I said at half time, it was a huge half coming up, both in terms of the season and the future of the club. A relegation this season, would take some serious recovering from, but hopefully yesterdays result, has eased those fears now. The two key players for me yesterday, were Szmodics and Dolan. I also thought JRC was superb and his assist for the second was excellent. I watched it on Rovers TV from Spain, as I have all bar 3 of the league games this year, although instead of the TV nearly being launched, yesterday it was decked in Blue and white ribbons post match. The monkey is now off the Managers back, so hopefully, we can pick up some points in the next 2 and the shredded nerves, can take a break for the last count le of games.

Dreamland this and one every single fan deserves. Does this feel good at last.

It’s a very big half coming up now, not only in our season, but in our history. A win today pumps belief back into everyone and maybe gives the manager the boost he needs. Come on Rovers, let’s do it and give us the belief we need.

It could be the transmissible illness he is referring to.

Not at all. I am basing my opinion on not only the results, but also the way we have played. If he keeps us up, I will go into the summer as a very relieved fan and so far as I am concerned, the slate is then clean for next season, with the manager. For clarity, I do not blame the manager for the current mess, he was on a hiding to nothing.

I will actually why would I not?

It can be about attitude and hopefully we treat this as a must win game and go for it. I do not want us set up to try and snatch a point.

I really can't accept that. If he had won 3 or 4 of his first 10 instead of the current none, I am pretty sure that he would have already won the fan base over. The facts are there in black and white and not only that, the brand of football has been very poor so far too. If he wins today and again on Saturday, he will win a section over too and even keeping us up will probably do the trick.

If the people who used to work for us for nothing can make a few quid out of it, then what not the odd fan?

I sincerely hope so.

Whether he was Waggotts appointment or Broughton's is a mute point. You asked about the circumstances that I was referring to in my post and my reply explained these circumstances. I guess you are of the opinion of the jury is out at the minute, as I fail to see how anyone can be happy with him at the minute. I am very unhappy with the appointment and as already stated, I will nail my colours to the mast and state that he will take us down and the blame falls with who appointed him as well as the guy himself. I can see this, perhaps you and Waggott can't and if I am proved to be wrong, I will hold my hands up. Do you think he will keep us up?

Stick £70 on now whilst we are 7/2 (Paddy power) to go down and it will be free.

He was honest too and I struggle to think of anyone else under these owners being honest and telling the fans, as it is.

Here is my view on the situation, using Rovers and the teams currently below us and their remaining fixtures. Rovers Sunderland L, Southampton L Bristol City D Leeds L Sheff Weds W Coventry D Leicester L 47 Points Sheffield Weds Boro L, QPR D, Norwich D, Stoke W Rovers L West Brom D, Sunderland W Points 48 Hud Stoke D, Millwall W, PNE L Bristol City D Swans W, Birmingham D IPS L 48 Birmingham PNE D, Leicester L Cardiff W, Coventry D, Rotherham W, Huddersfield D Nor D 49 Plymouth Bristol City W, Rotherham W, QPR D, Stoke L, Millwall L Hull L 48

I was told by a client of mine, who is a journalist for one of the red tops, that he is very uncomfortable doing press interviews, so what you say there, does appear to be spot on.

First of all Waggott seemingly having him lined up and ready to parachute in, once JDT was gone. The appointment was very quick, so had to be lined up in my opinion. Also with Waggott seemingly stopping JDT pointing out the incompetence and lies being told (in particular the Maguire transfer and his pre match gagging order) he obviously wanted someone who would paint nothing but positives in his media interviews. These are the exact circumstances I am talking about and I therefore want to see some evidence of the positives, rather than bluster and waffle, before I can bring myself to listen. I am sure some people are happy to gobble up the tripe, but I can't bring myself to listen, as I am now convinced his appointment was the last piece in the relegation puzzle. I SINCERELY hope he proves me wrong, but the evidence so far suggests I am right.

I agree, don't watch. I haven't watched a single interview yet. I can't bring myself to watch one, given the circumstances behind his appointment. I know it won't matter to him, but I don't feel like I can get behind him at the minute. If he gets a couple of wins on the board and goes on to keep us up, I am sure I will feel differently, but at the minute, think his appointment was the final nail in the relegation coffin.

Rovers TV showing it, including in the UK for £10.

It’s just another abysmal decision this, made by a man who is simply not accountable for his actions. We will not win today or on Saturday so from having a 7 point buffer it will be down to none this time next week. No doubt he will still be telling us how proud he is of the players and how we don’t have any must win games, but that’s par for the course with a loser and I’m afraid that’s what he is.

That either a lie or negligent. What next, “I don’t look at the table”.

It’s highly likely that we will lose again tomorrow and again on Saturday. I’m going to predict we won’t score in any of there either. I won’t quite put him in the same bracket as king rat, but he is reminding me a lot of Appleton. If we do lose the next two, it should be thank you and good night, but I can’t see that happening. A terrible appointment in my view and one we will regret.

It’s already been pointed out that playing 5 at the back V Millwall and Plymouth at home was a mistake. Looking at what was happening in the first half V Plymouth and bearing in mind we were 1-0 up at half time, a competent manager, would have changed it. Had we won one of those games, the pressure would be an awful lot less than it currently is, but the manager decided to announce it was not a must win game, before the Millwall draw. That’s the crux for me, it’s try not to lose instead of go for the jugular especially in those two games. To still be winless after 10 tells me we have appointed a dud.

It’s got narrow defeat written all over it. Much as we are desperate for the three points, we will be set up to be hard to break down. That nullifies us as an attacking threat and the lack of goals under the manager will be clear to see again. A win will lift the gloom at least until the following weekend but I can’t see it and will go 1-0 to the home side.

If you are employed to win football matches and you win none is ten attempts, it says you are not very good and the person who appointed you is not very good either. We already knew Waggott isn’t up to it and with each passing game, the manager is proving, he isn’t either. We won’t be removing him any time soon, but his appointment is the final piece in a jigsaw, that will bring relegation, that looks more like it was designed than not.

Tell your lads friend, if he hands her a drink, to make sure she has something waterproof on, in case he spills it all over her.
