I take it you grew up in Lancashire then ONIGP ?
No, RLC. Bromborough born and bred, so the home games are a great excuse to keep in regular touch with family and friends. Moved to East Lancs in 1992 for work after Marconi Neston started winding down, married, children, grandchildren, divorced etc …. I can't see myself ever moving back to be honest. Absolutely ZERO split loyalties, although I like to see all the local teams do well; one daughter works for Blackburn Rovers (Bastards), the majority of my work colleagues are probably Burnley (Dingles) and you can't help but admire what Accy have achieved over the past 10 years. Believe me it can be good fun being uniquely ambivalent to the Blackburn/Burnley rivalry!

I wasn’t at the Shrewsbury game but eyebrows raised seeing cookie dropped and only one striker on the pitch assuming CJ will support.

hopefullyp not negative as it’s. Winnable game and one we can’t afford to lose

I’m surprised too. A lot resting on the midfield now and no point in pumping a string of high balls into the box, must play on the deck.

Yes, that's my take. I would expect Vaughan to take most of the flak with CBT, Jennings and others feeding off him.

It is no secret that several players were made available for transfer in January, probably including Nelson.

However, that does not imply there has been any falling out with the manager, something you suggested a couple of posts ago in relation to both Ferrier and Payne.
all bar 6 were made available for transfer

Great half from Rovers. Real good team performance. Defending well, Ellis and Clarke excellent at the back. Midfield playing well really putting a shift in. CBT even tracking back.

Accrington still dangerous on the attack though. They get forward in numbers and do it quick. Come on Rovers!

Accy seem to be having the bulk of possession second half. Danns for Jennings and Perkins for McCullough seem to be a slightly more defensive line-up
