"Who would want to buy a football club that loses tens of millions a year?" Turns out people are queuing up to do it. That's not what we're usually told. Same as with Coventry and Derby in the last few years. They got new owners and didn't end up with Bury in NW Counties equivalent. Crowds way up at both clubs and both above us in the table. Oh well

Swansea are in free-fall, would be a nice team to drop as it's miles from anywhere. If we can trade Norwich / Pompey / Swansea for a Stockport / Bolton / Huddersfield / Bradford I'd be delighted!

Yeah that Ipswich match has fucked us in so many ways, really is an unwanted addition to an already clustered period. We want to be as fit as possible for Wednesday (H), Oxford (H), Pompey (A), Millwall (H) over a 2 week period in December - 4 games we'll probably be favourites in all 4!

We seem to have a good team spirit at the moment, that can take you a long way in this league, but we are getting desperate for some players to recover from injury. We’re losing at least one first team regular with every game at the moment. it’s not just the starting eleven that is being weakened. Players that could come on off the bench and do a job are having to start leaving the bench weakened as well.

No pun intended

Considering he was supposed to be Travis replacement it was a monumental balls up. I'd wager my last quid whoever was responsible for bringing him in wasn't the same person who identified some of the other rather more suitable ones.

Pretty much down to bare bones, just in time for the busiest part of the season

Is Tavares injured or has he been deemed crap by the regime? Totally disappeared, unsurprisingly having seen him play in the first couple of games. Shocking signing.

yes. had surgery on an ankle injury in October - apparently been playing with injury since early 2025 https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/25580233.ipswich-town-sam-szmodics-undergoes-surgery-injury/

Cantwell currently on 44 league appearances for Rovers, with 9 league games to play before the January window opens. My guess is that he will feature in 5 of those 9 games, so that any potential wage rise/fee to Rangers is not triggered, and he will then be sold in early January. If this is the case, it will be interesting to see if they cherry pick certain games where they think he can make the difference, citing they are "managing his fitness" as reasons for sporadic absences, or if they just say he isn't fit yet for a couple more weeks and bring him back for the last 5 games in that 9 game run starting with Oxford on Dec 9th Before someone brings this up, I will note that it is also possible that I am entirely wide of the mark and he returns at the weekend and plays regularly until January (or even the end of the season), I suppose we shall see

By the same token, there's a chance we'll have to rush him back a bit earlier than we'd ideally like. There's no good time for an injury crisis, but it coming now is especially annoying. All things being equal you'd look at our games almost until Christmas as a real opportunity to put some distance between us and the bottom three, maybe even get towards the play offs for a spell.

Agree above especially about the row z stuff, injury free etc just read his interview on LT and I hadn’t realised he was out for almost 18months with injuries poor lad hopefully that’s all behind him now but I wonder if our medical staff need reviewing (especially considering trons clearly played with an injury and now he’s out for a while)

What's happened to Szmodics at Ipswich? Is he injured? When he plays he doesn't seem to score many.

Under normal circumstances I’m sure Tronstad would have come off as soon as he was injured last Friday. As it was he had to stay on.

I'd be saying the same for the next two after tonight as well. It's only a borderline excuse for Sheff Weds given what they have going on, and with any luck we might be getting Tronstad back for Oxford and Portsmouth.

---------------Pears -----Miller--McLoughlin--Pratt Alebiosu--TGH--Montgomery--Hedges -------------Morishita --------Ohasi--------Gudjohnsen Can't see how it's anything else.

Dobie Grey - Out On The Floor

Given the team we’ll have to put out tonight any sort of a positive result will be good.

Start consistently winning Val...the fans will then come.Same at most Clubs our size. Will it be one step forward,two steps back tonight?

Paul Simon - One Man’s Ceiling Is Another Man’s Floor

31 years to the day. 26/11/94 The camera angle for Shearer's hat-trick and Rovers' 4th just doesnt do it justice, for those who were there you'll remember the real time speed of the 'rocket of a right foot shot.'

No surprise to most that since Rovers have found a bit of form in the past month, the one game that we didn't win was the one where Tronstad was suspended

Things could go pear shaped tonight, no Tronstadt out injured. I've seen us lose a few at Ewood, without Tronstadt. Let's hope not, give it the same effort we showed against Preston.

& me on video for another QPR site…👀

Read that already! Excellent.
