Good result on paper, two points dropped on the balance of the game. Thing is, i always expect to concede a goal under Mowbray, so i feared when we went in at half time only one up that we wouldnt win. Still, we move on. Two huge home games coming up lets see how we do.

Always tough to predict a Rovers away following but how many do we think we will realistically take to this? I think the 530 kick off will put a load off, 1500/2k?

Just when you think they couldnt kill the FA cup anymore.

As said, I could see Reed leaving us and going on loan to someone like Leeds (interchangeable with anyone in the top 6). Similar to how Jack Payne left Oxford to come to us on loan last season. If that does happen, and lets face it Mowbray is never going to break up the Smallwood/Evans combo, I'd like to see Rothwell given a chance to make that right hand side is own.

Yes pretty sure that is right with the gate split, and a potential replay to factor in too. I can't see it being any cheaper than £20 for adults. By the way last year, Newcastle charged £10 for adults and £5 for kids for there 3rd round tie against Luton.

Which they are well within there rights to do.

Probably category B with it being a Tuesday night, although if we were at home to them on the 29th December you can guarantee it would have been a category A. £29 sounds a lot for Sheffield Utd to be honest, but still think we'll get a decent turnout due to the boxing day game being ridiculous.

£30 is the cap on away fans for the premier league, I wouldn't read anything into that.

I imagine our demand will be a bit higher than that day though, I reckon they will give us a good whack of tickets in the usual away end.

This will be one of those where we will get all giddy nearer the time thinking we can beat them, then we'll find ourselves 3-0 down in 20 minutes. Is this right? If so that might tempt me to go, I've been a few times in that top tier and after nearly dying when Mulgrew scored the season before last I thought to myself that's the last time I'm going up there!

It's as clear as day that Bennett starts for Conway when he's back, think thats the four Mowbray would go with when everyones fit.

Yeah i was thinking that, no way is this a reciprocal agreement, Norwich wont be charging us £20 thats for sure. As said earlier on the thread this is just a offer to entice folk to buy early or to try and get the jack walker upper a bit fuller.

Christmas offer for the Norwich game on 22nd December.... https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/november/ticket-news-norwich-city-h/

Also, we were 3-0 up against Stoke when Graham went off, and that nearly ended up a disaster.

I think it's a terrible knee jerk reaction to just suggest that the "team spirit" has gone over these last two weeks, it has been two terrible performances but this was always going to happen at a higher level. I can point at Williams, Bell, Smallwood, Evans, Bennett, and potentially the likes of Armstrong (out wide) and Rodwell (at CH) as not being good enough for this level, you might be able to get away with one or two of them and have a decent mid table season (like we are having at present) but put them all in the same side week after week and eventually you will slide down the table. I can't understand why since Bolton away, we haven't started another game with Rodwell & Reed in the middle, I think that's potentially a really good partnership at this level that has a bit of everything. Evans and Smallwood looked like they were running through sand on Wednesday night, I thought at times last season that partnership looked a bit tired, and whilst both have had some ok games this season I personally wouldn't be starting with either. I'd like to see Bennett, Reed, Rodwell & Rothwell across the midfield, keep Dack in his favourite "10" position off Brereton for a bit, Graham could be ideal to bring on around 60/70 mins to help kill a game off.

Probably the first two matches of last season, 2-1 way at Southend & 3-1 at home to Doncaster.

Actually this is wrong, I have just been pointed to this when I asked the same thing on Twitter.. So looks like the Boxing Day, New Years Day, and Easter Monday fixtures won't be available on the red button.

Just a note, but I have noticed that Sky are showing live games at 3pm on both Boxing Day and New Years Day, Now, as these days do not fall on a Saturday does this give them another loophole and mean that Sky can show all the other 3pm games on those days on the red button?

When was the last time we used a "local promotion" out of interest? Obviously we have had a few games in recent years where we have charged adults a tenner a piece, but away fans were also included in that deal (thinking of Villa & Oxford over the past couple of seasons) I genuinely can't remember the last time we did one where we charged away fans more than home.

Two points dropped today for sure, but 8 points from 5 games since the last international break is about what i expected, probably would have said won today, drawn against Leeds, drawn at Swansea and lose at WBA, still they all add up the same. It's what's great about this league in a way, you think you have it cracked and a result like todays crops up, i expected to win but i'm really not shocked that we havent, i'm suprised as many on here are to be honest. Hopefully this two week break will do Graham & Dack the world of good as something just isnt happening for them at the minute, as after this break there isnt much of a respite until March.

Three home games in December before christmas, all Saturday 3pm kick offs. and the first one is catagory A. Why couldnt we do some sort of Christmas bundle, all three games for £30 or something, anywhere in the ground? Get some bigger crowds in pre Christmas while we are on a good run, crazy that we have thousands and thousands of empty seats when a bit of forward thinking could have seen a good portion of them sold. Might have even whetted the appetite of some to get a half season ticket.

I wouldn't expect many in the new year either as they won't want to "devalue" the half season ticket. I'm not even surprised any more.

Those 6 clubs will never, ever leave the premier league. That "European super league" will just run parallel with the Premier League. People keep saying that it will eventually implode, it never will, at least not in our lifetimes anyway.

Wigan 2005 & Preston 2015 are the only times we have taken over 5000 for a league game since the 90's ended. Like Mattyblue i'm not totally convinced we'll sell out completely but think we'll go pretty close.

If Brereton has been bought in to take over the "target man" role over the next couple of seasons then he should be spending every single second he can in training with Danny Graham, Mowbray certainly isn't helping his cause by playing him on the wing, unless of course that's where Mowbray does see him long term. Unfortunately whether it is right or wrong, he is always going to be judged on his fee as we haven't spent that much on one player for a while, but in reality he is a 19 year old kid learning the game, he probably won't hit his prime for another 5/6 years. The buck has to stop with Mowbray or whoever made the decision to splash the cash on him, giving the lad grief and slating him for every half hour cameo doesn't do him any good.
