So the rumor about the Venky overlords stopping any permanent transfers or fees is correct? 22m into the black hole it seems. As many of us predicted, we likely wont see any of it spent on transfers.

Not necessarily against that, if he is crap we don't need to buy. If he isn't, we can.

Ambition…. Develop and sell players: tick Stay in the league: likely tick (this year) Probably a nice bonus for Waggott. Thats our lot folks.

Very fair

Hard work being a Rovers fan at the moment.

Siggurdson on for Crisene please. Worrying lack of urgency across the board.

Amidst the (totally reasonable) misery and gloom connected to the total s show at Rovers currently.......was reflecting on at least one good decision from GB - to let Dack go. Saw an article saying he is injured again. A real shame how is career is fizzling out.

I always had the impression Davenport thought he was better than he was - record since Rovers would corroborate. Managed 25 appearances total in league 2 for Stockport and Morecambe....

Fear a bit of a pasting in this one. Jed Wallace and Swift back for them. Team is somehow lighter than it was pre window. Will be interesting to see if Pears gets the GK spot back.

Kaminski Lenihan Tosin Van Hecke Givet Cairney Reed Brereton Dack Elliott Armstrong Trying to pick a right back was fun. We have had some dross there in 10 years. Opted for lenihan.

we can but dream

Plus Brereton in the summer

The Beadle rumor is rubbish I imagine. However......Imagine a scenario a few years ago when we got shut of (then a shocking) Jason Steele and someone told you we would be trying to loan a keeper who is 3/4th choice behind him. Sign of the change in stature and fall from the top table.

Well, this is all pretty desperate. I imagine JDT has nothing to do with this, otherwise he looks a bit of a hypocrite bemoaning a lack of experience. This has to be a purely financial decision. The situation at the moment is untenable and something has to give. We cannot survive if the 'keeping the lights on' money has to be approved every quarter by a court in India. Ultimately, as I have said for a long time, Venkys simply don't care. We are but a drop in their ocean. Purgatory.

How bloody good is Sam Szmodics. Top scorer in the championship at a canter. Quite marvellous, yet under the radar

There’s stretched then there’s us currently. Pickering now injured. Any guesses on the back 4?

RIP Birdy

No shame in our result last week when you consider this is basically the same Chelsea team. Feeling proud of the lads that played.

Hindsight is wonderful and I am sure there would have been many complaining if we did sell him at the time......but that rumored £10m would have been handy!

Great save

2 lovely goals, we are excellent on the counter attack. Scott Wharton is a concern - looks a shadow of the player he was a season or so ago. Positioning all over the place. Moran and Dolan playing well. Hill excellent as per. Szmodics looks shattered.

JDT wasn’t wrong when he said we are where we are in the table based on the squad. It’s threadbare. Cut (remove….) budgets, cut aspirations. Trouble looms. Just so sad after last year and all the momentum and positivity.

Just seen the replay of that second crossbar chance for them - great save by Leo

Hill in midfield?

I’m living 10 mins from Chelsea so delighted with that. Fancy us in this one with JDT ball. Chelsea can’t score.
