The club as a whole feels so hollow, no surprise with the heart being ripped out. Mowbray needs to go, there is the making of a team that could do something with the right players added. I’m past worrying what we might get if TM leaves, time for a change. 

This is the first thing I’ve felt like posting about for a while, fantastic move imo. Hoping to see a good few moved up to the first team now. Definitely could be a future manager for us as well.

Must admit, if anything can make me laugh after getting slapped 4-1, it’s when people say ‘the reaction is OTT as per usual’. 

What do we expect? For us to be cracking out the Cristal? 

Just drowning in Guinness, but that could be on a winning day too... 

Well that was a pile of wank. We had the spell where Bristol should of been punished. Pretty much all the second half we wasn’t at the races. Hopefully this international break brings Dack back firing all guns. Was going to lose one at some point but this is us at our weakest, too many people coming back and new faces being added,  new to the system. Let’s see how we kick on after the international break.

Anything to give us an edge! Although if we don’t get some bodies back before the game then can’t say I’m looking forward to it. 

Still unbeaten ?

Poor from VAR clear penalty.

Agreed, and I’m hoping Brazil get knocked out! If VAR is going to be used then do it right. 

I'm being told if you have a bet365 account then you can watch the game that way.

Couldn't care less about this comp considering the state we're in but a win is most welcomed. The team needs to gel and this will go towards that. No point in moaning about any aspect tonight, we did what needed to be done, on to Saturday now.

 Context is everything. We've just had to endure Coyle, and earlier Kean. Mowbray is a breath of fresh air in comparison, he's generally regarded as a man of integrity, has a passion for the game and wants to do right by the club. For those reasons I think a lot of Rovers fans, understandably, want him to do well.

Bang on the money there blueboy IMO. We haven't got off to the start we would all want but let's give this team a little time to gel. Come Xmas if it's not working then that would be the time to change. 

The higher up you go the more it becomes corrupt...

I think were exactly where we were in 1991 when jack took full control and gave the club an unnatural ascension. At the time we were battling relegation to the third division.

Wow, unnatural ascension! There was nothing unnatural about a man wanting his club to succeed and being in a position to help us do it. I would suggest you go back a bit further than 1991 and find out a bit about one of the founding members of the football league.

Then Burnley fans are right about some rovers fans, they expect success bought for them without earning it.

Why are you so concerned with them lot?? I can look at where they are now and respect how they've done it, they're a well run club but that use to be us! I'm saying Venkys should be paying to put their mistakes right, fat chance I know. Because of how low they have taken us it's going to take big investment, otherwise we're just going to stagnate even further.    How do you see us climbing out of this league or are you one of these that thinks we're back at our level?

By that, do you means Venkys spending beyond the clubs means?

They've took us down this low that now they could theoretically put in whatever they want, seeing as we're not restricted by the same FFP rules as in the championship. So yes we should be spending well above our means and blow everyone else out of the water. Money might not buy you success in the leagues above but the lower down you go it makes one hell of a difference.

What I don't agree with is the idea venkys should feel obliged to spend beyond our means to return us to the premier league. I'm actually a bit in agreement with the Burnley fans argument on that. Its humiliating that some of our fans feel we should have a right to a sugardaddy figure.

Until Venkys turned up we were a well run premier league club. If they had anything about them then they should move heaven and earth to get us back for the monumental co*k up they've produced... or bugger off.

Let's not get too despondent, we are seeded!  

Depressing reading indeed, it needs to be documented though. Well done to the people putting this altogether. The worrying thing is Venkys are still here, to think how far we've fallen. I fear it will get worse still before we can start rebuilding #venkysout!

Arsenal bossed it. Almost let It slip but were definitely worth it. I remember when we use to play against them in the premier, they were the one team I feared. If I was Arsene then I would head out in the sun set.

I fear he is another player we're going to see rise above our level, I don't blame the lad. Football has a short career span and you have to squeeze every last ounce out of it. He will know exactly what is happening behind the scenes at our club, why would he want to sign up for what's on offer at the moment.

@#/? poor final. People will moan but Jose has achieved what he set out when he knew he wasn't in the mix. Expect them to be winning something again next year. Would bet my house on Tottenham to win the premier next season if they wasn't based at Wemberlee!
