Haha, I didn't know one Rovers season ticket holder in 1992/93. Including some home and away die hard ever presents. Admittedly I was only 15. 93/94 it seemed like everyone in the town had one.

No one said worse players but we do need a bit more depth to the squad in one way or another. Leaving it to chance is never a good idea. Giving Mowbray too much money to spend could lead to him changing the way we are playing. We may go back to his possession obsession.

Hope you get well soon. I’ve had it for two weeks and at times it’s not been pleasant. I wouldn’t wish a bad dose on my worst enemy. Finally feeling properly better today but still having a coughing fit now and again. This Omicron variant can f*** right off.

If he gets the club promoted, which is a massive stretch given his previous tinkering reputation and the squad depth, then he will be a legend. Anyone who manages to achieve that under Venkys ownership deserves a medal made of pure gold. But I simply can’t believe TM will be able to resist the urge to play around with the team. It’s difficult to get giddy when you know that he’s easily capable of dropping such a massive tactical bollock. Could it be that as Tomphil said he’s under pressure from above to deliver and he’s limited the tinkering and instead playing to the teams strengths finally? Or has he struck lucky?

I hope he's backed with the funds to bring in cover for RB, CB and a replacement for Poveda. Would love a good striker to add to the mix and replace Armstrong but that's probably a step too far. Send Clarkson back and spin the wheel on a more useful loanee. But I hope he doesn't buy players to pursue his possession based football nonsense. We're doing just fine without it.

Any updates on Kaminski?

He didn't have a good day. Hopefully he's saving it for Preston.

I hope not!

I love the optimism!

That should be the least of our worries considering our constant dalliances with FFP and that we're £140m in debt.

Not really, he followed it up by saying if Stoke attacked the Rovers defence they are a soft touch. I mean he's not wrong usually but today and against Peterborough, defence looked pretty good. Just a shame we had to lose Ayala the other night and today Kaminski.

A lot of smiles from the players. They all look really chuffed. Rovers in 4th place, Stoke out of the play off spots. Stoke commentators are gathering the nooses. That Burnley reject Fletcher still a dosser. Rovers and Mowbray deserve that. Great and massive win!

Ignore - Rovers fourth!

Got to give credit to Pears. He terrifies me but that was a good save.

How did Stoke miss?

This referee is a f***ing dope.

Cracking save by their goalie but you can tell Brereton is a Stoke fan 😉

If Stoke get anything out of this game I'll be devastated. They've been thoroughly terrible.

Brereton is doing that thing of passing to his long lost ghost mate. He usually puts a shift in even if he's not playing very well but today there's not been as much running. Maybe he's knackered.

Brereton has had a poor game.

Stoke commentators are like that Les Dawson act with the old ladies.

Dolan on for Khadra.

Referee is shit.

Need to get Dolan on.

Pears hit away for another corner. Corner comes in, Rovers get it away running with it down the pitch towards Stokes goal, Diaz brought down. Yellow card. And how did we f**** miss that!
