A part of me wants it to happen sooner, rather than have it hanging over our heads

Urgent email from White Star Line: Make sure the deckchairs are all in line...

Give me one good Rovers related reason lol

Sorry. I feel nothing. Another distraction. In the current Rovers context, I couldn't care less about this, all the community awards or the F.A. lemon drizzle cake of the month. Venky's, managed decline and yet another red herring. Bread and circuses...FOV!

1960 Cup Final 2010 Venky's

So why has this problem been routinely ignored? Apart from the obvious answer of Venky's, I just don't get it.

Careful! I know of a former poster, whose Twitter fingers will fork lightning on the keyboards...

A similar thing happened in 1969-70. I think we were 2nd in the table, when we sold Keith Newton in December. Following that, we slumped to 11 league defeats, including some thrashings too.-Sound familiar? Bingo..guess what happened the following season!

Already, before the end of March, we have conceded only 3 goals less than the relegation season. I bet we beat that record too. Too many of those defenders are still here!

But the extremely negative feeling around recent performances isn't much of a sales platform....

I am also grateful to the burglars for leaving the carpets!

The repeated pattern is what worries me. Twice previously, in 2011 and 2016, when the team had scraped survival, they recouped money and recruited cheap, leading to relegation the following season. The summer will say so much.

In the euphoria, so did I. Bloody ridiculous.! He was dog**** last year too.

I think you are barking up the wrong tree..

I remember reading an article in one of the national papers, when King had had a really good game for Norway against England. This was long before his FA cup exploits against Stoke. The journo was questioning how a player that good was unable to get into Bowyer's team. I think it was the beginning of Bowyer's last season. I noted it because (in my armchair wisdom) I had formed the opinion that he was a headless chicken. Was he just being played out of position to accommodate Rhodes?

Twice too...for us!

Surely, there can't be any doubt about that outcome. That kind of damage can last for a generation.

Are you Derek Bentley lol?

Just a thought...I haven't checked that stats, but my feeling is that Raya will be the fourth goalkeeper, who has gone from good/OK with a great future to absolute crap, in the longstanding context of soft centred, poor defending?

Haha I misread that...I thought it said "how few goals we conceded during half time"..Come back Mr Kean, all is...naah

More sense from the dancing bear!

The club has had a long time to fix this glaring, long term defence problem. No excuse.I am embarrassed.

And in midfield. This is a ***** joke!

Then Tony goes to the Telegraph and turns into Edith Piaf!

The future.... is Division 1 at this rate. Big changes required
