How does the current figure compare to this time last year Gooz?

I’d guess the two crippling knee injuries got in the way of his football career more than that, mate. When I did put myself through the torture of watching the show, it was clear that football was Dacks life.

I’ll take you up on that 👍🏻 No chance either of those two end up there.

I don’t think we lacked in hunger and desire if I’m honest, I think we lacked goals. What I’d do to have had Carlton Morris or Viktor Gyokeres up top this season. Not signing a striker in January was what killed us.

Think there will be attractive jobs in Europe out there for JDT, depends which ones come up. Be such a shame if he was to go because we are literally 3/4 players away from finishing in the top six, wouldn’t blame him if he left though. He’s got more ambition than any of the stooges involved with running our club.

We sign a striker in Jan, we’re sat comfortably in the top six right now. Simple as that. I’m actually excited for next season, we bring a bit more quality in, in the final third of the pitch and we’ll be a force. Rest of the team is good enough for me, tonight showed that.

The city game was a Saturday 3PM, would have been 500 there at an absolute maximum, I doubt even that. Agree with everything else you’ve said mate, spot on.

Yeah I was thinking the other day our away followings these days are better than they were during the mid 2000s in the prem. I remember being at a 1-1 draw away at Man City where Kalinic scored, I reckon there was about 200 rovers fans there. I also remember games like a Sunday away trip to Bolton, a Jason roberts solo goal to win it late on I think there would have only been 700/800 of us there. For whatever reason our away following is a lot better these days, maybe we were just to comfy as a mid table prem side, if only we knew what was going to come.

1.5k+ is a more than respectable following this weekend, I’ve been at Brum on a Saturday with 500 there. Obviously the Sheff United game was always going to be a big turn-out because of the magnitude of the game, it’s just common sense.

They gave us all they could? Not that I’m bothered about them getting 2k but they couldn’t have given us any more for the reverse fixture.

If the game was at Ewood I’d feel a lot more confident. They usually have our number at Bramall Lane. You never know though. Head says 2-0 defeat, heart says we snatch a 1-0.

A place at 12/1 is hardly breaking the bank Merce but I’m sure you invested all your profit on the Blues tonight. Stick it all back on us to qualify on Sunday, believe 🙌🏻

I see, trust me the last thing I want is 8000 of that lot celebrating promotion in our back yard. Let’s see what happens!

Not sure they can get less than 3000, club has to provide 10% of the ground so that’s 3000+ already minimum. I imagine they’ll get about 4k.

Brian Kenny, that guy has a shrine to Mowbray in his house. Proper strange guy

What a difference having a manager in charge who gives a shit about the cups. In the top six currently and two good cup runs to boot. JDT massively over achieving with this squad! Full credit to him and the lads tonight, absolutely brilliant performance, we could have been 4 or 5 up!

1-0 win to Rovers confirmed. Cheers for that Merce 😃

I’m always interested to hear your view on players and stuff but saying Vale had a good game is absolutely crazy. He was invisible throughout and once again struggled to get involved bar one moment where he laid it off to Thomas which was the first time I’d seen him hold the ball up successfully full stop. Gally wasn’t much better when he came on granted but Vale was still really poor, he needs a loan to league one or two next season. Criminal we didn’t bring a striker in, in Jan, it really is.

No, don’t think there was. Good player but not championship quality for me, he’d have still been an improvement on Vale and Gally though!

The atmosphere was bad last night even by the usual dead Ewood standards and the football did nothing to help on that front, it really is the most depressing place in the country to watch football and has been for 10+ years, we only make any noise when we want to do a bit of booing. Venkys really have killed this great club.

Vale wouldn’t score goals in the conference, simple as that.

Mark Harris?! He’s shite.

He’s back. 😍😍😍

Has anyone seen @chaddyrovers?

We were 2nd/3rd this time last year, we all said we needed a striker, links to Josh Maja and a couple of others didn’t turn into anything and we fell like a stone out of the playoffs. This time round we bring in Thomas on a short term loan, O’Brien (if it goes through) but once again, no striker. The club are quick to stress promotion isn’t the aim but why bring in two short term loans like that if it’s not? But then also why not bring in a striker either, it’s a confusing contradictory mess. The only conclusion we can come to once again is that our club is run like an absolute shambles, but we all knew that already.
