Try Solomon Burke.

🙄 Oh dear.

He made the least mistakes so I’ll go along with that.

And, especially in the late 80s, a better quality league.

I mean, at least you are considering that it might be financially restricted rather than just a case of exactly what Ismael wants. But you have just summed up that you just copy off what Ismael says/what happens. What we NEED and what we will GET are 2 different things. I am focusing on the former, you just willingly accept the latter. I said it probably was a penalty, why I would spend so much of my time following Rovers if I was anti Rovers and actively wanted penalties not to be given for us? I would accept any decisions going our way, but I am more concerned about our performance rather than pinning it all on the referee.

Can you please point out where I said that I dont rate him? You are literally making things up now. Our dallying makes it much more difficult to sign him. At a push, we could pay off Mafoumbi, a further delay, and then bring him in and use a last ESC slot totally unecessarily. You are at a peak of parroting everything the club does. For one, we dont know how much Ismael rates Baradji. But yes, he did have a medical here, which he failed! So just to clarify, you would be happy to replace Travis with Baradji even if he was out for months due to surgery, simply because Ismael must rate him? No concerns? And no concerns as to the quantity of proven players we are replacing with players playing in (and often relegated from) inferior foreign leagues? Do you still think we will be top half/top 6?

Eustace was the perfect bloke for what we needed. A safe pair of hands, instilled a brilliant team spirit, could organise a side and make it hard to break down, didn't give many sloppy goals away, did the simple things right. Don't try to be clever or reinvent the wheel in this league especially when you've had a high turnover in personnel on and off the pitch and no money. Just get on with it and make the most of what you've got. Bring in experience to steady the ship. Rely on the experienced senior players already at the club and get them buying into it. It worked incredibly well, unbelievably well, to go from almost self-inflicted relegation at Leicester to the top 6 in January spending next to nothing and selling Szmodics. Fantastic. Any remotely sensible club would have been giving Eustace a massive pat on the back, well done John, contract improvement time, brilliant job so far, how can we help you and make sure we keep you happy? Of course the scum that own and run this club had to dismantle that and quickly, forcing Eustace out to Derby F'ing County and ever since have been busy breaking up the squad he left behind in the top 6. With 3 weeks to go until the window closes time yet for a few more swings of the wrecking ball. Because we've got the Venky stooge and his henchman Gestede doing god only knows what at the club, instead they can gamble our league status and future on a 'project' and a head coach with a dubious and very much short term record (average tenure 20 odd games at 8 clubs). There's little reason at this early stage to have much faith in Ismael. What happened at half time against Sheffield Wed and for the 4-5 games after that meaningless now. He's got a very hard job on his hands but he signed up for this and seems content to play the game with Gestede and Pasha. All so unnecessary and it seems to me all because of behind the scenes politics and personal agendas.

No surprise at the dot joining going on here as that agency and co were so heavily involved here right from the start they were never going away. The connections to India make it so so obvious i mean i think even Coyle ended up over there, i wonder how ! No surprise either that the same old lot pop up just as there are players being offloaded and recruited left right and centre and now Suhail and Gestede who came from nowhere seem to have more power than anyone since Kean and Anderson. The heart of this club truly stinks rotten again.

The first BRFCS POTM this season is Sean McLoughlin for yesterday’s game against WBA. Congratulations Sean…👏👏👏⚪️🔵 MOTM template.mp4

Someone who is massively invested in the club, with no interest to read them? Someone who is massively interested in transfers, not interested in the board and fans discussing budgets etc. Someone who is more interested than anyone in staff movements and even once demanded successfully that Waggott chased up putting staff profiles on the website. Not interested in staff changes being discussed. And other things. No thank you.

I think he will. Rovers have offered him a new improved Contract So even if you scouted him, Ismael wants him, he had a medical here, does not count for owt? I don't agree, We can still bring him in, but you didn't rate him anyway so it doesn't matter that we might miss out on quality signing

FFS, back to this crap again. Ismael told you straight yesterday he wants one more signing and anyone who leave can be replace. Sound like we hit our limit on wage budget and after we sign the Right winger we hit our limit. Maybe actually look at what has been said by Ismael, instead of going on your little soap box again about I want x and y and Z. We can't just keep adding players to our squad without getting rid of players we don't want The only person who doesn't think it was Penalty is you and you finding excuse after excuse not to agree with everyone who said it was a penalty. Moore got one yesterday for less contact Ohashi got. It was penalty all day long so I suggest you take those anti tinted Rovers glasses off good for you, if we have got that penalty and scored it, it probably be a very different game after it.

Here you go Chaddy If the club are refusing to publish these as an honest representation of the meeting, who do you think is lying - The club? Or every fans forum attendee who agreed that these minutes are accurate?

Im not judging it based solely on one game, Im basing it on his 13 games since he's been here. I saw yesterday as a continuation of what happened last season. I might be proved completely wrong. Who knows. Let's hope so. The Forum would be a boring place if you didn't or couldn't pass an opinion until after something had actually happened.

Version 2 do, but version 1 doesn’t. Is he not curious enough to read them and find out what is going on at the club he loves? He hasn’t read either yet, but can still pass judgment on those who have. Baffling.

And full backs who can double as centre halves.

I agree regarding getting bodies in the box. We wouldn’t have scored the sort of goal they scored after 20 minutes of the game because we wouldn’t have have had enough players in and around the ball for it to fall to one of our players. Hedges and DeNeve won’t be there. Neither will Travis or Tronstad.

A fan who does not read the minutes, yet is prepared to have a go at someone who has and is now wondering why the two versions differing so much, and now questioning the version that look suspicious.

Yeah, some judge on the squad on quality and not just bodies you can write down on a squad list. Lacking any quality out wide, still short of pace, short of craft/technical ability, short of someone to take set pieces, and crucially short of goals.

Squad overloaded with midfielders and bereft of attacking options both in terms of numbers and quality.

Because they unequivocally paint the ‘club’ in a bad light and he doesn’t want to see it. That pesky Glen.

More or less sums up my views.

Not enough forwards (wide or central) of the required quality, who can be relied upon to say fit and provide goals and/or assists

Why?

But you just said you haven’t read the minutes. Please read both version 1 and then version 2 and answer honestly if you still can’t understand, why people are questioning him.
