Morishita, Wharton & Carter start Pears back on the bench

We'll have to sell the whole team to pay that.

I will be pleasantly surprised if we avoid conceding first 20 minutes 😉

Oxford leading against 10 man Leicester is far from ideal

I think we have been badly let down by local radio and press..

I will be pleasantly surprised if we avoid defeat !

Why would we need to chuck in a goal-scorer, into our prolific team ?

Iv'e often wondered how many advisers and consultants are on the payroll.

Ohashi has never played on the wing before. Ismael suggested that with Gudjohnsen adjusting to the league and having only trained once, that he is unlikely to need to be chucked in like Henriksson was.

The wage bill stated in the accounts staying roughly the same over the past 5 years (£25.5M give or take £200K apart from the 21/22 season when it was £24.3M), despite obvious cuts to the playing staff would indicate that something is not as it seems

Surely they couldn't be diverting wages from the football squad into the non playing staff whilst keeping the overall costs the same ? Could they .......

It just smells of some of the stuff we've seen in the past. Bring him in - get commission Get him fit then a large pay per game fee - Commission In the shop window hopefully plays well and earns a contract, not necessarily here - Commission. Proper 'vehicle' stuff.

I keep my mum's photo in my phone wallet

Axel broken hand so not travelled. I had forgotten about him. Would be a bit off for Gudjonsson to star against France and go on the bench today. Andre up top and the Japanese lads on the flanks?

I fully expect the next set of accounts to show that the overall wages paid are inexplicably the same as the last god knows how many years, which would then point squarely in the direction of certain non playing members of staff

And that is exactly the situation we face.The interview tells all we need to know...individuals on Easy St,no pressure to achieve with no targets or expectations set from those in control of the Club.The good ship BRFC, with no Captain at the Helm, just bobbing along in the middle of nowhere. Its shyte.

Agreed. I can't help wondering if there is a deliberate functionality in the actual churn produced. Who gains etc?

Yeah, it might be handy if the flags were not blocked at the entrance...and I witnessed this happening to a supporter of many years with a completely non-abusive flag...

Also @chaddyrovers was there any point in the interviews whereby you felt that they were not telling the truth, spinning the situation or any points where you felt that further questions were required?

The new Franz Carr.

Honest questions..Do you think that the plan enacted by Suhail and Gestede will make Rovers a better team? What is your assessment of the risks entailed?

Your mum sounds very much like my mum. I miss her nearly everyday day. I have her bus pass where I can see it on the table next to my usual seat in our lounge. They were a great generation who went through a lot without feeling sorry for themselves. You were right not attempt any treatment. I found my mum in similar circumstances and I knew right away that she’d gone. My condolences to you and the rest of your family.

Well that's completely fucked it, thanks Mercer. Good to see Morishita getting a start today, in a grim transfer window he's pretty much the only potentially exciting addition for me. Yuki up top on his own not ideal but suppose we'll ease Gudjohnsen in. Hedges needs to replicate his previous goal and Carter needs to stay fit, not much to ask for. Going for 1-1.
