Wigan on front foot. We are missing the Tosin authority

Everyone on here was rushing to tell me there wouldn't be a problem

Now no sound and recorded video of the players arriving at Ewood

Cannot be without massive compensation.

Anyone else having problems with iFollow. First it took time to recognise it was me logging in. Now I am on the Rovers page - ah finally it has connected to a very choppy live feed.

Any news when Tosin will be available for selection again?

Boy, I'd take that over another Charlton or Luton.

You mean one small enough to seat 30,000+ - a crowd size I have sat in six times inside the new Ewood

1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 right

I will tempt fate- the last three games if 2019!

Bag of nerves. Fortunately we have players and management who know what it takes to win. We have to start fast and hard. We didn't against Charlton and Luton then couldn't step it up. Fully expect the game and result to be tight.

Which means provided we don't mess it up big time v Wigan there will be a decent walk on against Brum on Boxing Day regardless of the £3 mark up. I hope the club have sufficient staff in the ticket offices to cope because it would be a tragedy to have hundreds still outside at 3pm. Down the years regardless of what the average gate has been season to date, getting a 10,000 leap on Boxing Day is the norm if we are doing well. My forecast for this game is therefore 24,500. There is still an underlying 25,000 average gate available for Rovers in the Prem if we get there as the turn out v Oxford showed 20 months ago.

There were live national radio commentaries in those days for the second half of one chosen game. I remember my first experience of Rovers live was the second half of that infamous Cup tie at Oxford in the early '60s.

No. Much more than half the forward players in Prem club squads don't get to 10 in a season but their all round performance would merit a transfer valuation above whatever the number was for Ben. Still means this is serious kick on time for Ben now which if the thought is to protect his transfer value, the strategy should be to loan him to a Championship struggler with a requirement of a minimum number of starts. Sadly.Butterworth's injury screws that as well as Butterworth's own progress unless another striker is coming in.

Given a choice between £15m a year and an apology, I would vote for Brexit..

RIP

So the weekend games mean in reality we are simply playing catch up to keep on the tails of the play-off places on tomorrow evening.

Wednesday win; neither side anywhere near promotion quality on that showing...

One positive of the fans not having a clue what the side will be tomorrow night. Nigh on impossible for Cook to plan the Latics response..

Sheff Weds just tried a repeat of Johnson's goal last week. Bristol City again failed to defend it but Reach hit Row Z.

Hopefully playing entertaining football and giving Wigan a spanking...

You are not looking at Charlton dropping like a stone... Derby one point above them also share joint worst current form.

Agreed about 1977. In the 1974/5 promotion season, Gordon Lee's championship winners thrashed PNE 3-0 and Palace 3-1 at Ewood over the Christmas period which gave the whole town belief that this was our season.

Barnsley winning at Millwall tells us all we need to know about this one. Results today mean there are no giddy heights available if we prevail on Monday so hope remains undimmed...

Three games all on at the same time scheduled for TV I want to watch! 17.20 Solihull Moors v Barrow 17.30 Liverpool v Flamengo Man City v Leicester City
