Don’t disagree Howie . problem is this sentiment has been ingrained in people for a long time now . The constant bullshit, false promises , ludicrous statements from various people at the club , owners who can’t be arsed to attend etc etc season by season just get under the skin of fans and it has become a culture of increasing disenchantment for many regulars over the last few years . Price obviously helps but in my opinion it matters less and less because folk have simply lost interest and are losing the sense of belonging to the Club . I can feel it happening to me after decades of following my team all over the country so I can fully appreciate others feeling the same . Those in charge don’t get it because they don’t have any longevity with the club - Johnny come latelys . But the soul of the club is dying a slow death and it’s painful to watch it happening .

“ but we chose 2 non scoring strikers as a different option as that’s what we were looking for at the time “ another classic from the Mowbray library of unfathomable and completely bizarre comments . Just one place below “ we had too much possession “. Motor mouth .

Well I think if we'd have had Dack last night he would have buried a number of Danny Graham knock downs especially first half. My personal mood until the 70th minute was a bit meh in all honesty thinking that a against a good side we might well have struggled quite badly. Funny how 3 quick fire goals had me thinking that there were some decent individual performances that I might not have thought was the case until we scored. Goals change games as they say! A look at our forthcoming fixture list which is pretty tough still leaves me thinking that we will come up quite well short in the final analysis as we simply cant withstand the loss of so many of our key players. 3 points off the play offs at least for 24 hours makes me think how very regrettable our January transfer activity was and how we will be looking back in May with a ''what might have been''. Quite what Venkys will think looking back is anybody's guess ….. assuming they even think at all.

Problem is Arbitro our 2 star youngsters are JRC and Buckley based in U23 performances and both look some way short . However they probably will continue to be so unless we given them a run of games and that will require a fair bit of patience and understanding from us lot . That’s why the manager has to be ready to wear his tin hat in respect of our abysmal January window .The excuses for not doing any business just astound me tbh. Clowns , the lot of them .

The thing is Arbitro , if they came out and said this is our true position, the real state of our finances etc etc and that our immediate future will be to bring our kids through (and possibly have to sell the best ones on) then at least we'd all understand it and manage our expectations accordingly. In other words... the realities of where we are now . But no, we keep getting fed one load of bullsh1t after another, patronised by Waggott , intelligence insulted by Mowbray, fans to blame for this that and the other. We pretend we are serious as a Club about trying to get to the play offs and then start going for unrealistic loan targets who we could not possibly afford and then say ''its the market'' shrug , shrug. I mean Atsu on £50k a week , really???? Not a chance. Unless we discover the Class of 92 very quickly then we will do well to stay in this league never mind go up. That's not to be critical of our kids in any way at all. Its the harsh reality that we all know but which keeps being constantly denied by the morons in charge. If the Club came out and informed us properly of the true position then most of us would accept it and most would buy into it and rally round our youngsters. The fact they don't is what really infuriates and what ultimately causes fans to switch off and turn their backs. Which bit of this don't these clowns understand????

Let’s hope it gets him a £7million Summer move !

Thing is Rev it could be that this boat has already sailed for us as far as European recruitment is concerned. I was reading an article on Brexit and in relation to how it might impact on Football & Football Clubs. The suggestion was , (admittedly still to be decided) that under 18 players couldn't come but more significantly that bringing players into the UK from Europe will be exactly as it is now with rest of the world. In other words unless you are a current /recent /recognised international you wont get a work permit. Now far be it from me but with our transfer kitty looking fairly modest, if indeed anything at all to spend , then we wont be in for many recognised internationals. So it seems to me that in typical Rovers style , we have once again been far too slow off the blocks and ultimately this appointment might actually look rather stupid from a timing viewpoint. My interpretation of an article I read , so maybe i'm wrong but it seemed reasonably clear that this would be the case.

I see Rochina has just scored at the Nou Camp against Barca ! He would have needed to learn how we play anyway . never mind , we’ve got that talent that is Elliot Bennett.

Actually , forget it . I can’t be arsed with any of it any more

I think it would be interesting to know how they came across this guy , why particularly did they think he was the ‘outstanding candidate’ given that he doesn’t have a cv as a scout .Was there a list of applicants or was he singled out and approached ?

Knowing Mowbray he’ll go and bid £3m for Simon Eastwood at oxford and think he’s following the Brentford model . Jesus H !

Are you sure with this clown in charge of our recruitment? - a self confessed shit negotiator . It would be funny if it wasn’t serious . We might as well have Sid James as head of recruitment.

Bbrovers2288- don’t be put off by a couple of voices . It’s what happens on forums of this nature especially when folk are exasperated at what’s going on and fuelled by idiotic comments from Mowbray . i welcome your insight as I’m sure do many others .

Agree with that Paul but for somebody with their business scale and reach you would expect that they would want to ensure it is spent in the right areas rather than squandered recklessly by morons that they have entrusted to spend it . That’s the bit none of us can even begin to understand. And that catalogue of morons is a very lengthy list and way beyond simply being unlucky or being badly advised .

I knew defenders were coming .... I didn’t think he meant coming back !!

Word after was it’s a hamstring and could be 3 weeks

We still have the Raya money though haven’t we???!!!??

If anybody actually knows what our style of play is . Mowbray doesn’t know either .

And not even a European scout . But then it took us a long time to sign any body outside Teeside or south of Watford .

The thing is JHR we are under threat of FFP if not perilously close to it so stands to reason that we will have little or no funds to spend . Ergo , it’s either a waste of time window dressing or we will be trawling the Albanian 3rd division looking for a hidden jewel !!! There is just no structure or method to what we are doing , zero clarity on what positions we want to fill , what system we are trying to play etc etc . We are a joke . “we don’t want to throw money around hoping we get one out of 4 or 5 right”” ???!! Hello you Baffoon, that’s exactly what you have done .... and worse than that, you extended their contracts when everyone could see they weren’t up to it . TM is just a babbling idiot and his claptrap just winds me up . I’ve lost all sense of what we are trying to do or quite where all this will end up .We are run by idiots .

Lucky to see 3 of them on the park at the same time ! Despite your argument we are without a left back , our selections for the wide positions are stuck in the tombola and we don’t have a genuine goal scorer . Please don’t tell me Armstrong will lead the line and get the 20 goals an aspiring top six side needs from its striker . He’s had 3 or 4 decent games and grabbed a couple of goals recently ( out with penalties). One mad result at Sheffield Weds is clouding a few judgements all of a sudden . Mathematically , of course we have a chance - as do about 12 other teams . But this manager will self implode if he has to deal with the pressure of that come the business end . Just like our transfer window dealings and overall transfer policy since he arrived , it’s far easier to make out we tried but just fell short . We will be a fair way off the top 6 when the final league table is concluded- in my opinion .

We can now add another £1million to that for Mulgrew

Still a nice reward for getting knocked out if the cup

On the threshold of FFP yet we spend what £100k to go to Portugal ! There must be getting on for 30 or so in the travelling party so I bet it’s not far short .Thsts slot of ticket sales mr Maggott . oh and yes taking a ladies to charlton with an overnight stay no doubt looks another waste of money . So next time you talk about stretch targets and similar bollox , Waggott don’t take us all for fools .

Rathbone is nowhere near the level we already have - ridiculous if we buy him . He would get killed in the championship
