Beat me to it claretburns, wins for Blackpool & Boro would a bonus.

QPR seem to feeling the loss of Michael Neale, although their form was dipping prior to his departure.

Morecambe-Accy a vital relegation clash in League 1.

Also Weghorst currently playing for Besiktas, been booked for unsportsmanlike conduct and just had a goal disallowed.

When checking the match I saw Nathan Redmond has come on as a substitute for Besiktas, had no idea he played for them!

Me neither! Apparently left on a free but wasn't out of contract as he did play once this season for Southampton.

Sorry for repeating the oft-repeated but this season's Championship is so incredibly tight. Just two points between QPR and Luton before the match.

Only one team averageing two points per match and just one with less than one point per game.

Ilias Chair is obviously quite handy, totally wasted though is this poor QPR team.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 7:09 pm

I can't get over the fact that Watford in 4th are nearer relegation than the top.

It seems half the Championship are chanting EIEIEIO

He’d fit quite nicely into a Vincent Kompany team…

Luton have only lost 6 games, the third lowest.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 7:40 pm

Stunning 3rd for Luton

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 7:44 pm

Cummon the Smoggies and the Lashers. Think I’ll be channel hopping via the red button. At least we get the last 15mins of SheffU unchallenged.

Rovers take an early lead against Boro

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 7:59 pm

Are tonight's matches on the red button? It only gives me the Sheff Utd option.

They’ve changed the system. Highlight the SheffU match and go left, all games are there. I’m on 402 btw.

Red button not working for me will watch bpool v blades

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:14 pm

May the Forss be hooked fairly soon. 4 times he’s had decent attacking positions and he’s screwed it up every one of them.

It's on their main slot.

Blackpool hit the bar.

Sheffield United looking vulnerable to crosses into the box!!!!!!

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:27 pm

Boro started well, a long punt forward, looked offside but goal stands.
No suitable replays on RoversTV...

Both sides look poor, Boro's 21 went through 1v1 and looked to have lead boots on

Rovers love a lump, and Boro cannot string 3 passes together, we really have nowt to fear if
A. 1 of these sides is 3rd
B. The other has won 4 of their last 5 games

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:28 pm

They have the best defensive record but when I have seen them they have looked dodgy. Wigan and Bristol City attacked them and they looked dodgy. Were lucky to get away with two wins.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:29 pm

Harrison Biggins, son of Wayne, gives Doncaster a 3-2 lead against Rochdale.

Blades one up

Sheffield Utd winning.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:37 pm

Levels above Blackpool I'm afraid

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:38 pm

Blackpool look like an accident waiting to happen defensively.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:40 pm

In the 6 games since Sheffield United played us, 5 of their games have been against teams in the bottom 6.

They’ll have tougher tests to come.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:41 pm

Considering how much we’re p!ssing this league, Sheff Utd are showing incredible consistency to keep pace with us.

Yeah, without checking the league table as such, I thought they'd had some pretty poor opponents. Their games since the return from the World Cup break have been very kind.

They drew 3.3 at Sheff Utd as well. Wasn't that the game with all the sending offs? Got a bit meaty at the end I think.

Red button up and running on 403. After you scroll left for match of choice go down to select “watch live”

Boro score

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:51 pm

Wouldn't be as bad if Blackpool could keep hold of the ball. No pressure on them and still finding white shirts.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:51 pm

Boro 1-1. Forss, I’m glad they didn’t hook him now.

We were still gelling as a team, particularly defensively, we were a bit naive, they had a great performance from their best player, Bowler, who has subsequently left.

Buckley throws ball into McGrees face. Red card.
I was just going to post that ref had missed it whilst booking Crooks.
Well done lino or 4th.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:54 pm

Buckley has been sent off for Rovers. No idea what happened.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:55 pm

I saw someone throw the ball into the back of a players head but that was a few minutes ago. Then he went to take a free kick and was sent off.

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:56 pm

Seems really harsh! Oh well, never mind.
