It's stating the bleedin' obvious but if you want to be self sufficient you have to speculate a bit on fees to accumulate. We don't seem willing to do the former therefore have no chance of achieving the latter.

Awful, awful, awful.. Talking about Senegal being a challenge.. FML, Andorra were a challenge.. Can't break teams down. Embarrassing!

massive concern for me is the fact we don`t even appear to be scouting lower league players at an age where they are going improve and we can sell them on,is`nt that the model we are supposed to be following???if it is`nt then we bloody well should be

With Mike Brearley at the other end.

The fact you're a Celtic fan has nothing to do with your feelings of course! I can't believe the amount of sympathy Ange got after scabbing possibly the worst game of football I've ever seen in my life. If it were a boxing match the referee would have stopped it on the basis neither party were making a fist of it. If they'd have lost that debacle, (which could easily have happened) no -one would have been lobbying for him to stay. They were diabolical in the League and Ange showed himself to be tactically inept and inflexible in his approach. I don't particularly like Spurs but from their point of view at least they didn't make the same mistake Man Ure did in keeping Ten Hag on and then having to sack him a couple of months later. And whist not great Ten Hag performed a lot better in the League than Ange.

We've had worse. Like bright pink ....

Aye Yuki and Ribero came out of nowhere and have done good but it's the Suhail and Rudy roadshow now so we'll have to see what transpires, if anything.

No debt on the club!?!? What do you think the £135millionish is shown in the football clubs accounts owed to VLL and the £15millionish bank overdraft!?!? Someone posted Middlesbrough will appoint a new manager before we sign a new player. I will go a step further and state they will appoint a new manager and sign at least 1 new player before we sign anyone. Many Rovers fans think the club is fecked and are sick to the back teeth of being fed, IMO, bullsh1t. As I've said before Chaddy, stop making excuses for the club and stop trying to defend the indefensible.

Dire stuff. Madueke the only one to come out of that half with any sort of respectability. Watched Spain v France the other night, fantastic game,the difference in quality is alarming between us and them

Rather that, than someone who is known, but is poor.

The first signing will come from left field anyway and be a name not even mentioned - or possibly heard of - highly likely to be from abroad.

stunningly poor

the FA and EFL will do nothing. As far as they are concerned Rovers are being run fine, selling players to meet the finances, no debt on the club, wages paid on times and all bills paid on time

and people used to complain about Southgate's team selection. Its a surprising team selection with Jones at right back, James at left back and Henderson as holding midfielder

Signings taking some time is perhaps forgivable, but to have not even agreed contracts with the players we retained (Batth, Weimann etc) is unacceptable. The club is just waiting for Eustace and Derby to offer them more so we don't have to pay them, and then the usual excuses will be trotted out. If we wanted to keep them we would have signed the deals, same goes for Trav/Tronstad/Brittain. Instead we are low-balling because Venky's can't/won't give us any money. Frankly, the FA should open an investigation into the mismanagement of the club and the inability of the owners to fund the team. If they were made the go through the buyer process they would fail, and therefore should not be permitted to continue owning the club.

If one of the promoted sides manages to pick up more points than Spurs next season they could well be in the bottom three.

And already we've been in "advanced talks" with a player who's looking likely to move to Sunderland for a fee we were never getting to, our Captain is being linked with a move to fucking Wrexham, Brittain has been "close" to signing a new deal which still hasnt happened, Batth and Weimann are considering moves to Derby and the consistent issue of money and the owners court case hampering the club has already raised it's head, again.

Me too, I loved this kit as a kid.

Two right backs on the bench, Curtis, aware you’re a centre mid, but, today you’re at right back, my son!

we are more like chris tavare😀

it don`t matter,we are playing a bunch of amateurs who would struggle against euxton villa,there should be pre qualifying for teams of this standard

It's a 4-2-3-1. But I find the inclusion of Jordan Henderson the most baffling aspect.

What formation are England playing today? - I’ve looked at the selection and can’t work it out (not that I’ve tried that hard 😁😁)

I’m really surprised we’ve never simplified the badge on an away kit other than going monochrome, it’s so easy to have the red rose by itself and look good like some third party sites did

At least Boycott kept the scoreboard ticking over.
