Displaced Rover

Not a chance of it being a tenner a ticket with Wrexham almost assured of selling 7,000. Waggots eyes will be showing $$ signs right now... Come to think of it, imagine Wrexham would have to agree on ticket prices and given they'll be getting 45% of receipts makes sense for them not to discount as well.

It’s like we’re trying to set the record for youngest squad ever assembled. We’re in a battle to stay in the league, don’t need children from two clubs we used to send our cast offs to!

Are you Leo’s agent?! He’s absolutely shite at the moment. He made one semi decent save against Watford and at the same time cost us all 3 points. Going back to your original point, in no way would it be “harsh” if he was dropped. If anything it would be doing the lad (and the rest of us) a massive favour.

He was having a good game until he made two howlers and threw away the game. Christ 🙄

This must be a wind up? You can’t have watched him for the last few weeks and thought anything other than “he’s massively out his depth”

Christ, we’ve hit rock bottom. Things can only get better (probably)

This has to be a wind up surely!?!? I know it was League One last season but I can’t see how he can genuinely have impressed you. Looks a pub player

Fix... 😆

Any chance of an update towards end of this week?

Medium - short please!

We look so leggy. Going to struggle through the Christmas period with our total lack of depth.

Ennis looks well off it. Can’t blame him necessarily, given complete lack of football Would like Leonard on fairly swiftly

We're seriously lacking in quality across the pitch but nowhere more so than upfront. As was said in thee Middlesbrough match thread, JDT chucked Telalovic on to show everyone he's not up to it and subsequently he's been nowhere near the side. Classic panic buy. That said - apparently his birthday is 23rd December so maybe he'll get thrown on and bang in a hat-trick as we finally come from behind to win a game at Ewood...

Is that 6 out of 9 without a championship appearance?!?

At least then he'll also have to take the blame when he reverts to £30 a game and 11k on...

Not a chance if he keeps trying to play in his arrogant, Pep inspired away. Easy to do when you've spent 20 times what most other teams in the Championship have, not so easy in the Premier League. Best chance of staying up is potting him and bringing someone in who wants to grind it out, no chance old Vincent changes the style, far too big an ego

Been sloppy all season but seems to get a free pass because he’s a Rovers fan

I agree the gulf is as big as it has ever been and only going one way. However, I maintain they've done themselves no favours. It's an astounding level of arrogance from Kompany to think they can play the same way as they did last year given the overall quality of the league. Massive level of hubris on the back of buying their way out the league last year.

Battered them?!? Behave. Was a close ish game that you might say we edged in chances. Point probably would have been fair.

Either Travis RB, Brittain LB or (and think this very unlikely) back 3 of Hill, Wharton, Brittain?

Yes - obviously just want to see us win every game in an ideal world. I'll illustrate my point - I think I know the outcome of every dingle game, key incidents, background etc since 2000/01. Whereas all the games against Preston (Jansen and 2017 relegation season aside) blur into all the other games we've had in that time. Maybe I'm from the wrong part of Lancashire (I don't know any Preston fans personally), it just doesn't mean any more than any other Championship fixture to me. As you say, I could be in the minority.

Think the definition of a derby requires a rivalry, not just proximity. I don’t think about Preston from one game to the next. No different to playing Ipswich in my eyes.

Ah forgot about Walsall - was sure Harrogate must've been round 1!

Interesting stat, we have looked a lot more solid with him in the team, but doesn't that add up to more games than we've played? 15 league + 3 league cup = 18?

The first two words of the title were enough for me!
