The main takeaway I get from that is that the recruitment team allegedly planned these signings to fit a specific plan and it took 8 games to realise none of them were capable of playing it. Even if we do make signings in January I have zero faith that they will be what we need.

Can't complain at all with that, and it will put to rest my umming and ahhing over whether I get a new shirt. I don't get to many home games anyway, but I'll aim for the Wednesday away game rather than the home games over the Christmas period. As others have said, whether there is a significant fanbase left to completely boycott remains to be seen, but there's no harm in trying. Already seeing a lot of backlash on certain areas of social media.

Even if we did it's the same recruitment team that's added complete guff in the last two windows - it's highly unlikely that will change in this one.

This alone should get the manager sacked. We're lucky we hit Southampton and Leicester before they got their acts together or we'd already be losing ground.

He was crap last season when he started too. It's like Bambi on ice every time he's on the pitch.

We can't beat anyone down near us. In fact, if it wasn't for some of the better teams meeting us when their form was in thr pits we'd be cut adrift by now. Clueless owner, clueless management and an at best mid table League One squad was always leading to this

We generally look better away from home and honestly I think if the home crowd are loud it will actually help rather than hinder. This is a must-not-lose, and I think we will do that - just. Pompey 1-1 Rovers

Another home game against another awful side, and yet again we fail to win. Still no doubt in my mind that this team is going down.

Okay... someone tell me why Baradji didn't come on 30 minutes ago?

Sky commentator saying he's been good and I'd love to know if he's got the same stream on as me.

It's ridiculous how many crosses of ours result in the person their aimed at doing a half-arsed jump and the ball sailing over them and off of the pitch.

Goal kick with 5 players within the final 20yds of the pitch and then they hoof it up field after tapping it to each other a few times What is the point?

Give over. You don't win one home game by the middle of December because of referees. This is the worst Rovers team in my lifetime and I don't think it's close.

Hahahahahaha

We just don't do anything, and this has been a consistent theme all season. I don't understand what the plan is supposed to be, especially at home.

I'd give you half of that as a squad player and not a penny more.

For all the criticism Yuki is the only player in their half of the pitch doing anything. Two or three times he's got down the left and no on else is in the same postcode.

Hard work and determination puts him above most of the squad for me. We have a poor, poor squad but at least he tries.

Alebiosu is miles ahead of him as a signing. Good finisher but offers little the rest of the time. That said, he can get away with it when he's scoring.

I feel like I use the phrase "I've never seen Ewood this empty" every week this season.

If we get another called off I'll be amazed if the EFL don't begin the punishments. It's an absolute farce and completely preventable. If the game goes ahead, Oxford have a bit of fight about them and we generally struggle with that. With the cancellation at the weekend an Oxford win will rope us in so this is a must-win for me. However, I doubt we will. Rovers 1-1 Oxford

Like that he's come out strong, but it has also given the perfect excuse not the reinforce the squad in January, which I fully expect them to take. Knowing them, they'll half-ass the pitch maintenance too.

Wolves are absolutely shocking. United aren't that much better but if this is how they're set for the season I don't think they'll even reach Derby's total. The United goal was also just awful from every single player's POV, on both teams.

I can't see how that would fly considering the Ipswich game setting the precedent.

Another thing this does now is add a tonne of extra pressure to the Oxford game. We lose the extra 3 points a win would've given us, with a win taking them above us most likely, and the added pressure that if it's raining on Tuesday we likely won't be able to finish the game.
