Pen? Yuki late and smashed their lad's leg.

Perhaps in the future there will be an 'Evening with Rudy' where he explains how to clear out a squad, reduce budgets, transform a potential promotion side to a side just above relegation and instill a culture of fear with the minimum of experience and know-how.

Crossed Rudy.

Rodney Marsh and Georgie (on the same team) tackling each other for a laugh 🙂

Excellent post.

Ismael’s total league record to date with Rovers 37 games 11 wins 43 points out of possible 111 points This season 25 games 7 wins 28 points

It's a good job you have now been made aware.

Another one? 🙂

Think we've all got the message from the 'aligned' wherever they may be: loans are now acceptable situation is nothing to do with us, just injuries it's the fault of the EFL/Premier League etc for having too many teams and too many games

Eloquent but ineffective imo. First, how do you deal with a regime that cruelly threatens violence to fans, petulantly resists all forms of protest, pays lip service to rules regarding fan representation, is essentially absent and has no hesitation in peddling lies in the media to control the narrative? Second, it would be nice to seek a broad base of protest and somehow get the majority on board as you say. But after 15 years and monumental efforts by some, if the fan base is so apathetic and willing to cover their eyes and ears and sing ‘la, la, la,’ then surely nothing will change their minds. As I mentioned in a previous post elsewhere –such fans are like the black knight clinging to their beliefs and routines even though savagely cut and effectively dying.

Szmodics and Rothwell? Hilarious. Put yourself in their shoes. It would be 'any other club other than that dysfunctional set up.' What you've got to hope is that there are some naive or desperate newbies out there who don't know the full story here. 😉

1952. Semi-final against Newcastle 0-0. Lost the replay. Newcastle went on to beat Arsenal. Pathe https://www.britishpathe.com/asset/53460/

"The season is not over in October, it is over in May so we have a lot of time to adjust everything," he said. Was always going to be the approach. I remember asking on the transfer thread over the summer how long you would have to give the new 'alignment' before you could judge. Ranged from 10 games to end of season. And if it is relegation or just avoiding the drop it will be 'give it until the new season for players to bed in'.....

Complicit in the project.

I wonder if Val has 2 lists. One we have seen, the other if we win?

I know. What did Eddie's clock mean? Perhaps he will answer in due time.

Will he be at the game tomorrow?

Everybody checked their thermals? Supposedly 0 degrees but feeling like -4 degrees with possible snow shower thrown in.

Further to my post above on dealing with high intensity/pressing/physical teams, I'm reminded of how we played Leeds away last year. I don't think this side could do that.

It's the Venky way, like a cat toying with a mouse.

Pasha? Or do you mean that nobody has anything to worry about? I didn't really understand Eddie's graphic. Nice to see he is still around.

Is the clock ticking for Rudy?

I think the pitch will be a factor (not that it should be used as an excuse for us –as has been pointed out, we all know the nonsense that has led us to where we are). But I think we do struggle on a difficult surface. I thought Wrexham were fitter, stronger and more coherent as a team and dealt with bobbly pitch far better than us. They looked like a side that had worked hard to get where they are and had self-belief. I also think (again shouldn’t be used as an excuse) that we don’t deal well with high pressure, high intensity, physical football. If you link that with some dreadful body language and players knowing they are going to be sold or want away from a train wreck, then the ingredients aren’t great for success. Cue a win tomorrow. 🙂

Having 2 of them missing will be on his list post-match....

MaraDolan and Dolandinho. 🙂 Glad for him.
