Pretty disappointed to drop two points after dominating the first half and going ahead. We seem to specialise in losing control of games. Could have ended up with nowt in the end. Anyway in more significant matters here’s a dispatch from the Oatcake: Disappointed with the result but how good were the pies!? Peppered steak.. delightful! Edible pastry unlike the garbage they serve down the bet365 now

According to our board there’s only a few tickets left out of….? 3.5k?

Not sure he’s managed two training sessions yet

I live overseas mate so only manage a game or two a season on trips back. I'll be up with the larks to watch the stream as per

Ow at Rovers, to add a bit of nuance to this “bang in form” comment… it's true we’ve had a good start and we’re high in the table but in terms of results we’re actually not really in good form. We’ve won one game in the last six, scoring two goals. It’s a bit of a paradox because we are playing with tempo and creating chances.. we battered Middlesbrough at their place in the second half the other day. We’re just nervy and profligate in front of goal. I’m a default pessimist (impossible not to be after our last eight seasons) but hopeful that this will be the game we put the chances away and come away with the result.

Looking like we are getting Zonzi for a year for anyone who cares…

No doubt. Being player of the season for a Champo team at 19 is no small deal, especially in that position. You guys will have your opinions (I didn’t realise there was ill-feeling to be honest) but I’d say he’s well ahead of your typical trajectory for a CB

That’s totally absurd. He’s not little

I’m genuinely shocked we’ve got him again, I thought he’d get either a Prem or top-end Champo loan. He’s developing very well - comfortably our outfield PotS last season - I’d be pretty surprised if he isn’t a Prem player within the next two or three years. And he’s only just turned 20..

Did not see that coming I must admit. Very happy though. Meanwhile a certain Steven Nzonzi was at the Stoke game today with a view to doing a bit of training/friendlies and seeing what comes of it…………

I did quietly fancy us after reading all your comments pre-match. That usually spells a heavy defeat though

Speak for yourselves

Jesus fucking god ref. Had about six heart attacks then. Huge win for us, sorry it came at your expense. Thank fookin god for Viktor Johansson. Counting chickens and that but see you next season I guess. Hopefully in the playoffs 🤔 👋🏼

It's known as the Dead Cat Splat on our board

'Ow do Rovers, thought I'd check in. I can't be bothered to expand on how chaotically bad we've been this season (and for the last eight years) for all manner of reasons. But we're garbage. Robins has had little to no impact, particularly on results. Much of our fanbase is resigned to relegation - I think we should do just enough to stay ahead of three others but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we went into our last match against Derby needing something. The one caveat is that we actually looked much better in our last game against Coventry, despite losing at the death. A few players played really well, Gallagher included, and for the first time maybe this whole season we dominated the midfield for decent periods of the game. Could be a corner turned - but more likely it's a false dawn that bodes for a typically wretched home performance in front of an ill-tempered crowd and you'll amble to a routine 2-0 win. We shall see. It seems you all expect us to win, we all expect you to win. Split the difference and call it a draw maybe.
