Look at it this way: do we really want to get tonked by Burnley next season? Let's go down to League One, the owners might go and the rebuild can begin.

 

 Seriously, we do not want to go down, because we won't come back for a long, long time

And there's no saying the owners will leave either. Why should they?

We've finished in the top 8 in 3 of the last 4 years

defintive proof that pasha and the indians do not want us in the play offs let alone the top flight

[StHelensRover]

Does anyone have the Sky Sports coverage of this on? What has been their take of our performance? I've only got my own eyes which are bleeding at this point and our club Comms.

Ismael was sacked by Watford for only one win in ten.

What is it now, one win in thirteen?

[Tugay-is-God]

Clear penalty there.

[OsloRover]

That’s a stone waller ref

[Paul Mellelieu]

I'm watching my local derby.  Watching this Rovers team is too upsetting.

I do not think that as ever been in doubt !

[RTM08]

What are the referees doing in this division? What on earth was that call?

They've just said the Ohashi push is a definite free kick if he was on side.. 

Failing to note he was on the penalty spot 

[DutchRover]

Stonewall penalty, pathetic refereeing

[roverandout]

I don't think that was a pen. Ohashi went down to easily 

[Polky]

Ref is having a shocker!

I don't feel there's been ever really been the depth nor outright quality for a sustained promotion push. We've only ever briefly been part of the pack. Chancers, not serious contenders.

The organisation's culture isn't driving for promotion and lacks ambition. There's at least a dozen clubs in the Championship who proactively have a serious plan for promotion and funds to buy and attract quality.

We would have gone down in 2023/24 were it not for some luck v Leeds and playing already promoted Leicester on final day. Unambitious, low resource teams eventually lose their players and go down.

[Cherry Blue]

Penalty all day long

[...]

Literally no words. Story of our season. 

Why us. Why do we have everything stacked against us. From owners, to the refs we are a floating boat with no rudder fk the Efl fk Venkys fk em all

I've honestly never seen a team worse at shooting as a collective.

[OsloRover]

Jørgensen is an improvement on every forward we have at the club

It was a shove at full sprint, I'm not exactly sure what you were expecting him to do?

[StHelensRover]

Cantwell having yet another stinker and ITFC fans really enjoying it as you'd imagine

That's an argument to improve the team then, not to get relegated and start from scratch.

I was thinking that. Defenders holds his shirt and drags him onto the floor yet it's a foul against him!

In the box too, and we've just had another.

I thought he should have been a lot stronger there as well.

Shouldn't have given the referee a decision to make.

8 but not one on target.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Our new Man up top looks very lightweight tbh.
