90 minutes of misery.

Wolfsberg.

People with way too much influence and their own priorities.

An unused sub but they got the third place at least. Imagine he’s loved the experience but we’ve definitely missed him a lot for him to play in just one game.

It's going to be one spectacular own goal when our relegation is confirmed. Most fans called it from day 1 that selling our Championship experience and replacing them with dross from relegated second division Belgium clubs was always going to end in tears. The cherry on the cake when they shuffled Hyam out the back door in the last minute. That was confirmation for most that we'd be down at the bottom all season. Throw in a proven failure as a manager and the writing was on the wall. They've sleep walked straight into this with excuses after excuses, letting games pass by with all the talk about unavailable players, or how "the data shows" we're better than the results suggest. Dismissing the fans concerns and straight up insulting us by suggesting the squad is better now. They'll be many a Rovers fan saying "We told you so", when the curtain on our stay in the Championship is drawn to a close.

The post Christmas slump started early this year. Is that one win in eleven now? There is no built up points buffer to save us this year.

Many clubs have fallen by the wayside because their owners simply stop their financial obligations. Bolton. Wigan. Sheff Wed. Oldham. I'm sure there are other examples. If the Venky's left, I think the fan base would be united again, but it really depends on who the new owners are. If it happens, it happens, and we all go for the ride. But I would wager the next owners will have nowhere near the financial clout that the current owners have. 🤷‍♂️

another long away trip to a ground where we generally don`t get anything will it be another 90 minutes of misery or will val inspire his troops to triumph in wales

The thing is, the above is my opinion. I'm expecting a barrage of backlash, or some total nonsense from @RevidgeBlue that I'm not courteous. I don't get him at all. Or how he concludes that I'm happy. And it just reasserts my give-uppance that there are a number who turn a non-extreme view of the club, one way or the other, into something that it's not. And that's why it's pointless discussing it because my opinion ends up with some twisted reputation into something that it's not. Ah well. C'est la vie dans le internet!

Why do basically every other set of owners who take over teams plug the financial gaps that owning a football club in this country cause?

I turned it off at 2 nil. I never used to do that but it was all so fucking obvious, again. I keep going into games thinking it can't be as shit as last week, unfortunately it keeps on being as shit as last week. The boycott will certainly have gained traction today I would have thought. We aint got a cat in hells chance at Swansea on Tuesday either. It not just losing games that's making me mad, it's failing to do the fucking basics! Absolutely blows my mind how for the first goal there was no awareness from Cashin and presumably no shout from his keeper or team mates, or did he just ignore them? The second goal was horrific too, McLoughlin wasn't even watching the ball at all. No idea on the 3rd because as I say it went off at 2, I washed the cars instead, it was literally more enjoyable. The only potential solution to this mess (short term anyway) is to pot VI. He's clueless, the players appear to dislike him. Yes he has been dealt a shit hand but it's inexcusable the way we're playing. I hate to say it but this is Kean territory of shitness. Get him fucking gone.

I asked you to point out exactly what you believe I'm happy with. Where have I said I'm happy with what is going on? My stance is that the Venky's are dreadful operators, but they are plugging the financial gaps (of their own making), and you would be hard-pressed to find other owners who would do more, let alone the same. Just my opinion. And you get into a... what was the phrase... hissy fit? Calm yourself down. It's just opinions.

I also did this and im much happier for it

Deck chair arranger on the Titanic was a job for life

We started with 4-2-3-1.

Swansea beating Birmingham now too which moves them 7 points clear of us and takes another relegation 'candidate' out of the immediate equation.

Will Elliott Jackson and the LT have the balls to call for him to be sacked?

Both Warnock and Allardyce were excellent managers and were indeed head and shoulders above Rowett but Warnock is 77 and has retired twice, Allardyce hasn't had a job for 2 years and even though I'd be happy with either, Venkys/Gestede/Pasha absolutely would not employ either of them.

Who the FUCK forcing out managers on the verge of playoff places in favour of this shit?

People preferred to kid themselves they've finally spent the Hyam money and were just waiting for the right 'investment' to come available. Yeah well they're about to get another harsh reality check about how these lot operate, as if they didn't already really know.

Thanks Tom hope that's the end of these rediculous dreams.

What is VI’s actually preferred formation? I can’t remember, we went to three at the back because of Cantwell’s injury and our general injury issues? But now we’ve stuck rigidly to it ever since. I’m not saying our woeful results are purely a formation issue; I just don’t think he has a clear idea of how best to set the team up.

More spine in a jellyfish

They are also both past it and been to the well too many times now plus both would cost way more than these lot would ever pay.

Be brilliant wouldn't it.. That's probably exactly what they need!
