2 matches in and we’ve been poor in the build up, squandered most of our chances, have been disorganized through the midfield, and outside of the high pressure against Swans, poor defensively. Provided Millwall don’t pass it to us in their third 15-20 times I don’t see us coming away with anything. 1-3 Millwall with Diaz getting our loan goal.

Armstrong only scored 9 league goals in league one (Graham 14).

Maybe we should hire a gaffer who used to play in back to help us sure up the line.

Wish I was surprised by the outcome but I’m not. On the weekend we squandered 90% of our chances and did fuck all with the ball in possession. If we didn’t win it up front we had nothing to show, so naturally playing a side that wasn’t going to Dick around in back and give us 15 chances to score 2 we were going to struggle. league one here we come.

This made me laugh. How rovers could line up Not a mention of him playing out of position…probably right back I’d guess

I agree we need the money, but if we sold for 15M and 5.3 of that went to Newcastle and then we put 6 into Obafemi, what did we net from the it all? Less than 2 million and we lost our top scorer?

I assume if we buy Obafemi for less than 5 million we'll have also given up a 40% sell on

Maybe someone who is better at math than I am can help me figure this out. We reportedly have agreed to sell Armstrong from 15 million. We had paid 1.75 for him. That's a profit of 13,25, of which 40% is due to the Toons. So we net 7.95 but are going to turn around an buy Obefemi for 6 million. Does 1.75 million do anything to help our books? I'm not sure the point of sell Armstrong if all we net is 1.75 million quid. Surely that exchange doesn't help the books or make us a better side.

What did we pay for SG? A “few quid”…just pay the asking price if you want a player right?

I read his comments this morning and was shocked. They were total rubbish and his insistence on playing out of the back should have seen them concede 4 or 5. The first 20 min they had 70% possession but hadn’t gotten within 10 yards of the half way line. When they did beat the press they looked much more dangerous, but they spent as much time creating chances for us than getting forward. We also failed to create anything from our possession. Every opportunity we had came from winning it high up the pitch. We were not very clinical in the finish and quite poor in possession. Dolan provided no outlet when we won the ball in our half. Our only attack was our pressure. Not a tactic that will work every week, unless we can run against teams as poor as the Swans were

Shocking really that Martin continued to have his side try and play it out of the back in the 2nd half. That tactic was always more likely to create chances for us than them. Should have just hoofed it long to beat the press.

Or play it square. Not sure why you lift the ball if he’s trying to play bbd in

3 points is a great start! We have to be more clinical with the final output. Should have had 5 or 6 today. The ref was total shite too.

And if we don’t win it high up the pitch we don’t look to be able to connect to work it forward.

If we don’t win it high up the pitch we look disorganized in the middle. Much to easy once they break the press.

Excellent press by Dolan. Swans making a real mess in the back

Good first half. Excellent on the press, but have squandered too many chance. Should be 3 or 4. Dolan and Buckley have been dynamite pressing but both have been poor in giving us an outlet from the back. SG looked a donkey the first 10. Need to do better with the opportunities Swans are giving us.

1. Yes 2. if the run last season didn’t get him sacked, what will? I guy could probably be a pedo and he’d still be in charge 3. I think a bold prediction is Davenport will stay healthy and take control of the midfield 4. bottom 5, maybe bottom 3 5.Sheffield United- Brewster bags 25+

Fantasy little run and cut back by BB there. The rest of the Chileans acting like SG unable to anticipate play

Wouldn't Newcastle be entitled to 40%...so his left peg and right arm?

What sort of clown show are we running here? Somehow we "thought" we had a club option on Chapman for next term, but it turns out we don't? We don't even know the terms of our own players f'n contracts! It must be a metal ward up there. The whole lot need to go. Tony Mowbray had suggested Rovers had an option in the deal that brought Chapman to Ewood Park in January 2019 that would be triggered to ensure he was under contract until at least 2022 but he has learned there was no such option for the club to trigger in the deal of Chapman.

Last game will feel like Christmas Eve. Only instead of getting a gift I’m hoping to wake up the next morning to someone gone.

If it doubles the chance TM gets his walking papers...all for that
