  1. Sales look really strong. About 10 left BBE and only the Jack Walker wings have much availability. A few wins between now and then and Ewood should be absolutely bouncing.
  2. Been a while since I liked a Rovers manager more. There were some tough times last year and must admit I was at times really frustrated with him, but he got us over the line (after inheriting a shambles) and has kicked on this season. We are much more pragmatic and adaptable and all the noises from players point to a fondness and respect for him. It feels like a perfect blend of Hughes, Allardyce with sprinklings of the JDT esque football, albeit not the kamikaze, 100mph approach favoured by the latter. As a result we are resolute and rarely out of a game.
  3. Aging like milk thus far. Eustace continues to defy our recent history.
  4. It was scrappy, occasionally disjointed, but it was nigh on a perfect away performance. Never looked like conceding and our goal was coming. From there, a masterclass in defending your box. I thought Cantwell made some superb passes but mainly a lot of 7/10s. Nobody shirked their responsibilities. Gueye superb when he came on, held it up really well.
  5. Devil's advocate here - but did Gueye handball it before he got spun and clearly fouled?
  6. They have goal line technology don't they? Either way, definitely wasn't over the line based on Sky replays.
  7. This is right, but nevertheless initial sales look strong. N01 completely sold out and BBE quickly filling up.
  8. I don't think getting a smaller initial allocation is a new thing and nor is it unique to Rovers. We don't typically bring much more than 1,000 to Millwall; as such they've allocated this initially (rather than spreading us over a bigger area) and will no doubt sell us more if or when we sell them.
  9. Well there were nigh on 16k last time, attendance of 18.1k and we gave them just north of 2k... I think there'll be a decent crowd this time if the good form continues. We regained a bit of dignity last time, whereas in the last Ewood fixture there were still scars from the away capitulation, our form was falling off a cliff and we had the prospect of them winning the league midweek...
  10. Leonard has scored a Championship goal for starters. As for ACD, I think it won't be long until he's playing more. He was superb at Plymouth and sometimes we are lacking pace. I wouldn't the making too many changes to a winning team though
  11. Bloody hell I'm glad I don't sit near you at games.
  12. From my experience using it, it literally only counts for upgrades. It won't let me assign my adult ticket to another adult on my network. It feels like a way to encourage all the adult season tickets paying for concessions to quietly upgrade.... Has anyone else had joy allocating their adult ticket? I live in Ireland so would be handy to occasionally assign to my brother.
  13. £35-£40 10 days after Christmas is absolutely brain dead. Our manager and players deserve support and they get shafted again.
  14. Gueye might well be the worst player in our history.
  15. Is it time to acknowledge Ohashi might be shite? Eustace deserves criticism too - same system, same faith in Hedges who is a total passenger.
  16. Eustace can't have many complaints. He picked Hedges and Dolan again, the former has especially been useless all season. And then he brings his mate Weimann on who has been absolutely atrocious since the goal at Burnley. The whole game has stunk of the manager trying to keep it respectable.
  17. Sounds good to me. He's a great option off the bench.
  18. It seems like Cantwell wide left is here to stay; Cantwell said in his LET interview that Eustace likes his wingers to play as a false winger and cut inside. I know there's been some debate on here as to whether he should be central or wide. I'd be tempted to go for a similar team. Dolan's work ethic important vs a good side, Cantwell left and then right wing I can see him being quite cautious and doing Hedges or Weimann. He seems to like more of a work horse on at least one side. Is ACD back? I'd like to see him play after his impressive Plymouth cameo but I can see Eustace being a bit more defensively minded. Little chance we see any defensive changes for me, right back the only exception depending on how JRC is. I think Gueye will get the nod up front, feels like the minority but I enjoyed his performance on Saturday, especially first half. For someone who shoots like he's never kicked a ball in his life he occasionally has the most delicate and intelligent weight of pass which is a real contradiction.
  19. Sky is one thing but half the games are on BT too. Paying nearly £100 if you want to watch all football.
  20. I agree it was a bad performance but giving Cantwell a 6 is so far off the mark imo. Swansea had a couple of chances and nothing more. We'll take it.
  21. I'm sorry but this is nonsense. The biggest 'if' ever. Most teams do better at home and we've won every game yet you're talking about 'big trouble'. We are 6th and 10 points clear of relegation. The hyperbole is ridiculous. We didn't play well today but we won the game and are far from any trouble.
  22. Woeful. Hyam and Baath slow, the former looked thoroughly disinterested. Pickering a monumental downgrade on Beck. Carter clearly not a full back. How did Eustace see Tuesday and decide Dolan, Weimann (anonymous again) and Carter at full back and decide more of the same?
  23. We should have been making 3 subs at half time yet we're limping towards the 70th minute with the subs not made. Dolan hooked but not before costing us the game. A desperately poor night so far. As I watch this another good position in attack finished up by a woeful Carter cross and a Coventry chance.
  24. Poor half. Pickering and Carter out of sorts, Travis woeful in possession, Weimann looks like he's playing with boots on the wrong feet and then Ohashi looks ineffectual although has grown into the game a bit. It feels like a typical Tuesday night away game but still time to sort it out.
  25. Definite disappointment from me, but I can see why it happened - the game had no flow, time wasting was rampant and the referee seemed eager to give them every niggling foul after the red card. Still disappointing. I think the comments are about losing it last year seem to be because from December onwards we seemed to have to play at our best to win and any drop off below that was a draw or loss. A bad, disjointed performance like that was usually coupled with a defensive error and a loss. It wasn't good but hopefully will be forgotten about by 2.30pm tomorrow.
