You're joking!?

I've pulled these figures from around the internet so no idea how accurate they are, but gives a ball park kind of idea as to what we may be investing in the playing squad with regards to transfer fee's.. I've not put loans on, I'm sure there's been fee's involved there but god knows what. Just interested in permanent transfers.. We've sold: Wharton, Szmodics, Phillips, Raya, Gallagher in recent years.. I think we're really bloody lucky to be where we are given what's been reinvested.. Pears (Undisclosed, but must have neglible) Brittain (1m) Hyam (1.5m) Carter (0) Batth (0) Wharton (0) Pickering (650k) Travis (0) Trondstadt (0) JRC (0) Buckley (0) Dolan (0) Hedges (0) Kargbo (700k) Gueye (1.8m) Weimann (0) Ohashi (900k)

I don't think the recruitment has been that bad- relative to our budget.. Gueye looks a real player now..

Steele is the worst keeper I've ever seen in a Rovers shirt. Abysmal. Still is in my opinion. Hardly covered himself in glory at Sunderland either...

Been telling my lad about a goal Emerton scored- dribbled from his own half for Feyernoord, sure it was in Europe against a good side.. However, I can't find evidence of this anywhere, I'm absolutely certain this happened. Can someone find the video for me or at least confirm I've not slipped into an alternate reality (Mandela effect).

Rice was played in the wrong position for England.. Best utilised as a proper cm in my opinion..

Belting player and was very highly regarded for a long time. It's good to see him flourish, sickener it's not with us. We've brought some very good players through in recent years : Wharton, Raya, Phillips, Carter, S Wharton but for injures would have had a much better career.. Travis, Lenihan.. With shrewd leadership we could and probably should be EPL yo-yo at least with a core of home grown players.. Swings and roundabouts though. One day we'll be back. Good luck with the season. That Mateta is brilliant. Proper shows up United how you fish players from the epl..

Ismael has had a two games... Eustace was 'Useless' he hardly set the world on fire.. The same lads Eustace turned into world beaters narrowly missed out on the playoffs the season prior to his arrival...

What? Like JRC was shite and had a revival under JDT to become one of the best inverted full backs in the division? .. JDT got a tune out of these boys before he decided he'd had enough- Eustace took over a midtable club and survived by the skin of his teeth.. I will absolutely over the moon to see him get sacked in league one. No way that lot stop up. Dreadful side.

Get out, it's those 11 lads on the pitch! Granted the manager has a significant influence I'm not having that.. It's not Eustace putting his balls on the line.. There's time yet, lets see how things pan out.. Other than those two early goals Derby were dreadful.

Is it acceptable to crack open a nice cold cider for this one given the weather?

Lets just wash our own face, nice 0-5 victory today to help with the GD

Love your profile picture! 'Stop your grinnin and drop your linen!' Massive fan of Aliens!

GK: Pears DL: Ribeiro (Unless Beck is fit?) DR: Brittain DC: Carter DC Hyam (How long's Batth out for- massive loss!) CM: Travis CM: Trondstadt AML: Kargbo AMR: Dolan AMC: Cantwell ST: Gueye Feel a bit short with Dennis being suspended.. He'd be starting for me ahead of Dolan or Cantwell- once he gets motoring he'll be a massive asset. Shame on Buckley with the concussion too, I thought he was really beginning to capture a bit of form. Perhaps the biggest loss for us has been Batth though. He's been immense this season, genuinely can't recall him putting a foot wrong and has popped up at vital times at the other end of the pitch with goals and assists. We need to be looking for players of his ilk but younger.. The team largely picks itself in my opinion.. We may see a Hedges in there.. There all big games now, Derby are really poor, so I'm going 3-0 Derby!

I would rather play Garrett than Foreshaw and he's on the bench for Tranmere at the moment.. Ridiculous signing..

Dennis was unlucky.. Madness to be writing him off already.. Is it a one game ban for two yellows?

Foreshaw has been well sloppy for a professional footballer..

Every game I've seen him Foreshaw has been sloppy.. The game against Plymouth (I think) he played a short backpass that almost led to a goal.. No disrespect but I'd rather given an academy lad a go...

Norwich look a bit suspect.. Think we can get something here providing Gueye doesn't get a red for elbowing Duffy..

Woefully short in centre mid... Signing a Foreshaw instead of an O'Brien will be the difference I think.. Happy to be proven wrong but even at his peak he wasn't great..

3 year contract too... Stone the crows!

I'm happy with this appointment, think the players we have will suit him down to the ground. . Trondstadt and Travis both remaining fit will be pivotal to any success in the latter part of this season.. We have been crying out for a Rothwell replacement since we lost him.. Welcome aboard, Valerian. Rather have someone leading us that wants to be here than someone that doesn't...

No inkling of who it might be then??

Might as well just play him at this point.. Bucko is a much better player than Forshaw. He almost cost us a goal against Plymouth with a shit back-pass. Nothing in his performance made me think he deserved to start the next game... Carter needs to come back in and the new lads now.

How does Kargbo, Dennis and Buckley look?
