No chance will the Derby game be a bumper crowd aside from the thousands they bring to boost it. Live tv game ? Cat A due to expected away following = 12 k home fans with probably less actually inside the ground. It'll fall flat on it's face and the nation will laugh.

It was taken at half time.

He also spent a quarter of his career on loan, so presumably understands the process from the players point of view. I think if we had a good faith leadership team it'd feel more genuine. But we don't so it doesn't.

Come on the loan manager role must be relatively straight forwards for any experienced ex player. He's just out keeping tabs on our loans and touching base with their counterpart or head coach etc then calling other clubs seeing who might be available for future loan. Then he'll pass the info on. Piece of piss surely.

I know he's good at interceptions but I didn't think he was psychic

You're so negative ! Get behind the boys and show some optimism. Our Norwegian Midfielder is a time travelling psychic FFS. Fed up of these conspiracies. Rudy said it was family reasons, everyone wants to live in Derbyshire we can't compete with the peak district.

Usually I would say no, but at venkys rovers just when you think you have seen the worst, something surpasses it.

Just waiting for the Japanese one!

Can he honestly be worse than Gueye?

He's young, scoring at international level, just needs somewhere to bed in and shine

Forget the plastic bird, peeling paint/plastic etc you rightly point out. I can't stop looking at the faces in that snap. Heads in hands, arms folded, glum, misery, despair. Some on phones cos they can't be arsed watching what's in front of them anymore. Despite paying for the privilege. And all across the ages, from young kids up in the posh seats to a wide range of adults. I can't spot a single 'content' or happy face. Remember when football used to be fun. Suppose it's not groundbreaking to find a picture of unhappy football supporters. But I assume that was taken soon after the penalty and sending off?

No it isn't. 24th June 2025. It's a shade over 2 months old, hence him speaking about Eustace's departure.

Charlie Adam was loans manager at Burnley for a good while. I'd be very surprised if Rhodes hasn't done several badges already, the PFA offer fully funded B license courses to all senior players, most are able to undertake the practicals, etc at their own clubs. All scholars complete C license as part of their EFL/PL education package.

Absolutely…death of a thousand cuts, boiling frog…incremental decline.

Commercially sensitive 😉

When I read this post, I had a closer look at the steelwork. The paint is peeling so badly that I don't think it can be painted. I think this was brought up at a Fans Forum meeting years ago but Waggott gave a made up quote and did nothing about it. From my experience, I think all the paint will have to be blasted off down to the steel and repainted. I doubt that there is enough time in the close season to put up scaffolding to do it so a very big cherry picker will be needed. Alternatively the stands will need to be closed one by one whilst the work is done. To do this on all the stands is a huge job. When Oyston was ousted at Blackpool, one of the first jobs the new regime did was to get all the steelwork painted. They have the added problem of corrosive salty sea air. Wainwright Bridge is painted every 10 years. Rovers stands haven't been painted for more than 30 years. The time for basic maintenance has long since passed.

How many did just out of curiosity.

I like Ohashi and he's done ok, nothing amazing I wouldn't say. I think he struggles to lead the line in general and our attack is quite poor overall. No reason not to try something different.

Completely different world over there. In their eyes we're the serfs that threw a snow ball at them.

Would be an incredible bit of business if we managed to get someone even worse than Gueye.

Yep, that RoversXtra account picked it up within a couple of hours of it being posted on here

So what we've ascertained from these court proceedings over the... fuck me, years... is that the way the Venkys run our team isn't a 'them' problem. It's a cultural Indian problem.

He won't. As a rule we don't sign better players than what we already have, so I expect an output that is less than Ohashi and Gueye.

I hope so too, but looking at his results there’s nothing to base this hope on
