We didn't have a DOF, DOF was brought in to aid in recruitment, recruitment gets worse. I don't know how anyone can defend this.

If you read what he said earlier in the season, he had no intentions of seriously bolstering the squad in January. The league position was a complete surprise and they weren't prepared for doing any proper business, and it showed with the speed in which they were moving in Jan and then when opportunities came up. And to send off Markanday and Hirst before bringing in replacements is amateur hour.

At any other club Broughton would be sacked, but then so should Waggott.

He's scored 4 goals this season and has two assists, another player that struggles to score is absolutely not what we needed. A cursory glance at the Championship top scorers and the clubs they are with tells you what we need. It's phenomenal that we're still in with a shot. Someone the other day said, are we really worse off than Luton and Coventry? Two teams with 20 goal strikers. If only we'd had a 20 goal striker.

Dolan and Hedges aren’t even strikers, that’s the biggest problem, Mowbray’s bizarre experiment of playing without centre forwards.

This is their Premier League title win 😂

No pressure on anyone from above, so this is how you end up with a chairman with his feet up, a recruitment team not delivering any of their targets and only one senior centre forward who struggles to reach ten goals a season.

He’s going bald so it’s a start.

We keep saying that and Venkys keep delivering.

Oh well, it’ll be sweet seeing them fall. We’ve outplayed three teams and been cheated in two, only 2 points better off. If only we could bring on a £4m player when we’re struggling against a team. The people to blame are off the pitch. I hope Rovers fans never let them forget it. Never forget when Venkys, Waggott and co allowed this to happen.

That wasn’t playing from the back, it was just shit. He just dribbled a bit then gave them the ball. Similar to Hedges chip, players thinking they are better than they are and making mistakes instead of keeping it simple. Gifting the opposition possession rather than them working for it.

Gregg didn’t in January, I don’t have any faith in him to sign anyone decent.

The fuck was Carter doing. That said, we don’t have a player that can score a goal like that. I’ve seen us outplay three teams and get two points because we can’t score. Thanks Gregg.

The players have run their socks off but it’s the same story that we struggle to score goals.

Takes Dunn off and instead of a like for like replacement, changes the entire shape of the team with it 😩

I can't get over him coming on against WBA for 30+ minutes very early in the season, not being arsed and every pass being to an oppo player. He did everything in his power to lose that game. Happy for him to leave in Summer and if he's in the line up for Burnley we're done.

If Brereton wants to restore any good will before he leaves, what a good way to crack a couple of his worldies past Burnley 🤞

Yeah he's had a hamstring injury.

Imagine if they'd appointed Warnock when they had the chance instead of Coyle and given him the cash that they gave to Mowbray.

It's because they have an injured Tella and a few of their players are tiring. No doubt they'll all be back full of energy and Tella will be back on Tuesday.

They were already all over us, ten minutes before a sub was made. As soon as Szmodics scored the team took their foot off the gas. Either that or as someone else mentioned, their nerve went.

Not sure if we overcame it. Some of Dolan's decision making was terrible in the first half and he wouldn't have been playing there had we had a decent centre forward. Our lack of firepower means we can't kill off teams.

Shout out to Sammy Szmodics, the standout player that gave 100% passion for 90 minutes this evening. I've been critical of him previously, but if only we had more of this attitude within the squad. Stick him with a decent striker and they'll score loads next season.

Bit unfair to compare to Carrick considering he's got the Championship's top goalscorer who has scored well over double what our top scorer has this season. I'd be happy to say that if we had a 28 goal striker in the squad, we'd be challenging for the automatics. The club has done that thing they do under Venkys ownership - another bizarre and unfathomable decision. Bringing in a manager that needs players to play a certain way to much fanfare, but then not backed him. It's like not selling Rothwell and Brereton then Broughton saying, we have to work within a budget. It makes no sense. Any other club would have sold them and brought in what we needed. Weird CEO, strange recruitment, odd owners and for years now a bunch of players with the mentality that 45 minutes effort will do.

I've been watching us concede goals due to sitting back for about six years. We have too many bottlers.
