v Derby County (a) - 8/3/2025

[Valconite]

Pears the gift that keeps on giving. 😂😂😂😂😂. Most predictable result of the season.  Radio turned off and going to do other chores.  Imagine being there in the away end and having to watch it 🤣

Could you imagine how badly we’d fold in the playoffs? Almost makes it look like we’re being done a favour being kept out of it.

I'd like to actually pretend for once in the last 15 years that we're trying for it and are a functional club.

He wrote a very sweet letter 

[roverblue]

We look worse under Ismael than under Lowe 

[Tugay-is-God]

And now Kargbo injured? Great, what a day this is turning into!

[USABlue]

Pears has single handedly cost us a playoff spot since Xmas.  He needs to be sat diwn Inwould feel better with Hyam in goal I think.  I thiugh we might lise but did not realize it would be over after 6 mins.

[moerpho]

On that first goal. If Pears comes put to catch the ball and not punch it, he would probably get a free kick if missed or he might…you know…catch it. This punching shit from goalkeepers is a part of modern football that is steadily driving me insane.

[neophox]

Kargbo off injured.

[K-Hod]

Like night follows day, Rovers bottle it when the going gets tough.

Thank goodness we had such ‘significant investment’ in January though 😰.

You and me both, but the opening 7 minutes of this game makes me wonder how bad it would be. Sounds like Derby fans have turned up the volume and we are overwhelmed. Feel for the many that made their way down.

Eustace in training this week:

 

 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Well well. Rovers  never fail to disappoint.  I think a few of us predicted we'd lose this one because we do it every fucking time we play a 'poor team who can't buy a win'. 

Thought we'd last longer than 6 mins though. 

Is it too early to fall the managerial appointment yet? 

 

 

[duckson]

Kargbo down injured....coming off.

Sanderson on.....eh.

 

3-5-2 i think.

Honestly, you'd be a bit of a simpleton to be backing Pears at this stage.

Consistently incompetent, gifts goals and costs us games.

Play Michalski if Toth isn't much better.

[neophox]

Yes...put on a defender for Kargbo

[DeeCee]

Jesus H Christ on a fucking bike!  I thought we'd go into this all guns blazing! WTF has happened?

No. He was  desperation signing, a hugely unimpressive manager. 

[Angry_Pirate]

What a pathetic substitution 

[RTM08]

Game over. Season over. Cheap out on your players and managers and this will happen time and again. So unbelievably predictable.

No Inthiught from the off he would be a disaster   Seems to be heading that way.

[OnionBalaji]

This is piss poor and absolutely baffling 

 

pears needs to fuck right off and never wear the shirt again… waster 

 

players don’t look at the races or heart not in it…. 

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Gone to 3-5-2

[simongarnerisgod]

i can see our better players eyeing up an exit this summer,absolute draining to be a rovers fan and player

[jim mk2]

Entirely predictable 

Feel sorry for all those who have gone

Ismael a failing manager at this point
