Oh FFS that’s really dampened my mood 

You don’t need 3 centre backs at home to Coventry City, you don’t need 3 Centre backs at home to the 70s Brazil team (ok maybe 4!) 

Reckon I’m going to accept the £1250 Cash out offer now on SkyBet. Getting well too risky with his current form and chance of being sold in a January!

I guess it depends entirely on his personal situation, but I'm taking that. He'd be gutted if he ended up moving in January, getting injured or reverting to his previous scoring form.

How often do Rovers have a 20 league goal a season striker? Armstrong, Rhodes, Gestede, Jansen....then are we at Shearer?

I’m not desperate for the money so think I’m still going to let it ride.

I’ve looked at the fixtures and there’s 14 games before the January transfer window (13 if he misses the Coventry game). If Big Ben continues to score then the cash out will surely rise over time. A bad injury is the only thing that will jeopardise it, which of course can always happen. I think it’s worth the risk though and will give watching the games that extra bit of spice screaming on our Chilean hero reaching that 20 goal mark!

Probably realising they dropped an almighty clanger with that one! At the moment it seems like the only way Diaz won't hit the 20 goal mark is if he picks up an injury which keeps him out for a couple of months. I'm assuming in the event we sold him in January the bet would also be voided? It seems unlikely that it would happen, but if BBD's agent makes it clear a new contract won't be signed - even if the one-year extenstion is triggered - there may be a temptation at the club to cash out whilst his value is potentially at its peak. 

Yeah totally agree, it’s tempting but surely he’s going to hit the 20 mark. If he goes on a run of say no goals in 8 may start to get worried, but everything he seems to touch at the moment turns to gold. 

They are offering cash outs on the Brereton Diaz bet! I’ve got a fiver on at 500/1, tempting but think I’m going to let it roll.

We really do need to keep hold of Rothwell, he’s the main man!

If he plays Buckley as number 9 and Gallagher on the wing I’m going to jump out the window 

The comments section on Facebook to this letter are making me physically sick! (I know it’s my own fault for reading them). The worrying factor is as well the majority are genuinely made up by the presence of it.

Their complete and total lack of football knowledge had me worried right from the off.   Competing at the very top on an input of £5 million. That told me all I needed to know. Once they’d sacked Big Sam I really feared the worst. 
 

What amazes me if that after 10 years they haven’t learnt a thing. I started getting interested in football when I was 10 years old and by time I was 20 I was pretty knowledgeable about the game, certainly at Rovers level.

That £5 million statement from the Venkys was a breaking news headline on Sky Sports News! as soon as I read it I knew we were in big trouble 

Was waiting for confirmation of squad numbers and now all the shirts have sold out! Perfect 😂 

Has it been confirmed yet if Brereton-Diaz will be on the back of Big Ben’s shirt?

Ayala injured already??? 😂 

This commentator sounds like a barrel of laughs lol

Why does that article start randomly talking about Lewandowski? 

Was just thinking that, proper random

Didn't Roy have us top of the premier league at Christmas before eventually finishing 7th?. Positions we can only dream of in the championship these days.

I’ve got that season on VHS. Started like a house on fire but ended shockingly with Alan Fettis in the sticks! took the awful form into the next season and got relegated.

On the Macron website 

Rovers 14/1 for Lampard’s next destination... random 

Is this the same guy that said Mowbray would be sacked weeks ago?

Probably going to watch the Derby vs Wednesday match!

Is the game not being shown on iFollow for international viewers?

Only have audio option on mine.

Honestly it’s an absolute joke. Too many games don’t get shown and there’s very little information or notification about what games won’t be shown. What am I paying my money for? I’m likely not renewing next season just because of that.

I read that the game has been selected for overseas TV so not available for IFollow outside UK. Did they still allow you to pay? that is poor form if so!

I'm hoping he can't take the Preston job because of his Rovers background and he would personally feel traitorous if he did.

If he came to Rovers I'm sure he would leave the Chairboys with best wishes and no hard feelings, which again would do no harm to his reputation.

He played for Preston though didn’t he. I have a feeling he will be there next season.

Tony will be milking this one for years!

I’ve changed my mind, Bell you’re bloody useless!
