Off topic but need some help. Can you get access to the fan zone at half time if you are sat in the JW stand? I know you can if your in Blackburn end. This will help me decide what stand to buy my Leeds tickets for ?

Absolutely heart breaking, a true rovers legend. I had the pleasure of meeting Tony on a few occasions in the late nineties and he really was a proper gentleman. Brought a tear to my eye watching this. I hope the club can assist Tony and his family in some way.They need to know they are not on their own.

does anybody know if the Fernhurst is an away pub before the game on Saturday ? And if so whats the best pub for Home supporters, Thanks

Excellent thanks for this

Think I might have posted this in the wrong thread. Im travelling over for this game. Am I likely to have 1000s of knobenders on my train from Manchester?

Ruddy woukd be a top top signing. Unfortunately I feel that he is outta out league wage wise. Don't know enough about Lee Grant tbh, but I'd still say he's a safer option than Walton.

34-35, a young pup for a keeper

Norwich have agreed to let him go for nothing which will suit our budget lol a keeper really needs to be priority. If we only bring in one player this window it must be a keeper.

Michael McGovern would be my first target. Norwich have agreed l to let him leave on a free and wages wouldn't be an issue, and more importantly a hell of a lot better than what we have here

He's just had a career threatening injury. Cut the lad some slack. It's no biggie if the manager has allowed him a few weeks away

We need a decent goalkeeper and fast. Raya at 50% is still better than that clown Walton.

Yeah totally agree with you. The gaffer has dropped all his so called favourites and gave everyone a chance recently.

Surely if Dack is fit he should start. He's our best player and our talisman. Regardless of who the striker is Dack starts.

Happy enough this game is on Monday night. If results go our way this weekend we could be in a position knowing that 3 points will put us into the top 6. Im expecting to see this team. Walton Nyambe Downing Tosin Lenihan Evans Travis Bennett Dack Armstrong Graham. I'd probably have holtby in for Bennett but have no real objections if Bennett plays wide right. Let's go rovers. 3 points and let us all enjoy Xmas day in the top 6

i do think the manager will want as little disruption as possible to his settled side. The fear for me is he will bring Bennett in at full back, downing out wide and Rothwell in Dacks role. I hope this hunch is proved wrong as a think we will lose on the organisational side of things taking the captaincy of Lenihan. Anyway nothing to fear, 3 points is certainly possible.

I've got to say I disagree with this 100%. Using your own logic you could quite easily flip your point and say a point away from home when not playing well is a great result. The team looked tired tonight and dug in well. Walton, Nyambe, lenihan, Evans and gallacher all having good games so there are some positives. I also don't buy into the fact that Swansea were fragile. The evidence last night was that they were well up for the game and determined to put in a performance, which they did. I can understand people having a pop when the team play poorly. But they don't deserve this ridiculous over exaggerated reaction on last nights performance

Yep

Bennett can't be trusted at left back. That looked a peno to me

It is indeed. We have played the same line up on three occasions before but this is the first time ever we have kept it the same for four games.

Absolutely buzzing for this game now. Don't see any need to change things. Same team same subs Tony. Let's go rovers

Thanks for the tip Mercer. I only got 7/2 but with a cheeky £20 on it in absolutely delighted.

So you betting against Blackburn. ?

Arma and gally seem to have swapped positions now thankfully

Big Tosin is a class act. Just always seems to be in the right place and always available for a pass. I think he has a big future in the game.
