Rovers play-off fight……..
…….all but over after Sheffield United won last night. For those who feared that our Premier League place would be taken by that lot down the road, well, you can rest a bit easier now, due to our resurgence and their mediocrity. They have fluffed their lines once again and we live to fight on. UTC

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
Going to save my gloating until after this weekends set of results. If we win today and Everton and Leeds lose, I will be a lot more confident.Guitargeorge wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:25 am…….all but over after Sheffield United won last night.

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
With all due respect I couldn’t care a flying fig about Rovers, I’m more interested in us obtaining enough points to stay up. This is not a dig at you by the way. I’m having sleepless nights at the moment.Guitargeorge wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:25 am…….all but over after Sheffield United won last night.

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
I still accept that we could be playing them next year, hence my “live to fight on” comment. My point was that they won’t be taking our place.

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
Thought Rovers got automatic promotion at Christmas?
Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
I do care what happens to Rovers.
I want their fans to be miserable and have dashed hope.
I want us always to be above them, and always better than them so we can eventually squash them into the dirt.

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
It's like being back in the late '80's watching the Dollopers' annual fight against promotion. The semi final, second leg away at Palace was a classic.
Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
Deluded dick heads.
Mowbray actually has done a good job there, despite what the majority of their fans think. They had been whingeing about Bournemouth born (but Luton fan) Keith Stroud being appointed referee for this weekend’s game against Bournemouth, saying it would effectively end their play off hopes and he’d be against t’Roverrrrrrs due to his Luton and Bournemouth connections.
He’s since been replaced but your team’s dreadful form ended your play off hopes a couple of weeks ago, chums.

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
Strange that Rovers have hit the buffers just when Burnley have rediscovered some form, and it's been glorious to witness their fall from grace again.
We win today, and Rovers lose, and it's unlikely we'll be meeting them next season, not in the league anyway.

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
Even if they do win their last 2 it's out of their hands, not impossible they could yet sneak in, but it would require a bizarre sequence of results.ElectroClaret wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 11:27 amEven if they draw today, they're out of it.
They can't catch Sheff U unless they win both remaining games.
And Bournemouth desperately need the points to keep Forest at bay for the 2nd auto spot.

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
Just a cautionary note.
Should they win today, they will have won two on the bounce and would probably only have to beat Birmingham next week to get above Sheff U on GD, since Sheff U are playing Fulham.
We would then have to rely on Middllesbrough winning both games.
I'm not celebrating anything yet.

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
Most might disagree. But I'd like them to get promoted if we stay up. I really enjoy beating them
Sheffield Utd still have Fulham to play on the final day, and Boro's form has dipped of late, so its not over yet by any means. If anything can happen in football, then the Championship is the place

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
I hope they win today for a few reasons;
1 - I'd prefer Forest to come up instead of Bournemouth
2 - it'd give Rovers hope going in to the last game, only to fall pathetically, gloriously short
3 - should they scrape in, the thought of Rovers getting all giddy about winning promotion only to be beaten at Wembley by Luton Town of all teams gives me a bit of a semi.

But in spite of everything, including our own dodgy position, its still nice to check the results and see they've lost.

Never rule it out, remember how Preston snuck in on the last day with a bonkers goal swing, Cardiff losing by 6 or something like that. Wasn’t it the Coyle promotion season?

Re: Rovers play-off fight……..
Venkys could fund a manager like Dyche and cherry pick a team capable of walking the Championship..and all out of the petty cash tin..
That they choose not too, and allow the club to remain in limbo indefinitely is a source of amusement to me.

I'd love Rovers to be leading Bournemouth 1-0 till injury time, then the Cherries equalise.
Then they're out of it.

29 for the season for Solanke, Mitrovic on 806 or whatever he’s on now. Some effort.

A cracking day we take a giant step towards PL safety, and Rovers flop at home and see their PO hopes end.
Now if City and Chelsea can do the business it'll be a perfect weekend.

At this point, the other end was somewhere on the outskirts of Blackburn.
