I heard Stocky's injury has flared up again.

[mushRTID]

So we might never see Sully again in a rovers shirt. Gutted if thats the case. Gutted.

[bessacarrover]

oh ben smith in it makes me feel good not! y isnt sully playing? come on rovers extend his contract plz  

[dknward2]

could be another high scoring game ill go for 3-2 to swans copps and jet for us kuqi,pratley and beattie for them


either that or a boring 1-1 draw

[DonnyBazR0ver]

No Stock or Oster on midfield means it's likely to be damage limitation.

With Smithy in goal, you worry about his uncanny knack of letting in long range shots however, Swansea and not renowned for peppering the goal.

You could say it's got 0-0 written all over it !

[bessacarrover]

ive got a good feeling bout this one ill go for 2-0 rovers jet and hayter to score

If this really is the end of Sullivan's career then it's a crying shame we haven't been able to give him the send off he deserves. For someone who supposedly came as a spent force, he's become a Rovers great.

We've been fortunate to have two consecutive big men in the nets. The sort who have stepped up when we needed them in the big moments. Andy Warrington' performance at Chester set us on our way, and in it's own way, Sullivan's calm assurance on the 2nd half at Wembley was as important. He gave that \"Don't worry lads - they'll not get past me\" confidence that allowed the rest of the side to play it's usual game.

If we don't see you again, good luck with your next club. They'll be getting a diamond.

maybe sulli has got a coaching opition and has took it up either with rovers fingers crossed or maybe some other championship or prem club

[Bentley Bullet]

John Ryan thinks the world of Sully and has said that when he retires he hopes there will be a  position within the club available to him.

[Dutch Uncle]

Bit worried about today (despite Swansea being my 'second team')

Compared to what I was hoping we are missing a spine without Sulli, Shackell, Stock/Oster. If you include Sharp and Woods in that then it is quite a long way below our theoretical strongest team

Dunno but it's very strange that he's not even on the bus to Swansea. It'll all come out eventually, usually does.
