If the table doesn't lie, there aren't many better than Watford.

This place ‘gets it’. Big loook at what gets posted on the official social media feeds after another game without a win. ’sacked in the morning’’ ’Got to go after that’ ’taxi for Val’ The fanbase is largely still under the illusion that this club operates like the rest of professional football - I.e it’s about results and if you don’t get them you’re out.

Final ball or not, he gets us up the pitch and generally makes the other team restart from a defensive position and allows Rovers to reset. It will be important as the relegation battle plays out.

Absolutely, which is why my opinion is that to turn the tide of opinion you have to systematically pull apart and detail the ‘facts’ of finance, decision making. Humans believe what keeps them safe, happy and meets their world view. Unless you can provide undeniable evidence to change their mind. Whilst people are able to say ‘but Venky’s out in 20 million a season’ their minds won’t be changed. There needs to be an almost forensic breaking down of how they do or don’t find the club. Many match going fans aren’t plugged into sites like this and still get their info from the LET and official website. So to expect them to have a forensic understanding of the Agnews, Hunts, Pasha’s and Gestede’s of the world is misguided. Their eyes need to be opened and treated with respect not branded happy clappers and idiots.

Probably our next CEO doing his on the job training.

Not as much as TAA

We obviously have a bit of money to spend. £1,5m plus add-ons is a good offer for a mid-table League One player. Bristol City need a replacement for Mehmeti so can see them in the chase as well, as has been reported.

I would say that the truth about the ‘sniping’ is probably in the middle too By and large, it is a handful of accounts posting about “boycotters” or “happy clappers” all the time. It’s not a majority of people at all. I would wager it is around half a dozen either side - a very loud but very small minority who are just entrenched in their arguments Best to ignore them

As the dust settles on several weeks of 'soul searching' for many, I think its really important to point out that the boycott was a major success, you have to look beyond the thousands that didn't attend and understand the end game here. The fans frustration and plight of the club is once again being discussed across all the major news outlets in this country, that alone is a massive success, its advertising money just can't buy. Moving forward we need a concerted/consitent effort for more of the same, linking boycotts & "Not a penny more" to key events in the clubs recent history: “On this day on 1992, Blackburn rovers broke the British transfer feee xxxxxxxxxxxx Today Blackburn Rovers only have xxxxxx” Or something sililar, you get the picture. The fans in the background are doing a great job on the marketing and awareness side and a shout out to the fans who boycotted and attended yesterday, well done to you all, it’s a tough decision not to attend, whichever side you came done on. VENKYS OUT – NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

We are going to get punished so many times by better teams in the next few months.You can see it coming.

Watford had no problems playing us off the park for the first 20mins of the game. Excuse culture is rife through the club. They've already got them lined up for when we fall through the trapdoor into league one.

Why are we bothering with £1.5m bids if they want £5m? Another complete load of bollox by Nixon.

Given our current position, what the fuck could we even offer in 'add ons'? Especially to bridge a 3.5m difference in valuation 🤣 I mean a team up the top end of the table can stick a promotion wedge in there but that's obviously not an option. He's not going to get an England call up. Probably leave appearances/goals and potentially a sell on clause if he's any good. Never happening.

Between last Friday and mid February, 11 players are due to become available - 4 yesterday. The youngsters have all given good accounts of themselves which means Ismael will have 28 genuine contenders for selection or thereabouts assuming the pitch/lurgy/injury/transfers don't reduce the fit squad Ismael will have a selection headache, formation choices and absolutely no excuse.

From a Rovers TV perspective, the ground was visibly emptier than at any other point this season and the Rovers TV commentators were talking about the boycott. There was a younger person sat next to Gestede in the Pasha row in the directors' row. Anyone know who it was?

Must be a slow news day for Nixon. Not a chance that is happening.

1. Who buys football clubs? Ask fans of Wrexham, Birmingham, Reading, Bolton, Wigan etc 2. You dont go into Admin because you breach FFP - you go into Admin when you stop funding it through choice or via the bank if you’ve mortgaged the club to the hilt 3. Venky’s sacked Allardyce because he wouldn’t kowtow to certain “advisors” 4. If Suhail carries on cutting costs, what we will have is the equivalent of “some chancer with 1% of Venky’s wealth who downsizes us to League One (or lower)

I agree although will also point out, its difficult to pick out the one forward in the box who is hiding between the defenders.

Falls right into Venkys hands doesn't it..divide and conquer.

I ended up going. I know many on here will call me names but I had to go for family reasons. Anyway here is the truth. It was noticeable before the game behind the BBE that there were many absentees. The BBE looked like it had gaps where previous games there werent. Riverside looked like there werent many boycotting. JW also looked less full. The fact that is because the ground looks empty at the best of times in modern times only those who go every game could tell there was a protest.

Said this many times and he's nowhere near a prem player. Very one dimensional BUT we've missed him because for all the wayward balls there's more useful ones than we've been putting in recent weeks....

Like everything in society it seems people have to pick polar opposites, or be categorised in such a manner. so now there seems to be a position where division is turning attention away from the owners (and representatives) and energies being focussed on falling out with each other.

Yep, but just for clarification... 1, Football results aren't the priority here. 2, Ismael is doing exactly what this regime wants of him.

Looks like those who boycotted are saying it was noticeable and a success, and those who didn't boycott are saying it was barely noticeable and looked like a normal crowd. Truth is it was probably somewhere in the middle, not a roaring success but not a total failure either. The constant sniping from both sets of fans on the divide though is becoming very tiring.
