  1. I'd like to think the only way he's dodgy is in the eyeballs but that lowlight reel is grim. If you're going to purposely let one in though there are less obvious ways than Sundays howler.
  2. We've already blow 800k plus add ons probably on Leo so the chances of any keeper changes are virtually zero i'm afraid. The only chance was when Pears was doing ok earlier under Eustace he might have caught the attention of another Champ club who want an English keeper in their squad for a modest fee. That would've freed up a wage and position but i dread t think who Broughton would've foisted on us next, most likely Leo !!!
  3. We continue the Waggot Venky express train to be the new Crewe of League 1. Income targets reduced and easier to hit. Wage budget and matchday expense reduced and easier to manage with less from India. Academy downgrade and merged with first team on one site - cheaper and easier to manage. Pathway to first team squad easier for more players. Less big money sales but more quicker cheaper ones with add ons to Championship clubs. Ta ta DoF in cost saving measure but CEO and Shadow remain in well paid part time work running it all.
  4. A brainless one seeing as Coventry are likely to be pushing a result or at least just celebrating another good season and having a party in their last away fixture. Roll up roll up to the Ewood red carpet Sky Blues, if you're lucky you might get gifted a goal or two as well.
  5. Brittain, Hedges, JRC, Markandy, Garrett, Pickering, Wharton should all be above average in league 1 consistently. Pears will still be Pears and Leo will shit bricks at the amount of hoofs and set pieces coming at him in that league. All the other pros will be gone and the rest of the youngsters have it all to prove, it will be a long hard winter for sure.
  6. Iv'e said it many times since we aren't losing that pathetic last min goal to Coventry at Ewood with TK in the sticks. Main difference is though he was a keeper who earns points with vital saves at crucial points in games, Pears and his ilk still make good stops but 9/10 a half decent effort will beat him too easily. It''s those fine margins between real class and bang average.
  7. The main point being once Weds went two up down that end having so many fans having a carnival in one end became more of a help to them than it should have been. And it was avoidable so why give teams that opportunity in the first place in what was really a one off 6 pointer not a run of the mill game.
  8. Yes Pears has rescued both him and Hyam a time or three this season from their constant presenting the ball to the opposition.
  9. I see nothing in him or his style that would give us a real chance of bouncing straight back his football would only prosper in league one if he can bring in a couple of bruisers at the back and a couple of strikers. I'm still mixed in opinion on his actual impact since taking over as although he made strides tightening up there are half a dozen games where we can justifiably say we should have have been displaying a clear 'must win' attitude but didn't. If we do survive it's going to be by the skin of or teeth rather than some heroic rescue act by him but yes the problems run deeper as we say on Sunday.
  10. Yep the Weds fans only really influenced their side once they'd been gifted two goals again down that end, one a counter and piss poor defending again and one the howler of the century. Not much action at all in front of the home end until Markandy came on apart from Sammie missing one he should have scored. 'But why are you not cheering'....
  11. That's because it's always been a small town family club fanbase and a fairly big ground not often full, plenty other clubs have the same type of fanbase. It's the stadium itself that is the giant white elephant way too big and way too accommodating for visiting fans from much larger areas. PNE and Burnley, Blackpool and Bolton fans no different whatsoever....their stadiums are though. As someone who has travelled all over supporting Rovers through various periods of form etc i will die on the hill that most places are the same when their team is shite, their are problems at the club or there is nothing to play for. The exceptions are very rare but again most don't have a stadium way to big for their core fanbase and town. Coventry, Sheff Weds, Derby, Stoke, Boro, Sunderland, West Brom, Villa, Brum, to name a few iv'e visited regularly over last decade or so and all shite atmosphere and empty seats all over the gaff when things weren't going well. Yet again amongst our small minded fans it only ever happens at Ewood !!! Have some of you lot ever actually been anywhere else apart from when Rovers were on a good run ?
  12. Yep another day of watching a rowdy DE full of big city day trippers on piss enjoying their big day out at Ewood ! From another club reborn from the doldrums whilst we trudge aimlessly on providing a gravy train and nest egg for a few useless disconnected individuals in head office. But hey why aren't there 20k in home sections cheering from the rooftops this team who've let us down for 3/4 of the season ?
