Yeah, he probably wont play much. But when he does from the start, he isnt good enough.

You speak as if it doesnt matter who is backup because they wont play much. 

I dont see why you are so bothered about it.  More issues going on here.

Also, one of those 7 goals would have got us into the play offs. No big deal though according to you. 

Not losing to Derby or Stoke or Swansea or Hull would have been good enough also

Just stick to your guns. You dont have to defend a club decision you have clearly said that you dont agree with.

You don't have to criticise every decision your Club does but you do every day. 

[roversfan99]

I think the way the club is run sort of makes regular criticism the natural course of action.

But like you, I said I didnt want Forshaw to sign a contract. Difference being, now he has I am not going out of my way to defend the decision. Because again like you, I disagreed with it.

Some of those 7 goals that arent a big deal would have come in handy in those games. Glad you agree.

I highlighted 5 games which we lost to teams in bottom half which we should have taken something from. very different point from yours.

Imagine where we would have been if Sammi has stayed!

Isn't that the point?

We never build anything.

No that wasn’t the point at all that’s a separate issue entirely 

I agree about failed windows and letting players contracts run down etc 

but to say attacking wise we didn’t resolve that but yet had a better season as Iv stated was/is irrelevant

These transfer targets are weird and there's something I'm just not grasping. We're looking at a 27 year old unproven CB from a shit league for 2-3 million? What I'm guessing is its another Tavares type approach where we've likely offered about 800k upfront with the rest heavily dependent on add-ons. 

 

I'm not buying that we're spending this much up front for any of our targets. As much as Gestede will probably try to dress it up that way.

No way we’re paying 2/3million up front but I don’t see the problem in not if we get the player in. 
If they don’t play prem/champ ever that automatically means they are unproven he’s an international (albeit lesser country) with Europa league and conference league experience and going by interest from other clubs he would be a solid option

Not a single point secured against promoted teams away from Ewood last season. I think that I am right in saying, not a single point from the last twelve away fixtures (36 points) against promoted teams over the last 4 seasons !!!! This is where our play offs dreams have been routinely killed and it needs to be highlighted.

Well we scored fewer goals.

[Tomphil2]

And if we'd scored more and been capable of scoring more we'd have nicked a few more points and been in the play offs.

As did on average the whole of the league people here really really missing the point 

last summer many here said no szmodics equalled relegation as there was no way we could replace his goals 

nobody could replace 27 goals but what we did was find ways to no be a one man team and having every contribute a bit more than the season before and to me 7 short of that plus 13 points and 12 places better off is a huge success

theres a million and one things to be depressed about supporting rovers but to try and push a negative onto a positive season (in comparison to the one before) is just crazy

Wishful thinking but I think all the signs are leading to a Travis exit.

Forget about that stat but it's very valid point. 

There is a number of games we should have better in than we did

Paradoxically we didn't lose against and of the three relegated teams away from home last season.

Could anything be more Rovers than that?
