Re priority signings: I don’t think there’s much point getting left back cover in on loan on transfer deadline day. That was something we needed 1st January due to Pickering’s injury but it’s almost too late now

For reasons previously mentioned by others, BBD probably wouldn’t come but he’s exactly the type of player we need. It is OK having strikers who don’t score as long as your wide forwards chip in and that is where a lot of teams get most of their goals. I wouldn’t mind Ohashi in the middle with BBD on the left and ACD on the right. The main problem then would be the number 10 role where we need more goals than Cantwell is currently providing

Ok another note: this loyalty points system has so far been useless for non season ticket holders. I’m on just over 100 points but every away game is 290 points followed by 240 points followed by general sale

Who was the last former or current rovers player to score for England before tonight?

This could possibly be a thread on its own but are away games unofficialy “sit where you want?” When I first started going away in the early noughties, people generally took their allocated seat, although sometimes stewards would say “sit where you want” if we’d only sold around 60% of the allocation. Nowadays, some people seem to have the view that away games are always “sit where you want” whilst others are quite angry about someone being in their seat. I’ve had it at a few games where someone is in my seat refusing to move so I go to another empty seat where someone then gets really arsey because I’m in their seat. i understand that no one actually “sits” at away games but personally I like to stand in the seat I’ve been allocated. So for those of you going today: will you head to your allocated seat or just go where you want?

We’re currently 7/1 to go down with Skybet. I don’t think they realise how likely it is that Jake Batty and James Edmondson are starting games by November

I may not be understanding football accounts probably but it wouldn’t surprise me for the delays in signing the Nantes lad, Fadz, etc to be so that their contracts start on 1st August and they therefore don’t need paying for July

The riverside thing is a bit strange. I may be tempted if I could guarantee a £300 season ticket but would rather be in the Blackburn end if I don’t get my £49 refund in the ballot. Anyone know if you can tick a box to say I don’t want a ticket in this end if I’m unsuccessful in the ballot? I assume not

Will the game be available to purchase on RoversTV with it not being Saturday 3pm?

I think he’s trying not to handle it and give them an indirect free kick. That’s the worst decision making he’s made all day when he doesn’t just get palm it away

He wasn’t the reason we lost last night but Bobby Madley was taken off the Birmingham game and put on ours at the last minute because he supports Huddersfield who are a relegation rival of Birmingham’s. Doesn’t seem to make sense to then give him to another relegation candidate https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/key-birmingham-city-v-cardiff-28969709.amp

The QPR winner yesterday is the sort of thing Eustace’s rovers would never be brave enough to get (see Hyam calming the fans down in injury time vs Millwall). It’s the 92nd minute, they’re drawing 1-1 in a massive relegation six pointer, the centre back goes up field for the goalkeeper’s kick to get a winner

Football is a game often decided by the odd goal. For that reason you can’t have your goalkeeper throw in as many goals as both of ours have this season. We are a poor team but would easily have enough points to survive with an average championship goalkeeper

The issue with games like yesterday and Birmingham away, is that we have still conceded as many chances as we regularly would under JDT but without the attacking prowress. The only “it wouldn’t have been any better under JDT” argument I have is how bad the QPR game was. Otherwise, like many I feel we would have lost a few but won a few during this run under JDT and had more points.

Anyone know how to actually start a roverstv game on a windows pc? It used to be obvious but despite me purchasing it I can only watch it live on my iPhone app at the moment
