COME ON ROVERS !!!!

No way Diaz gets back in this side.

Man U away is the best for a Waggott Windfall. May be able to sort the pitch out and the painting with the extra cash.

JRC will be player of the season if he keeps playing like that. Hope he isn't going to be out injured.

Miles better with Dolan on the left than Diaz. A lot more energy.

Best game Szmodics has had.

Morton was really good until he tired and needed to come off 5 mins before ge did.

Travis was immense tonight.

I don't think Vale touched the ball.

Best we have played for years that. Really enjoyed it !

Waggott will be praying for Man U away for a bumper (over budget) payday. 

Get in

So Dack was running the game.

Smodicks hasn't touched the ball yet

Good sub Jon.

Good game for a change.

Lovely finish from Dack.

In the end though, 2 points dropped as we make our way down the table.

Oh I almost forgot...we are only doing draws now.

No outlet or threat since Sorba withdrawn.

Almost 2 in a minute

And many passed on.

Whats more stubborn than an Indian businessman ?

An old working class Lancashire bloke.

Do lower ticket prices attract more fans? 
 

They attract a few more people to go for the one off. Friends etc. Not fans.

They wont attract me or thousands of other fans because we are waiting for the owners to leave. Really simple concept.

We are also getting another quarter of a million for being live on the BBC Red Button & iplayer.

So chucking £30K in should be seen, 100% as no different than a little flutter down the bookies on us getting to the next round. If we got City away Stevey will be in bonus heaven.

The Carabao cup works the same way. 45% each way. That nice little trip to West Ham probably paid for our new striker.... oh wait.

Lets not think that Waggott is discounting tickets for Leicester.

Firstly, gettting to this round will not have been in the budget. That means every penny we rake in makes him look even more of a hero to his paymasters.

Secondly, away at a PL team is far more lucrative for us than being at home.

Between the third and sixth rounds FA CUP games, 45 per cent of gate receipts are divided between both clubs, with 10 per cent heading into a central pot.

This discount to our modest allocation is being funded entirely by Leicester fans rather than our club.

Waggott's spreadsheet convinces him that it must be his birthday so a crumb thrown to the peasants.

We have had 2 shots on target all night.

No wonder we hardly score.

I don't think anyone has told the lads we are at home to the bottom side and can go back into the play offs.

Vale good ball to Sorba there

Get Waggott and Suhail off my TV

Don't think so

Why is the pitch such a mess ?

11:15 as I’m typing this and I don’t think Vale’s touched it yet. More to follow. 

I just reminded myself he's playing. Not heard him mentioned yet. Don't think he has had a touch.

I don't think I have seen it mentioned but do we know who this was ?

An agreement was also close for a striker on deadline day, while other targets came and went during the course of January.

So does O'Brien just play for Forest's U23s now or does he have to sit it out the remainder of the season ?

I realise he will still get his PL salary but what a waste. 

Too early to start the Summer Transfer Window thread ?

Markanday will be back as our first like a new striker.

Then we will get another on loan to replace Diaz.

Oh and a midfielder from Liverpool on loan.

That should be our lot. Great window.

So if I recall, there were 3 teams after O'Brien. 2 dropped out leaving us. I bet he wouldn't have chosen us in a 2 horse race.

Then I suppose O'Brien was the last choice for us. He came available only on the Tuesday. Cantwell had already fucked us off. Goodness knows who else.

Thing is, if O'Brien hadn't become suddenly available, who were we bringing in instead ? Clearly nobody.

Venkys Out.
