I'm watching Sheff Utd v Sunderland, like watching chaotic ping pong. I can see why we want to play the way we are doing

Yep. Down to 10 men, 1-0 down against a decent team, they need a huge performance to get a point- let alone a win. Probably do well to limit the damage to -1 on the goal difference.
Must be a decent crowd there tonight; two "big" clubs and not a huge travel distance.

Sunderland took 3,500 to Bristol last week, so I've no doubt they've sold whatever they've been given tonight, great support.

He’s listed as playing. You’re the second person who said he’s not playing. The first person was being extremely silly. Are you being the same?

I wasn't being silly, I genuinely missed his name. But at least they are getting battered 3-0.

Most of rovers goals this season have been worldies/long range punts but that’s not sustainable. Back down to earth tonight.

No outstanding teams yet is there? Expect Norwich to get going now but if we can continue to pick up points while we're gelling we should be in the mix.

Oh dear Rovers getting a right royal pasting tonight.

And those results are decent for us, all the teams taking points from each other.

West Brom yet to win, you do wonder how long Bruce will get there.

We are playing as well as anybody in the league. Dominated the games we have played. We just need that killer touch and when/if we find it there really is nothing to fear in this division. We simply can't continue to dominate possession and territory and not get any reward for it.
Norwich will pick up no doubt and Sheffield Utd look the best of the rest.

I watched roverrrrsssss in a bar tonight on hols. To see how amazing they are, roverrrrrerrs fans on twitterrrrrrrrr tell me they are stella this yearrrrrr.

They looked absolutely awful. A real pub team. Loads of big dirty players, but awful with the ball. They literally fly into everything at 100 mph. If they scored 1st against us would make it hard as they are a bad version of us of old. Going forwards they will miss BBD, as he is the only one who can kick a ball.

Blackburrrrrn got mudded tonight... bubble burst, now back down to Earth. They really are not that good.
