So the buck for defeats no longer stops with the manager, but with individual coaches. That’s a new one.

Really? We have no points. We are easy to beat. We have lost the majority of our experienced players. We have no funds to replace them. That's the actual reality. Your interpretation of the facts as 'Looking like a... league finish in mid table' and 'if things click quickly' and 'a couple of quality (of) signings' ?? That, fella, is the epitome of 'rovers coloured spectacles' (pardon the pun). Somewhat over optimistic, if you ask me (which I know you aren't). I suppose you could argue that at least we are having our traditional poor run of results early this season, in August instead of December / January. No likey likey. VENKYS OUT!

Nope. The RAO family and their pernicious and calculated campaign to kill our club through systematic withdrawal of financial support are 100% to blame. Everything else is a side-show to make us think we still have a chance. We don't ! Not under this lot. VENKYS OUT!

I'm beginning to get it now. The Raos think that they can save face by running the club down to a point where from a business point of view they can say it is no longer a going concern. Therefore it can be shut down as such, without it troubling their tiny conscience. The alternative, to sell the club to someone interested in making it work, would involve too much scrutiny of the wrong-doing, the ineptitude, the facts and (crucially) the figures, potentially bringing issues to light in public that they would rather not be faced up with. So, what we are seeing is the further deliberate undermining of the football club, to salve the pathetic egos of people who long ago realised that they were in over their heads, had been duped and shown to be commercially incompetent, and who now (for a long time indeed) want nothing more than the embarrassment to go away. Fuck the consequences for the true 'owners' and 'stakeholders' of the club (i.e. US the supporters). Tell you what - the FA should introduce annual 'fit and proper' tests for owners, that actually require realistic and real benchmarks to be surpassed, and commitments to be made and honoured by those claiming to own the 'business assets'. Wankers. The lot of them. VENKYS OUT!

It said that on Rovers TV

Think you have to question why Birmingham get both their goals from experienced wide men running at defenders and either getting into the penalty area and causing panic - one wins a pen and one slides a cross across for a tap in winner. Our wide men - de neve, kargbo look nothing like causing such opportunities and chances. It’s simply lack of talent and experience in recruitment and it’s going to bite us in the ass like so many predicted. So toothless in attack , I really don’t see what our game plan is going to be. Try and nick a goal from 0. Something xg and then hold on for 30+ minutes. Always going to lose more than we win

Brutal We were much better 2nd half. We just aren’t going to score goals until we get a Right Winger and a striker.

I don’t mind the bloke, quite like him in interviews etc but seems a limited manager, more to the point it seems inevitable he’s just passing through and will be gone by November either way. Sadly I’m feeling it all just feels hopeless right now.

How can we be a point from the relegation zone when we have 0 points?

A season in transition and a finish in mid table. 15 years into the ownership. Project number……? Please. I don’t believe that is acceptable, especially with the money made in the last 2 years on incomings. It’s called managed decline, and exactly why JDT and Eustace left.

Hedges isn’t good enough at this level. I’m afraid Scotty is damaged goods, & we’ve lost other popular players due to injury, that simply weren’t the same afterwards (Dacky comes to mind). Miller, McLoughlin, Ribeiro, & Hyam aren’t a bad back line, but it appears Hyam is on his way out. Dittos in midfield with Tronnie & Travis. It’s a mess, guys. We’re 1 point from the relegation zone now… once we’re hit it, we’re not climbing out. how we go from 7th place, 2 points from playoffs to relegation, Rovers Admin & staff are to be blamed. Only Rovers appear able to get into such as mess as this, in so fast a time.

3:30am, woken up, still seething 😑

Well this is it. He's no highlight reelist but after much flak deserved 👏 for his efforts

Missing from the stats is Brum players falling over at the slightest touch. They were the same against Ipswich

There will be a defeat Parson because the club is set to fail, I think the owners are annoyed we did not go down last season . This year they will not fail . I maybe wrong but history tells me i won;t !

There is nothing open and honest about the whole club, be it the manager or anyone else. They spout any old shit and hope some fall for it, which they still do, but in dwindling numbers.

There’s glass half full and then there’s completely clueless. You’re falling into the second with some of your comments recently.

That's offensive to all plants, especially succulents.

Well, I watched the West Brom game, the Bradford game and today's shit show. I also watched brums first game v Ipswich. Absolutely nothing to look forward to imho and those that think Birmingham are the team of the moment must be watching a different game. All 3 games were lacking quality. Poor fare and brum won't get a play off spot playing like they did today. As for Rovers. It's a gift that keeps on giving. Totally predictable and fecking boring to boot. Im lost for words. Just nothing positive comes out of our club ever. It's depressing witnessing what's going on it really is. Rant over.

Starting to think you’re a plant now Chaddy.

The biggest protest we've had is the 12,000+ that have voted with their feet and stopped going. All's that's left now are the absolute hardcore (even some of them are starting to reach the point of knocking it on the head) and the drongo suuuuper fanz. The brain dead happy clappers are as much to blame for the situation as venkys and their cohorts IMO.

You could see a tactical plan today and it worked until the penalty incident. We should be taking a 1 nil win had we defending properly. Frustrating it was leaving Ewood Park knowing we should have won that game. And I say my support for this great club will never waiver and I won't walk away for supporting my club. I always been a glass half full pint of person I hope we can beat Hull and bring home those 3 points. Safe journey to Hull and Back

Is that the best you got RF99. Going on and on is what is unnecessary but you keep going on and on like a broken record day after day.. Desperation is all from you. I gave you my opinion but then you come out with this same old bollocks and cliques all the time. So why do I seriously bothered. It's pointless

But we didn't win chaddy. We lost - three in a row now. I love your optimism and wholehearted support for the club through thick and thin - that's how it should be. But sometimes, a touch of realism is needed. What I saw today was, in my opinion, a dour affair with little free flowing attractive football to admire. Birmingham weren't much better, although when the chance came to put us to the sword they did so. We simply didn't create enough chances and when we do create the odd chance we don't take it. The three games I've seen this week have done little to alter my opinion that this is going to be a difficult season. There simply aren't enough goals in this team and defensively we are always likely to concede. We have lost a lot of Championship experience over the summer and, in my view, haven't replaced it. Ismael talked about game management and that's something that experienced players are able give you. Today we were totally naive at the end and it cost us a point. A 1-1 draw is no disgrace - the old adage - "if you can't win a game, don't lose it" still stands. In my opinion, we need a couple of old heads, who know what the game is about at this level, before the window closes. At the moment our squad is wafer thin and injuries and suspensions could see us in real trouble. Despite my reservations I have my ticket for Hull next week, but defeat there and the alarm bells will be ringing.
