Hahahaha Weimann scores after missing an absolute sitter.

I don't mind him, but then he once bought a print off me to gift to Mark Atkins so maybe I'm biased 😂

Leonard hits the bar

Listening to Radio Lancs. Andy Bayes losing his rag with Leonard for constantly getting offside. In fact he's losing his rag with most of them 😂.

Only 'report' I've seen of that is from that Nathan Jones fella tweeting it. Not sure you can call that a report though 😂

Pretty content with Dion Sanderson signing. Its clearly a Eustace choice and he's coming in as cover and Eustace clearly rated him enough to have him as his captain at Birmingham. Also a good age at 25. Simply can't be happy with the Forshaw signing. Ok its another one who is coming in as cover, but its a downgrade from Baker IMO. I hope we don't have to resort to playing him to be honest. We'll be hoping that Buckley and / or Garrett can step up until Trav is back. Fingers crossed that the more attacking incomings are more impressive (if there are any that is).

Adam Forshaw??? F*cking HELLLLLLLLL

I don't like the idea of JRC in midfield after his embarrassing stint there in the EFL cup earlier this season when he effectively cost us the game. Sod it, how about a 4 4 Effing 2 😅 Toth JRC Fadz Hyam Beck ACD Buckley Garrett Hedges Gueye Leonard Obviously this is a bit tongue in cheek in case anyone decides to take offense 😂

I'd be surprised if Dyche went anywhere else this season. He'll likely do what he did after Burnley and take a break. Not sure he will be able to secure another prem job next though. More than likely going to need to step down a level again. Be interesting to see who Everton bring in.

Well he's already got more Championship goals this season than Gueye 😂. Would not be at all surprised if this happened.

History tells us that he's probably more likely to run his contract down. We've been here before several times over the last few seasons.

Liam Kitching on loan isn't exactly inspiring but if its simply as cover to what we already have then fine, as we know we do need some cover defensively. The greater concern is the lack of solidified targets further up the pitch.

Baker has probably been recalled due to Stoke bringing in a new manager. Robins probably wants to run the rule over him. It's a shame in terms of losing a body to cover for Travis, but he wasn't pulling up any trees either. Baker is just a very mid table standard Championship midfielder, but the goal against Cardiff was appreciated. In some ways I'm ok with Garrett sticking with the first team squad as cover, but we definitely do need someone else of first team quality to come in now.

Buckley lost his way big time after Mowbray left. When Adam Wharton broke into the team its as though Buckley just cowered away from the challenge and has never recovered since. If he applied himself properly with the right attitude then he'd be on the team sheet every week in Trav's absence for sure, because I'd say he's a more technically gifted player than Lewis Baker. Looks like he has lost his love for the game at this point. It happens, and it would be best for him to drop a level or two and find the love again, but I doubt he will.

I agree with that, but its intelligence / decision making were he seems to be lacking. Similar to Dolan really, they both lack the intelligence to step it up a level or two and stay there. Its always 1 good game in 5 with them.

Hanley?? Really??? Crikey. Didn't realise he was 33 either. We already have Batth and McFadzean as the super experienced types, and I'd say Batth is probably a better defender than Hanley anyway.

Rest as many players as possible for this one. Would like to see Toth, McFadzean, JRC, Buckley and Leonard all come in as a minimum. It'd be absolutely typical Rovers to go and win this game and lose the game in hand against Portsmouth 😂.

I like Mowbray, and appreciate that he got the club back up at the first attempt...BUT yeah, forfeiting the League One title was piss poor, and it set the tone for the remainder of his time at the club.

Do they not play in totally different positions? Not being good enough for a premier league side anymore is one thing, but Schlupp would probably get in Rovers team as it stands ahead of Hedges / Dolan

He's probably asked to be paid peanuts, just the way they like it. Have a mate who works in social media / marketing. He applied for a marketing role at Rovers in the summer. They short listed him for the job and asked for his salary expectations, to which he put whatever the average is for such a role. They immediately ghosted him afterwards 😂.

I mean, they should be a class above given their squad value. They have played like that all season. Did anyone truly expect Rovers to go and outplay them? My point on Parker is that he isn't cut out for the prem, as we've already seen....twice. He's a fine manager at Champ level at a club with money to spend on a better standard of players as he had with Fulham and Bournemouth, but as with both those sides I suspect he'll be found wanting...much like our friend Russell Martin. Also don't forget the awful spell he had in Belgium. Some coaches just aren't good enough for the top level...like how Neil Warnock was never cut out for the prem but seen as the ultimate 2nd tier coach.

Didn't see their celebrations but that is pretty gut wrenching to hear. Unfortunately it will continue this way until Venkys are gone. The only way Rovers surpass that lot again is if they get new ownership that know what they're doing and actually treat the club with the respect it deserves. Burnley meanwhile will continue the cycle of promotion, relegation, spending parachute money to get promotion, relegation, etc. until they cement themselves in the top tier again. Don't think they'll manage it with Parker though. We've already seen with two separate clubs that he can't hack it in the Premier League.

I'd take Schlupp. Plenty of Championship experience and IMO is a better footballer than anyone we currently have playing out on the left. At 32 though he won't have the same pace he used to, but I'd still take have him in the side over Hedges or Dolan. Kent is a tricky one. We need players who can hit the ground running and he's been without a club for a few months, probably needs to spend some time working up to full fitness, so how much of an impact can he realistically make this season if he was to come in? It also seems more likely that he'll end up back at Rangers based on the latest stories about him.

I think Brittain was just about the best player for Rovers today. I think he's having a pretty decent season overall.

Do any of Rovers attacking players have the hunger to get on the end of chances to make them top players? I'm not so sure they do. We probably will get a striker and a winger, but it'll likely be young loans from the likes of Fulham, Bournemouth and Brighton, and they probably won't improve the first team whatsoever.
