This is a fantastic article. How do we get this out to a wider audience? We really need to ramp up the pressure on the Rao family. As a fan of 40 years, they are even starting to kill my spirit now. 

It is known by the wider audience so to speak. I got the full article E Maile me today, by a journalist who is a sports reporter for one of the regular red tops.

Offloading Wharton and Travis in the midst of a relegation battle is borderline criminal. Surely heads will roll if we go down.

I doubt any heads will roll, no matter what.

Who have we sacked in the last 13 years?

Just being nosy, what area is that? 😁

Brockhall Village. 

We are currently around a best price of 5/1 to go down, although a but shorter with some bookmakers.

I think we may well be a lot shorter than that by 5.00pm on Saturday, but hope I am wrong of course.

Hopefully, we've seen the last of him. 

It is a vegetable patch he is tending, as he is an expert at uncovering turnips.

In this article Eustace is quoted as saying Tronstad and Hedges might be available for tomorrow.

That could be kidology on the managers part, or perhaps he was having my brother on, as he told him over the weekend, he was out for 4 weeks with his ankle.

Iv no idea just going off what JE said in that article, hopefully he is back we need him 

He told my brother over the weekend that he is out for 4 weeks.

He must have started about 5 games for us so hard to say if he was any good or not. Just a completely bizarre signing and re-selling of a player. Add it to the list since the Venkys showed up

Perhaps someone wanted a punt on him getting less than 3 goals for the season.

He said Hedges didn't train today but might be ok for the weekend, Tronstad touch and go for tomorrow night

I don't think that is right with Tronstad.

Come on it was obviously a silly move for us at the time coming off such a long injury layoff at his age

I know he was free, but how much did we agree to pay him?

He looked miles overweight to me, when he did make the team, for those few minutes.

It's unlucky that Rovers didnt have enough points to stay up at the end of the season. We shouldnt be blaming anyone, we are just unluckly.

You are spot on. I mean how unlucky to have trusted someone to send an E Mail, who didn't know the difference between the words Send and Save. Nearly all of the letters are the same, well at least 50% of them, as we have an S and and E in both words.

Just our luck that.

Hope Tronstad is back for this one. If not I would start Ayari alongside Buckley. Garrett struggles too much positionally.

Tronstad will not be back until after the international.

He lives across the Road from my brother, who saw him yesterday and he confirmed 4 weeks out.

"WE WONT GIVE UP".... Eustace front page of Telegraph.

 

We all feel assured and confident after that John lad 🙄

I guess he mustn't have heard about the owners.

The meeting is being delayed at the request of the fans, not the club. We wanted a meeting to be after the next court date in India, rather than the day before. Likely to be on 26th now.

Has the court date been put back?

Thought it was just me. Tried one interview and it was a banal collection of cliches largely consisting of ‘Blackburn’ ‘you know’ ‘togetherness’, ‘Hedgy’, ‘Pearsy’ etc etc 🙄 

I’m back to swerving all their pre and post match tripe like I’ve been for every Venky appointment, JDT aside.

I haven’t listened to a single interview yet. I get the impression, he has been place there to simply toe the line and take the spotlight off others.

I was told on Friday by a respected National press reporter, that he does not like talking to the media and is very uncomfortable doing so.

It's got Millwall away win written all over this.

The have just enjoyed back to back wins and have got the much needed new manager bounce.

Rovers 0 - Millwall 2.

No excuses, we move on to Plymouth and then the international break and the explanation of the button gate saga.

There is the little matter of the court hearing too, so it could be all over bar the shouting very soon.

Seems no time at all since we were 10 points away from a relegation place and people were thinking we would be OK this season but would struggle next.

We are in a real dog-fight now. Is there enough fight left in the dog?

I think the dog is on its way to the vet to have its injection. I hope I’m wrong, but can’t see us beating Millwall on Tuesday, who unlike us, have had the new manager bounce and back to back wins. Oh how Rovers need the same right now. Lose on Tuesday and Saturday becomes a real pressure cooker.

Sold Wharton, loaned out Travis, brought in the crocked Fleck and already lumbered us with Moran.

The man responsible for the football side of things, Gregg Broughton ladies and gentleman.

Sorry, you simply cannot blame him for this. Waggott and the owners have sabotaged this together. No money spent players sold or loaned out to save money and although the fans do not deserve relegation, it’s happening in my opinion.

Szmodics wasn't injured. He had a very unfortunate incident which is very painful!

The bit that made the baby he welcomed into the world this week. 

A few on here were predicting a hammering before the game. Those who did I am sure will be happy to be proven wrong. For those who said they don’t care about the cup, the game, the occasion the grit and determination, all say you should care.

I am still shaking from the tension that the pens brought, but despite the huge disappointment at the minute, yet again I’m proud to say I’m Rovers till I die.

Well done to everyone tonight, it was a great spectacle and a performance to savour.

Hopefully ends the same as that Championship fixture where we won 1-0 with 1 shot vs about 40 from Newcastle. 
Think it was Mulgrew

I think we did the double over them, so we are there bogey team.

I’d hazard to guess many Rovers fans in this forum are close friends with those of burnley, Preston, ManC, Bolton, Liverpool, etc. 

Probably true, but you won't hear it here 😄

I had better come clean. My business partner is from the other side.

They money is running round the pitch at Selhurst park every other week.

Where has that gone, as surely that will at least keep the lights on for now, even when the court decision goes against us, which I suspect will be the case.

I had it in my head that the club had said they weren't putting gambling companies on the shirts anymore when we moved to Recoverite?

Have I completely made that up?

I suspect you are right, but our main man was offered a sum he couldn't refuse and decided to abandon any morals he may have in favour of the money.
