Just for Clarity, I post as lraC (Carl) backwards.

Agreed we missed the boat but you had said if they have been offered they have eventually still not good enough mind you also if trav has been offered 30k (I don’t believe so) then his agent deserves a knighthood

Don had a couple of years maybe before Jack started making a difference. He funded Archibald and Ardilles didn’t he? Propped up the Riverside, put a big ad on the Blackburn End roof. Don did a good job, but he definitely had a helping hand. The Mackay years were exciting, the Saxton years steady-ish, which got him the push in the end. As I recall the years between Kendall and Mackay, the predominant feeling was a bit like now: going nowhere, no dosh, anyone any good gets sold before their prime.

Fair enough. Happy to leave it at that, until O2G has had the time to respond and given us the clarity, you, I and others, request.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but Miyoshi set up a goal when he came on. Not that it matters as our dawdling has cost us that one due to the permit situation.

10/10

Or a relegated club.

Agreed.

My thoughts were based on Venkys being the real owners and the agents taking advantage of how stupid they are. Many other theories are available.

They werent at easter, they all said themselves. At that point, youve missed your best chance.

He won't be pleased about that, you'll be getting a thumbs down for daring to question why he hasn't read the minutes despite him posting regularly in the thread where everyone else is discussing the minutes.

Yep, was at Bloomfield Road, you could tell he was different gravy.

Where has that information came from? No way he gets offered 30k per week not a chance

Yeah, they’re the only ones daft enough to pay that sort of money.

Thought the performances/body language of Travis and Tronstad tells us more about the state of the club than of the players themselves.

Good, we can do them for tampering.

Glen confirmed offers have/had been made

Mostly Rams fans pissing their knickers at the thought of getting Trav.

He’s at best, a very average Championship player. If there is a team prepared to pay him that coin, I would be amazed and they must be absolutely mad.

Oh, there'll be someone there, quite looking forward to it.

Another club may well be offering well above what we can afford. Which is why we should have offered these players deals far sooner, if we even have at all. No excuse. At least we can replace another proven Championship experienced player with a no mark from some backwater.

The more outside influences, that are aware of the problems at the Rovers the better.

Agreed entirely this is an income generating competition each round potentially =£ our players need mins together especially after watching the new ones yesterday we are Rovers we should be going for this competition

Alright, watched the game on RoversTV now, here's my ratings: Toth (6) - good shot stopping but poor distribution. Doesn't command his area well as he often went for punching the ball away from several crosses. Needs to stop chipping the ball in own half. Ribeiro (6) - is supposed to be part of a back three when in possession but got caught out of position a few times during first half when roamed into central midfield for some reason. McLoughlin (6,5) - looked solid, didn't make any clear errors from what I could see. Hyam (5,5) - doesn't look comfortable on the ball. A liability whenever we decide to play out from the back. Alebiosu (7) - good going forward when using his pace. Fouled in the lead-up to their goal as he was being held. Needs to work on his crosses. Tronstad (4) - surprisingly bad performance. Several misplaced passes in which one of them nearly led to a goal. Travis (5) - was at fault for not stopping Price going on the inside for their goal; looked like he didn't even try. Has great work rate but zero drive going forward. Has his mind elsewhere? Hedges (1) - Completely anonymous throughout ninety minutes. Zero attacking intent, zero quality going foward. The man is stealing a living at this point. De Neve (4) - struggled badly with the physical part of the game. Poor deliveries from set pieces as well. Henriksson (3) - thrown in straight away and looked way off it. Were more interested in fouling opponents. Ohashi (6) - Tried to work out chances on his own with limited service. Probably should've gotten a penalty in the first half. Subs: Kargbo (8) - possesses great pace, managed to get several WBA players booked whenever he made an attacking run. Poor crosses however and will have to work on it. Think he would be way more effective and dangerous playing on the right hand side instead to attack the half-space and drive into the penalty box as his decision-making isn't always that good when cutting inside from the left. Miller (6) - has a great long throw but doesn't look very athletic or technical. Is not suited playing as a fullback unless he forms a back three when in possession. Gueye (6) - won a few aerial challenges but didn't get enough service from his teammates when entering the box. Needs to be closer to opposition defenders to push down their defensive line. Tavares (N/A) - played last ten minutes but was rarely involved in the game. Tactical approach (3) - poor from Ismael tactically, thought the team were second-best in the first thirty minutes. WBA were more aggressive in winning the challenges, had more intensity and more attacking intent during that period. Tempo went down quite a lot during second half, we controlled possession but weren't particularly close in creating any chances of note. Felt there was a lack of ideas and creativity when entering final third and just went for long balls in the last ten minutes when chasing the game. Hopefully it gets better when Cantwell is back. Also find it laughable that we lost so many challenges and duels having recruited players for that specific purpose all summer.

30k must be Wrexham
