I was very sceptical about Batth. He was a year older than when I first thought he was probably too old. However he brings that experience that McFadz brought in, but his legs haven’t gone fully yet. He’s proving to be far more than “squad filler”

I’d pay an extra few quid on next years season ticket just to give them 2k again and watch their meltdown.

It seems like Cantwell and his relationship with Rangers / Scottish football was a big story up north. Therefore these social media headlines (which have no substance when you read the articles) are just click bait. Probably has both old firm fan bases frothing and clicking.

Not sure how the process works. I’m less than a mile away and the heaviest of the rain seemed between 6am and 8am, so I imagine it was playable from a waterlogging perspective last night. @arbitro I presume only the match official can call the game off after inspection? If the club contacts the referee at 8.30 and says we may have a problem, is there any pressure on the referee to come immediately?

On 22nd December 2012 we were postponed due to waterlogging against Brighton. On the same day Accy Stanley played at home. Boxing Day 2015 was similar, with us being the only Championship game off. Ewood has always had drainage issues, and it’s been well known for years it’s due to the river.

He's a lucky horrible git when you consider this happened moments earlier between the same players and he didn't even get a card.

Burnley survive one of the more blatant handball penalty appeals you’ll see this year.

It was clear from the week we have had and the forecast for today that there could be an issue. Looking at any news site talked about storm Bert. Therefore people were rightly concerned and were hoping the game would be on. So if you say the condition of the pitch was unknown to you last. Ight why were you saying “The Game Will Be On”? If there’s a storm with amber warnings why then it’s not “normal British weather” Blind optimism letting you down again.

And then for the rest of the season. We've played games on boggy pitches over the years and it's knackered the pitch up more for months after

Who does he think he is. It's Ipswich Town. It's not 1981 any more. He needs to just accept mediocrity.

Milder and wet according to the forecast.

Bad decisions on the pitch. Bad decisions off it. Was part of his brain not thinking “ yeah shouldn’t say this on camera”

No Mattyblue is right. It was Sherwood’s “goal”. Keane’s reaction (or lack of) says it all.

To be fair, I think we all witnessed a moment of Rovers infamy on Wednesday with Big Mak's header. Like Tom Lawrence's shot against Burnley, or the already referred to Ashley Ward not-given penalty against Charlton. In 10 years time I think people will still remember and talk about that miss.

If a loss at Plymouth is "not surprising", losing what away game would you class as surprising?

With this squad it does become desperately difficult to keep Brittain and Hedges out the side. I’ve gone with Brittain and pushed JRC on.

Pears Brittain. Hyam. Batth. Beck (if fit) JRC. Trav. Trod. Cantwell Ohashi Leonard

Just pointing out he has a career as professional footballer. Pedantic, but I’m sure you understand 😉😉

He is 26 and played almost 200 games. He has a career as a pro footballer.

I’m struggling to understand the Cantwell criticism. That shot into the BBE was poor but he was the only positive of the night. He did exactly what you want a creative midfielder to do. It’s just no-one could finish any of it off. His best league season is only ever 7 league goals in the SPL. If you think he’s banging 15+ league goals it’s not happening. That’s not what he does.

VE day

We know about the misses late on, but there's other elements that piss me off from yesterday. First goal. Travis is coming back from behind play and can see everyone in front of him. You can see the eventual goalscorer in front of him. So what's he now doing here. He's just run into space, not looking and god knows what he pointing at. It's no wonder the guy has so much time and space to turn and shoot. Then for the chance they had shortly after which Pears saves, watch Britain. The minute they break over the half way line he is just jogging back. He breaks into a quicker trot briefly and then just gives up. Shocking attitude. We know from the final days of JDT that he was one of the first in the rubber dinghy.

Szmodics left for 15 mill, hoorah, hoorah, Armstrong left for 20 mill hoorah, hoorah, Venkys they don’t care one bit, Spend no money or give a shit. Now Makhtar Gueye is Rovers' number 9.

No one was clamouring for him to start up top in the summer. But when your choices are Yuki, Gueye and Leonard, there’s a chance he’s better than the other 2. One of them has to start.
