I keep my mum's photo in my phone wallet

Axel broken hand so not travelled. I had forgotten about him. Would be a bit off for Gudjonsson to star against France and go on the bench today. Andre up top and the Japanese lads on the flanks?

I fully expect the next set of accounts to show that the overall wages paid are inexplicably the same as the last god knows how many years, which would then point squarely in the direction of certain non playing members of staff

And that is exactly the situation we face.The interview tells all we need to know...individuals on Easy St,no pressure to achieve with no targets or expectations set from those in control of the Club.The good ship BRFC, with no Captain at the Helm, just bobbing along in the middle of nowhere. Its shyte.

Agreed. I can't help wondering if there is a deliberate functionality in the actual churn produced. Who gains etc?

Yeah, it might be handy if the flags were not blocked at the entrance...and I witnessed this happening to a supporter of many years with a completely non-abusive flag...

Also @chaddyrovers was there any point in the interviews whereby you felt that they were not telling the truth, spinning the situation or any points where you felt that further questions were required?

The new Franz Carr.

Honest questions..Do you think that the plan enacted by Suhail and Gestede will make Rovers a better team? What is your assessment of the risks entailed?

Your mum sounds very much like my mum. I miss her nearly everyday day. I have her bus pass where I can see it on the table next to my usual seat in our lounge. They were a great generation who went through a lot without feeling sorry for themselves. You were right not attempt any treatment. I found my mum in similar circumstances and I knew right away that she’d gone. My condolences to you and the rest of your family.

Well that's completely fucked it, thanks Mercer. Good to see Morishita getting a start today, in a grim transfer window he's pretty much the only potentially exciting addition for me. Yuki up top on his own not ideal but suppose we'll ease Gudjohnsen in. Hedges needs to replicate his previous goal and Carter needs to stay fit, not much to ask for. Going for 1-1.

So....20% to the selling club, 20% to the surgeon....60% to the agent?

Just a gut feeling Rovers pull off a surprise win today. Chucked a few quid at it at 23/10.

With the club openly touting Tronstad, if he doesn't go on January, he's going to be protecting himself for a new move in the summer, so however you look at it we're likely to not have Tronstad 100% anyway, desperate times.

Whilst what you say is true Toronto, If we ignore averages, our weekly wage bill for the 24/25 season was also stated above as being the 17th lowest out of the 24 in the division. and that was before Birmingham & Wrexham came up with much bigger wage bills than ourselves, meaning we are down to 19th out of 24, and Rovers then decided to cut our own wage bill on top of that. We are now comfortably in the lowest 5 wage payers in the league (at most). And possibly rank even lower depending upon how much we have cut the wage bill this season (and how much more our rivals are spending. Derby probably had a lower wage bill than us last season, probably not anymore based on their spending) Obviously Sheff Wed will have the lowest wage bill, as most of their players have now left. But our wage bill will now be comparable to Portsmouth, Oxford and Charlton. Even so Portsmouth are paying enough to take Chaplin on loan from Ipswich, Charlton are signing Kaminski, who wont come cheap, & Oxford are signing players who we were after)

Agree. The season will have been defined for us by the time Baradji plays. He can be a worldy from then on but it's not going to elevate us to the top end of the table. Might save us from relegation I guess but stable door and bolted horse springs to mind by then. Like every season we will be weighed down with injuries with the very few quality players we have underperforming due to lack of support in other positions. The clue for Gestede is in the name 'team', the odd bit of star quality will never compensate for a lack of investment in the other positions. Where's the Championship experience and tolerance to heavy waterlogged pitches in our 'team' I wonder.

A tronstad injury away from utter disaster

He might well be. The reality of it is, though, that we're left with Tron and Tavares who, so far, has been lightweight and has a mistake in him. Our backup is the Brum lad, Foreshaw and Kristi. I've not seen the former play and I'd like to see as little as possible of the latter two.

My dad had brain cancer. He lost his memories. He also had parkinsons which made his condition worse. Having a strong father who didn't know who anyone was, he hit me a couple of times in hospital when I tried to help him, I didn't blame him. Then as you say to lose him permanently is the hardest thing to deal with

I think so. I know we have a habit of coming up against then non contender teams but feel Serbia a bit above that bar

Outside of this window (which has been terrible), at a normal club, I could see some logic in the Baradji signing. There's a player who they all think is really good and available cheap and for cheap wages and someone who really wants come to England and play in thee Championship. OK he is injured for a couple of months but he and his club will let him come on loan and the wages are even lower so it's an 'extra' signing. Travis, in their thinking, is covered by Tavares and Baradji, if he comes good can replace Tronstad in January. In our situation it's a. bit crazy but I still hold out some hope that he might actually be a very good footballer at this level.

U18s are at home to Stoke at 11am this morning Sergeant starts, Eze on the bench, is Higgins injured? Not seen much of him at all this season (I seem to recall him playing once in pre season, but not at all since the season started) score/update

Play today at 3pm O'Riordan - score/update Olson - score/update O'Grady-Macken - score/update Barrett - score/update Edmondson - score/update Pratt - score/update Play 3:30am (UK time) Sunday morning Duru - score/update

Presumably any fine will be taken from assets held in security

Spanking Serbia 5-0 in Belgrade is a sit up and take notice result at any level.of game.
