Last fall when the wife & I visited the Madejski (sp?) to see Rovers play, the bus dropped us off in basically an industrial park- Costco, etc. there was one little strip of green we walked to the stadium. Looked too much like many of our American grounds.

I’m reading Johnson, Douglas, & Bell. It’s a start...

Exactly, it would be nice to keep ‘em separate.

Beautiful, great result today at a Ewood. Nice going into the break with 4 points from 6.

Arma, welcome back!

BB, helping his team & easing the fans angst. I’m very happy

Some excellent scoring opportunities that half, need to finish in the 2nd half, because I believe we will get more

Even so, I’m thinking this is a 3-2 type of game, def not 1-0

I feel encouraged, looking at our lineup.

“... a defence worthy of the Alamo...” As a Texan I take offense to that! ?

With 12 guys out vs Boro, & still getting a gutty draw, I don’t think the attitude of our players is giving their best effort. After the break, I hope there isn’t an overconfidence borne of getting key players back. The team still has to work hard, to get any positive result. Somebody said earlier two points at Ewood this week isn’t enough; we’re 17th; a point tomorrow won’t even get us to 16th. Hopefully, we see Rovers get all 3. This fixture 10 months ago saw us win, 2-1, on goals by Armstrong & Lenihan. I would gratefully take the same result tomorrow.

Man, I understand & empathize with you. I keep wanting to get iFollow, but I tell myself (lies), “just wait, things will get better, spend money then.” I basically gametrack on BBC or LT, read comments here & “the other” Rovers board, then watch the highlights later (if any). Its not getting harder being a Rovers fan; but it is hard wanting to spend money on ‘em.

Rovers are way overdue for a home win. No dire predictions from me, but I’m afraid I’m not eating sunshine/crapping rainbows, either. Not with the casualty list we have. 1-1, we’ll get ‘em next time.

Today, I saw enough from our team they have fight, and they haven’t “quit” on Mowbray. it was just a point, but I think a significant point, vs a top-5 side. I believe we’re going to climb up the table; no, I have no way of telling the future, as I’m not a prophet. But, we are about to get significant help back in the squad, and we are looking at a run of winnable games. As I said earlier or on another thread, if Rovers haven’t made progress towards a playoff place by Boxing Day, I will listen to & have some empathy with the “Mowbray out” crowd.

A point, and fairly won. I will gratefully take it. Warnock was building an attack on the gk he didn’t want, and frustrated in his attempt. Pears, MotM ?

What was that call?! Ridiculous

I can’t wait to read comments if Pears keeps a clean-sheet, lol

Rothwell coming in, eh? Good deal

For all the talk about what a genius Warnock is, I would’ve expected them to score 2 or three on us already. It appears our makeshift defending is holding up fairly well.

I lol’d when I read this!

Boro already attacking... its a matter of time...

I would like a double of what you’ve had ? Tonight is Elliott’s time to shine; I’m convinced he scores once, and gets two assists. It’s all coming together, fellas.

I voted early, so now I’m ready for the game. Not that I’m expecting much, I just hope to see some signs of life from this beat-up squad, and perhaps believe better days are ahead.

I asked earlier, maybe our S&C staff need to go. There’s no reason every year to have this many guys go down.

Twelve 1st teamers out tomorrow; I’m wondering if our S&C staff need to go with him? Im not a big advocate of sacking Mowbray in mid season. I stand by my earlier comment, if we haven’t started winning points routinely by Boxing Day, I think we should expect a change. Certainly, if we are bottom half of the table, there is no defense to keep him on. His new transfers will have had plenty of time to make an impact, & Dacky & Travis hopefully will be back in the lineup for a few games.
