https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/december/06/boro-cup-clash-confirmed-/ Saturday at 12 noon. Overseas TV coverage must be desperate.

Baker I don't think is a central midfield player, and whenever Eustace has used him or bought him on as a sub it's in one of the 3 attacking positions behind the striker. Fully expecting JRC for Trav as he played with Tronstad a lot last season, not sure Buckley and Tronstad works.

All Boxing Day 3pm kick off's are on TV this year.

Being appointed in the first place sums them up even more so.

"Advertised for sale" If you go on the website they have been on sale for quite a while now. Same with most home games this season, my wife came to the QPR game earlier in the season and I got her a ticket for that before we had even played Derby! Just not advertised until a few weeks before for some reason.

I'd rather just a loan and for them not to insult our intelligence pretending there is a chance to buy.

It's still optional. It only comes with the logo on if you request it.

Still got two loan spots left for the matchday squad, I imagine we will fill those but who knows with what kind of quality.

I think Baker is more a "number 10" as the kids say these days. Whenever he comes on it seems to be for Cantwell. I think JRC is probably first in line to play with Tronstad, although he's not been great this season he played a lot with him last season and is more of a box to box player. I think Eustace see's JRC for Trav, Buckley for Tronstad and Baker for Cantwell when any of those are unavailable. Hopefully our mentality has changed, but 5 defeats in a row and probably appointing a new manager this week, I've read this script before. Hull 1 Rovers 0

I'd be amazed if we went through that 8 games unbeaten. Just isn't going to happen.

Because all the football league play on New Year's day which is a Wednesday, and the TV companies want the choice to show a Friday night game, which would probably be a EFL team at home to a Prem team. So the turn around is too short.

It will be an unusual set of results that will be impossible to predict. But i'll go.. Hull - L Sheff Wed - D Luton - D Milwall - W Sunderland- W Hull- D Leeds - L Burnley - L

To a man i thought we were superb. A real team performance.

If there's one thing that Rovers generally don't do, it's last minute winners. Only one since we have returned post covid, and none in injury time.

We're going to have to be in some serious form heading into this game to get over 20k. Like tomphil says above it makes the Derby look like a joke.

Pretending it's something to do with police.

£40 for a Jack Walker central ticket. All to fleece 4k dingles.

Yeah he was brilliant, one of my favourite ever Rovers players even though like you say we only saw the best of him for a short time. A lot forget that he pipped Shearer to be our player of the year in 93/94 too.

Hyam and Hedges are easy to just trigger the option to kick the can down the road another year, so we'll definitely do that. Wiemann and Batth I could see agreeing new one year deals too just to pad out the squad.

There's no way you will need over 300 points to get a ticket for this game. I think the either someone at the ticket office is confused and thought the poster was on about Burnley away (which of course has already happened) or the poster has simply misheard.

Yet Sunderland can have the whole end on Boxing Day at 3pm. It's all a con.

Imagine it will be an unchanged team, but I would be tempted to get Beck in for Hedges to give us a bit better flexibility to go 3 at the back in this game.. Fully expecting a very similar game to the Sheffield Utd one, lots of effort and huff and puff but ultimately undone by a better side. Rovers 0 Leeds 2

Think we have Carter until 2027 so no immediate rush on him, all the others though are up within the next 18 months. I have no faith that we'll do anything with them.

So a non ST holding Rovers fan can only go to this game if they have attended in the past 12 months?!

That's just the new 1875 member + ST holders, then ST holders, then general sale from previous seasons.
