This is the most downbeat I have been with regards to rovers. Wafer thin squad with massive holes in it and the season starts next week. We always do our business late, so I am hoping that we bring a few much needed faces in this week. A very good performance against Leeds was backed up by a horrible 60 minutes against Bolton. Positives? Pickering will be a good signing & Brereton looks like he is on a real high. But biggest positive so far has been Buckley for me. Excellent against Leeds and excellent again today in a position we are desperately short in. Armstrongs head has been turned. No surprise. He knows the club are desperate to sell him. Why should he bust his balls and risk injury? If all we can manage is a few 'big club' loanees we are in for a looooooooong season. Get this dinasaur and his mates out of my club now.

Likewise I always thought the barracking of Ferguson was OTT. Granted I didn't go to as many games back then. But I thought he was just starting to settle and look like a decent player when he got that horrible injury. Then he left shortly after he returned I think.

Miles Anderson will always be my number 1 in this topic. It boils my blood that he got a contact and a wage from our club. Hateful. After that in no particular order. Bradley orr. Leon best, Danny Murphy, etithu, the Portuguese contingent & that French lad that big sam signed goulon or something, he was absolutely garbage

For what it's worth I think Raya will shine in the Premier league and get even better. I was absolutely gutted when we sold him for what I considered to be for peanuts. I'm delighted with Kaminski and I also think he is lower premier league quality. But I would much rather that Raya was still with us.

Today's performance just summed up our season perfectly. Played some decent football but we lack organisation and that ruthless streak to see games out. We will always give the opposition a goal. Even poor teams like Rotherham. I'm clinging on to the hope that TM will do the the right thing and walk as soon as the season is over.

Can I have some of what you are smoking please

Formica for sure could have been so much better than what he was

He was a young up and coming manager at the time. Had done really well with mk dons and I thought at the time he would have been a good fit for us. We all know how it worked out for him in the end, but I for one didn't criticise the appointment at the time.

For me Mowbray had enough credit in the bank to see this season through and walk away with his head held high. If that doesn't happen then he is taking the piss

Very lucky to be still in the game at half time. Derby should be in front & they are poor. We need a point or 2 to scrape past relegation then get rid off him in the summer

Great header from gally tbf

Would like an update on this if anyone has been by Ewood recently. Weeds still growing? Still dirty looking from the outside?

So true. Change the full attacking midfield and the RB every single game. The manager issue is the million dollar question. If TM goes who do we replace him with. My heart says Hughes my brain says another Coyle cheap option

Back to the game. Something struck me at full-time today. We will definitely loose arma in the summer. Fee probably 15 - 20 million. How the hell do we replace his goals. Gally up top at long last maybe? Or big Ben to finally show his worth

Under normal circumstances a point away to Cardiff is a good result. However 8 points from the last 40 odd available is just not acceptable. I've argued with most of you on this site re my stance on TM. He came in, stabilised the club, almost avoided relegation against all odds. Promotion at the first attempt and prior to this season improved us each year. However even I can see that he's taken us as far as he is capable of doing. That squad should be top 6 no excuses. Hopefully he goes in the summer with his dignity in tact. What next from the Vs? That's anyone's guess. At least we good some good news this week re the STC.
