What about the set piece against Everton, it would have been goal of the month, if it hadn't been for a fantastic save.

It's whats been missing at Ewood, a decent crosser of the ball for the strikers in the box.

Who knows. It won't stop me posting what I do and if they think they can ban me for calling them out for the way they are damaging the club, I have supported through thick and thin for 5 years, they are wrong.

Another question you need to be asking Rovers instead of posting on here email and seek the answers you want to your question. Rumours were Waggott was lining up a home friendly before his departure, who against I don't or what ever happened I don't. email or asked the Dutch authorities why this was done? email Rovers have asked the same questions you are here instead of posting on here?

It's not always about the delivery though. I saw many good corners in particular last season that we didn't take advantage of or were well defended.

And now Overton gone.

LBW decisions shouldn’t take that long.

We're allowed 4 ESC spots. Ohashi qualifies now so yes, Henriksson will take out last spot.

Smith failed again.

Still waiting to hear how social media videos with the players and streams of friendlies on YouTube shows any kind of comms improvement/is something to praise a Championship club for?

So if Henriksson comes in is that our last ESC slot taken? Totth, Kargbo, Mafoumbi, Henriksson and Ohashi? Would Ohashi not qualify now?

Last season Cantwell and even Ribeiro usually took them and neither were very good set piece takers.

What are basing our set pieces takers are then?

Down to the bowlers…

No he didn't. He said it was down to past mistakes, but both Pasha and Gestede were in situ when the contracts should have been looked at last summer. They were also in Situ when Eustace was saying "I think the players would like to know (on their futures)."

Does this mean we can't try and get #VenkysOut trending on X anymore?

He's never going to be Whartons class but he's still a very tidy player

According to Nicko The Swede and Aussie should be announced today

Until its too late? We know that our current set piece takers are not very good. Theres going to be more height in the team so why not take advantage.

England should win but an early wicket and anything could happen

The board, the manager and Gestede are on the same page… (accepting we have a functioning board)… Well yes indeed, record of failure, incompetence, ability to be economical with the truth with a smirk, ability to accept a new orthodoxy at the drop of a hat (it’s now cost cutting masquerading as promoting youth), ability to promote a narrative on social media and elsewhere that Stalin would be proud of, and some would say connections with an agency similar to Keane.

A week ago this https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/july/28/u18s-fixtures-confirmed-/ appeared on Rovers website but the article only gives information about the first two fixtures and listing the teams in the league. The fixtures still haven't been uploaded onto the website https://www.rovers.co.uk/Matches/u18 It probably doesn't mean a lot to the majority but quite a few who want to watch the under 18's deserve better.

I'll ask again - why was the game only announced less than 2 weeks ago after having a blank weekend in the diary for months? And more importantly why are Rovers agreeing to / arranging a game - the final friendly before the season starts in our 150th anniversary season - not behind closed doors but open to home fans and closed to away fans? If I was running Rovers and Nijmegen or their local authorities started coming with that sort of stuff I would have told them to 'do one' and found someone else to play who was willing to accommodate both home and away fans. I went to Holland in 2012 and whatever 'trouble' there was blown out of all proportion and there was very little evidence of any trouble or risk of it. Why that means 13 years later a hundred or so people couldn't go to watch a friendly I'm not sure.

well you clearly have. Set Pieces have been mixed, good in some games and poor in some. I have seen Rovers played awful in pre season Lets see how set pieces are first.

As a one off, it could be forgiven, but it isn't and some of the things that go on, are quite frankly embarrassing. Does anyone believe for example that the way the club have marketed our 150th anniversary is acceptable?
