The games are coming fast and furious, sadly our players are slow and ponderous.

As you settle down to watch the game against the Boggies I will be siting down to yet another cruise meal lubricated by vast amounts of Barolo. Yes it is the annual cruise to catch some sun while 95% of the UK moans about the weather.

The cruise did not start off too well as I decided to book my own hotel at the embarkation city of Mumbai. I thought I was booking a 4 star hotel, the price should have given me a clue as my room overlooked a river of sh!t rather than a river of charm.

Instead of using the local facilities I opted for the more common approach of sh!ting in the street; I enjoyed the opportunity to talk to the local ladies and waifs while cleaning myself with The Times of India during my ablutions. A great way to ingratiate oneself with the locals.

Thankfully I have now joined my cruise and we are steaming ahead for Goa before heading for Bangkok and then onto Singapore where, subject to the aircraft doors closing properly, I will be winging my way to back to Blighty in time for a John Bull & chips and the Huddersfield home game.

i have decided to take the obligatory photograph of the buffet last night and this will be forwarded to Rovers caterers Sodexho suggesting similar for Jacks Kitchen.

It is about time Rovers got round to winning ways again in the League. This is also our first opportunity to secure a double against the Blaggies after a narrow 2-1 victory for the Rovers in our first game of the season.

Our very own foodie and Rovers expert Anne Widdlechops will be at the match as the guest of honour in the Premier Suite* and Jacks Kitchen where she will be drumming up support for Rishi Supersnack. Anne reckons Rovers will win 2-1 while BB will no doubt be on the ball with my prediction of a 3-1 win for Rovers (too much wine addling the brain).

West Brom to win 3-1.

The good news is that 4 teams below us are playing each other so even if we were to slip down to 19th place (with the teams immediately below us both winning) that would mean the gap to the bottom 4 would be maintained with 1 more game ticked off.

We are nearer the play off places points wise than the relegation spots, let’s be positive eh?

In the telewag it says Gallagher and JRC are travelling to WBA surely niether are match fit.
Tomasson says neither Gallagher nor Rankin-Costello are "game-ready", but that both could come on for short cameos.

Pears is also travelling with the squad, so I think he'll be on the bench after playing for the U21s against Reading.

No Sammy S and no Pickering as both fell ill last night.

Only 8 subs but Gally and JRC return to the bench.

I wonder if Szmodics is talking over a move.
That's what I thought. Though as fans were screaming for Szmodics to come off against Cambridge he appeared to pull his groin. So who knows. It could of course be both (an injury and a move).

Sigurdsson with the touch of an elephant when we are in an excellent attacking position.
