Why does anybody have to get angry? I'm certainly not. The defeats hurt, but I can accept that the club is in a transitional state. It certainly sounds like the Travis situation was dropped on us very quickly, and these players will need time to gel. Surely that's not an unreasonable point of view.

I look on the bright side, it’s international week next week so they can’t ruin my weekend again for a while. It’s come to something when I look forward to us NOT playing !

You won’t get a ban for it, that’s silly. You’re more than welcome to your opinion as long as it falls within the site rules, which everyone (including me!) has to follow. I think Gueye has shown over the past year that he doesn’t have the intellect to play football at this level. Perhaps calling him “thick” was a bit too brash, more of a “say it in the pub to your mates, but not on Twitter” comment, but I stand by the sentiment. I can reel off four or five occasions where he’s done things which lead me to believe he’s isn’t clever enough to be a success at this level.

If your primary issue at the moment is supporter reactions to 4 losses in 5 than what is happening at the club then you arent directing your anger in the right place.

Went blues bar afterwards... Some woman went round every TV and turned off sky sports news to BBC1... When quizzed she said to take it up with the club because she'd been instructed to and worked for sedexo or something. Fucks all that about?

Gueye has gone worse. I honestly think VI might have told him to stop dicking about as much and he's subsequently suffered as a result as he appears to have dipped in confidence. He's never been amazing but at the minute looks a complete lost cause.

Maybe it's the service ohasi is receiving

What do you expect people to say after a performance like that? And, tbf, it's four defeats out of five this season, and an overall record of five wins three draws and nine defeats under Ismael. It's not just one bad game.

It's more likely that different people have different opinions. Considering we have lost 4 out of 5 and that 1 was against a depleted version of an already poor team, I find it hard to argue we're anything but a bottom tier squad. We have to pray that something clicks in the next 2 weeks otherwise we'll be adrift by Christmas.

On that note the idiot spouting racist abuse in upper jack walker. He was reported through the correct channels Absolute tosspot.

Exactly.

I hate saying it but the club is rotten to the core. The owners, through the “directors” to Gestede, not one of them should be here. In fact, neither should many of the players. The whole ship needs rebuilding.

They've signed players for L1. It's planning for the future.

Have we sold Pears or something?

That’s what separates the real players for the also rans. Decision making at speed under pressure. Getting it right. I can’t for the life of me understand why centre halves try to pull players back in and around the penalty area. Let the player go, loads of things can happen. The striker can shoot wide, hit the keeper, stumble over the ball etc etc. Pulling them back only ends one way. Even if your keeper saves the pen you’ve still got to play half the game a man down. Dumb footballers = Dumb football.

Ismael has confirmed that we wont be signing a keeper. All the usual crap about pathways. Its an absolutely ridiculous decision to stick with 1 senior keeper. Does any other team in the football league display such a negligent attitude towards having competent experienced back up? If Toth gets injured we really are fucked.

Chris Brown would be an improvement on Gueye.

So he just fancies crap then?

That tells me more about people than results. A quick look on the childish nature of social media and grown men throwing tantrums, supposedly mature administrators as guardians of this very site calling players thick, and all the other rubbish that emerges after a defeat, tells me there is no patience in football these days. I'm not as much done with the game as I am with certain so-called Rovers "supporters", and I have zero problems calling them out or copping a ban for it. It's pathetic, and the team and manager deserve some time.

Looking past the set 4 grammar…we’ve only signed 1 French lad and there wasn’t a single French player in our whole squad today, so leave that shit out of it.

Not exclusive to rovers fans but what a difference a result makes, last week was full of positives and signings were all looking great, this week we are relegation certs and signings are all write offs. I’m not having a go, I’m annoyed as everyone but think we maybe need to realise we are where we are, as likely to have a good game as a really poor one currently. We are definitely a middle to bottom squad

It really was a case of after the Lord Mayors Show today as I fully expected us to be doing the same things as we did so well at Hull namely intensity, aggression and a high press. In the first half we got none of these with Norwich being the dominant team as we put in our worst performance of the season in that period. The goal was no surprise but the way the penalty was conceded was awful. Just before that I was thinking I would have been delighted to go in level at half-time but that notion disappeared quickly and we were one down and had to play the second half with the men. Ironically we were better with ten men in the second half and started to do things that we should have done in the first 45 minutes. The two gilt edged chances we missed highlights to me were we really need to strengthen as I believe a natural goal scorer would have notched there. I think Ismael got it wrong today as for me he left Morishito on the bench for too long. We were crying out for some creativity and in my view he should have been on for the whole of the second half. Another but disappointment for me was the poor decision making by far too many players in the first half. Misplaced passes, poor choices of pass and so many with the wrong weight on them. We have a lot to do in the next couple of days in terms of bringing in the right quality of players and beyond that having them ready for Watford in a fortnight.

Yes they all have to work for the loons but JDT blew away that 'nobody would've done better' theory very quickly. Before he was shafted with the budget of course.

This reads like Chaddy's evil twin

I was sat with a group of Rovers junior players this afternoon and they were laughing at Kargbo and Gueye.
