Way too early to comment. I’ll see what the summer brings as to whether I’m feeling positive or apprehensive. Hopefully GB and the others can make up for shafting us in Jan and recruit well.

Graham Potter (finished 10th at Swansea) Luton we’re only 9th when Nathan Jones left for Southampton this season.

Carvalhal was in the bottom half when he went to Swansea.

Fat Frank finished 6th and got the Chelsea gig !!! Dean Smith finished 9th and got the Villa job.

Yes. I reckon if we were in for them other decent Championship teams would be as well as they are higher profile then who we usually go for. One is now a Scotland regular, and the other who was quite highly touted as a youngster has just had his best scoring season. Who do you think we have signed in the last few years who have been higher profile than these two?

But is that squad capable of getting more points from the last 11 games than we ultimately did. I’d say yes. People are clearly reacting to the situation we found ourselves. Agree with your last sentence. With a bit of not-unrealistic ambition I’d be excited to see if we could dominate the ball but carry a genuine goal threat. Then we’d be dangerous. But, as I’ve just said to Chaddy, I think us getting targets such as Nisbett and Maja where there is genuine competition for their signature is unlikely.

Id be delighted if we brought either of those in. I find it very unlikely as they are far higher-profile than any signing we have managed for a while.

It shows how even a league this has been when had Reading not had the points deduction, Cardiff would have gone down on 49 points. That’s pretty high. Not quite the 51 we went down with but surely the highest it has been since.

Yeah to be fair I have paraphrased it a bit. I’d still rather he sold the dream than say how to be in with a chance on the last day is a great achievement. It might have been from when he walked in the door, but from where we found ourselves at the end of Feb it comes across as absolving blame. Of course that blame is predominantly elsewhere, with JDT only having to shoulder a small portion of it, but IMO it is said to mask what a calamity the last 10 results have proven to be.

Seems like it. When he talks about how great an achievement it is for little Rovers to still be in contention on the last day, he’s not talking to the supporters and I certainly hope he’s not talking to players. He’s building up how good a job he has done to outsiders IMO.

Well we have beaten Sunderland and drawn with Boro on aggregate this season. And also turned in some of our best performances in one off knockout matches. So had we got in you really don’t know. Whats also annoying is the points dropped to shite like Wigan, Reading, Birmingham, And Rotherham..

It’s taken less than 70 points to get in the play offs this year. That’s rare. This has been one of the most even championships we’ve seen for a while.

Everton winning. Not a great day.

Rovers equalising in injury time away at Cardiff, only for the ref to disallow it to give us a penalty and Hirst missing.

Also, Coventry finishes 1 point above of us having gained a three point swing because of that handball. 🤮

When you watch that second half, you start to wish maybe we had pushed JRC further forward as soon as Brittain was available again. Our goal threat massively increases when he’s in the final third. He’s far more effective than Thomas or Hedges have been.

I think Luton will get past Sunderland

Good luck to the 2000 Rovers fans leaving the Den shortly. 🤪

Sunderland 3-0

Ah bollocks. West Brom 2-1

We’ve got 25 minutes to get another, then we can chuck the kitchen sink at this.

Thanks Gregg. Great job in January. Cheers pal.

Don’t forget season ticket prices go up after this, so if your enjoying this make sure you sign up for another full season of it.

Swansea equalise.
