I thought Buckley was an improvement from Garrett and Moran in the middle. Not Wharton but much better. SG work rate is undeniable, but his touch and lack of anticipation limits his chances to score. Szmodics, Dolan, Siggy are struggling to find a way to play off SG and are much less effective they’re asked to win possession from 50:50s which isn’t their strong suit. 
 

The biggest change I see is the keeper has been instructed not to fook around with all the passing in our box. Being just a bit less suicidal in December and January and we’d be well clear from relegation. 
 

I recall at the beginning of the season when there was speculation JDT could leave GB mentioning the style we would like to play being the same under a different manager. Didn’t he say we had a list of managers who would continue the “new project”?  Seems like either by design, lack of transfer funds, change in manager or necessity to stay up we’ve certainly changed the style when JDT was shown the door. 

was shown the door. 

I prefer the term "offloaded"

Great player, as said maverick but great to watch R.I.P.

A thousand for every page on this thread for a Saturday 3 pm home game against a promotion hopeful says it all.

There is talk. I think this weekend is too soon tho? Id love to see him play, especially as it seems the players are

" playing with freedom " at the moment 

"Hides behind curtains "

Cheers for that, I have no connection to the "young un's" nowadays due to distance.

If Broughton is still here.

Wonder what it would take to sign him?  😥. 

Intent.

No conspiracy theory when it's happened 3 times. All with incomings.

Sliding doors and all that but I have always wondered what would have happened if Sven hadn’t weaselled out of his agreement with Jack

It was a reasoned response/reason imo.

Bucko could be a great player, could be.,...

Retire Tony, your pension pots full FFS.

Play the strongest team every game!  As RA says above, they may get injured in training etc etc, 

Sub them off at 70 mins if we're winning 🙏

Our injury "crisis" is not a new thing though is it? Mowbrays squad had similar issues, just that we had slightly larger/better pool of players to pick from.

Burnley 0 Arsenal 5

Cheer up guys, we haven't lost - yet

I've got a new phone literally 2 hours ago.

Everything is still fine.

Phew!

Trav is limited but so are the rest of the squad. 

Be happy to see him back.

Had no probs on my Nokia/Vodafone way of connecting 👍

Dolan's decent. Keep him, it's where we are 🙄

Brilliant news! - whatever it is you’re having, can we try it on the Venkys? 🤔

We don't want them to recover  🤦‍♂️

Is there a "Fighting Fund?" I'll happily contribute from afar.

Who actually issues the club statement, sorry who composes it, does anyone know?

On the topic of this thread...

 

I think the perfect theme would be...

 

LOVE Rovers | HATE Venkys

 

Can't be any clearer than that. 

 

Plus the chant is already there. 

We are the Rovers, We hate Venkys, We are the Rovers, We hate the Raos, We are the Rovers,

and on and on and on 👍
