Looks like we'll have to consider offers for the likes of Bentley, Semenyo, Massengo etc to avoid penalties in the next couple of years which means relegation battles and forget about promotion for a while. Given our wage bill is only around mid-table for this league other clubs must be faced with similar dilemma.

Me and a couple of mates won a car in that draw, it was announced at a boxing day game and with all the noise we weren't 100 per cent sure it was our number until we got it confirmed after the game. At the next home game we were driven around the edge of the pitch in the car, then it left the stadium and we had to pay to get back in! In the original version of that draw the first prize was a house, can't see that happening again now.

The 2 games against Bath included here:

Hull City I believe

I was there, there was a gale-force wind blowing behind Cashley's kick. Rovers had the wind in their favour in the 1st half but only scored once

What a good idea, we're struggling so let's sell our top scorer who's in the top 10 in the Championship! Also one of the hardest workers in the side, I just don't understand some people.

I just thought I'd put it up there as my system is pretty secure. Your TV won't have any antivirus and is probably using an out-of-date version of the browser so I'd be careful, if it's compromised hackers will potentially have access to the rest of your network, eg your phone.

Note I clicked on this out of curiosity and my antivirus software flagged it as "known dangerous site"

Wasn't Huddersfield last season the last home win before our losing streak? From memory it was a very fortunate result for us. It was last January and after the game we were just outside the top 6, but it was the last time we would get any points with Holden as manager.

The combination of it being near Christmas, the virus and it's the first game where vaccine passports are going to be checked (City don't deal with new processes very well!) is going to mean a small crowd, at least it will give them time to refine the passport-checking process for when larger crowds attend.

When he first played under TC couldn't play more than half a match but most teams used to set up at AG to defend, if we had trouble breaking them down TC would bring Joe on with half hour to go, the next cross we put over JJ would put their keeper in the back of the net, get booked, and then their defenders would spend the rest of the game trying to 'get' him and completely lose their previous composure and organisation.

My wife and I have hard copy vaccine passports rather than relying on the app, hoping the club will accept these as well as on the app.

What are our other options assuming James not fully fit?

The only problem with black is that we always seem to get relegated when it's in the first strip (last time was 2012-13 when SO'D was manager and we went down). We also went down the season shown in your picture (Mick Harford).

I used to get Shoot every week. Regarding the kit I believe that we had white shorts and red socks that season, the black was part of our second strip of white shirts and black shorts, not sure why we ended up with that combination against Man City?

We're going to be missing our key midfielders again, with too many of the young players there in their absence we know we get overrun by other teams so Nige has got to think of something different, eg play Viner there and revert to a back four, and maybe try and make use of Simpson somehow, it might not work out but there's no point in picking the same as the last game as we know what will happen.

We look ok if we have most of our key players available, people were saying before the game that they were worried about the midfield being so young and the absence of an 'enforcer' such as Mattie Jame or Williams and that's exactly how it's played out. If we can recruit a couple more like them in Jan we'll be ok. If you look at our results since LJ left they've been ok except when were missing loads through injury which has often been the case.

Expect Rovers to play well today as it will be like their "cup final" playing at league leaders Forest Green

Reminded me of Tommy Doherty, both in attitude and appearance

Very quiet at AG, people saving up for Xmas?

He started off really well but was one of those keepers who was brilliant while confident but once he made an error it would usually be followed by another. Also tended to try and blame others when he made a mistake - I remember this happening at Wolves where he let in a late soft goal which he should have gathered then tried to blame Wilbraham, he was close to getting punched in that moment.

He's not very good at spending money on players, eg Tomlin!
