v Hull City (a) - 07/12/2024

[Forever Blue]

Ogrady-Macken any good? 

[Nic81]

BBC showing an interesting line up with Baker at left back…😂

[moerpho]

So…after two wins most of us didn’t expect today will be a real test. A Hull team we should beat, but this being the championship I’m going for a draw. 3 points and I’m over the moon! Ohashi due a goal. COYB!

Any reports on the weather from those travelling?

I like him, box to box midfielder who can also play as a 10.  fairly aggressive, has a goal in him

However, I think he will remain on the bench (unless Rovers are 3 goals up towards the end of the game).  Same applies to Litherland

Alright, I’m ready to see Rovers dominate a team in the relegation zone. But will it happen today?

[Old Codger]

Good to see Rovers in the Blue and White away from home.

On the bright side at least we don't now have to put up with Gallagher running over.

He got there just after the celebration finished.

Is that 600 in the XI or 600 in the Match Day squad?

Dolan’s first possession awful - stinker of a game now guaranteed

It was 600 matches in September 2022 - so that + however many games we've played since then.

From the LT: Today is the 700th consecutive match with an Academy graduate in the match day squad

A sign of decline or a blip? Litherland and O'Grady-Macken from the new generations on the bench but should be a big concern for the future.

Carter, S. Wharton injured, Travis suspended. Baker preferred to JRC / Buckley (same with Brittain to Buckley) and Leonard coming back from a long term injury.

Just football. If we were desperate to keep the streak going we could have done so without losing any quality in the starting XI.

That Leeds LB last week was glacial.

Dolan was set away then and Giles glided back and easily hawked him down. 

[chaddyrovers]

Get in!!

Own goal by McLoughlin 

[Tom]

Get in that’s a lovely own goal 

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Oooft - great move!

[Old Codger]

Great play leading up to that by Brittain

[booth]

Good move and an own goal.

[DeeCee]

I'll take that! Hope JE doesn't go all defensive now 🤞

[waynerovers]

Currently sat 6th after all the doom and gloom of that goalless run. Well done Rovers.

[Tom]

Pears has had a couple of saves to make and nearly got in trouble with both, somehow parried the free kick onto the bar and then fumbled that one, by hook or by crook but he’s riding his luck at the moment

Not to be the killjoy, but our strikers are still on a horrific goalless run. Almost 3 months by my count (14th Sep).

Which is insane. Can't think there's many teams about without a single striker goal in such a period. 

We cud maybe count Dolan as an attacking forward.

Would love that to change today. 

[rock steady]

Pears doing my head in but still holding on to clean sheet. 

Simple catch to relieve pressure and he punches it to the edge of the box.
