A bit sickening that Raya alone has recently sold for that amount. Kaminski is probably worth about triple what we sold him for 6 months ago. Phillips we'd have likely sought about four times what we got if the ball was in our court. Wharton could be worth triple what we're selling him for in a year, and Gallagher cost us more than double what we might be about to get for him. I don't see these numbers as the victory you do.

When did I ever say it was a victory 🤣. Clearly you didn’t get my point of miss management on the Rothwell comment and Disz and Dack comment…instead pointing out things that aren’t there read the comment. 

To be honest i am happy with Buckley decent player who needs focus. Wharton 22m very good fee for an unproven talent but who could go all the way. With the sale of Kaminski (2.5M), Wharton (22m), Raya(4/5M), Philips (2.2m), if we can ship out Gallagher that is over 30M of sales generate across the coming seasons. Just imagine had we were able to sale Rothwell, Diaz for the 5 and 7M respectively and we would be on a far cosier financial position on top of the investment that Venky's put in. No idea who this USA guy is. Young has a bag of goal could be interesting. I would like to see us sign Isaac Hayden, and ideally Callum O Hare who is at the end of his contract but no idea if it is at all posible. 

Unfortunately the team has no confidence in the keeper, I actually think part of the problem is Carter who hasn't progressed much this season in my eyes. I think we need to play Wharton ahead of Carter with Hyam. Additionally the team just needs a clear out too many passengers. I would rather quality over quantity. 

The likes of, Markanday, Pears, Gallagher, Hedges, Carter, Ennis, are not going to cut it in my eyes. Letting Travis go is mind boggling, shame Buckley isn't available he would have been useful. Cut ties invest invest invest. This squad is down to the bare bones. 

Need a bit of a clear out in my eyes. 

Sale: Hedges, Markanday, Pears, Jordan Eastham. 

Loan: Gamble

Sign: Gk, Winger, Winger, Striker, LB 

Develop the young blood and stay in the division is the only goal of the season to which JDT is following suit. We desperately lack additional legs and our players need help. Tired players very tired. Let Telalovic out on Loan Ennis as a back up. Bring in a striker. Carter to be honest i never quite got he hype would rather Wharton or Hill there. Wingers we need to get rid of all of them bar Arnor Siggy

Bit harsh some of comments Semir I don’t think he has been awful Just needs time people are always hit or kisses from the get go. Sammie is a good one to remember. I remember fans writing him off last season that Dack should be starting ahead. Those same fans are now cheering his goals 🤣

Random question is it me or does JDT look more relaxed playing with no expectations? 

I do like James Hill I can hear him barking a mile away 

Frustrated…there is a basis of a good team there but you can’t keep cutting and changing and expect to perform. The warning sides were there when Waggot said consolidate and stay in the league. There is absolutely no long term planning at this club.

I feel for JDT he deserves way more than what he is getting. The young players deserve support we have some talent there in the likes of Wharton. We will get better I believe as the young talent learn. I understand as well owners can have finance issues, but Venkys have always been short term and reactive rather than pro active. The fault lies with Waggot, Pasha, Gregg, Venkys. They are the decision makers and they are the ones who should have done better. Let’s not forget the money from Rothwell and Diaz we could have got! We would kill

for that today

Was at the game at the weekend and i actually think we have a decent defense just our midfield goes absent in a big way. Wharton to me provides nothing defensively. He just seems to jog about, while I would like to see him get more stuck in. Pears needs to be dropped to cup keeper. I think when he is on it, he is a decent keeper, but you just know he has an error in him. I would rather try Leo. I think the formation needs to change as well. A 4 3 3 would be interesting. 

With

JRC Wharton Travis 

Sammie Leonard Arnor 

I think it would add a little more protection to the defense

Hi Rovers! Heading to the Leicester Game and would like to offer 2 adult tickets and 2 children prior to my order for a family who may be struggling to go to games. Could someone help me find someone they may know. E-mail Rovers trust prior to season tickets but never got an answer. I documented my experience with the club. So just a small gesture for just my second trip to Ewood Park in 30 years!

Up to date list of players which I don’t think are currently good enough and/or have questions about: 

Pears

S. Wharton

Pickering

Tronstad 

Moran

Hedges

Gallagher

Dolan

Leonard

Bloxham 

Garrett

Gamble

Gilsnan

Sigurdsson

Ennis

Hill

Telalovic

That’s our issue. 

Quite harsh Telalovic not player, Sigurdsson neither, Ennis has actually been alright, Hill as targetted by Barcelona, Leonard barely started yet, Pickering very dependable left back. 

I agree that Pears, Hedges, Dolan, S.Wharton, Gallagher, the rest way too early to say...

You can't win every match reality is: 

JRC, Hill, Telalovic, Ennis, Sigurdsson all out and Hyam small injury. 

Shame to lose against a team we should beat, but it has happened before and it will happen again. On to the next one! 

Bemusing to me people who say Pears has out performed or form doesn't count for anything. Pears has been an improvement on his own performances previously. He isn't anywhere near TK level at all. The only reason why I would potentially keep Pears in goal is that i would rather have an average keeper and invest in other parts of the pitch. 

Sale Wharton for 15m or so i will be happy get the cash for Raya if he is sold as well. I would actually sale either Kaminski or Pears I like both and don't mind who is in Goal

We look exhausted 

After all the negativity and everything current mood is this to all the negativity 🤣

Wow wow wow what a game I must be into S and M as being a fan who mostly attends away games and not home games I get use to seeing Rovers lose a lot over the years.

it is a strange as when I look at our squad it really looks average but something is clicking and I can’t quite guess what. Whether it is JDT or not but he may be the reason. QPR I think I have only seen us win once in numerous years, but apart from a nervy 20 minutes i was actually incredibly relaxed. Great goals Trav is back, Bucko is getting there but still needs to step up for me he gave away the ball at silly times or got out muscled.
JDT said he expected us to improve after the World Cup and to his credit we have. Agreed on the the football being dire and agreed it can be frustrating. But those who want him gone must clearly be delusional at this point. 
4th in the league with the squad we have while developing assets. We can talk about Pears Carter JRC emergence, we are slowly building towards something quite interesting. I am not a JdT fan boy either but I give credit for the fact we are where we are. If we stay in the play off then wow give this man some more money in the transfer window and let him put his mark on this club

But we wouldn't want to would we? Are we bringing up these good young players for someone else?

I think the reality is not everyone stays in the first team forever Philips i imagine is expected to over take Carter in the future so if we have so much talent in one position we would need to sale one off that is not needed anymore. I don't remember a time in Rovers sake when we have been able to develop a core squad and now i feel rather than quantity we can just add that little touch of quality that is missing in the team. Even when Diaz goes, I am optimistic enough to think that we have decent wingers if we can add a quality striker and another midfielder we are in a good position. 

Well credit where credit is due. It is incredibly frustrating watching JDT team at times. The one thing i did think to myself is i would much rather have him with us than twist with someone else. The difference between JDT and Mowbray is from a squad perspective i really feel like the whole club is being utilised and that will add value to the squad. Just when you look at Carter we can now get a decent fee for him, Pears the last few matches should hopefully allow us to get a decent as well, we can now afford to lose Ayala in the summer with Hyam, Carter, Wharton, Philips. JRC has risen back up from the dead to add value, Jack Vale even if it is 100 or 300k it is still a fee that we are getting for players who are playing which prior to that we have seen Mowbray stick to the player who knew and like without always looking to add value. We have to remember this squad is playing without a striker and we are still in it by some miracle no idea how else.

Strange comment.

Given what you say and that we find ourselves miraculously in 4th, surely the fan base can expect at least 3 players to replace the 10 wages off the bill....🤷‍♂️

Did we not spend in the summer? Have not 3 transfer collapse in recent days? Are we right to be frustrated hell yes. You can have all the best plans in the world and sometimes just sometimes it doesn't work out do we need to consistently blame and point a finger? 

I don't understand what people expect the expectation seems to far out of reach reading some of the comment on here. Note that pretty much without a striker and losing 10 players in the summer and some how we are in the top 6. We signed a decent winger Yes we are missing additional players. Putting the blame of things on JDT and Broughton consistently is a broken record. I have more time to give blaming Waggot on everything he does wrong over JDT and Broughton.

Why do Troyes want him out if as you say he's so highly rated there? Has there been a fall out?

The manager been changed messed it all up and changed the system to not suit him so doesn’t start as regularly 

Thought I would add since the new manager has come the team has been awful and that counts for 8 or 9 matches prior to that he did well last season
