Just checking you know it's on Wednesday and not at the weekend !

What chance we end up with a Leeds player on loan after Mowbray asks Bielsa who is avaialble?

Rovers in a play off final and the lateral flow test says positive 7 days before. Hmmm. (yes i know it's unrealistic us being there)

Basically Hogwarts don't invest in a proper defence and instead over-promote the kids from the youth academy. Doesn't really work and all goes to rat shit. The top guy eventually loses his job (permanently) because of it.

We should be trying to assemble a squad capable of promotion. Reading the last few pages it sounds like we are simply trying to assemble a squad.

Lets hope he's better at recruiting players than Waggot is at recruiting fans.

Just started looking into this over the weekend as I'd not worried about next season until after the Euros. I miss more than half of the midweek games due to work, and the other midweek games are a pain to get to as I have to finish work early and rush around to get home and down for kick off. A "Saturday' season ticket would be ideal for me and I suspect many others, but the club wouldn't entertain it as they would presume it would kill the mid-week attendances. Therefore, under the current climate, it might be time for me to switch and become a match-by-match punter. Then you look at the prices and see they expect people to be paying £32 and £36 as the cheapest tickets for a significant number of games (all of the Cat A and Cat A+ will probably be weekend) and realise that match by match is not going to be cost effective at all. So now I won't be attending most weekends either and will pick maybe a few big weekend games. The pricing policy doesn't work. It just pushes away those who aren't obsessive enough to buy a season ticket regardless. And £400 for a season ticket isn't enticing enough for me to take the plunge.

If we want to get promoted we need to keep Armstrong and get rid of Mowbray. If we want to get relegated we need to sell Armstrong and keep Mowbray. If we want to have mid table mediocrity we need to keep Mowbray and keep Armstrong, just like we did last season. That's basically what has been posted. Which part doesn't make sense?

Read the post that I quoted and then my post again. Then look at last seasons final league table.

If you want bottom half mediocrity keep both.

Tomorrow

That's a very good listen although when you get to the manner of his departure it will still boil your blood again.

Have you been to the Birthday Party yet?

I played it in VR at my mates, but fortunately only had the option of playing it through in flat at home !

I found it started off good and then gets a bit repetitive, then the story really picks back up again about half way through. Stick at it. It is. It must take hours and hours longer to complete in VR as you find yourself just creeping around every corner.

He's wrote a separate message to the fans.

There's a lot of scepticism on here about stats cos they are used to justify the performances we have seen (by Mowbray and some Twiterati, not by you). However if a bricklayer does a job and the end result is clearly shite, you tell him it's shite and he starts telling you why his methods are better, it doesn't matter. Ultimately the job he has done is shite. That's what's happening at Ewood. And therefore the methods are are not trusted, even though it's the bricklayers fault.

Unlikely, but What would happen if Lingard banged in a hatrick here. It would just make Southgate look an idiot.

He first came to my attention in the Sunderland documentary where he missed a lot of chances. I've watched him since whenever I've seen him and he has a good attitude but isn't very good and doesn't score with regularity . I'd be passing that one over.

That's half the problem. We don't have a go-to midfield paring. Players never play enough games consecutively together to form an opinion on whether that partnership actually does work. They seem to get rotated based on who the opposition is. Unless the manager is a tactical genius, such tombola-ism isn't going to be beneficial to the team.

Exactly. I watched almost every game last season and we regressed. Tony tries to convince us that our football progression is further on than it was a few years ago, but as far as enjoyment of watching Rovers go I preferred the League One and first season back performances, where we actually got the ball in the box and caused some excitement. We've boosted our performance stats in areas which might look good on paper, but we are going backward in terms of results and excitement. And no stat on earth will tell me Gallagher should be on the wing.

Gerrard has done a cracking job there, not just to get them back on top but to win the league by such a large amount and break the 100-point barrier. Their record in Europe this season is also impressive.

I remember a few legia fans with their kids being in the Fox before the game having their pics taken with Rovers fans and Rovers scarves. I remember the actual games as being pretty low-key surprisingly.
