I don't think we had one for Qatar SC either. Obviously someone had scrambled to dust one off from storage for Elche.

This Is true but the problem would be the replacement. Safer to go on with someone we know and pray.

That's a great summary 😂. He's a character. I think he is definitely a useful player to have around. If selling him meant getting that striker playing in the Polish league, then no qualms. It won't though and we are already light up top. Keep hold.

I find it extremely hard to believe there's anything in that Gueye story, I doubt clubs over there even know he exists! He's frustrating sometimes, to the extent you'd think he's won a raffle prize to play, then he can do something 5 minutes later and you think actually he looks OK. He's a useful squad player and would be a huge shame IMO if he left, not just because of his footballing ability but it's impossible to not like someone so smiley and quite frankly off their tits. Probably helps He's paid handsomely like. You'd imagine he can get slightly better/more consistent this season too.

Seems they are expecting a good sized crowd. https://www.nec-nijmegen.nl/n.e.c.-tv.htm - no details yet. The NEC website underlines HOW UTTERLY PATHETIC THE ROVERS WEBSITE IS.

No game tomorrow, Derby have identified the opportunity to play and stepped in to take Nijmegen on in our place.

This has been tried before but shelved. From what I’ve heard though, he was very rattled at the prospect, so worth considering again, especially for a Sky game. Pasha masks at £1.50 per throw may unmask him once and for all, so if enough are up for it, let’s give it a go.

Certainly Iommi will be. Possibly even more so however not by as many people.

Its obviously not cut and dry and there are other factors but I dont think its coincidental that our results with Ohashi up top were far, far better than with Gueye. He was unplayable against West Brom which is the game people often refer back to but most of his performances ranged from ineffective to liability. Also, he scored only 6 goals hence why people always say "goal contributions." They dont use that term when an out and out striker has a reasonable goal tally, they might for a winger or an attacking midfielder but Gueye doesnt score very often so they pad it out with his assists which include miss kicks in front of an open net and a header leading to a 30 yard goal of the season. He has useful attributes notably heading but IMO he is not up to the standard we need. But as importantly if not moreso, he requires a total tactical change if he starts, he doesnt suit the rest of the team. If Ohashi isnt playing, we should have someone who is competing who isnt totally different.

It's absolutely inexcusable to not renew these contracts earlier.

If it's a statement that's come from the club then it should automatically be treated as lies.

This doesn't need to be framed as a question.

I don't see why kits need to be changed every year. They never used to be. Anything to keep the sham going I suppose, regardless of the toxic holocaust it reaps upon the earth.

I think Jackson's demeanour changed when the LT let him go to Spain to cover the two friendlies - think you are spot on, Rovers lured him in and played / play him like a fiddle.

All you can do is troll, troll and further troll. Your personal vendetta against me is plain for all to see. It's pathetic. For fecks sake try and be constructive or bore off.

According to Jackson at the Lancashire Venkygraph Rovers have been 'backed into a corner' on the Brittain situation and therefore need to sell him. Maybe he needs reminding of the Venkygraph's own quotes in an article penned by him on 19th April 2025: "I think there are other people that need to have the conversation before me," he laughed when faced with the obvious question. "I'm really enjoying my time here. I've loved every minute. The people around the place are amazing. I love my teammates. Like you said, I've worked with the manager before, so I'm happy. "This manager knows that I've got a lot of energy and up and down and knows that I can cross the ball. So, as long as we're getting in the right areas and I can try and keep my confidence up, then yes, I'm happy. "There have been no talks yet. That's all I can really say about it at the moment. I'm happy here." That's a strange way of a club being backed into a corner. Rather it reads to me as though the player has been backed into a corner by the club, and forced to seek a deal elsewhere after radio silence from Rovers. Surely not? Oh actually yes, we've had the exact same with multiple other important players. Jackson seems to have been played like a fiddle by the Rovers Regime, doing their dirty work espousing a narrative that simply isn't true. He probably doesn't know that he's been played, a bit like Nixon probably doesn't care as long as it continues to get clicks and pays the bills. They're being used by the corrupt atrocious regime that controls BRFC. I pity anyone who believes it.

Mate, you yourself say that points won with a particular player in the team is bollocks. And you know it is. So this is null and void

I‘m not confident in Rovers ability to get a better striker, but if a club can offer us a fee, that’s more than Gueye’s value, we should take it. He definitely offers something different compared to other attackers that we have, but I wouldn’t be gutted if we sold him for a decent fee.

Call chaddy out on everything he says call rovers99 out on most things and today said he was erroneous and it was a figment of his imagination - wrong and you were proven wrong it’s all there black and white just boils down to the fact you don’t like being wrong - unfortunately for you it seems that occurs often enough enjoy the message board we will look forward to your next prediction and then excuse

One word - bullsh1t. You simply aren't worth debating with.

Gueye isn’t for everyone I def think he’s worth another go second season. Now used to the game the environment he’s likely a lot more settled. He doesn’t come across to be a player that’s going to get 15-20goals but if his goal attributions hit around that with assists included he’s certainly a plan b option. He’s obviously not in the mould of a szmodics or an Armstrong or even a Diaz but their first seasons goal wise were poor for us and just improved. Doesn’t mean gueyes will but there’s hope/history of it

That was poor poor stuff from Duckett. What an idiot.

I wouldn't complain if he took us up but I'm not expecting it! What's the chances of us getting a better striker do you think? Best hope would be another loan.

Would be a disaster to sell Gueye now and be chasing around trying to find a striker this late in the window. Gueye is no worldbeater but to leave us with Leonard ( who is not going to score many or make any other worthwhile contribution) and Ohashi would be suicide. We struggle to score enough goals anyway. Have we actually got anyone who isn't for sale?

West Brom was very much the exception.
