Of course, we all want Rovers to win every match.

With all that significant investment? Surely not

It'll swing back if Rovers lose tomorrow night and Ismael stands with his hands in his pockets, offering absolutely no encouragement to his players before heading down the tunnel at full time, ignorant to the fans.

Not that I feel sorry for Gestede in the slightest, but he has been put in a role he is drastically underqualified for, which makes it seem fairly likely that it's been done so that they can easily mould him into just another pawn....he won't know any better.

I haven't seen the Nixon story but from the headline alone I can tell it is the fluffiest fluff you'll find. A nothing story. Of course there will be a squad transformation, look at the number of short term / out of contract players there are. Regardless of who is head coach next season, the summer will be just like the one when Coyle came in...a bunch of cheap / free / loan players that form a ragtag bunch of a squad. Basically what we've ended up with this season but probably even worse.

Seems like the obvious choice.

Maybe they'll get Adam Forshaw in the summer then 😂. Rohl comes across as a fantastic coach and would do wonders at a club with sufficient backing. If he doesn't get a bigger job in the summer I'd be very surprised.

Yep, looking likely that it'll be Burnley and Sheffield United as the top two. The title clincher will probably be when they play each other at Turf Moor.

Imagine if Lowe hadn't picked up those two wins....we'd be well and truly looking over our shoulders...and we might still be yet if Luton manage to beat Leeds today (currently they are leading 1 nil) Scratch that, now 1-1

Sheffield Wednesday have a pretty strong away record. 4th in fact, with only the top 3 in the league having better away records. The players heads have gone now. Rovers 0 - 2 Wednesday.

If the 3 month break clause is true and Rovers don't have to pay compo to part ways before the end of that then surely you'd think it has to end soon with this guy. Thoroughly unlikeable and clearly a bad coach.

Fair point, but nothing the club does tends to makes any sense and since when did they care what the fans thought anyway. As I say, they'd probably spend transfer budget for the next two windows paying him off because they never plan ahead.

I can see them potting Ismael out of sheer desperation, thus wiping out the summer transfer budget 🥲

"We're creating more chances"

This game has similar vibes to the Bolton home defeat way back in 2011. Unhappy crowd, terrible team performance, awful manager / head coach who's way out of his depth. The fact that we're still going through the same problems with the same owners some 14 years later is soul destroying.

That would be the small minority of fans up to no good again 😂

We won't get another point this season under Ismael never mind a win 😂.

Good that Ribeiro is tied down for longer now. A reasonable full back with experience and hopefully that's the left back position covered for next season when Pickering is also back to match fitness.

Yeah just checked, it was 9 games before we beat Sunderland 5-1. 6 draws and 3 defeats.

If Rovers lose tomorrow then Ismael will have had a worse start in 6 league games than Owen Coyle, who managed 2 points from his first 6. I can't think of any examples where a new head coach / manager can come back from such a bad start and make a success of things, especially in the basket case circus environment that is Rovers.

I agree. This is one of, if not THE most definitive things I've seen of someone pulling apart the last 15 years in such a direct way. I think its brilliant.

It really feels like the club are on an extremely dangerous path now. For the 3 stooges to come out as they have in such a defensive manner, spewing lie after lie. Although I really admire the efforts of those that have put together the recent campaign and how they've handled things, there will come a time when things get so heated and ugly that we end up in a Reading or Blackpool scenario where games are getting abandoned. Remember when Blackpool were still owned by the Oystons and their final home game of the season was abandoned due to fans sitting in the centre circle? I feel like we're getting closer and closer to that kind of thing after what I've heard from the 3 stooges today.

If we weren't certain that the club is absolutely rotting from the head down then we can be sure now!

Couldn't care less what Gestede says in this interview with Elliott. It'll just be the usual crap that the club trot out every time there is unrest. Just read the first article Elliott has published on the LT website and yep...it's just a load of waffle from Gestede. Suhail is the one I am interested to hear from, even though I know that'll be a waste of time as well!

White and Jordan is probably the worst show a Rovers fan could go on to defend themselves. Jordan always has his 'football club owner' hat on and rarely gives anyone opportunity to say their piece without butting in...and Jim White, well the less said about him the better. An absolute waste of space who was always a big Kean supporter. The simple response to anyone saying Gestede is an exceptional individual is to inform them of the things he said he'd do but hasn't....communicate with the fans being the first thing. Haven't heard or seen the interview but I hope the fan came out of it ok.
