  1. Elliott clearly looks a class act. Holtby is a class act. Rovers totally dominant from the stats. This one is ending 3-3
  2. Cannot write that about miserable Rovers supporters- you will get blitzed for it!
  3. Anyone getting a video signal? All I am getting is a circling semi circle Update- picture just come on at Goodison Park
  4. This is going to be interesting tactically. 3-5-2 meets 4-3-3 Joaoa Pedro and Ismail Sarr are both very dangerous forwards.
  5. Feeling a bit better about this one. 7 players available who weren't on Saturday. Holtby Williams JRC Trybull Elliott Douglas Pears Mowbray pretty well saying we will see Elliott at some point and that Elliott's skills are amazing.
  6. Going to be a crazy season judging by some of last night's results. I keep repeating myself but I think Reading are going to stay in contention all season.
  7. He is now a key member of the Under 23s which are going well near the top of PL2. Looking a cultured defender in the video coverage I have seen. Currently behind Ayala, Lenihan, Williams, Wharton, Carter and Magliore so unlikely to see him in a League game any time soon but Rovers have given all of the aforementioned first team action so if he continues developing anything is possible. League 1 and League 2 are subject to wage caps so the opportunity for loans in the UK are very limited now.
  8. And the reason why not is financial support from Venky's right up to the very edge of FFP
  9. Jack was a lifelong supporter. He was at Bury when the railway bridge collapsed.
  10. Holtby isn't even taking up his full legal rights-I understand he is already back in the UK. He could have missed the next two games as well.
  11. For those criticising Kaminski look where Johnson is though- I know the ball was travelling relatively slowly but Johnson is so deep it doesn't give an off balance Kaminski positioned to dive to his right to gather the shot any chance to shift his weight to go left.
  12. I got number 10 wrong but their answer is incorrect I believe. Accrington Stanley came into existence in 1891 with the merger with Stanley Villa so the first game at Ewood in 1890 was against Accrington.
  13. Went to that one. The save which Mimms pulled off and rolled over on it had all the Rovers fans convinced it had gone in. Then we were looking for the ball and finally astonished to see Bobby stand up with it. We got pummelled that day by Millwall but came away with the 3-1 win.
  14. Two games ago Rovers were irresistibly fluid. I hope Saturday was a function of Holtby and Rothwell missing combined with Cardiff showing how to nullify Johnson and Dolan, block off Brereton and isolate Armstrong being replicated by Forest. Now there are three new outfield player signings who are "competing for places" which based on Saturday's showing should be a competition they win. My fervent hope is Elliott is able to play for us the way he has shown he can for Liverpool and disrupt the two solid lines of opposition shirts Cardiff and Forest have so effectively used against us. One player reliably doing that is going to create the space for Holtby, Rothwell and eventually Dack to cause mayhem. However, we have two and a third seasons of Mowbray in the Championship which sadly suggest you are right 47er.
  15. I think the FA Youth Cup continuation is being played on the eligibility for 19/20 season. So players registered at the club and under 18 at 31 December 2018 and are still at the club. Otherwise much of the team which started out in the competition in September 2019 would now be debarred for being over age!
  16. Plus we can expect at least some of the new signings and the players recovering from injury to get the permitted over age run outs in occasional games for the under 23s like Ayala did.
  17. Helped by Rovers going into Calamity Jane mode for the last ten minutes as well. It was clear the confidence that any Rovers player could make a pass and we'd keep possession had drained out of the entire side.
  18. Rovers won 1-0 at Southampton. Top of the table now: Chelsea U23 5 4 0 1 11:5 12 Brighton U23 5 3 2 0 9:5 11 Blackburn U23 4 3 1 0 9:3 10 Tottenham U23 4 3 1 0 7:2 10
  19. McBride again after 12 minutes. iFollow Rovers don't seem to know the game has even started!
  20. Nothing happening on either club's site. Rovers with a very young team reflecting the involvement of under 23s in yesterday's Forest game. 1 JORDAN EASTHAM (GK) 6 JOE GRAYSON (C) 5 SAMUEL BARNES 4 LOUIE JOHN ANNESLEY 11 BEN PATON 7 ISAAC WHITEHALL 2 DAN PIKE 3 LEWIS THOMPSON 8 JALIL SAADI 9 SAM BURNS 10 CONNOR MCBRIDE SUBSTITUTES 15 JAKE GARRETT 12 SAM DURRANT 14 JARED HARLOCK 13 AIDAN DOWLING
