At Rovers I thought he started well, went a bit shit, then never really got back to his earlier performances defensively. However he was brilliant going forward. Alebiosu is a much better defender and when he gets forward he's very good. I trust him defensively more than Brittain and I think we're yet to see the best of him.

He's really selling the club!

They have a decent manager who appears to be able to make decisions by himself. We've got a poor manager who is dictated to by a chicken factory manager and the work experience lad.

I'm so glad I wasn't able to watch today. I hope I'm able to not watch next Saturday. At any other club Ismael would be sacked, but he won't because the people that hired him are much worse.

Nah, Venkys are here for life. I think when we get relegated that's me done with Rovers, and probably football in general. It's not a joyful pursuit with them in charge and 15 years is probably my limit.

The guy in the dugout is the one that keeps putting him on the pitch. I'd say he's the liability.

Typical.

Any chance of getting an equaliser or more likely to concede another?

And there you go, that's what you get for years of downgrading in every sense.

I'm not watching the game, but i'm guessing it's more blandness from the usual suspects.

Utter shite again.

What's the answer VI? De Neve.

So should Ismael, Pasha, Gestede and many of our players!

Sid = Keith Andrews minus the pointing 😫 No midfield. Seeing Miller long balling to Yuki in this weather is going to be fun.

It's especially grim up North. Respect to the Oxford fans that turn up.

I can't see the game being on tonight, it's none stop torrential rain.

Maybe at this very moment. I hope it was a text message simply saying... "Rudy you're a prick."

Worthy of a club statement that - Alex Miller banned for the foreseeable.

Embarassing the club since 2010.

Now thanks to the owners we've got a pitch that can't last for 90 minutes in rain. What an anniversary year!

The ball is bouncing.

It's off. There's no way that a couple of lads unenthusiastically rolling the pitch is going to do much in this weather.

It's because generally the team plays a decent game. The problem is that the manager then gets giddy with his subs and tactics in the last 30 minutes which undo all the efforts.

His decision making has a consistently negative impact on the team. Terrible record, 18th place and game in hand gone. Brings on a lightweight inexperienced winger with no clue of how to defend a lead when there are two fullbacks with much more experience of this league to choose from... Again and again. He needs to go.

I was meaning his subs, when he signed for Rovers his previous clubs fans said he was atrocious with subs. I recall on a Watford forum someone saying, you're playing well then he subs on 3 players at 60 minutes, with no thought given to the quality or position of said players, and then you have 30+ minutes of defending attack after attack when he's fucked up the gameplan.
