Didnt say we had I said IF.Personally i'd send the academy team and let hudge have his cc/grand final win

I actually think this is worth more than just two points, the winner of this game is likely to get a home tie in the playoffs so its more of a 4 pointer imo. That said, I can't seem to draw up any enthusiasm for the game and won't be sulking for days like usual if we lose. I just cant think of anything else but Wembley at the moment.

Ive just got one from the shop in town and they only had a hand full left and she said the kc only had a few left also .

Only £18 Im sure I paid £22 last season but I could be wrong

11 pages about a game that apparently nobody cares about

NOBODY ??

Nobody?

Most people have said they do care.

I have to be honest I want us to win, but certainly wouldn't be as bothered if we lost as I have in the past.

I care! Win we take their league position off them at their ground


We guarantee top 8
with victory next week n 1from Wigan or saints game should give us a home tie in the play offs.
Plus this another game to build continuity and confidence going into the final.
Looking forward to it!!!

Sean Long?

'Nobody' was a sweeping overstatement to add to the sarcastic nature of my post. Calm down. I just hate the ones who say they dont care then celebrate like theyve won the league if their team does win. I suppose I better point out, that doesnt apply to everyone

Indeed, the east stand are still cheering

Well, I for one want us to win. I can't understand any fan not being bothered. Should want your team to win every game irrespective of who they are playing. I can accept getting beaten by a better team, but I'd still be disappointed that we lost.

When you come up against a team which is within a few points on the league table and by definition, not streets ahead or behind you, I'd expect to go into that game to win.

Any one being "not bothered" needs to have a word with themselves .

Given the respective positions of each club it's big game for both teams.

If Rovers play to their best, we'll win. It's as easy as that.

I agree

Ha ha ha

As a retro shirt nerd I was really impressed to just see a guy wearing your 95-96 home shirt (black and white hoops with the ABI logo in black and white, with 'OLD FAITHFUL' on the back across the shoulders). Very, very smart shirt to be fair, one of your better home shirts the last 20 years I reckon.

My bellys off like fack

must be DERBY day come on you ulllllllllaaaaaarrrrr.

never confident going into these games. and nothing different in that respect today. however I do think fc will be a whole heap better than they have been against rovers this year so far.

Do we know the teams yet?

Which rovers players have been omitted from the 19man squad?

Everyone apart from Dobson ans Burns.

The rest are in the boozer.

ive been watching derby games for to long to predict anything, all derby games to me are 50/50 ,

any know the team sheets yet?

Green for Lynch on the bench

Smailes has just posted the team sheets on twitter. If we can't win with those respective 17s we don't deserve to make the play offs. We are 20 points better on paper.
