In theory it's designed to reward the team finishing 3rd by pairing them up with the weakest team, but it can often end up pairing them with the form team.

3rd v 6th 4th v 5th So 5th place plays Sunderland. 6th place plays Sheffield United.

96th minute winner scored by their keeper handballing it again.

Well just a few weeks ago it looked like Preston might finish above us There's a small chance we could be promoted and they get relegated now. What a division.

I think that puts Ismael on 11 points from 10 games. Not great, but worth remembering Eustace managed 7 from his first 10 and didn't win a single one.

That could have been Ismael himself posting that.

What time do Rovers kick off tomorrow? 3:00 3:04 3:08

The form table for the last 20 games puts us bottom.

We all know how this will go? We will intend to sack him on the 25th May but someone will mess up the paperwork and it'll go through on the 26th. We will end up having to pay a huge compensation fee due to incompetence again 😂

I absolutely can't stand Gestede. Some of the smug faces he pulls when he's interviewed really wind me up. He comes across as cocky and arrogant and I'm still not sure exactly what he does.

That's amazing

People wonder why they don't communicate much via the media... It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt

Well I'm bored at work, so put this together comparing our record over the last 6 years - first 23 games versus second 23 games. Win percentage in the first 23 games is 47.1% versus 26.7% in second half of the season. This absolutely shows how we fuck up every January. If there was ever an argument supporting investment in January, it's right here.

Give him a call. I've got his number 😂

Beyond our budget

I don't think it's fair to put 'price/won't be able to go to enough games' in the same category. I would fall into this due to the fact that I often don't have free weekends or can't respond to moved fixtures. That's not the clubs fault on pricing though. So I've not voted.

Isn't Urwin ex-Rovers as well?

I was going to say exactly this. Eustace's early interviews in particular were painful to watch. They were almost a carbon copy of each other every week when we failed to win again. "Togetherness".

Safe standing in the pub

Ismael's banner on Linkedin suggests "I never lose. I either win or I learn. Won 0 Drawn 1 Learned 3 Technically undefeated

I'm not sure Cantwell is the kind to respond well to that sort of thing, but time will tell

Rochdale will be the 6th club he's been at in under 4 years. Maybe Rovers aren't the issue with this one?

Wow
