He did it against Stoke too, when Dolan scored. He's frustrating, but not as bad as is often made out.

Is Leeds a nailed on defeat though? I mean, they failed to even score at home against Sunderland last night! I'm trying to be glass half full, but I'm more concerned about the evidence of fight in our relegation rivals, as evidenced by Sheff Weds, Millwall & Plymouth tonight. In all honesty I'm v concerned as it's silly season results-wise. Pressure (or the lack of it) does strange things to the psyche of teams... At least it's in our hands still but, as unlikely as it is, I really don't want to go into the Wednesday match with anything less than a 6 point gap (i.e. 7 inc the favourable GD).

Totally agree. Both much signed on here & of course they have their issues, but they are crucial to us offensively & those stats don't lie.

Oi, leave us alone; divide & rule is what Waggott wants!!

Precious buggers, they've managed to get a league goal out of him & I've seen more of him in a Stoke shirt than I did in a Rovers one!!

Eustace out, Johnson in!!

Eustace: “At the moment, we’ve had some difficult moments, but we have an exciting group of young players and, with a little bit of help, we can really push up that league." Er, John, about that "little bit of help"....

Gilsenan on target again tonight, Rovers 1 up at Fulham after 20 mins.

Well, I think this is as good as the week could've ended, given the shit show we've all had to endure. Thanks JDT, he leaves with my absolute best wishes & thanks for his efforts. Good luck John, you're going to need it. I'll be there tomorrow supporting the team, the manager & the club. I will be vocal in joining in the Venkys / Waggott out chants, though my voice will probably not match my strength of feeling.

Catch up Rev!!

Moston have probably had better options tbf.

Not on Rovers website it isn't!!

Nah, they've ordered a curry in and are just finishing off their peshwaris.

Gregg does seem to be more implicated here than I thought. Not only for not making personally sure the papers had been sent (as he was the one who said he'd ensured last Jan's problem couldn't happen again, even though he personally could not submit the docs & ought to be able to trust those who could), but also it seems like he was happy to all but commit the club to spending £7m on a late-developing college football rookie. If he was keen on this player for months (his prerogative as DoF), why was due diligence elsewhere in recruitment only done on deadline day?? As for Waggott, on £300k p/a and being the only other person able to submit docs besides Sylvester, he ought to have done it himself given what happened last January. An absolute derogation of duty on his part, added to his derogation of duty last Jan when at the match instead of overseeing deadline day. I think both have to go (somewhat reluctantly in GB's case), and Sylvester of course.

I've argued Gregg's corner on the Phillips situation & generally in his time here, but if that is a correct analysis of what happened then it would arguably a much bigger error in financial terms than the O'brien, Brierley & McGuire fiascos combined.
