If i was in charge i'd be doing everything in my power to keep Tronstad. Strangely, your messiah seemed to like him also, any thoughts why?

Given that our record over the the last 4 seasons with or without either player is:

2022/23 (Travis/No Tronstad) 7th

2023/24 (Tronstad/Mainly no Travis) Stayed up on last day of season

2024/25 (Tronstad and Travis) 7th

2025/26 (Tronstad/No Travis) Sat 4 points outside the relationship zone after half a season

I've really no idea!

Perhaps not even very good Head Coaches can get everything right? He obviously didnt rate him highly enough to take him with him to Derby though.

He got a sideways move to Derby, not a big club, where your other big hero is laughably hardly top of the league ripping it up like you stated he would with absolute certainty. Many of his own fanbase are already questioning the 'project' and can see through his soundbites.

I never mentioned Eustace at all originally, you were the one who brought him up. To be accurate I actually stated  with some certainty that Derby would finish above us this season and you stated with equal certainty the opposite.

Look Im sorry for you that 10 months after he left, you're still so bitter that a former manager who actually did really well for us looks set to have Derby finishing 10-12 points ahead of us over the course of the full season this time round but it's no more his fault now than it was when he left.

Your ire should be directed solely at the owners and their henchmen. Not Eustace.

That Hackney tackle was a bigger red than Clifford.

Abominable officiating.

Was the Clifford one the one on Baradji at Preston?

Not that it matters but whilst they were both the most obvious reds you'll ever see I thought the one today was a petulant swipe whereas the one on Baradji was a real career ender potentially.

They are 6 points ahead of us and we have a game In hand.

They have had injuries but not to the extent we have we also led in two games that were abandoned. 

Iv said before they most likely will but you are talking like it's a done deal and they have been way better than us so far this season which isn't the case

Im quite happy to judge it at the end of the season.

I wasn't the one who brought Eustace up or bizarrely started slagging him off when he has them above us in the League.

We have to take risks with our signings because we have zero money. We are always going to have a lengthy injury list.

Its no accident!

No sorry. I meant Clifford the big red dog.

Too many kids movies for me.

Another away result in our favour-

However it’s not a win

but a clean sheet with Pears in goal (!!)

there were times in recent seasons where a win at Middlesbrough was almost expected 

how times (and expectations ) have changed

edging closer to every rovers fan favourite time of the year, what madness will they try and spin this time

We have won 3 and drawn 8 of our last 11 league games away to Boro
