, the idea is to encourage as many punters through the turnstiles as possible, and to encourage them to spend whilst on the concourse. Waggott seems to be in a perpetual battle against doing business, rather than optimising income wherever there is an opportunity.  Baffling , like most aspects of our club these days..

small time thinking from a small time no mark ,save a couple of grand instead of trying to make a couple

   Radical suggestion: we deliberately throw this game so we don't have to play in this pointless cup with our threadbare squad for basically no prize money (£100k for the winner).  

deny the fans a game with a premier league side and a possible run to the later rounds,are you steve kean

Wrong.

I have a Sky Q box but you need more than that. You also need the totally extortionate and daylight robbery of Sky Sports.

Easy to say when you are only 6.8 miles away.

It looks like Tyjon and Bloxham are in tonight's squad.

Unless you live abroad! It's a fair trek from Sweden. 

[philipl]

Really pleased with the selection.

Hoping we don't mess it up so Tyjon gets a good run second half.

Assume this is a weakened Blackpool team?

[bazza]

I've got Sky Sports football but not allowed to watch the Rovers game. I really don't know how modern day stuff works. I can watch Brum v Fulham.

[AspRover]

Interested in how the attacking 3 line up behind Gueye, I'd like to see Sigurdsson central but I'm guessing it's vale right Sigurdsson left?

Find sky sports plus, mine is channel 412. Press red button your remote control and look at the options 

[davulsukur]

What is this 2 man corner thing all about?

What's the thinking behind it? I don't see what benefit it brings?

[joey_big_nose]

Anyone figured out how to do the red button on Now TV web app?

As one player is left footed and one is right footed you're not letting the defence set up for an in-swinger or an out-swinger. Same theory behind having a left and right footer standing over a direct free kick. 

Can't say it's worked yet, so I'm not sure how long we'll persist with it.

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation.

[sverrehh]

Can't hear the commentators on TV... Anyone else?

 

[NeilInBristol]

Buckley as captain is real surprise!

Hope he does well tonight. Updates appreciated!

[USABlue]

No video on Roverstv? Audio only?

Vale Central, siggy left, Weimann right, Gueye upfront.

[Bethnal]

For those who have missed it so far

Buckley seriously off it, needs to improve. Vale showing an uncharacteristically high level of application. Duru looking bright, has handled everything and looks up for it. Very few others look up for it. Batth slow playing such a high line.

Rare occasion that a commentator is well-researched covering us.

[roverandout]

Should be a straight red
