DE.

Typical Rovers would be for us to get a decent result against Brentford then go and lose to Stoke and Swansea. If we come out of those three games with a good points haul then I think we can have genuine belief that something might have changed. It would be an incredible turnaround considering our injuries.

Problem is if Woodgate is struggling with the current squad, you wonder how he'd cope next season with the better players in the squad potentially sold and in need of replacing. He'd need a very good transfer window to realistically progress. They might need somebody more experienced to deal with that.

Noticed quite loud boos at the final whistle on the Quest highlights. If Boro have any ambition they need to accept Woodgate was a mistake and move on. I do wonder if Mowbray would interest them if we finish this season in good form.

It's a ridiculous division. Also shows on the flip side you can't write any game off though or use "we couldn't expect to win that one" as an excuse. Anyone can beat anyone in this league, possibly more so than in any other season I can think of tbh. I don't think there are any standout teams in the Championship who should be feared.

13/14 season. We finished 8th on 70 points, two points off 6th. W18 D16 L12. Scored 70 Conceded 62, +8 GD.

Tosin has all the technical attributes to be a top player, but his decision making isn't quite there yet which is basically why he's on loan with us. He can play some beautiful passes from the back, but alternatively he can play terrible passes which put us in danger. His tackling is sometimes spot on, other times not. Same with heading and marking. He's a work-in-progress, but if he can improve his decision making and focus he will be a top player.

Fulham fans not too impressed with Scott Parker... https://www.friendsoffulham.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=75pbgimcf9q05p44u1f1v00hd4&topic=74641.0

Dom looked okay when he played during our L1 season but nothing special - although he was almost always on the wing so much like Gallagher hard to judge as that clearly isn't his position. He's got a platform to build on now so let's hope he continues in this vein. Precisely why we shouldn't be looking to PL clubs for signings imo. Hopefully the European scouting network gets going in the summer as we'll get far better value abroad.

The FFVII Remake opening has been released: As expected the graphics look incredible. Interesting to compare to the PS3 technical demo from the mid-2000s: And let's throw in the OG intro for the nostalgia feels:

Which is ridiculous considering the gap in fee and wage between the two.

Ipswich have nowhere near the squad we had tbf. Not a single player who could hold a candle to the likes of Mulgrew, Dack, Graham, Nyambe, Raya, Lenihan, etc. We had a squad that shouldn't even have gone down from the Championship let alone been in League 1. Ipswich totally bombed out of the Championship and are arguably at their level with their current squad. With that said a decent manager would definitely get them out of that division. Lambert with a lot to do in the next few months if he wants to be managing in the Championship again next season.

Lambo's horror run at Ipswich comes to an end with a 4-1 smashing of Burton Albion. Other results didn't go their way today though so still 7th and outside of the playoffs.

Well done Rovers. Another clean sheet, a solid result and by the looks of the stats a solid game all around. Couldn't ask for much more than that. We're once again in the kind of territory that historically leads to collapse, within reach of the playoffs, so let's see if we can push on this time. A lot of surprise results today with Brentford being held by Birmingham, Fulham beaten 3-0 at home by Barnsley (wtf?), Boro beaten by Luton at home Preston beaten by Millwall at home, and Reading beating Sheff Weds 3-0 away. Not a good day to play at home in this crazy league.

Like most teams in this league they are just very inconsistent. Hard to find a genuinely consistent team in this division. WBA are the closest thing to it and even they have conceded 34 this season, more than anybody in the top five.

Judging Maddison on a single game was pretty silly tbh. Armstrong had a number of stinkers at the beginning of the season, but look at him now - and he has a lot more Championship experience than Maddison. I don't think our decision to avoid him has anything to do with his talent. His personality just doesn't fit the profile that Mowbray desires.

Yep, I remember watching us play Newcastle around Christmas time that season and being so depressed at how utterly poor we looked. Then Mulgrew scored a free kick and we scabbed a completely undeserved win. In fact it was this match: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38433053

Not as long as Venky's are around.

I wouldn't be unhappy with signing Walton as a competitive no2, but I think we can do a lot better for the no1 spot. A good no1 with Walton as no2 would be decent enough, although whether Walton would realistically sign as our no2 is another question entirely.

In fairness we played pretty well against various PL teams in the cup under GB, but were still underwhelming in the league. Easy to get motivated for a one off game against a big team, much harder to do so for the mundane grind of the league.

4 wins in 20 games for Ipswich now I believe, so yeah, Lambo not exactly endearing himself to the Ipswich faithful. Say what you will about Mowbray but after a shaky start he had no problem getting us straight out of League 1, and I think it was tougher then than it is now.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18228187.it-wasnt-happening---mowbray-game-changing-double-switch/ For once comments from the manager I pretty much completely agree with (although I would have liked to know the logic behind starting Downing and Bennett on their opposite sides). Even praise for Rothwell in there!

Wouldn't surprise me if he walked before the season ends if this form continues tbh, especially if they're in danger of dropping out of the top six entirely. From the position they were in it's truly remarkable.

The main thing that pleased me from tonight's result is that we actually picked up a win after a couple of disappointing results. I have to admit after 70 minutes I was fearful we were about to enter another death spiral, as failing to beat this Hull team at home would have been a really bad psychological blow. Coming away with a win helps break this vicious cycle we've been in of going on losing/drawing runs after a good run of form, and hopefully it's a good omen for the future at least.

In fairness he's usually played on the wing so that might be Tony's influence.

Not for long. At this point it's a matter of time before they fall out of the automatic spots. They seem to have mentally collapsed just like last season, and it'll be doubly psychologically damaging knowing it's happening for a second year in a row. At this rate they could genuinely fall out of the top six entirely, which would be hilarious. I imagine if they fail to go up again this season Bielsa will be gone as two implosions in consecutive seasons is surely unacceptable.
