Unbelievable.

And what a horrific piece of business letting Travis go as well.

The money wasted on Henriksson, TGH and Kargbo would probably have seen a decent contract provided to keep Travis.

But the whole operation now is get two or three in for one decent wage out.

Nobody was better at creating value than that regime.

Some of the signings for low money were astounding and Santa Cruz, Bentley and Samba must've yielded 45 million in sale money for about 5 million in outlay.

Christopher Samba - £400,000

Ryan Nelson - Free

Another case of the regime promising better days ahead at an undefined time that will probably never actually come or if it does it will be too late.

They are fantastic at promising things will be better down the line, just don't expect too much right now. 

He knows he isn't getting sacked, he knows results are absolutely irrelevant here, and they're going to throw away our Championship status for good, and expect people to just shut up, hand over their money and accept it.

Nothing new here. 

Jam tomorrow as always

Well, Valerian.

You said you'd do better when injuries came back.

Still not better that was absolutely terrible.

Watford worst team I've seen.

At any other club he'd be gone tonight. In fact he'd have been gone weeks ago, but he's going to still be here for the Sheffield Wednesday game and scrape a 1-0 win, followed by another dismal run to the end of the season.

[JHRover]

Local media going with the 'decent point' approach.

No wonder we are going down if that sort of attitude runs through the place.

Another two points gone in a game there for the taking, desperately low on quality and chances, still only two home wins and will soon be February, now 1 win in 14 and some have the audacity to be satisfied with a draw at home. God help us.

1 win in 14

...and the beat goes on.

Radio Lancashire, Kevin Gallacher and the  phone caller who could pass for a club plant all very pleased with one point against a middling Watford side, taking it to one win in 14 competitive matches.

I said this the other week, I really hate Gallagher as a pundit. Chalk and cheese with Paul Gallagher who gave excellent insight and was pretty much spot on with his commentary, punditry and in highlighting his concerns about Rovers.

More likely to be 0-0 or 0-1.

It's gotten to the point where not losing is actually seen as a victory, even if we only get a point. Zero ambition and expectations through the floor. You'd think we were a newly promoted club, rather than a team that finished 7th last season. 

[Polky]

He’s simply not good enough to manage in the Championship.

His last two jobs in this league (Watford/Rovers) have resulted in the following:

Played - 83

W - 23

D - 26

L - 34

Win percentage - 27.71%

[RevidgeBlue]

One win in 14, 4 home wins in 20 since joining the Club.

We simply can't win a game under Ismael. 

Sick of saying it but we'll go down if he isn't potted - and fast.

And I dont even think it will be close.

Gallacher runs the ex-players association (that is affiliated with the club) and is a regular in the corporate lounges.

Ergo his opinion on the running of the club is anything but impartial, so I’m not interested in what he has to say on it.
