Displaced Rover

Can we just eliminate all mention of that c***.... I was reminded of the immense positivity I felt as my brother and I arrived at the valley 8 years ago. If only I'd known how much further and longer the slide would go...

and exactly the sort of game we've struggled with in recent seasons. Winning your home games and a solid GD are very important in this league. Lest we forget how we got relegated....

I disagree. We just scored 2 away at Bournemouth and really should have had more. The goals will come, I just can't see us keeping enough out...

Genuinely really happy with that signing. Get a good left back in and we could be in for an exciting season*. *Until the inevitable injury crisis highlights the massive lack of depth ha ha

I just despair at the management of this club. Going forward clearly a side capable of top 6, but defensively they'd struggle in League 1. It's bizarre that we can all seemingly see it but not those who matter...

Not at fault. Crap defending for all 3

What do I know. Get in.

Dolan and Rothwell making a difference already. I'd have definitely taken Armstrong off instead of Ben

Armstrong been very poor today. Hopefully he's pulled for Dolan and Brereton goes through the middle.

What a save... What a shite piece of play by Bell directly leading to said great save...

This team is 3 defenders short of a play off push... as it is 15th...

I do think we are missing mobility in the middle with Holtby and Johnson, especially when Bournemouth are on the counter. Other than that think we've been OK. JRC and Nyambe linked well. Brereton needs a goal but on the whole looks much more of a prospect. Be good to see Dolan and Buckley in second half.

This 10 for Bournemouth is a total clown.

Get in! A goalkeeping error going our way! What a time to be alive

Jesus this is a joke. Ref giving fouls for the lightest of contact...

Good defending from Williams there tbf... We look vulnerable on the counter. FFS

There's goals for Rovers here today for sure. Bournemouth trying to play far too much from the back. Unfortunately I suspect there might also be plenty of goals in the other net...

Well the option is pay 80-90% of his wages or pay 100% of his wages....

It's very interesting that all the players seem to love the new away kit (based on instagram). I reckon it'd be very interesting to setup a poll and view results of like/dislike by age ha ha I'll start, 30s and I think it's great

I quite like it...

I don't understand this argument. How is getting paid substantially more to do your job "all that's wrong with modern football"? People need to realise, it's a job. A job I might add with a very short shelf life. Earn what you can and get out. Why would anyone begrudge someone earning double possibly triple what we could pay them? Whether he plays much or not is totally irrelevant.

"Tugay and Dunn were flanked by Damien Duff and Gary Flitcroft, two wingers who added electric pace and cutting edge creativity to the ranks" The electric pace of renowned winger Gary Flitcroft?!?! Ha ha My favourite Tugay memory is probably him having Gerrard on a piece of string for 80 minutes, including that step over and slide rule pass to set up the winner. I find reminiscing about Tugay (and others from our illustrious history) a very sad reminder of what has happened to our club...

Kevin Davies

As much as I'd prefer him to Walton, he does always have a howler in him...

He definitely did it when he came back for a testimonial game (want to say it was for Parkes?)
