it`s pretty clear val or the idiots in charge of the club want pickering gone😒 gueye can go for me,this season he`s looked unfit,overweight and disinterested.i just hope he can find someone who`ll take him incidentally,thats a shockingly poor bench we are fielding today

Very harsh on Harry but I don’t think anyone could argue that Hedges deserves his place at LWB, been really good this season. I imagine that he has gone for Pratt rather than Harry for the height. How long before we start seeing Joseph on the bench, probably would offer more than Gueye.

Do you accept the answers given?

We never build on anything. The success stories will be sold in the summer to keep the lights on again. Then it’s start from scratch again.

Should be playing Pickering today but if he's told not to what can he do.

You definitely did not suggest in the summer that your expectation was survival and build. And yes, I was against signing a player who wouldnt be fit enough to start for half a season. Doom and gloom comments? Yes, believe it or not, such a drastic drop in league position so soon does tend to do that. You try and consistently parrot what comes out of the club as if its all part of a good plan. Just a couple of poor signings, like Ferguson used to make.

Starts today for TBA On the bench Barrett - score/update Not involved in matchday squad O'Riordan - score/update - appears they cannot/will not select him now that the decision has been made to recall him Olson & O'Grady-Macken - score/update TBA - 3pm kick offs Edmondson - score/update Wood - score/update

I absolutely think he has cost us points vs having Toth in goal. The sudden change in goals conceded when Toth got injured tells the story. However, he has not really cost us any points vs a typical bog standard Championship keeper and hasn't made many obvious mistakes. And that's good by his standards, and as you suggest, befitting of a second choice keeper.

Henriksson in strike. Pickering dropped straight away. Find that a bit strange, thought he played well against Millwall. No Gueye in the squad again, speaks for itself.

And will everyone be welcome there? Which Saudi Arabia and Qatar fail and the USA also fails.

what were people expectations? I was talking to 3 follow Rovers supporting friends who were all saying that given the squad overhaul and everything, staying up was their objective and build on that for next summer. What the point comparing everything to previous seasons when so much has changed not just at Rovers but within the league like the teams involved, transfers, different head coaches, etc. its a couple of players. the squad need re-adjust now cos of the change of formations but nowhere near your doom gloom comments. I remember people praising Birmingham for spending £8m on Kyogo Furuhashi, he has yet to score in the championship and he has struggled in this league. He was their big summer signing and spent over half their transfer spent on him. Some signings work out and some don't. That's is football, you could go through each club transfers and you would be similar were some have work, some ok and some that haven't. You were against him coming here from the start cos of the injury. Since playing, you can see why Ismael wanted him and what was around that. If he carry on and keep getting fitter then I think he will turn out like one.

Devil's advocate mode: If we have a terrible January window, is it not too late to do it after that?

I only mentioned the 2023 thread not as a protest against e ticketing but mainly to demonstrate that the Club's disdain for the fans remains absolutely unchanged since 2023. There's been no improvement whatsoever in that respect. Chaddy has however successfully managed to divert the thread away from the general attitude of the Club and the main issue of whether fans will or will not be boycotting by getting us bogged down in an ultimately pointless debate about cash v cashless ticketing............... I apologise for my part in it.

Bravo. Post of the year 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

No country has a worse human rights record in modern history than the US. It can't be a general moral test, because we would fail. In which case, probably, the key factors should be: will fans and participants be safe, are workers safe (or will there be meaningful and long-term progress towards their safety) and will it work as an event? That's leaving aside the commercial side, which, in the end, will trump everything.

50% have boycotted already over the past 15 years... about time we made it official. Timing is shocking, going into a transfer window, but coming from team "Express Yourself" it doesn't surprise me.

Plus Forshaw who predictably is rarely available due to injury.

Can’t ‘nip to the website and buy them for Sheff Wed’ though ay…

This thread is literally a thread where Chaddy defends the undefendable. De Neve terrible Tavares even worse Miller is meh (when comparing to Batth and Hyam) McLaughlin same again (when comparing to Batth and Hyam) TGH shit compared to what we had before Henrikson - think he has something but not seen it yet.

Does it matter? How many grounds in the top 2 divisions are over 70% empty?

You keep saying that all teams have poor signings. The only way that would be a valid counter argument is if I said that I expect all of our signings to work out. I obviously dont. What the success or failure comes down to is how many signings are good, how many are poor, how good and poor they are, how well the squad is balanced, and how the team does compared to previous seasons and expectations. We have numerous signings who arent just poor, they are terrible. One in Alebiosu has been an excellent signing. Another in Gudjohnsen has been very good. 3 others have been ok, one hasnt started a game yet and one or two others are a bit below par. The squads massively imbalanced and we are is it 13 places lower in the table. You are making out like every team has an equal amount of successes and failures and its just one of those things. Thats not a case of shrugging and going, well even Ferguson and Mourinho didnt get it right all of the time. Its obviously not comparable to that. And on Baradji. This isnt me having it in for him. He has shown promise in a couple of cameos. But how you can possibly even suggest that hes towards the successful end is ridiculous when he literally hasnt started a game yet.
