v Swansea City (h) - 30/9/25, k/o 19:45

[philipl]

Kargbo abysmal.

Thanks to big club 100th minute equaliser we are outside the bottom 3 on goal difference over a club that doesn't pay its players.

From the Rovers TV angle, both the 87th and 88th minute incidents were clear penalties we weren't given.

Similar record to Paul Ince…

6 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses in 21 games - 28.6% win rate.

For older fans Jim Iley is the one he reminds me of - always has done from the moment he walked into the place.

The manager absolutely no-one wanted and performing accordingly.

That’s 48 points over the course of a season. Would you take that at this point?

I'll rightly blame Valerian too.

He's joined the club knowing what would happen.

Seemed very happy in the post summer transfer window interview.

Fuck him 

Complicit certainly.

iv`e said before,the only use for kargbo is to bring him on after the hour,stick him on the halfway line and tell him to chase long balls,he has absolutely no brain at all

i did notice tonight there is little talking going on between the players,cantwell leads by example but as captain he is`nt a shouter,also a big worry is losing to nothing sides like charlton and swansea,i don`t think we have a hope in hell of beating a resurgent stoke and we are certainly facing a hiding at coventry

on the positive,alabiosui was fantastic and gudjonson grew into the game(rovers centre forwards are always up against it the way val sets up)

As that would probably guarantee relegation why would anyone take it?

Sure, that’s why I asked it……………

 

”Across the past 10 Championship seasons, an average of 44.5 points has been enough to avoid relegation to League One.”

Really poor tonight. Severe lack of quality all over the park. Apart from Alebiosu the new players didn’t impress. When Tronstad blazed over from the edge of the box there wasn’t a single Swansea player trying to close him down. We lost despite the opposition being poor and disinterested which is a damning sign. Ipswich was an incredibly unlucky incident and it’s clearly knocked any confidence and momentum that we had. The owners and directors deserve every ounce of bad luck they get. The fans don’t deserve it but we have to just hope and pray that each setback is another step closer to a venxit. 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Why do we all bother? Because we care/love/breathe our club. Why do they bother fuck knows, but they don’t. Just fuck off!

Did Gudjohnsen grow into the game?

And Kargbo has no use. Even in the circumstances you suggest, he has nothing to offer. Horrendous player.

[Aqualung]

 

11,000 including 342 Swansea supporters. Says it all really. 

[johnradfordsubbuteo2]

Perhaps if the Telegraph report it as a 2-1 win for Rovers they'll allow Mr Jackson back in the ground.

I actually blamed Gudjonson for their winning goal, really poor to not control in front of goal for one of our best chances.

he did better in the second half,tbh a top class centre forward would struggle in this side,he did ok considering the service and he`s more robust than yuki,who is to lightweight to lead the line

At least Yuki got his head on a cross and nearly scored.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Could we re-sign Faz and Jansen?

11,013...lowest Championship crowd tonight by a country mile.

Was dreadful play, followed by more dreadful play by others in particular the lazy Kargbo.

Did he? Had one chance and totally blew it leading to their goal. Offered no threat or value whatsoever.

Ohashi is really limited but at least the ball sometimes sticks with him.

If we can’t get a result against that Swansea team tonight it bodes poorly for the rest of the season. They were so poor and yet somehow we managed to conspire to lose due to two defensive errors.

I think we look ok as a team this season but just seem to have no luck in front of goal or with decisions. Then at the other end every mistake we make gets punished. All signs of a bad season ahead.

A big problem is how poor we are outside the first 11. Every sub just makes us worse rather than impacting the game. Kargbo with one of the worst 45 mins in a rovers shirt for some time.

The whole place just has a stink to it at the moment from the boardroom to the pitch. Lose again on Saturday and that must be some sort of home record start to a season.

Does that include season ticketholders who didn't attend?

[Tomphil2]

The self inflicted managed decline is now clear for all to see.

Can't really say anything other than what we are seeing is to be expected, you can't replace all the best players and thousands of mins championship experience overnight with cheap non British imports and expect anything else.

As for Ismael he struggled with far better squads than this at WBA and Watford and they were trying for the top spots.

He hasn't got the first clue what to do when he's up against it and that is based on more evidence than tonight.

Yeah. There were about 7500 there I’d say. It was busier than an early league cup game, but not by much. The 4 season ticket holders who sit behind me were all missing, and I’ve never known all of them miss a league game.
