Good call. Clearly passionate that we aren’t signing good players. Get rid. Expect a yes man next, another Coyle.

Yep because he was happy to assemble a team of no hopers. At least Tomasson wants to bring in better players, and aspire to better the club. Is it his fault he’s working with some terrible players? Especially the ones who score goals and win games. From his manner in the interview I think he’ll walk, so you’ll get your wish.

Just caught the tail end of post match interview. JDT is clearly seething at the transfer window.

They’ve been under performing for years.

Some firm is missing a decent painter and decorator.

Better strikers and we win easily. Add to that if we didn’t have a bunch of charlatans in suits, we sign o’brien and we control the game. As someone said, the worst squad since the Coyle days.

You’ll get the same if not worse from another manager. The squad is clearly not up to it. We can’t score so we bring on Gallagher, another bloke who can’t score. I think that says it all.

Executive errors affecting matters on the pitch. Should have been sold while he was worth something. They learned nothing from Rothwell, but then “they” couldn’t really care less.

That’s wrong. Better forwards and we are 2-0 up.

We have inept forwards with no hunger, and it’s nothing new. I’m not sure how we can make them “ept”.

It’s okay everyone, Gallagher and Morton double threat incoming. Boom!

Poor by Buckley. Several chances to pass it easily, then holds onto it too long and f**ks it.

Or a slowly melting David Baddiel waxwork.

Gallagher being a colossus is like an oasis in a desert. It’s not real. Though granted he does seem to defend better than attack. He’s as much a passenger as Vale though.

I look at this more positive than most. That goal goes in, team on a high, we play with more confidence. 1-0. Another goes in, 2-0. Wigan in for a trouncing. We sign a striker or two and we’re laughing. Not long till… Summer? 😩

When you can’t see the sand for the oasis.

Should be 2-0 up at least. Squandered chances and several moments when a shot should have been a pass to a better placed player. When Travis shot Dack was in a perfect place to score, unmarked. And this is why we fail.

We miss Gallagher like we miss the relegation chicken.

Brereton. JRC. Squandered chances.

Should be 1-0 up. How many times are our forwards going to let us down?

Sums up the Rovers squad perfectly. They get in the team because there's no competition. And if you don't you'll get a chance regardless a match or two later. Motivating those players can't be easy.

I found that funny.

We did that in 2001, we can attest, it doesn't work.

He'll be just as effective on the bench, but his best position is at a different club. Arguably a different sport. It's just a shame that the same can be said for Vale. I'd be either putting Brereton up front or Dolan. And Dolan isn't ideal.

Probably sees that he doesn't have much in the way of options.
