Struggling as a whole over the season, but currently five unbeaten, and very much fighting for their lives.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Playing a side fighting for their lives,Rovers shipping Goals like crazy...go figure.

The real question is how long will it take to conceded two tomorrow ?

First 5 ?,  First 10 ?   If we can get past 20 mins without conceded one we are in with a chance.

[MarkBRFC]

We'll have definitely conceded two by half time.

I'm going for 2-0 down by the 30th minute at least.

[Upside Down]

We'll be 2-0 down inside 15 minutes

[LeftWinger]

What time do Rovers kick off tomorrow?

3:00

3:04

3:08

You've just won the Rudy Gestede Fan Post of the week award.

A signed photo and Craig Conway coffee mug is on the way !

I think the majority of fans want a new number 1 goalie.  Under normal circumstances, a 'normal' club would have Toth in for the rest of the season, now our season is over, in order to see what he really is capable of.  However, if Glen is correct about a 3 month break clause in Ismael's contract, Ismael, desperate for points to 'solidify' his position will go for what he sees as the least risk option.

Tomorrow, we face a team battling for their Championship lives and on seemingly a decent run, unbeaten in last 5 games with 9 points added which is feckin brilliant in comparison to our 4 losses in 5 with only 1 point earned.

I would be staggered with any result other than a Luton win, more so if any of our players don't fancy Ismeal next season and are presumably now aware of the alleged contractual break clause.

Luton by at least 2 or 3 clear goals and if they get a couple early doors, I could see the roof really caving in.

The Law of Averages says that Jim has to see an away win at some point. Hopefully tomorrow.

2028 in the National League then.

We have never ever beaten Luton in the league at Kenilworth Road; playing them since the 1930s.

We are bottom of the form league over the past 12 games.

Jim is going.

Definitely not an away win.

Yes, I'd like to see Toth for the rest of the season.

 

[USABlue]

Nailed on loss regardless of Jim.

[ruggles1995]

What away pubs are people heading to ?

[OnionBalaji]

I have no excitement or enthusiasm for a Rovers game. It’s a Saturday and been a long week and that 3pm escapism and the excitement ahead of the game is just a void. Nothing to play for and nothing to be fired up for. Well done Venkys and the stooges - where there was passion there is nothing

[B16Rover]

Increasingly bizarre feeling on this messageboard.  Couple thousand members all united in a passion that actively upsets them.  

Not sure I'll go to great lengths to watch it today

[chaddyrovers]

Lets get that win today and make 5pm a happy time. 

Will be interesting who plays in goal and at right back

COYB!!! 🔵⚪

Post us a picture from your seat @jim mk2 - It’s been years since I’ve been to Luton, I’m interested in the view.

Luton 1 Rovers 1.

Safe trip to all that are travelling.

Why will it make it a happy time? Damage has been done.  It will be a bearably tolerable time at best. No chance of play offs. Winning will only prolong ismeal's tenure and give the happy clappers more ammunition

Will a win not merely paper over the fractures which are in danger of becoming fault lines?!

You yourself have stated CHANGE is required at Ewood and I think the only way that happens is by poor results and fans voting with their feet (which they did on Tuesday).

I think change is required from top to bottom including owners, exec. management and head coach.

I am happy for some elongated pain and suffering if it gives us a REAL OPPORTUNITY for change.

IMO, continuing with the status quo is not a viable option and anything which brings the breaking of a new dawn nearer is welcome - scraping a win or two before the season ends will not bring about any change.
