The final match of what’s been a highly entertaining fourth round of the competition – at least once we got to Saturday and Sunday – and it’s Championship outfit Blackburn taking on Wrexham of League Two. We know what the TV schedulers are looking out for here, and no, it’s probably not the star quality of Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men. Yes, it’s a bit of reflected glory from the streaming miniseries that continues to be so popular. It was this time last season that Phil Parkinson’s men faced Sheffield United in a rather bad-tempered but very exciting tie that went to a replay, the Blades winning out. Will Rob and Ryan be there? Oooh, let’s see. There’s also a football match to be played.

Last season at Cobb, Wrexham fans went wild in the away end and are doing the same tonight at Ewood Park. Ewood was a strange stadium and my main memory is of people constantly walking past the stands opposite the dugouts. It’s been a few years, but I don’t think much has changed.
Wrexham, miniseries versionbeat the Championship club in the FA Cup last season, so yes, I was there to see it.
Blackburn drew 1-1 with Huddersfield. And Huddersfield have just sacked Darren Moore. Thomason made five changes. Joe Rankin-Costello, Tyris Dolan, Scott Wharton, Andrew Moran and Arnor Sigurdsson will start. Adam Wharton is on the bench. Crystal Palace want him.
Ainsley Pears, in the Rovers goal, is the son of Middlesbrough great Steve Pears, who also played for Manchester United. Rovers are 18th in the Championship table. Sammy Schmodics has scored 19 goals this season and is the only player who has been called up to Ireland but is yet to play.
Wrexham lost 1-0. Last time we played against Welsh rivals Newport County. Newport, the same man who managed Manchester United, closed on Sunday. Phil Parkinson, who was banished to the stands, will be replaced twice, while Will Boyle will be suspended and replaced by Eoghan O’Connell. Andy Cannon will replace James Jones.
A weather forecast in honor of Jaco Pastorius.
From the Lancashire Evening Telegraph:
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain across east Lancashire. Blackburn and other parts of the county have been told to prepare for 17 hours of heavy rain.
The Yellow Alert will come into effect from midday today (January 29) and remain in place until 5am on Tuesday. The Japan Meteorological Agency says heavy rain could cause flooding and affect travel.

preamble
The final game of the fourth round of the highly entertaining competition, when it arrives at least on Saturday and Sunday, will see Championship side Blackburn take on League Two side Wrexham. We know what TV schedulers are looking at here, and no, it’s probably not the star quality of director John Dahl Thomasson’s men. Yes, this is a reflection of the glory of his streaming miniseries, which continues to be extremely popular. It was around this time last season that Phil Parkinson’s side faced Sheffield United. A rather awkward but very exciting draw resulted in a rematch, which was won by the Blades. Are Rob and Ryan there? Oh, let’s see. A soccer match will also be held.
Kick-off is 7:30 UK time. Please join us.
