  1. Past hour
  2. No way this game finishes, weather almost mirrors 2 weeks ago along with stronger winds. Stay home enjoy your Saturday in the warmth.
  3. He repeatedly showed at Spurs that he doesnt have a plan B. Changing your formation doesnt mean its a plan B. To replace Nuno with Ange was a ridiculous move. I would never have appointed him. But I do find it interesting how 6 games is "FFS have time and patience" territory (why would I need patience judging the Forest manager) but 7 games for Ismael is enough to judge?
  4. I find it really difficult to track the acceptable period of time that can pass before it's permissable to criticise a manager.
  5. On what planet is a friendly v Wales necessary next week? That squad is a farce.
  6. Don McLean - Superman’s Ghost
  7. plenty of head coaches have had only Plan A and when it doesn't work then don't have B. Someone like Sven Goran Eriksson or Roy Hodgson. Ange has been there for 6 games FFS, Allow some time and patience when some on here don't have. Did Forest play 3 at the back yesterday? so isn't a plan B @roversfan99 did you ever allow new head coach time to bring in his ideas and methods over and given that Ange probably didn't have much time on the training ground to implement his own ways yet?
  8. Sunshine and rain forecast for before and during the game Blackburn (Blackburn with Darwen) weather - Met Office fully expect the game to go ahead and finish
  9. I was told that was Waggott, well before the end of Tomasson's first season. Of course he could have been following orders. It's still happening so it would appear so. I hear an ex manager is keen to take another of our homegrown players and it's likely to happen.
  10. They might have to open the club shop on Mondays to cope with the demand for the flex tickets ?
  11. If it’s so hard to run a ‘medium sized Championship side with 15,000 average gates’ maybe they shouldn’t have fucked up the Premier League side with mid 20,000 gates they bought.
  12. John Pickering was manager, Iley had been sacked by then I believe.
  13. pre Uncle Jack era, the 4 should be Ronnie Clayton, Bryan Douglas, Simon Garner and Bob Compton Since Uncle Jack takeover, Jack Walker, Sir Kenny, Alan Shearer and Tony Parkes
  14. I know how you felt with how the whole transfer was handled Tony and fully agree. It is about as shocking as it gets, how we threw this away and how we treated not only a superb talent, but a Rovers fan and from a Rovers supporting family. One other huge thing to say, not the slightest sign of him refusing to sign a contract, like many before him. That ensured Rovers at least got something for him, despite it being the steal of the century for Palace. The fans and the Wharton family did not deserve to be let down like this and Pasha should have been immediately handed his notice, with the comments he made in the fans forum. No wonder he wanted the real version of the minutes hidden.
  15. On the face of it I don't think this is the worst idea they have come up with. However the timing is ridiculously naive and has panic written all over it. The big question from me is why this wasn't available during the summer. With four losses at home so far it's going to be another embarrassment for our club when the take up is negligible.
  16. When you're playing Football Manager you can download tactics to plug and play - sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. It's more rewarding to develop your own tactic and style, but if you're struggling then downloaded tactics can at least give you some idea of how the game engine works. Managers like Ange and Amorim are essentially the real-life equivalent of an FM player who downloaded a tactic, it worked once and so they use it all of the time, unable to change it even if it doesn't work because they don't really understand the game itself particularly well. No modern manager should have one style & shape that they are anchored to come hell or high water. It should be an instant red flag to any managerial recruitment team.
  17. Today
  18. I thought ‘changing habits and schedules of modern fans’ was a nice touch.
  19. Howard Kendal, Gordon Lee
  20. Tuchel need to pick Wharton in the squad
  21. ‘The flexi season ticket allows full flexibility - supporters can attend one home match or all 17’ That would be one very expensive way to attend only 1 game (or 2 or 3 or 4…) People will need to know they can/want to attend a fair proportion of the matches for them to even consider this to be good value for money.
  22. Flexi tickets are a good idea in principle, this isnt thought through. Why not just £150 (anniversary) pick any 9 games ? Works out same as a full season ticket per game at the £16.50 they touted. At this rate 9 games would be £26 and this gets more expensive the less you can make, which kind of undermines the flexibility aspect, doesn't seem great value for the upfront investment.
  23. The truth is they've all been poor managers and it's hard to say which has been worst, though Ismael could yet prove us wrong. Watched Rovers get tonked 4-0 at West Ham under Iley and we were awful, one of the worst performances I've seen from a Rovers team. He also gets my vote
  24. He was bad, believe me. A disaster from day one. He got my vote without me having to think about it. Replacing Dave Wagstaffe with an over the hill John Aston - unbelievable!
  25. I can’t imagine how bad Iley must have been to take a vote ahead of Ince.
