Of course he can although not surprising he wouldn't if they didn't agree to do the same. However the whole point here as always is Nobbers and Bumley don't have at least 15k home seats empty every home game. The supply and demand dynamics are very different taking that into account.

I wouldn't expect a guard of honour nor would i expect people in colours in the town centre or anybody giving it large not to expect attack. Otherwise i'm sorry but that post is an example of the myth that has led to the overkill of this fixture. Just because some granny on her porch flicks to Vs at Rovers coaches or toothless family line the streets to do the same doesn't mean they want to inflict disorder. Please it isn't the 70's anymore, yes there'll be incidents but no need to terrify everyone to death who is going. Be sensible and you should be fine.

It's Burnley not Beirut their vermin will be hanging about under t'culvert so that might be a bit ropey but otherwise most will just be mooching off home. Trolls live under bridges so avoid that and you'll be fine there's too much scaremongering going on with this now.

We perhaps should start that side every midweek away game ! I agree with the gaffer about the boys being brave but that extends to him as well with his tactics there's nothing to fear in the Championship it's all about the mindset. That was there for all to see last night although it works better when your hosts think they just have to turn up to win.

It's a big game and over 2k tickets sold but it's a mere sideshow to most locally based true blue and whites. Get down there with a young team and have a real go, whatever will be will be.

Last time i went a bloke jumped out of the home section bollock naked and ran across the entire pitch like that heading for the Rovers section. He was rugby tackled before he made it but it's hard to know what his actual intention was, fight, attempt to breed with out of town bloodline, or just escape the shithole.

Plastic glass tax - then suddenly it would be ok.

£10 must represent a massive saving from what they normally pay down there so i expect the home sections to be nearly full.

Bingo.

Never been a drinker at the game as always driving but gave up bothering with anything at half time a long time ago. Firing off 5 mins before HT and returning ten mins after has never appealed. Losing 10/15 mins of football every game makes the tickets even dearer.

They were hailing him a genius when he first went there for using two wide forwards and a false 9 in the absence of their striker. Not read that forum but from what i gleaned from the one i read on facebook they felt a bit more solid and organised under Neil whereas now it's all a bit random. Have we not exported the 'Tombola' reference up there yet 🤣

Ayala = Franco Baresi

Yes Boro are similar in that as well but like Sunland seem to get a free pass whilst we are always a target for abuse. Strange folk these football fans.

Anyone give us a brief summary of what Dack might have said, allegedly. In code if necessary !

So they get 40k one min then 27k the next but get no stick because the numbers are still big compared to most. And we call an element of our fanbase fickle 🤨

First draw of the season here i reckon. We'll pinch a goal in the first 5 mins JDT will take off all forwards and we'll camp in our box for the next 85. After 90 Ref will signal play on until Burnley score then duly award the a pen after 10 mins when he gets fed up. Burnley 1 Rovers 1 A few bruised knuckes and blackeyes around East Lancs in the afternoon.

It's easy to see how we struggle in midweek away games when losing 1 nil as we tend to play exactly the same. You have to chase a goal sometimes especially when there is a third of a game left and the opposition haven't caused you much bother at all. It's working so can't complain and hanging on all adds to the drama and relief at the end which is entertainment in it's own way. Just not in the purest sense but at some point there has to be a plan B because we got sussed second half of last season and it'll happen again.

There was plenty angst brewing around me yesterday after the sub handed them the initiative. It wasn't revolving around lack of entertaining football it was more to do with concern we were asking to give that game away.

Might as well drive him to Sunderland now. I hope Rovers have plans to reinvest his wages into someone decent and it's not just another daft opportunity to cut a big wage for the sake of it.

Look how the Wigan cup game derailed last season with a strong side out/ Lesson learned ? Team of kids please. let them have a go.

Travis actually does the job Lowe could never do and that's just facts although it doesn't mean he's perfect.

If they wanted anything other than to get to the end of this season in midtable then he was always the wrong man for the job. They'll survive and so will he, probably with a bit of help from Dack January onwards.

Another great win we are clearly drilled in the art of hanging on once in front rather than looking to kill games off. Looked for all the world like we would get another but a few break away chances for Hudds and a bit of a knee jerk sub imo. Defender on, striker off so early in the second half handed all the initiative to them rather needlessly. Like i said though that's obviously plan A that is drilled into them no matter the opposition and it's working. Good job they were so poor in the final third though i assume also JDT has more faith in our defensive players than the counter attacking ones. We aren't half good at making teams look better than they are but who cares. Job done again, another 3 in the bag and we move on

I hope they haven't ordered more than 150 from the printers.

If only we had a striker like Lucas Jao in the squad we'd have an extra dimension and imo we would have been in the play offs last season.
