Their behaviour before and during the Copa Del Rey on Saturday night was appalling

I think Travis, Tronstad, Brittain and Hyam will be on closer to £40k combined than £25k

Unfortunately for JRC he has now spent longer at Rovers looking like the player who was an injury crisis away from being released than the 18 game purple patch playing in a modified 3-4-3 under JDT. The performance against Blackpool this year killed him

I think they will rest a few, been a long old season and Wilder is a smart cookie, he'll rest a few and play a few to make sure everyone goes into play offs having a good spread of minutes so they're all sharp. So if we turn up we could beat them, however if we don't we'll get dogwalked like we did at Ewood, there really was a chasm earlier in the season. In fact based on that game I was fairly confident Sheff Utd would win it as they had numerous ways of playing unlike the Dingles and Leeds. I've been fairly surprised by their drop off, that said they've struggled against other 'top teams'. Really is a crap league this year, making our December to April collapse all the more frustrating.

Yeah odds checker giving 11/2 and 7/2 on us, PNE so £280ish profit on a tenner. Worth a swing

Rovers in the play offs and PNE relegated is a cracking double, defo worth a tenner if I can get decent odds

I fully expect them to comment in the FF minutes that sales have been “healthy and in-line with previous years sales at this stage” given the fact none of them could lay straight in bed I’m not expecting their come out and say “well we’ve properly fucked it lads, only sold 1200 and it’s looking bleak”

Brittain must have a knock surely or have reported he was tight at half time and they were giving it 15 to see how it goes

All the schools in Lancaster used to get free tickets on a rota basis once upon a time, the impact being we had our own supporters branch and coach running each week. I can pretty much name each of the Rovers fans locally these days!

Received an email saying phase 1 coming to and end soon, stinks of desperation

I think the communication line is absolute bollocks. Like any private company I don’t expect to be consulted on every decision. What I do expect though is that competent people are employed to carry out the requisite tasks in running a football club. I can then concentrate on the primary purpose of a football club, what happens on the pitch. The 2 are inextricably linked, however we’ll run clubs don’t need to communicate much.

the Belgian league is becoming very well known as a feeder league to the premier. Recent stats showed it being secondly only to the PL in physical distances, duels, etc so makes it a perfect hunting ground for athletic players who can deal with the number of games in championship. Due to this there is a premium being added to JPL players, Anderlecht brought in over 20 million euros from 4 sales, Genk did just shy of 100 million this summer, Antwerp 60 mill, Gent 50 mill. I'm sorry but we're picking from the lower end of the JPL and for that you get Gueye, who whilst has improved from the start of the season isn't what you'd call a prolific.

It would be funny if it wasn’t heartbreaking

I fail to see what Cantwell has done to earn a start. He’s been atrocious for ages and is one of the least commuted players I’ve seen in a Rovers shirt since Bradley Orr.

Unnecessary
