Would you prefer the red card Greaves got to be wrote off as well then ?

so why have them on the board in the first place then? seems very pointless why not just have board with no connection to any clubs in current employment?

The reason that the 3 Championship board members didn't vote, is that there would be an obvious conflict of interest if they did (leaving the EFLs decision open to a legal challenge from whichever team didn't get the result that they wanted) As things stand, nobody who voted gained in any way from the EFLs decision, The only reason that Rovers are questioning this is because the decision went against us. Can you imagine the kafuffle if Ridsdale had voted in favour of this result, Rovers lost the replay and and PNE pipped Rovers to staying up by a point, or if Norwich voted in favour of awarding Rovers the points, and subsequently finished in the play offs above Ipswich? For what it is worth, I feel that the fair result would have been to replay the game from the point it was abandoned/suspended, with as many factors remaining constant as possible (score/number of players, time left to play etc). And I hope that when a new rule is reached, this is what it is. However, nobody can accuse the EFLs board members of coming to any decision (regarding the Rovers Ipswich game) because it benefited them personally

This is easy for me to say as I no longer have a season ticket and don’t go to many games atm but the next two games are at home and both will be televised. Perfect opportunity for a boycott. Don’t go to home games until Elliott Jackson is allowed back. I know it won’t happen but still, empty stands on Sky will get us talked about and keep the pressure on

For once Chaddy just wake up and see the bigger picture going on here, your constant happy clapping posts are becoming tiresome.

to answer your question, I guess so. I was in favour of another right footed centre back signing in case of this.

That's exactly what he's doing and although they are very different types of players i'm still yet to see a lot that tells me he is even an actual better footballer than the limited Travis.

No it wouldn't. This isn't about one off results. And if it was we just got pumped by Charlton.

In an ideal world yes but football doesn't call into that category. The best managers can make the most of their resources but yesterday Ismael didn't and it contributed to the defeat. Whilst Carter is injured does that mean that Miller will start every game as our only right footed centre half? In my view it's cosmetic and illogical when it is to the detriment of the team.

Ismael could be instructed to get Taveres as minutes as possible. Like the guy who is injured, club propaganda working overtime! From what I have seen both of those signings are very strange.. But some will believe both are better than Travis!

For? Its embarrassing that 3 championship board members didnt vote so why a board with clubs members on it if they abstain in voting Why should the game not restart in 80 minute instead of a full game replaying? Also Cantwell's goal is written off but Greaves's red card still? So many inconsistent there

And just go back a week and if we had beaten Ipswich, its would another different story and Ismael got his tactics spot on against a team should be automatic promotion contenders.

I agree somewhere but I can understand you would like right foot and left foot at centre back ideally. Maybe during the first half we could have gone 3 at back and match us with them

Why are the Lancashire Telegraph banned from Ewood. They've been reporting on Rovers matches since 1886.

We need to put the Charlton game behind us, and get points on the board. Swansea and Stoke are far from easy games, they've both got off to a decent start. Let's pick the right team, and formation, and start winning at home.

Pickering's looked off it for about 5 years so was never going to be a step up on Ribiero yesterday. Think that will be the same whenever you throw him in.

Swansea have some very dangerous forwards. We will get a real hammering if we play like we did at the Valley.

I’m certain they wouldn’t stoop so low

Agreed. I hope the groups within the coalition can agree a protest strategy. My own belief is that Venky's, Suhail...and Gestede should all be in the..er..crosshairs lol

😂 sorry. A bit out of date.

The two at the Helmn now Gestede and Pasha are as bad as I’ve ever known and are not fit to be associated with the club. I am also of the opinion that Ismael was brought in to ensure that they had someone who would not rock the boat, when it was plain for all to see that they are at best incompetent, but perhaps it’s deeper than that. As we have seen over the last few days, they don’t like the local paper saying their bit about the shenanigans, so ensured this time, no JDT or Eustace type was appointed, just someone who is either complicit, or happy to turn a blind eye.

I’d say we are several hundred into the death of a thousand cuts…

That would have been even funnier if US weren’t on 4.5 pts. 😁

Players gave Val a really special early 50th birthday present yesterday.

Erstwhile U21 goal-getter here, Jack Vale, signed for Northampton, managed by Kevin Nolan. Interesting to see if he can stay fit and score some goals. Though, doesn't look likely to me as he struggled for goals in every loan spell he went on. Tyler Magloire was there before but released. He had a brutal knee injury that kept him out for over a year, ruptured ACL, MCL and torn meniscus. I read he is being looked at by Grimsby who have Zak Gilsenan.
