[TonyM]

Very happy to finally see Gueye and Ohashi start together and to see if they can show signs of a potential partnership...

3-1

I like the look of this, but feel a bit uneased by it all. Four up top who has hardly played together could turn out to be a bad idea. Important our defense stays strong and Pears having (another) good game. Here's hoping for a thumping win, but won't shed to many tears if we draw. Lose = unacceptable as it is Ewood. COYB!!!

Good to see PNE concede in the last minute of injury time to stop them beating Leeds

Maybe Beck will play more like a LWB. I doubt it’s 4 up top. We always play with everyone behind the ball anyway. 

Cantwell will be a big miss

I agree. Like the look of it but a brave call to drop Dolan and Hedges (even with their limitations), with Cantwell missing too. I trust the manager so hopefully it will work out well, or he’ll change it if not.

Yes very pleasing. I'm much happier when PNE struggle.

Very interesting line up. Let's hope it all gels.

Come on Rovers.

[ageoftherover]

Where's Toth? Did I miss something?

[OsloRover]

I like our left side with Pickering and Beck, let’s hope for a good result today

Ahhh yes. So he has, cheers.

Listening on radio Lancashire 

Andy Bayes (I think) spent ages pre game whinging about the refs lack of game time, then said how bad Pickerings challenge was and how it could have been a red and followed up with similar about their lad.

Following that he said he’s let his inexperience show with the bookings.

Make your mind up!

[wilsdenrover]

A yellow a piece already 

[Bethnal]

Strange one so far. Two early cards, Luton look a shadow of the side that went up. We’ve got our main aerial threat on and can’t put a cross anywhere near his head.

Everyone looks off their game, currently, both sides.

[waynerovers]

Hyam to score here

[waynerovers]

Cozier-Duberry playing like he has a point to prove.

[OsloRover]

They like to spend their time on the deck this lot

[USABlue]

Thempractice of allowing coaching sessions while a player goes down needs stopped.  Kaminski goes down mysteriously Luton have a huddle and immediately look better. Happens too often.  Players drop to give the manager time to correct things.

Fakers too, Luton guy sees Ohashi hit the ground and then grabs his head.  Players abusing laws brought in to protect them.  Shameful.

[waynerovers]

Get in! Cracking finish.

[jim mk2]

1-0 ?
