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.

Rovers will be checking out of the Championship too!

More than likely a loss, Boro got a good win yesterday and their playoff hopes have been reignited. Rovers with apathy throughout the club from top to bottom, there's very little chance of a result here.

Didn't realise Derby play Stoke at Pride Park in the final game of the season. That is quite possible going to be a relegation decider, whoever loses goes down. Also helps Rovers secure survival 😂

The performances have really just made it crystal clear just how little the players want to play for Ismael. Under Eustace this lot would keep going and going, even in poor performances and defeats, you could very rarely question their effort and commitment. This group of players have also shown that they need an expert man manager to be able to achieve anything at this level. Ismael is definitely not giving 'good man manager', so it's no surprise that these players have dropped off a cliff.

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit here, but part of me wouldn't be surprised if they came to an agreement for Ismael to leave the club as a way to try and deflect what is inevitably going to be quite a toxic atmosphere at Ewood in the coming weeks. That being said, there's just no way they are ever sacking him and paying off a 3 year contract. If there's a positive to be had, its that they've appointed such a bad head coach that it is surely going to unite more fans in turning on the owners. If Ismael is at the club next season then he's going to be up there with Coyle and Kean in levels of hatred.

I said this a few weeks ago...but now i'm starting to have doubts 😂

Ismael currently has the same number of points after 5 games that Coyle had. Fail to get anything from the Boro game and he'll have had a worse start than Coyle 😂.

Every Ismael performance has been the same. He is a total waste of time. Shockingly bad appointment.

Next Friday will be very interesting, especially if Rovers lose tomorrow.

Excellent work by all involved. Thank you

Strange one. Can understand it if he was on the verge of the sack at Shrews but it sounds like they were absolutely desperate to keep hold of him regardless of relegation or not. He obviously didn't like something there. Gillingham have become a bit of a poisoned chalice in League Two.

Pompey with a pretty strong home record, Rovers with a recent abysmal record in general. Players injured plus seemingly woeful head coach. This surely can't be anything other than a home win, but the Championship is an odd one so I guess there's always a possibility of an away result.... I want to believe, but I just can't see it with the way things are heading. Pompey 3 - 1 Rovers.

The title of this thread:

We're talking promotions to the premier league though aren't we? Edwards has one of those, an fair play to him for doing so. The other was a promotion out of League Two, which doesn't really scratch the surface and is somewhat irrelevant given its two tiers below Rovers. Mark Hughes, one of our best modern managers failed to get a promotion out of League Two with Bradford, so its a mute point IMO. That aside, you go with the here and now, and Edwards struggled massively this season with Luton, whereas Eustace had us punching well above our weight. It's a pointless discussion anyway, he didn't come here and we're stuck with someone who so far appears to be clearly inferior of either Edwards or Eustace. Lucky us!

Knowing our luck these days, Rovers will be the one club he stays at for more than 50 games. I've taken an immediate disliking to this guy. Comes across as horribly in the press. Arrogance without the results to back it up.

Not as simple as that though is it? Edwards has one promotion to the premier league on his CV. By that logic Owen Coyle wouldn't be a downgrade on Eustace either 😂. For what it's worth I think its clear now that Edwards would've been a better pick than Ismael at this moment in time, regardless of whether we think Edwards is better than Eustace or not.

Pears has well and truly ripped up any decent work he put in during the earlier parts of the season, where it looked like he had nullified a lot of his own errors. When's his contract up? He's one player I couldn't care less about going for nothing.

Was there much in the way of Venkys Out chanting? Or anything aimed towards Waggott / Suhail / Gestede? The club is an absolute disgrace from top to bottom. I don't see another win this season if we can't pick up a single point against 3 of the worst sides in the league.

Yeah, Ismael is already proving a lot of us right. If there isn't a break clause in that big old 3 1/2 year deal I'd be staggered, especially given how cheap the club does things. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he's gone in the summer and circus will continue onto the next stop.

Its also the only comms he's given since being here 😂

Someone has mentioned it on X. Apparently told fan(s) to f*ck off according to them.

0-1 Cardiff. We are thoroughly enjoying giving relegation threatened teams a lifeline at the moment, and I suspect a number of Rovers players have downed tools for the season. For what it's worth, this is the team I'd go with: A goalkeeper Britain Carter Hyam Ribeiro Travis Tronstad Dolan Ohashi Dennis Gueye Urrgh
