Would you drop either of Ohashi or Gudjohnsen for him ?

I couldn’t watch the game today, we were booked in at the Royal Exchange in Manchester to see “ Singing In The Rain “. I was sat in my seat feeling quite relaxed about the game today. Then at 2-00 I looked at the team on my phone . What the fuck was that team selection all about ? I thought I was good at slotting players in roles but that was totally inexplicable. I couldn’t figure out who should be playing where. It looked like he’d put all the players names into a hat and just picked out the first 11 names. There wasn’t a tackle in the midfield. My heart sank when I saw that team. In such a big game ! What was he thinking off ? What was the plan ? Has anybody asked him ? Come 5-15 and I’m on my way out of the theatre so I have a quick look at the scores. Scored first and lost to bloody Portsmouth. Where do we go from here ? I’ve defended Ismael in the past but I can’t defend that selection today. Does he really want to be fired ? Is it time for a pay off ? That starting team said “ Please Sack Me “ in my eyes. Incidentally - “ Singing In The Rain “ is brilliant, but I’m on a totally downer now !

We've employed Steve Kean before and this lot are on the verge of making Gestede the CEO. Don't put Shabani Nonda as manager beyond them

But better than the dross brought in last summer

I don't think it will stop there, League Two looming in 15 months time.. The recruitment is shocking and the few decent players remaining, will leave in Jan or July 26, transfer money disappearing into the ether!

To a degree, yes.

you can`t really blame ismael,they`ve done exactly to him what they did to jdt and eustace,the only difference is,he has`nt complained or ****** off (yet)

What exactly are the Coalition doing please? All I have seen is 2 statements in 5 months and I see the Trust also produced a survey in early October and have yet to release the findings. There is rumour of a 135/15 sticker and a leaflet; are these available yet? Fans rightly point the finger at the club for failing to feed back from every single survey they undertake.

We had one! I would think the reputation of the Club is now such that we won't find another,

A "proper manager? Could have fooled me.

He has no impact and opposition centre backs have him in their pocket. If he hadn't scored a few goals he'd be as bad as Chris Brown.

is this 👆the post you were thinking of?

The Academy I suppose?

He always looks like a rabbit in the headlights.

Don't see much merit in sacking Ismael. He's a yes man but at least he's a proper manager, who knows what the alternative would be. I know we've struggled with seeing games out but I don't think there's many games I disagree with his subs, it's just the subs are shite. It's like asking a general to fight a war with dads army on the front lines. You can't pad a military out with bits and bobs.

Put TGH in his place and lose every match.

This time he's throwing certain players under the bus. He's right that they were at fault but who keeps selecting DeNeve and Ribeiro?

You can sack him yes. It’s very difficult to back him TBH. It won’t make any difference though. The fundamentals at the club give his replacement virtually no chance of success. He wouldn’t get backed properly, he wouldn’t be allowed to have much, if any say on sales or incomings. The people above are a bunch of chancers only in it for themselves. Rovers aren’t just one fix away from succeeding in any way. In all my time supporting the club, in seasons where we struggle there was always some hope. Maybe key players were out, maybe there were easier fixtures ahead. Or maybe a decent signing in the next window would have an effect. I don’t feel this way ATM. People saying today we’re in trouble. We’ve been in trouble since this crew turned up.

None of the available centre backs are good enough to play in a back four. And it negates the team's main attacking threat Alebeouso.

Didn’t even listen or know the score till half an hour ago I’m that disenfranchised at the moment. If we can’t beat the teams around us at the bottom we will go down. Whole setup is league one from board room to boot room.

Looks like it has become a bit of an urban myth.

The tone has shifted, I think. There's far less rage in response to this loss than I'm used to on this board. Confusion about starting De Neve, sure. But mostly resignation and apathy. The way the club's decline has accelerated over the past 12 months is truly frightening - there's currently not a single thing I can say I'm proud of about supporting Rovers.

De Neve De Neve Oh with your eyes so black De Neve De Neve You'll get Ismael the sack De Neve De Neve You'll have us in league 2 oh oh

Gestede. Fuck off you useless cunt. Take the shadow man and the chicken nuggets with you as well.

It's beyond belief that DeNeve starts ahead of Pickering who has his limitations but can at least defend properly. The fact that he's been available all season but is continually ignored even as a substitute suggests there are some shenanigans in the background. DeNeve was utterly pants today and contributed absolutely nothing.
