Not sure if mentioned but this game is on YouTube now

Low bar

This window has been absolutely comedy, same with the summer window. The leaks of Rudy Gestede too. If you don't laugh you'll cry. 50% drop in price in a few seconds, I've not heard anything like it in my life.

Just caught a bit of Ismael's post match interview. He's confirmed that Alebiosu won't start against Watford. Unbelievable. More TGH as a "wingback" 😂

HOW IS HE NOT SACKED YET

De Neve couldn’t flourish at the Soccer Dome….

Waggott was shit. But Rudy and Pasha are much shitter. Surprised this still needs to be clarified tbh, but here we are.

I am not so sure, about your 2nd paragraph !

I don’t, he choose to come here and he’s sat there no body language just so uninspiring. He needs binning ASAP.

You would have thought we’d have a decent relationship with City given their location. I’m willing to bet they don’t really want their youngsters coming to take part in the Ewood circus though. They invest a lot of time in tracking their progress and have clearly got wind of what a mess we’re stuck in. Brighton seemingly happy to send players up though.

Sales look thin on the seating map

You would imagine they'd have to cater for all season ticket holders regardless of whether they attend, as the club have no way of knowing how many will turn up, they all might or none of them might. Assume any additional tickets sale drive the need for more staff or not. Good to see its a low expected turn out though.

I'm in 2 minds with the current situation. Either: Gestede, Pasha, Owen & Ismael are all so arrogant/confident/stupid that this situation will be turned around once some players get back, so they genuinely don't think we'll go down. or They just don't care and see relegation as another chance to reduce costs, clear the decks, flood the first team with academy players and essentially become a feeder club to the championship by flogging off our academy players once they've got enough first team experience. Whoever signed that off, needs sacking. Unless he was earning £100 at his previous club.

Be worth it for the entertainment value

Probably. Can you imagine him even taking a phone call from Rudy serious though?

I rate Powell. He's better than De Neve by a mile, he looks classy

For a Saturday 3pm, there’s usually 2/3k walk ons. Presumably then the projections for this weekend is that’s it’s going to be substantially lower than that? Ergo that text? ‘Tickets sales’ being the relevant bit, as yes, they’ve no idea on how many paid up ST Holders will actually be attending, though even without a boycott plenty haven’t been for a couple of months now. So put low match ticket sales , plus they’ll know the ‘real’ numbers of ST holders that haven’t been coming for a while, plus a boycott, plus Watford won’t be fetching many, and well, let’s see.

Anybody saying that is an idiot. It's one match being boycotted to make a point about where things are on their way to. It's not going to cost anyone their job. Also, nobody is obliged to give patronage to anywhere. You're not 'costing' anybody anything, as the money wasn't theirs in the first place, it was yours. (Not you specifically)

After last night's matches I'd much rather get on the train to Norwich if I were him.

Hickman did score two goals that day but he’d signed a few weeks earlier . He’d had 1 game as sub and then the game before the Plymouth game when he made his full debut against Bury away in a 2-1 win for Rovers. He scored his first goal in that game. I remember seeing Andy Burgin at Halifax before he signed for Rovers. He’d played against my second team , Rochdale, quite often and being a full back myself he always impressed me. The ‘Dale had a really good right winger at the time. When he felt like it he was devastating, but Andy always kept him relatively quiet. I knew we’d signed a good ‘un when he came to Rovers.

Get Roy Keane in. He'll get em going

To be fair, the Hull player should have been sent off too, for a) starting the incident by wrestling Osmajic to the ground, then getting right in his face (literally) when he challenged him. Ref got that only half right. Mind you, sometimes it is good to have something of a psycho on your team, as it gives off an air of unpredictability and an edge, in the way that none of our current squad do. I think Yuki says thank you every time he gets clobbered - Japanese manners and all that..(Samurai he isn't, as Samurai never wore contact lenses, as far as I know).

:-))

If Ismael leaves the club this season, it will most certainly be after the window shuts, and after the 3 home games, followed by at least a month of faffing around and interviewing candidates before settling on the cheapest possible chancer going. Realistically I don't think he'll leave because he'll manage to scrape a win in the Sheffield Wednesday replay, keeping himself comfy in the job till the end of the season.
